Wow. Life is moving along so wonderfully!

I've lost another 15 lbs. I mean, I know I'm eating better and exercising more, but this is a little leap after the healing exercises I've been doing with my new friend from Australia. I'm just amazed by the results of these visualizations we've been doing.

He's also highly trained in chinese medicine/acupressure and acupuncture. He's offered some suggestions for Meme's toe wound, and where the podiatrist had said he thought it would never heal due to her circulatory issues, since I've been applying what he suggested, it IS healing. Also, he helped my sister with excessive menstrual bleeding, and me with a couple of issues that I'd sort of reached a block with medicinally. I'm so grateful he's in my life! He may even come to the states for a visit. That would just be wild!

My sister went back to Kansas, which is not so wonderful but I know she had to get back home. :-( I'm going to miss her companionship and the wonderful support she provided while she was here. It was so amazingly wonderful to have her here! She helped so much with Meme! She spent time cooking her the meat dishes that she loves that I cannot/will not prepare since I just can't tolerate the preparation of the meat. She visited with her, and just was an extra support in her care all around. And the kids absolutely adore her, so they got so much from the visit as well! The only thing is, space is limited at my house and so we shared a bed during the month she was here, and...well, apparently we had a couple of conversations while we were both sleeping, and I smacked her in the head a couple of times while I was rolling over. LOL!! It will be good to get back to my normal sleep habits, and I'm sure she's relieved to be sleeping in her own bed!

School is going well, though it's been more challenging this term! And as I get into the accounting stuff, and more into the philosophy stuff, I LOVE the philosophy! But I'm just not sure how that would translate practically to a career. LOL!!!

Jess is safely home from the navy. Steven and Amanda graduate in a few weeks. Jennell is graduating from her high school in Washington, AND she'll also be graduating with her ASSOCIATE degree out of the way!!!! I'm so proud of them!!!

Meme and I are staying in The Dalles instead of moving in to Portland to be closer to her health care, but we've decided to move to a mfr. home that my aunt owns, so that our expenses will go down. Meme is REALLY hanging in there!!! I can't believe how well she's doing!!! I will like staying in town since I know college here, and I'm comfortable getting around, and I have a pretty decent support system set up here.

It's interesting, to look back to September just before Miah asked me to marry him, and previous to that, and to realize that, even then, I knew there were things coming that were going to be difficult to embrace in terms of that relationship. The Universe was, in ways not altogether obvious to me at the time, trying to prepare me for the direction my life would ultimately take - away from Miah. And yet, if I hadn't encountered that wound, the window to Steve would not have opened up, with the healing gifts he had put aside for so long and then was compelled to offer me because my pain was so accute. And THAT has opened other doors that might otherwise never have been seen...

Life is moving right along, and in such an awesome way!

Thank you, Universe!!!
