Is this a really big dog or a really small kitchen? Things that make you say hmmmmmmm. Meet Harley. He’s my best dog buddy since moving to MI. He helps fill that hole in my heart Kitai left behind ❤️ #gsd #germanshepherddog #doggo #dog #pup #buddy #friend #big #huge #visit

I am hooked on hummus. Ive been making many combinations of it using brown or black toasted ground sesame seeds and every kind of bean I can get my hands on. This was a batch of black soybeans + black sesame. It was good but not as good as black beans + black sesame. Other ingredients include a squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of umeboshi vinegar, and a pinch of garlic powder. No oil. The ground sesame is my substitution for tahini. It is so good! Almost as good as ice cream. Maybe as good as ice cream. I often eat it the same way savoring each spoonful 🐷 LOL #macrobiotic #hummus @edenfoods #blacksoybeans #beans #sesame #healthyfood #simple #plantbased #vegetarian #vegan #tasty #delicious #nomnom #yum

Tim (aka The Butterfly Guy) brought this beautiful shadow box display of Michael LaFosse butterflies to share with us at West Michigan Origami folding club’s August meetup. Each butterfly has many tiny jewels attached to them 💕 We have some extraordinarily talented members 😊 #origami #butterflies #paper #bugs #insects #flyers #bright #colors #display #michigan #artist

Symbolic of metamorphosis the dragonfly reminds us that we too can change from who or what we are to who or what we want to be ❤️ Both a beautiful gift and reminder from a dear friend. She has been watching and supporting me as I’ve processed many of the challenges I’ve had for more than a year and has been there for me each step of the way #friend #hasmyback #nevertoolate #change #transformation #metamorphosis #dragonfly #plate #dish #pottery #symbolism #nature

Mostly good news today at the neuro-oncologist’s office. The spots in my brain haven’t gotten bigger or multiplied. And there was no vascular activity found in them which means there is still a chance they are not tumors. The MRI and spectroscopy tests did show a small chance the diagnosis may lean towards tumors due to a slightly elevated chemical level... And a spinal tap may happen soon to rule out a different possibility than had been considered after the MRI in April: Multiple Sclerosis. No problem. Bring. It. On. My doctor doesn’t think I have MS but since the radiologist said it couldn’t be excluded it was suggested we find out to rule it out. The new radiologist changed the “Indication” of what they think I most likely have to “low grade gliomas” vs the first report’s “low grade lesions.” Words matter. Gliomas are worse but my doctor still isn’t ruling out scar tissue from her differentials. I’ll try to blog more details tomorrow. I enjoyed a very simple dinner of brown rice and farro with azuki beans and kale porridge. I was too tired to do anything more. It was delicious and hit the spot. The kale is from my neighbor’s homegrown care package two days ago 💕 #update #mri #test #results #gliomas #lesions #ms #scars #macrobiotic #dinner #grain #rice #azuki #bean #bowl #kale #vegan #vegetarian #plantbased #health #recovery

Just my opinion... When something bad happens in your life never focus on the people you thought would care but don’t. Instead focus on the people who do care and make sure you know in a thousand different ways 💕 No one is obligated to care about me, or you. But there will always be those that do. I am grateful and blessed to be loved by many ❤️ My neighbor R came by yesterday bringing me this beautiful bouquet of flowers and everything he had grown in his garden that is part of my macrobiotic food list. That kind of caring makes a huge difference in my state of mind and being positive. Just as all of the positive energy, heartfelt cards, rides to my doctor’s appointments and procedures, uplifting visits, care packages, and everyone just checking in on me all matter more than you all know. Tomorrow I’ll meet with the neuro-oncologist to go over the second MRI results. Good or bad news I’m not worried. I know I’m on the right path to heal 😊 #flowers #gift #caring #gratitude #surprise #friends #neighbors #diagnosis #braintumors #healing #caring #advice #wisdom #heal #mental #health #positivity #gratitude

Sorry the pencil sketch is hard to see but here is the first sneak peek of my ArtPrize entry this fall. The title is “Kintsugi Heart.” It will be a mixed media piece consisting of a painted heart and the mended, gold, origami crane fracture lines. Meaning the lines consist of nested paper cranes folded in graduated sizes. I have wanted to create this piece for years. With the new studio I now have the space to do so 😊 #origami #mini #gold #peace #cranes #heart #sketch #concept #kintsugi #artprize #entryinprogress #tinygami #grandrapids #michigan
