Her teachings were a big inspiration for me though I never called myself a Buddhist.<br /><br />All the best to you in your 35th year!Stephen Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777652648990108253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6951027584834725236.post-83521660642586672072014-08-08T08:59:58.294-07:002014-08-08T08:59:58.294-07:00Debra, thank you so much for finding me, and inclu...Debra, thank you so much for finding me, and including me. It was absolutely wonderful getting to read all the posts, and quite the honor to be one of the chosen bloggers. I know I'm going to learn a lot from the other brain tumor fighters, and that's invaluable. Thanks again!

The more you learn about new on-the-horizon treatments you start to store away plans B,C,D,E,F, etc. and it gives you power and the chance to breathe a little. Good luck! And thank you for commenting, it made me feel really good.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716846039882765905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6951027584834725236.post-63140401449789992062014-08-08T06:08:47.061-07:002014-08-08T06:08:47.061-07:00Thanks for this!
