Thank you, storytellers!

I am filled with gratitude this evening for all the loving support I have been receiving from my storytelling "family." I've been a member of this family for several years, and we communicate through a listserv called "storytell." Storytellers from all over the world communicate via this list, and I've met many of them in person at conferences and festivals as well. Yesterday I let the list know of my cancer, and requested prayers for my healing, and also any information they might be able to share with me about possible treatments.

Since then I have received two phone calls and many e-mails. The positive energy generated by these wonderful storytellers is so very helpful to me. I think storytellers must be some of the most generous and gracious souls on the planet! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your words of support. I feel the light you are sending to me, and I also appreciate some of the information you've shared. I believe that all souls are connected on a spiritual level, and the outpouring of support from all my storytelling friends helps me realize this fundamental truth.

Last night I called one of my best friends in the storytelling family, Angela from New Orleans. Angela had told me before that she had healed herself of breast cancer some years ago, and she did it through a raw food diet and using wheat grass juice. I have already soaked my wheat (and some rye, too) to grow my grass, and in the meantime I'm using commercial preparations of green drinks. I drifted into sleep last night after hearing Angela's beautiful alto voice on the phone as she gave me words of encouragement and hope. I feel so blessed to have such loving and nurturing friends.

Thank you, God, for all my friends!
