Today is the first day of my final chemo cycle! My hands already hurt, my feet are already peeling, and the dark circles around my eyes have deepened but I’m still doing the happy dance!
After the end of these two weeks, I get a healing break. On March 14 I get to have an MRI to see how much the tumor has shrunk. And on the 20th I’ll turn 53! Whoop!
This process has been a long one but has gone by quickly. The key to what I am now calling “happiness even though” has been acceptance. It’s amazing what kind of power can be harnessed and what can be accomplished within the bounds of acceptance. I’d give you examples, but honestly, I need to take nap! So that’s what I am going to do!
People have asked me what they can do to support me. I don’t always know how to answer that- but today I do!
Please send prayers and healing mojo! Got a prayer list? Please put me on it😊

I thank everyone who has helped support me on this journey – whether it’s a cup of raspberry cocoa, a homemade meal, a romp with my dog, a basket of goodies, a kind word, time on the phone with me when things are wonky, or cash to support me and my critters, all is appreciated!
There’s a lot of heavy stuff happening in our world right now. Focusing my time and energy on things I cannot control has never gotten me anywhere and has only impacted those around me negatively. Focusing on taking care of myself and sharing my talents and skills with my community has made a bigger impact than I could have ever imagined. If you’re also on this path, I’d love to hear your story in the comments. If you’re not, I highly suggest giving it a try and see what happens😊
Lotsa love!
Jenni
Love you … 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
