I'm going to start with Tuesday Soup. Years ago my sisters and I came up with Tuesday Soup. We would get together and have soup on Tuesdays. I'm not sure how or why we picked Tuesdays, but to this day, when I think of menus I think Tuesday Soup. I would make a huge pot of soup, invite some friends, chat and eat soup. I could share and let go for a few minutes. I could let my fellow sisters help to carry my burdens. When I moved to Anchorage, I reconnected with friends and Tuesday Soup. The thing about this huge pot of soup is that it would last until dinner and thus I had the afternoon to unload my challenging times.
After my diagnosis, when I couldn't get out of the house, I put all of my effort into "Cupcake Tuesdays". I've shared that there were more than a few Tuesdays, when my little family would have cupcakes for dinner. The tradition still continues as far as Cupcakes for dinner. Cupcake Tuesday/ Tuesday Soup, for me it's been about sharing my beaten path with those I love and letting go to let God move in my life. I've decided I will continue Tuesday Soup this winter. Won't you join me?
Love you, love me, love you, love me.

8.6.15 Over Extending
I have learned, or am learning this day, about over-extending myself. Hi, my name is Rhonda, I have issues saying "no".
For those who know me really well, already know this. They also know that I love children. I love surrounding myself with kids, my kids, my nieces and nephews, neighborhood kids, kids on TV. Children bring life, joy and a new perspective to issues, and challenges to life. A perspective, a light and energy I am strengthened by when I see things their way. When I am with kids, I like to ask questions and see how they SEE things. There are times when I overwhelm myself with this strength though. I say "yes" to every neighborhood kid, to every kid I come across, then I have no strength to my mission field. My first mission field. My family.
I have to remember that when we put what God has called us to do, FIRST, everything else will fall into place. We will gain strength, a new perspective, a LIGHT and an ENERGY, to complete or not complete what we want.
Okay, I am sure there is more on this, but I know I will have other days and new challenges!
A treatment update. My CT came back clear. NED. No Evidence of Disease. THANK YOU LORD!
