My Word for New Year 2023

January 1, 2023 / eddiesandcurrents / 2 Comments

As many of you know, I follow these instructions to let a word for each year find me: In ancient times, wise men and women fled out into the desert to find a place where they could be fully present to the divine and to their own inner struggles at work within them. The desert … Continue reading My Word for New Year 2023

Breast cancer Round 2: Positive news!

October 26, 2022October 26, 2022 / eddiesandcurrents / 9 Comments

Today is six weeks to the day after my bilateral mastectomy, and it's the day I saw my medical oncologist to find out the results of the OncotypeDX Breast Recurrence Score Report. When my medical oncologist came in the exam room, her first words were "Good news!!" That's what I was hoping to hear. I … Continue reading Breast cancer Round 2: Positive news!

Breast Cancer Round 2: My surgery decision (and more)

August 19, 2022 / eddiesandcurrents / 19 Comments

If you just want the short version, here it is: I've chosen to have a double mastectomy, no reconstruction. If you'd like to know more, keep reading . . . My decision is two-faceted, the rational and the intuitive. The rational: The percentages of having cancer return are the lowest with a double mastectomy.

So what's my word for 2022? It's a verb, one that seems obvious for the pandemic.

Celebrating 10 years cancer-free

December 5, 2021 / eddiesandcurrents / 6 Comments

On this day at this time (December 5 at 1 PM) I was home or about to be home after a breast lumpectomy and node removal. I don't recall ever wondering during that time whether I'd still be around in a decade. Even though that wasn't a thought back then, here I am now, 10 … Continue reading Celebrating 10 years cancer-free

It’s all about the letting go

All I have to do is trust, just as autumn trees do.

My word for 2021. A surprise!

January 1, 2021 / eddiesandcurrents / 3 Comments

Last year my word for the year was release. It turned out to be exactly the right word for 2020. With all of the changes brought by COVID-19 I released a lot. I released expectations, craving for normal, gathering with friends. I released some "shoulds." Though it was a very difficult year for so many, … Continue reading My word for 2021. A surprise!

September 7, 2020September 7, 2020 / eddiesandcurrents / Leave a comment

Because I realize now that there is never a time of total escape from some type of "problem" that seemingly hangs over my head.

Feeling anxious? Stretch your body!

March 17, 2020 / eddiesandcurrents / 4 Comments

The COVID-19 isolation has a lot of us feeling anxious and on edge . . . and I want to share one of my strategies to calm myself. If you've known me well for any length of time, you'll be surprised at my answer. For too long I resisted doing daily stretching or yoga. I'm … Continue reading Feeling anxious? Stretch your body!

Acupuncture: “Muscle moves bone . . . “

January 20, 2020March 9, 2020 / eddiesandcurrents / 3 Comments

I'll begin by saying that—for me—acupuncture is nearly a miracle. I had a six-week course of weekly treatments this summer, and my painful right shoulder regained mobility along with much less pain and arthritis cracking. So when my back hurt more and more, I figured acupuncture was surely worth a try. But I had no … Continue reading Acupuncture: “Muscle moves bone . . . “
