In the past three weeks I've attended three full-day workshops to help me get back on track. The first, Positively Pink, was for breast cancer survivors, very inspiring. Met lots of great women and support/care workers and volunteers. Great progress is being made in this field, especially in pathology and especially here in Calgary.
Then we had a Women's Health Day, organized by the Ismaili society in Calgary. A great public service and many good speakers.
This weekend I went to a women's retreat in Cochrane in the foothills, called Tapestry. Speakers were from a broad spectrum: ex-corporate turned stand-up comedienne/coach, First Nations politician/union leader, and reserve nurse/healer. It was fascinating. I ran into several women I knew from my past and present lives. There's a fascinating native belief that we walk with seven generations behind us to support us, and seven generations ahead of us. Makes for some serious contemplation. If that's true, and seven generations behind me are on my shoulder, I only intend listening to the good ones!
We stayed with Ursula and Dieter in Cochrane for the weekend so I didn't have to do much driving. It was great. Friday she invited 4 other friends for dinner, and Saturday and Sunday she cooked her heart out for us again. I .finally managed to drink some champagne easily, and a smidgeon of Limoncelo. My taste buds are still off so wine is wasted on me. We woke to a beautiful snow cover Sunday so had a lazy time playing Mexican Train, a form of dominoes.
It seem I have a handful of vitamins/minerals/substances to take every day but the leg cramps have gone, the sore mouth is going and I seem to be getting my energy field back.
