DEAR
CLIENTS and FRIENDS,
I have just been recently diagnosed with colon cancer. Trust me, I was not expecting that news either! I was having some
digestive issues (but no pain) and a colonoscopy last week confirmed that there
is a rectal tumor causing these issues. Over the past whirlwind of a week, I've had
additional diagnostic tests. Thankfully, we have a dear friend, a brilliant MD,
who meets with us regularly to guide us through the massive amount of
information that we're receiving. Thursday we will be meeting with a surgeon,
and radiologist, and on the 23rd an oncologist. After that I will have a good idea of the "Plan"
Meanwhile...I am still painting my "Painting A Day" as I have the time and these paintings will be offered
for purchase on my Blog, on Facebook, and on Instagram as usual. We also plan to run
some "SPECIALS" for the purchase of existing inventory to make
up for the times that I am not able to paint. STAY TUNED for these "SPECIALS". Also I have cancelled (postponed!) my March classes.
We are sharing this information with the hopes that you'll be extra patient with us if
your order is a little late or if our response time to you is not as quick as you are
used to.
On a positive note, you know I am generally healthy, very active
(bike riding and exercising) and am hoping this helps me in the battle. AND I have a very strong Christian
faith. I am requesting some heavy duty prayers from each of you! Thank you in advance for your PATIENCE, PRAYERS, CONCERNS, and KIND WISHES. I will do a blog update as I go along on this journey, updating you on my progress.
