Cancerversary. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Never expected to last this long, and don’t expect to last much longer. But I’ve tried hard to have some adventures and enjoy the extra time I had. Grateful to my med team for making that possible. Still hanging on. #cansky

Another one from much warmer times, recording 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' in North Carolina. A welcome reminder that spring will always come again.
I hope you’re staying bundled up out there and enjoying time with loved ones.

🧵I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about kindness since I've moved here to Aotearoa New Zealand and would like to share some thoughts. (Please bear with me!):
1. Kindness is learned. It's not innate. People are taught kindness by other people. We are creatures that learn by example.

Folks, please. When someone is diagnosed with cancer that is treatable but not curable, do not wish them a full recovery. Wish for effective treatment, good quality of life, strength and comfort, but don’t wish for things that aren’t going to happen. It’s cruel. Trust me, I’m stage 4.
