Vlogust Week 2 | A Walk On The Beach

Two years post chemo…

Two years post chemo… I’m here and strong and moving forward. I wanted to share a poem that I wrote during my cancer treatments. I am still full of lots of emotions and it still feels like yesterday. The emotions are raw and sit on my chest, I hope one day all the pain and sadness of what I went through fades away. In time I’m sure it will. I’m grateful to be here. Each day is a gift.

Herceptin Countdown

Beep beep beep

Beep beep

Chemo in session

Then on pause

Woman having a reaction calling for help

My body trembles

My heart races

I watch as the nurses run to help her

I feel like crying

Emotional state

I pray for her in silence

Cold cloth and medicine

Chairs full of people

Blood transfusions

“Can you state your name and birthdate?”

My chest

Anxious

Flowing emotions

I want to cry

Things will be okay

Warm blankets on the legs

Nurse says hello

They are supportive

Full of kindness

Needles in the arm

Take blood

See the doctor

Prescription set

Five years

Suppress hormone

Estrogen

Need third vaccine booster

Machines working

Buzzing

For the first time I see a young girl in the chairs

My forms on the side of me

One day they will be history

Filed in the depth of a cabinet

Hopefully dust free

As I hide my tears in my mask the humming of the machine Hummmm

Hummmm

The clock ticking

Silence. 

I’ve written a few poems you can access online as an Ebook if you like.

July Mood

💜💜💜

Hello and happy July!

I love making monthly mood boards on Canva and I want to share it with you. 

What are your goals for this month?

My goals are to keep working out this month, to take it slow, pray more, create more art and create more vlogs for my youtube channel.  Going to try and keep it simple. I've uploaded new photos on Red Bubble. I have started a new Pinterest board. It's called Periwinkle. I'm loving how the colour makes me feel. It makes me feel so happy! It's absolutely a stunning colour! This month I am looking forward to watching Christmas in July but in PEI it starts on the 8th on the Women's network. In the USA it already started. Also have you tasted the rocky road cookies from Tim Hortons? omg soooo good. I want to make my own. So delicious. 

Here are a few Art pieces I created recently.

New artwork 

Hope you are all doing well my friends. 

Thank you for reading my post. Lots of positivity and love.

Hello May!

This month is going by so fast, I got sick but I'm better now

I can't plant my garden because it is still too cold on the island

We have a bird feeder and I love birds

Going to get a humming bird feeder up too

I love the animals that are on this island.

How are you all doing?
