The birds who hang around my backyard bring me joyful thrills. I was sitting on my bed and captured this short video. It's not unusual for our backyard to be filled with birds. I love hearing the sounds of birds or seeing them flying or perching. It doesn't matter where or when I usually feel a jolt of awareness and connection when I witness birds--which is all day long every day. They have become a huge coping and grounding experience for me. It thrills me to simply hear the soft coos of #mourningdoves. • • And of course the dear hummingbirds who show themselves to me everywhere. My daughter and I were out in a park recently and observed a hummingbird gathering fluffy dandelion seeds for it's nest. A young friend was over earlier this week and she said to me, "You have a lot of hummingbird feeders!" • • The beauty that surrounds us is always here if we slow down and listen with more than just our ears. #slowdown #breathe #birds #notice #practiceawareness #payattentiontoyourattention #joyfulthrills #copingtools #groundingtools #listen #listenwithyourheart #heartawakened #wholehearted

Glitter cool down jars make a great fidget tool. Shaking them in different directions and watching the glitter slowly settle helps with resetting your mood from agitation to calm. Plus, it's fun to make in multiple colors. Give it a try. You can make one two or three colored bottles with glitter, glitter glue, and foil sequins in a rainbow of colors or metallic colors to give it texture. You can also use Elmer's clear glue to thicken the water and make the glitter settle slower. You want to make sure you fill the bottle to the absolute top and put super glue gel around the entire inside lid and tighten it down as tight as you can. I found all the supplies I needed at Walmart and Dollar Tree so it's fairly cheap to make. My favorite bottle to use is Dr. Pepper because of the swirls on the outside of the bottle, plus I get to drink Dr. Pepper. #glitter #glittercooldown #fidget #fidgets #fidgettoy #glitterbottles #therapy #therapeutic #copingstrategies #copingtools #treatment #recovery #healing #strategy

I just spent the past two days in Manchester with @abrom93 for his birthday (which is officially tomorrow) Spending time in big cities is difficult for me, I enjoy it of course and had a lovely time but it’s overwhelming. I have things in place to help me now when I’m in crowded and loud places which really helps me. • let the person I’m with know if I don’t feel well • express to them wether it is mental health or physical health related • let them know if I need to sit down or find somewhere quiet to rest for a little bit • regular toilet stops • learn when I have done enough and know when to stop • learn not to feel guilty for my needs • take things as slow as I need • stay hydrated • eat • leave if I need to • don’t put pressure on myself and don’t allow anyone else to put pressure on me • spend my time with people who understand my needs • don’t feel ashamed if I need to cry • allow myself complete silence if needs be For me personally these things help me stay more relaxed, they help me feel less panicked and I do not feel pressured to do anything if I can’t manage it. Expressing yourself and your needs to your loved ones should be easy, we shouldn’t feel ashamed if we need to stop at any point! I’m so grateful to be with someone who is caring and attentive, we may have taken the past two days slow and not fit as much in as we used to but we still had an amazing time and that’s what counts! The heat could probably have done with not being a thing though!! ❤️ #supportivepartner #suporttivebf #support #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalillnessawareness #endthestigma #speakup #speakout #boundaries #yougotthis #copingtools #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpd #bpdblogger #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue (at V Rev Vegan Diner)

After chemo--the whole infusion process takes about three hours--I then keep changing out the #coldcaps for about three more hours. So if I have chemo at 9am then by about 3pm I am done with the whole process. Then I have somatic experiences for the next 3-4 days of all those drugs (steroids, Benadryl, and the chemo) coursing through my body and causing all kinds of havoc. • • Happily, the caps are working. I am in my fifth month of weekly #chemo and I still have my hair!!! This is priceless #normalcy for me and my family. These #chemocaps take a fair amount of work each week. My friend Q--father of my children, ex-husband, and huge support in the last two (of 4.5) years of #CancerCollege--has been my hair champion. I give thanks each night when I go to sleep while I hold my #braids like they are #prayerbeads. I'm #grateful for this man and our non-traditional relationship in the face of #cancer and #deathanddying. • • Yesterday, after chemo and capping, I desperately wanted/needed to lie my body on the earth. I do this regularly. It's one of my #copingtools and I've heard some people call it #earthing. It's now a thing. There are books, which to me is just another reflection of how our culture has lost touch with our instincts. I know people who might feel silly, weird, dirty or just plain wrong lying their bodies directly on the earth. Why I wonder? I've been doing this my whole life long, so yay for strong instincts and having the guts to follow them. Sure, I've been laughed at and downright denigrated for my #earthloving ways. Yet still I stand to #protectthesacred. I press on through other people's discomfort and judgement. • • Yesterday, my daughter and I found a lovely patch of #daisies and we laid our bodies down. And then we got up and frolicked amongst the daisies and dandelions and a fallen tree. Prayers a flyin' all around. My daughter said it looked like I was in a field of stars. Yes. Yes. Yes. 🌟✨💫⭐️🌟💫✨🌟

Our sweet dog Jude turned seven over the weekend. He has been my constant companion today. • Yesterday I danced in my five rhythms dance community for the first time in a long while. It was a Sunday morning sweat your prayers dance, and the afternoon held a memorial for my friend Kathy, a vibrant member of our dance community who died a few weeks ago. Peace to you dear Kathy. Thank you for all that you shared with the world. #sweatyourprayers #5rhythms #dancechurch #griefandloss #fatigue #cancer #copingtools #dogsheal

This past weekend I chose fun. . Choosing fun and #choosinglife are mantras for me these days. I am feeling so freaking happy and relieved to have had the energy and low enough pain in my body to sit and cheer (loudly) through a three-day basketball tournament that had us up early and out late. . I'm now shifting into this morning's reality. Scan time. . It's #metsmonday and I have a #ctscan this morning. This is the first scan since starting weekly chemo last November. Whoa...LAST November, it's almost March. I am going to take a moment and acknowledge my sweet body and all that it has endured and is enduring. I am flooding my own being with loving kindness right now. I am cheering for myself to stay steady as two radiologists view me from the inside and determine how this disease is behaving in my body. I am doing all I can within to hold myself open and stand bravely with my heart open on this threshold. I have had progression show up on all scans for the past two years. I don't remember what it's like to have a stable scan, much less one that was NED since I have never met that goal of becoming #noevidenceofdisease. . I have no treatment options left in the conventional world of #cancer except chemotherapies. My number one mission in life these days is to not run #fear and #stress through my body or to at least notice more quickly when I start to freak out, and employ the numerous techniques I have in my stress-busting toolbox to calm myself down. .

My 11-year-old daughter came home from school today, gave me some sweet snuggles, and then went into her room for a long time. When she came out she showed me a card she had made for a sad friend. . . She sums it up, "Death is a scary thing, you don't know what happens." She goes on to suggest, "...celebrate her and what an amazing woman she was." . . This card touches my heart deeply. It gives me a golden nugget of warmth and hope that my daughter has been digesting many things we talk about regularly. She is showing me a great gift, she understands how important it is to grieve AND celebrate a beloved after death. . . We talk about death. We talk about ways of keeping memories alive. We talk about how love and memories can live vividly in one's heart. We talk about the #cancer. We talk about potential scenarios. . . I'm 4.5 years into a de novo (from the beginning) #metastaticbreastcancer diagnosis. We talk about a lot of things related to this disease, our family, and our lives. I've gone past multiple expiration guesses from oncologists. I hope to #keeponkeepingon inching towards being an #outlier. #deathanddying #griefandloss #copingtools #dogsheal #deepbreathing #artheals #musicheals #natureheals #loveheals
