I have missed a few days over the last weeks, publishing our Quote of the Day.  Here's why:

Thank you for your understanding.

As many of you know, my husband is in the middle of navigating a storm—the storm of cancer. As his wife, caregiver and patient advocate, I have a lot of hats to wear each day and I do so because I feel honored to be with him, to fight for and with him, to insure that he has whatever is best for him, all the time knowing Jesus is there with us.

If you know me at all, I would say I am a spiritual person with a love for God, my higher power, and his son and the Holy Spirit.  Whatever you believe is your business, not mine and it's not anything that will ever come between us.

As Hank and I go through this unbelievable situation, we choose this word "storm" deliberately, as we believe in the power of language and understand how important it is to focus our thoughts in the right direction. 

"As with storms in nature, where the eye is a place of stillness, when you can see your own storms in good perspective, you will find yourself safe and better able to navigate."

  --- Angela Abraham, 2021

Our aim is to pour as much positive energy into this journey as possible, recognizing and cherishing the good moments, the great moments that each day brings, and the wonderful people who have crossed our path as we boldly step into the unknown.

Right now, the storm is a bit foggy, and we’re finding our way through. Some days, you may not see a quote of the day—but please know that we are filled with hope, faith, and gratitude to guide us on this path. And above all, we are not giving up.

During this time, it’s important for us to help others as well. We want you to know that you’re not alone, and we are here to support you in any way we can.

Overwhelmed with gratitude for your kind thoughts, words, and prayers, your help means the world to us. Lately, God has been winking at us, showing us beautiful signs and small miracles, and we are deeply humbled and inspired by it all.

So, please have a wonderful day. And if today is challenging, find those good moments—those small, motivating moments that can propel you forward with love in your heart, faith in your higher power, and the comfort of knowing we're all in this together.

God bless you abundantly.

With love,
Marlene & Hank

P.S. As Denis Waitley put it, enjoy the journey, be energized by it.  We are trying each day to do that.  We hope you are too!
