I had a wonderful summer, which in my part of the Pacific Northwest starts on July 5 and lasts about five weeks, so we make every summer day truly memorable, stretching the days into the long evenings.

As always, I've been working on myself this summer, and I'm now in the midst of another shift point that will take me through this week's Equinox into Autumn and beyond. The energies of Jupiter, now at its closest point to the Earth until 2022, have been strong for me: expansive, yet inwardly so (Jupiter is retrograde right now), and wonderfully charismatic in a way that invites seeking an infinite space within. I've been breathing with this since last week.

I'm on the road now, in Tucson for now where summer seems to extend into forever. I wanted to go where it was warm and I got what I was looking for (maybe even a little more than I expected): 100-degree days that turn into brilliant sunsets that invite you to look at the changing displays in every direction; nights swimming in a warm pool under a star-filled sky. I'm not sure where my car will want to go next but I'm open to what comes — as long as I have wifi and my headset I can work from anywhere. (Maybe even your town — if you're interested in creating a group channeling event, let me know.)

August was a busy inner month for me healthwise as well. It came to me that I hadn't fully explored all that the cancer fairy had been showing me, so I opened to what came next. In early August, I did a lot of self muscle-testing of every food I could think of to find out what my body wanted (and didn't want). The list I ended up with was quite short but not really a surprise; should I really be surprised that my body wants fresh, high-quality high-nutrition foods? (I'll write again soon about the specifics of my personal anti-cancer diet). In addition to my regular tai chi practice, I did an intense 5Rhythms Heartbeat workshop with Jonathan Horan that was amazing and came right at the heels of a healing with an Ecuadorean shaman who happened to be in my city and who had a single opening for a session. Ah, Pachamama! As I danced that weekend I could feel my body filling with the warm embrace of the Mother. And then early this month I spent a joyful weekend in song with my singing sisters of the Threshold Choir, more than 60 women lifting hearts and spirits in song for three days on an island west of Seattle. Powerful stuff. When I got in my car a few days later to drive down through Idaho and Utah to Arizona, I knew that my body was cancer-free. I am done with cancer.

So, like always, I don't know what is around the corner, but isn't that the beauty of life? We never know what is coming. We can only breathe with the moment we are in. All I know is that I am grateful to be here in this beautiful body, on this beautiful planet, in this beautiful life.
