On the subject of things both strange and marvelous, I’ve discovered and experienced the body in a few new ways since this all started…

4:30 am and I’m awake. In my own bed, a huge relief; however, I’m misted head-to-toe in sweat. Disoriented from another night of apocalyptic-style nightmares. They started during my stay at the hospital, and when I started my chemo infusions. In the nightmares, I’m always trying to get ‘home’ to go to sleep. I get trapped in some horror-filled funhouse.

Thank you THANK YOU to my friends and family who have poured out love and prayer and healing energy to me. Please know, even if you don’t receive a personal response from me right now, I see you and feel your love. I hope providing these wider updates helps keep those interested in the loop!

Hi beautiful friends & family,

I wanted to share with you the wild plot twist in my story. As many have said, a small (albeit serious) chapter in an epic novel bound for many more future chapters.

Last week I was diagnosed with a type of non-hodgkins lymphoma and have been in the hospital while a team of (incredible) doctors and (amazing) nurses make a treatment plan.
