"...the powerful, ceaseless, thunderous waves of love and healing are in and it's high tide." Marla Morrow
Marla's statement provides me a wonderful visual image that is an anchor during the hard moments. Thank you, Marla.
We've had a rich few days. We laughed at the Mt. Baker's production of "Hairspray" (thank you, Bob and Karen for the tickets). We laughed even harder at the Cody River Show at the Idiom Theatre. Most of our precious time has been spent in our massive garden, frantically planting, weeding and watering, trying to catch up. We've called a halt to the war on horsetails - they can have their way with us and we surrender.
Tomorrow (Wednesday), Joanne begins her all-day "prep" for surgery, which is a major cleansing of her body so that the surgeon has a clean field in which to work his magic. I've reframed this purging as a purification process to allow more space for light and healing, and to discharge the cancer cells that have already surrendered their lives.
There is a Karen Drucker song that Joanne and I have been singing all week:
"Love fills every cell in my body,
Every cell is alive with love.
I relax into the healing process,
I allow spirit to do what it does."
It is an understatement to admit that relaxing is not my forte. Joanne, however, is a wonderful teacher in the art of relaxing and receiving. I do frantic strategizing, she does calm. We are both eager for the surgery so she will be more comfortable and we know with what we are dealing.
My next post will be from our private room (hold the vision!) at Virginia Mason on Thursday - the sacrament of surgery will be around 2:00 pm. Thank you for all your support.

Good morning Janet and Joanne. Suzy, Katy,and I have our candle lit to hold you near and send our love and prayers for courage, peace, comfort through the surgery tomorrow...Pat H.
We absolutely love the Karen Drucker ditty. We've been singing it all morning. Zander's suggestion is to add "best" at the end. No rhyming, but he said it needs to go there.
It's such a light song, I feel a whirl of giddy energy in my heart chakra, spreading out into my solar plexus and throat, after singing and driving in this beautiful morning sun.
Thanks for sharing it with us, Janet.
Hugs and love,
Tess Hustead and Zander
That room at Virginia Mason is already filled with warm, embracing love and the surgery sanctuary has the most amazing clear light to aid the Healer in his (and Her) work. Blessings on all of you. - Janet Jensen
Dear Friends,
We also loved the ditty and can certainly picture you singing away in the garden!
Joanne, we sure wish you well tomorrow and are visualizing you on the other side of this hurdle.
Our arms are around you both!
Love, Cindy and Sheila
Dear Janet and Joanne,
Huzzahs to you both! I loved seing you at the Cody Rivers show (some of the skits seemed aimed directly at you, Janet!) feeling your celebration of life and laughter. I am surrounding you both with warm hugs and healing light -- love, love, love! Mattie Wheeler
Joanne and Janet,
Well, the clock is counting down towards Thursday and the following are the only things I can think of for you right now are...
You are loved and coveted, our strength, prayers and a powerful, unified vision of healing are being channeled to you from all points on the compass.
There is some major juju moving thru the airwaves towards Seattle, so I would imagine that you are in good hands...our spirit and hearts are with you.
Peace, Love
Jerry

Good Evening Joanne and Janet. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a spiritual healing. Through this time watch all the funniest movies you can. Laughter is healing and your cells will love it too. One of my favorite movies is Bird Cage.
Lots of love is shining on both of you.
Sharol Hall
Joanne and Janet--
I will be actively visualizing healing as you move in that direction tomorrow. If the load gets too heavy, remember to take it off your shoulders for a while and put in on mine or on the shoulders of any of your other friends.
Much love,
Mary Swenson
Ace!
I've thoroughly clogged both the high altitude jet routes and the low altitude airways with massive amounts of love, light, laughter and healing. Everyone traveling by air in the last week and the next few months will be hard-pressed to see anything other than these beams in the skies between ATL and BLI....
Much love,
Ace
Joanne and Janet,
We're praying for wisdom for the doctors, lots of comfort and for a complete recovery. We think of King David who said that the Lord .. heals all your diseases .. redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
We see you now Joanne soaring like an eagle.
We love you,
Bob, Gloria, April and Bryan
Janet,
Know that the prayers of me and my family are with you and Joanne as you walk the winding road on the other side of this surgery.
We do love you.
Sam (and Shannon) Middlebrook
