I am halfway done with my Chemotherpy treatments! What an awesome milestone. Every day from here on is on the other side of the mountain, I get a different vista..... I am so grateful to all of you who gave me feedback about how to view the chemo this time. Last time I just felt so toxic, and this time my mind was in a much more neutral place so I could accept and function. I still feel like this is the "elephant" day.... Back up to (UGH) 142 lbs.... and feeling very FULL. But this too shall pass....
I had an unusual experience today that taught me a lot and I want to share it with you all. The chemo room was very packed today, and I sat near two lovely and spirit filled ladies. There was not alot of talk, but some nice companionship. One of the ladies asked me about yoga, so I told her about the positive benefits of breath and connecting to God with your breath, and that yoga was about a lot more than doing postures etc. Then I said that chanting and the practice of mantra was very helpful for me to lift my spirits and stay positive. At that point the other lady began say how breathing was good and stuff but you have to beware of yoga because chanting calls demons to you. Yoga is a Hindu religion... WELL... My heart began to beat fast, I looked at her and said: "Please say you are not telling me I am calling demons to me. Can you even see me?" Of course that is not what she meant, but I felt such a sense of violence and hurt. I plugged in my ear pods and listened to Japji to settle myself and heal the jarring energy. Wow. So here is what I got from that experience. Ignorance is bliss. She was in a state of sharing something she heard and felt to be true.... Ignorance is painful for the conscious......In my reality, the words were so violent and unfair. Demons! I pray to God, I sing to God , I trust in God. The other day I did a round of Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me. WOW. So, the moral of the story is this..... Your tongue is the most powerful organ in your body. Use it with GRACE and the understanding that you can uplift and heal with your word. SAT NAM.
I pray I will remember this.
Blessings and love to all, Dyal Kaur (Martha)

Martha,
I have been praying for you ever since I heard about your journey. You have been so positive which is wonderful. You are just gliding right through this challenge. I will continue to pray for you everyday until you have completed your sojourn and then some. You are a very special person as it seems you are loved by many. Please take care of yourself and I hope to see you soon.
Love,
Cindy Jewitt
My Dear Martha,
You are always on my mind, in my thoughts and in my prayers. You have always been a tremendous source of strength to me through my personal trials and tribulations, I only wish there were more I could do for you. I love you dearly and cry in horror that you of all people must be put through this. You are "Every Woman and a Bucket of Chicken" my girl. God Bless you. Peace and much love. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you or Steve, PLEASE do not hesitate to call me. Big Hug.
Love,
Robin
Forgive them lord, for they know not what they do (say)....
Good for you for handling it with such grace, yourself. You're coming through this with the full force of divine love behind you.
I wish I could see you. I've had the flu for a week, and the kids had a cold last week. I don't want to give those things to you! As soon as everyone is symptom free, I am hoping I can stop by and give you a hug :)
Love,
~Jen

It is so interesting that you had that experience because the spoken word is so very strong...the kids at camp learn that oh too young! Words stick and our strenght and faith can definitely cleanse us of the words that violate us or rather the ones we allow to violate us. YOU ARE Such a great inspiration as always and forever we love you and STeve and Delilah! Jan and Calvin
Hi Martha,
Planning on being at the healing ring on Saturday. I just wanted to respond to your recent experience. Ignorance is dangerous, but it does provide for opportunity to practice empowering response as you did, and to recognize the potency of all of our words. I once again have been reinforced by your sharing. With much love and gratitude, Lisa
