Meal Train

Robie is an absolute saint who would happily cook every meal for me, but our hospital experience has already shown us the reality of recovery. Even basic tasks like showering will be a herculean effort. I'll need to walk with both my knees ADHD waist at a 90-degree angles making sure to keep my chest and head up with no support from my arms, while managing 6 drains and multiple surgical wounds. Just getting to the bathroom will be quite an adventure!

With Robie helping me navigate these challenges, cooking meals is simply a goal beyond what's possible. Your contribution to the Meal Train will be a tremendous blessing during this difficult time, allowing Robie to focus on the many other aspects of my care.

Amazon Wishlist

The Amazon wishlist is still active for those who want to help with specific items, most of the medical was resolved quickly (y'all are so amazing) or changes so fast that we can't wait for it. There are still some really helpful easing life items, clothing specific to these months so that Robie can do laundry once a week instead of every couple of days, and stuff for art!

Current Amazon Priority: Gravity chairs will be especially helpful during recovery, as I won't be able to get in and out of the beatiful Adirondack chairs we got for our wedding (did you realize how much you use your arms for that?). You can choose to send one for me or a set so Robie has no excuse but to sit with me in the sun!

Love, Prayers, and Healing Energy

I firmly believe in the power of our collective energy and a loving God/ Higher Power that is a resource to each of us. Each prayer and positive intention helps manifest healing and creates the best possible outcome, turning every step of this journey into an opportunity for growth and deeper understanding.

If you feel called to offer your prayers, healing energy, and loving vibes please focus on:

• For me: That I maintain my positive outlook, humor, and realistic perspective throughout this journey. Pray that I stay on the vibration of healing so my body can fully recover from these complex procedures and their restrictions. Pray that all the cancerous cells have been removed and that our financial well being is stabilized so that I can focus on what is needed of me at this time.

• For Robie: That he knows how deeply valued and appreciated he is. That he allows himself the full range of emotions- including grief that comes with an arduous battle with breast cancer in the first year of marriage. We know he has the love and strength for this- may he also have the space, support, and awareness that ALL of the emotions are big and okay.

• For my extended family: That they have continued peace with this situation and get the supporr they need, especially given their past experiences with losing my mom to Melanoma after going through Breast Cancer with her.

• For my business: That this period of hibernation allows it to gather energy and strength for even greater impact when I return.

I honor your faith tradition or practice and your spiritual support means the world to us.

Folks have asked for my Venmo ID to avoid any fees with other platforms. It's especially easy for sending us money for dinner!

Just tell me if it's for the Go Fund Me and you are okay with my adding your name when I track and post it online-

OR if it's for dinner and then which night you signed up for. We'll remember to use those funds to order in, or you can tell us a restaurant even.
