I'm back home. All's well.

Hey lovelies!
I'm back from a whole month in Uruguay for teacher certification for DanceAbility International and it was so great! Now I work on setting up lots of workshops and rehearsals/performances for dance improvisation for all people, regardless of their physical/mental abilities. It's work I really believe in and love to share with the world.

I have checkups next week but all seems to be quite well...just can't shake the extra weight!! Now that I'm back to my health food stores (no such thing in Montevideo) hopefully I can find a diet that works. Still waiting for my treatment center to get approved to be involved in the Neratinib trial I was approved for...until then I'm just eating well, dancing and loving life. Being back home with my family is great. Got to celebrate my 33rd birthday on 3/3. Blessed to be here.

Glad to be back in touch with you all too.
Love, Celeste

You don't know how happy I am for you (wearing big grin). This was your dream and you thought it was going to be impossible after your cancer diagnosis and treatment.

*Nothing* is impossible and the brave souls here are proving this day after day.

I like that birthday card that says something like: "Dance as though no one is watching."

So keep letting go and following those nice dreams.

a belated Happy Birthday to you. I am glad you had such a nice and fruitful trip. I am glad you are well enough to travel too !! That is a blessing.

Thanks for the kudos, ladies. I think I've always been the type to see challenges as a reason to prove I can overcome them! I'm a persistent little troublemaker. I never thought this was impossible. I am very pleased with the fact that other people believed in it too and helped me accomplish it.
Traveling went quite well, really. It was hard to be away from my very excellent Oregon health food stores, though. Uruguay seems to live on a lot of meat, cheese and sugar! I brought a compression sleeve with me for the countless hours of flying, but never had to use it. Blessings are overflowing. I try to share them with all of you as much as possible.

Celeste,

I love hearing about new adventures. You and my daughter are the same age. You go girl.
