If someone is speaking...

your only responsibility is to listen...

Don't try to come up with a response.  Do not try to tell your story. Do not contemplate what you will say next.  Do not start thinking about how you will solve their dilemma.  Just listen...

I am balanced...

Okay so if you do not want to hear about breast references then you can skip this post.  

So today is a good day - in spite of really painful feet and ankles (I walked with wrong shoes earlier in the week), a two day head-neck-back ache (due to walking off balance), and feeling really really tired I had a great day.  

Today I purchased and am wearing a balancer.  Yup I bought a professional quality bra-cutlet and who would have thought that a small piece of silicone the size of a chicken cutlet would and could make such a difference.  But it did and it does.  Today I feel balanced.  No, I didn't get back my perfect breasts - and yes they were perfect (I have always said so); I didn't find a way to hide that big scar but I am finally even.  I now look balanced in a T-shirt, a tight top, or a tank top.  I don't have to hide behind layers...thank you Nordstroms, thank you insurance company, thank you God... 

Other good news - my oncologist has given me the all clear.  After throwing a wrench in my progress and putting my life on hold the entire month of March - I am free to move forward on projects, work, life.  I am so happy.  I am happy because I know, not because I don't have to go through treatment - but because I can begin.  Exercise, nutrition, spirit, movement, my head space, finances, everything - I am looking forward to what happens from this point on...

I wish...

...someone would look at me the way that he looks at his beautiful wife...

There are magical places in this world, enchanting places...

Stunning

Perhaps it is that I am growing older, maturing if you will.  I am seeing the beauty in the older face.  The grey sides on a handsome man, the beautiful aging of a woman - all the while her eyes are still those of a 20 year old.  I just watched the movie Nights in Rodanthe with Richard Gere and Diane Lane.  They were both stunning, simply stunning.  

Here is a beautiful woman I found on the web - look at her eyes...

Says it all...doesn't it?

Beautiful people
