Morsels of Hope on the New Path

July 12, 2020 / conniesedona317 / 11 Comments

Last week I stepped across two more rocks in the river of The Gap; the first was moving  to my new home and second was closing on our house. These were exhausting, yet invigorating, accomplishments that were reminders of God's faithfulness in helping me to move forward on my new solo path. On the morning … Continue reading Morsels of Hope on the New Path

I Choose Joy!

October 20, 2018 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

That day, my nursing supervisor called me to intervene with an employee situation. Since I’d worked in mental health for fifteen years before becoming a school nurse, she depended on me to help settle down a staff member who was upset, out of control about a student situation she felt had been mishandled. By the … Continue reading I Choose Joy!

Digging Up My Buried Shame

October 13, 2018 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

Our group of six women sat around the conference room table of Waverly Hematololgy and Oncology, the place where I'd received my chemo years before and now participated in the first Expressive Writing Group. Mary Barnard, Office Manager and poet, was our group leader and was certified in teaching the Write to Heal program created … Continue reading Digging Up My Buried Shame

New Beginnings: Moving Beyond the Gap

September 14, 2018 / conniesedona317 / 3 Comments

In last week's post, I left you sitting in The Gap, encouraging you to allow yourself to feel that anxiety that comes with uncertainty, finding a resting spot in that trough between Endings and New Beginnings (see Forced Endings: Struggling in The Gap) New Beginnings is that last stage of Bill Bridges Map for Change where … Continue reading New Beginnings: Moving Beyond the Gap

3 Things I Learned from Cancer

May 9, 2018 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

Now that I've been a breast cancer survivor for almost eighteen years, I think back on the three things I learned from going through treatment.  It occurs to me that what I learned from cancer can be applied to other areas of life—even to becoming a parent, like my son and daughter-in-law did just one … Continue reading 3 Things I Learned from Cancer

Taking Time to Savor

April 15, 2018 / conniesedona317 / 14 Comments

A boulder has been lifted off my shoulders.  The project I’ve been working on for months, the book proposal for my memoir, Saved by Sedona: Finding a Path of Pilgrimage, has been completed and sent to an interested Literary Agent.  Instead of resorting to my past behavior of rushing on to the next thing, or … Continue reading Taking Time to Savor

Don’t You Deserve to be Cared For?

December 13, 2017 / conniesedona317 / 2 Comments

"I thought I was done with cancer.  But now they're saying I need lymphedema treatment," I told her, irritated at this interruption in my life.  I'd traveled to Edisto Island, South Carolina for my second solo journey the day after I'd been assessed at the Lymphedema Clinic.  When they told me I'd need intensive treatment, … Continue reading Don’t You Deserve to be Cared For?

You Need to Overseed!

December 3, 2017 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

The day Darlene shaved my head when it was inevitable that my hair would fall out, fifteen days after my first chemo, I returned home wondering how my family would handle it.  When my tenth-grade son, Brooks saw me, he said, “Mom, you look like G.I. Jane!” and chuckled.  Months after I finished my treatment … Continue reading You Need to Overseed!

Childhood Dreams

November 8, 2017November 9, 2017 / conniesedona317 / 2 Comments

The dream of riding a horse in the wide-open West had been with me since I was a girl.  Those Saturday morning shows like Roy Rogers spurred my interest, making me want to feel that freedom from a saddle.  When my Aunt Polly told me stories of visiting the Tetons, my dream broadened to riding horseback … Continue reading Childhood Dreams

Finding the Divine in the Everyday

August 2, 2017August 2, 2017 / conniesedona317 / 4 Comments

The evening after my third chemotherapy, I was lying on my bed and barely able to lift my head.  My nausea and fatigue had increased with the cumulative impact of the medicine.  It was distressing to think I had to go through three more infusions, scheduled once every three weeks, and after that thirty radiation … Continue reading Finding the Divine in the Everyday
