Having cancer felt like I had an incendiary device set to go off of its own will. It took months to resolve. I've side lined my 2 girls medical serious issues and I've had a few of my own. For me.. mine would heal in time.
This has been a non-stop nightmare freefall with Cancer running the show.
My first biopsy was contaminated by my intake of Biotin. I needed it to restore my hair after Covid and Paxlovid.
The second biopsy came in Friday with the news that the nodules on my thyroid are encapsulated cancer, small enough to wait on. We will check again in a year. The doctor isn't worried.
I am really good at worrying!! Cancer made me sit in the psychological washer machine's Spin Cycle. I'm doing my danged best to turn it off and get back to normal.
On the next turn past the k**b... I'm gonna smack it OFF and go to the taqueria for a pumpkin empanada to celebrate lasso-ing the fear.
Just the same. I stayed strong where I needed to be and I rejected BS and defended myself knowing my limits. There is metal and courage to me, instilled by my faith in the good and the caring around me. Even though my ID was spinning, I stayed focused and didn't falter much. The magnificence of the capacity of the Introvert's mind. We are the duck... calm on the water.. ..paddling furiously!

Lecciones de la Tierra 2023

Your shade casts taller than you are
Your shade casts taller than you were
You're still small
But You're Who and What set out to... Be

Live adjusts
Sometimes cruelly
There's not much left after the pruning
There's little left to prove which Tree I am

Limbs still left to Stand... Dance
Face the Sun
Stay the Course
And ask ... Why Should I Bother?

It's Winter... a Season we try to Survive.
Cutting Me may be Necessary
But what of that around me?
Why isn't All Pruned?

Roots still Grounded... Taking and Giving
Touching, Impressing, Molding
Changing the World
Where my Feet Walk

Taking and Giving.. every Day, every Year
After each Winter, after each Pruning
Regenesis of Strength, Focus, Commitment
To Changing the World Where my Feet Walk

So, how does this End?
It doesn't, and it Never will!
The lesson from the Soil 2023...
To leave a Mark... I must Live!

This woman has so much to battle against and it's wonderful to see her win some. She fights for her life, and to be with her kids. To ride bikes with Terran and Hunter and to spend time with them at TaeKwon Do. It's an ongoing vigil and celebration for Kathryn Vinson journey. There's no explaining how brave, and beautiful this hammered-brass woman is.

The view from my perch. The Beatles original Poster insert from the Abbey Road Album, Bob Dylan as a young musician, a compilation of mirrors to make this place look bigger and a Lithograph of "Ignacio" from the Museo de Diego Rivera. I love the simplicity that captures the life of that little boy. It tells a million stories to a mind like mine who once played barefoot on the bare yard at 522 Hobbs.

I needed to remind myself of who I am.. I strive to cjange tge world where my feet are. There's been so many difficult changes lately. It was good to look back.
I put all of the degrees on the wall by the French crystal. (Lol). Dallas Press Club covers a 5 state area. An accolade from them is huge. I got 5 and the top award.. the Katie for reporting on the political realities of Immigration. The first Dallas Press Club ceremony I attendee was keynoted by Walter Cronkite. I grew with that man bringing the news nightly into our home at 522 Hobbs and there he was a few tables away.
U.S. Congressman Ciro Rodroguez nominated my work for Pulitzer submission 3 times: Foot soldier War stories. The miscarriage of law in domestic violence cases in Duval County, and a series of editorials. I paid the Pulitzer committee to mail my submissions back, so I still have them. I competed well.
The State of Texas altered the laws for Domestic violence based on my findings. The State Bar Association presented me with a Gavel award.
Those were a few moments from a life well lived. My Tapestry isn't done yet. I left journalism for Academia. I left my mark there too. Then I stepped up to Alice High School to change the world for my home town students... to get as many as I can.. college ready.. life ready... don't be afraid to try ...ready.
I'm still here and change just needs to settle down and let me catch my breath so I can back to being Bad As I Wanna Be!!
