Oncology Day for this

And while its triggering enough to just get the blood work. . . Its days like today that I miss my Amelia most.

She was my strength. My shoulder to cry on. The one who understood and could put me in check when the emotions got ridiculous.

It becomes that much more triggering for me. . .and I try to be strong, treat it like a regular old check up. . . But the tears still come.

I do better.
I give myself my private time to ugly cry. . . Then I get myself together and do the damn thing.

Every 6 months I do this. Almost 7 years in remission. It chokes me up when I think about it.

I still am not sure what the work is I have to do in this life. . . I feel lost more times than found. . .

But in those moments I also feel God more than ever.

I gain comfort during yoga as my prayer time.
Its really not about me. . . I am just a small piece of God's greater plan.

Blood work up looked good. I will get my signatera results in a few days.

I was referred to a neurologist because my left hand and forearm go numb all the time and it hurts and its scary. . . But other than that. . . Somehow someway I am doing the work to stay

This isnt the path I planned. But slowly im learning to understand and be

Im sure it also helped that 2026 started off with being completely moved and inspired by .usa

So to the THANK YOU!!! I didnt know how badly I needed your courage, strength and example of love and kindness.

Thank you 😊

Dancing truly does help make your troubles go away.
Not for good.
Not forever.
But for enough time to release some energy in a feel good for your body kinda way

And alot of times, some pretty cool choreo comes from the troubles we face!

"KINDNESS IS FREE"

The gift of kindness!!!
It doesnt cost a thing! Yet, in some scenarios it can be the hardest gift to give!

As I continue to with .usa I am realizing. . . To share there message is simple

To be an example of their message. . . Has been a daily, hourly work in progress, but its worth it.

Its worth it to with others to be well to be happy and to be at peace.

I have to be honest. . .my experience and prayer with the in the journey as they from Ft Worth Texas to D.C feels soul changing in a positive way!!!

They do not speak to convert. . . To challenge belief systems and religions. . . Their message is simple

In all beings wish them well wish them happiness wish them peace. 💖

EVEN YOUR ENEMY!!!

I didnt realize it would be so difficult. . . But in the same moment. . . Over the last 6 days. . . My conscience gets uneasy with those former hateful thoughts and regrets.

My conscience reminds me. Leave the past where it belongs. Don't carry those hurts into the present.

So im learning. Im reflecting. Im deciding to walk with the monks in spirit and do my best each day to change my mindset when it gets mean and dark and heavy.

They moved me to tears with feeling and emotion I cant even begin to explain. The energy they carried uplifted me. . . As if in that moment I was floating as they walked by.

This is no coincidence. God knows what hes doing. Im being reminded of my light within. Im learning how to give more to that "little light of mine." Thank you for helping me heal and forgive!!

Thank you for walking. I pray for continued protection for all and for precious Aloka usa

Thanks to for the tutorial on how to do

It is not as easy as it seems, but I definitely enjoyed the opportunity to try something new.

Its so fun to scroll and find new yoga poses to work on. . . To challenge my practice. . . To up the ante.

I think the key to continuing to make a priority is in looking forward to the next challenge. The next level.

Working on more in 2026 and becoming more mindful and present in my personal practice.

A New Year to remember . . . That was never a plan!!!

This message I must carry throughout

To show love and kindness ❤️ to be mindful of others.

This walk is meant to vibrate positivity throughout the universe. To wish for ALL to be happy peaceful and blessed.

Dig deeper. . . In the meaning behind what we are witnessing. A truly truly remarkable, spiritually moving experience!!

As I saw on one person's sign "peace be with you."

I am still taking it all in. Grateful for this core memory with my dear friend Sally!!!

We had no idea what to expect or if we would even see them. . . But we both wanted the chance to simply be in their presence.

It was moving. It was breathtaking. It was amazing.
I was gifted a rose from A Monk. An amazing Monk walking Aloka!!!

According to research "the serenity of the Buddhist world finds its reflection in flowers. Serving as symbols of purity, impermanence, and the cycles of life that rise and eventually fade away (source: urbanflowers.com/blog)."

This core memory. . . It has only just begun to unfold.
To the end of 2025 and the start of 2026. . .may we all be more mindful to walk in peace more often.
I know I need to and will make the effort moving forward!

Not trying to speed up the holiday break Buuuuuuut . . . I did enjoy taking down christmas at

I had a friend suggest to me that maybe I should do myself up a little better before I record and share. . .
I get it. . .
No make up no fancy hair do. . . No special outfit brand to
I'm not doing anything "special."

And in that conversation I realized this. . . Its not my plan to look amazing on camera.
Its not my goal to make my life look together and organized as if I know what I am doing in

So I'd rather share my content this way. No rehearsing, no compilation of prolific verbiage, no amazing act.
Just a simple human sharing thoughts in hopes to inspire others who can relate.

So here I am. . . A year after the scariest night of my life. . .
followed by 6 months of utter confusion, chaos and distraction from listening to my inner voice. All of my flaws. All of my realness. All of my little tiny world.

So whether you love the holiday season or look forward to getting through it and into the next new start. . . Take time to check in with yourself:
Journal
Exercise
Meditate
Stretch
Cook
Bake
Drive
Ride
Read
Listen to music
Dance
Go outside
Take a nap
Talk to yourself. . . . Just a few suggestions.

Because its Christmas and is my favorite.

and my shout out to my friend in heaven as I reflect on . . . Admitting I got some work to do in the department.

While I had the opportunity to release from intense feelings I had caged inside my chest. . . It was embarrassing debilitating and time consuming.

Not ideal. But it happened and its ok. And I pray i learn enough to make sure next time I breathe and fall apart later once I'm home!
