I’m catching up on your blog! Ciana is very much a part of the GSA at school. She almost walked in the parade with her school but something came up…she went to SF pride instead. I think about how far the school has come is this realm and remember just a short time ago when we were talking about lgbtq+ not being acknowledged at the school and I think about progress and outness and love 🥰

“Two things can be true at the same time.” How beautifully you’ve expressed that. From the suffering from treatment effects and losing a trusted oncologist to all of the progress you’ve seen in the LBGTQ world. And, as always, your appreciation of the good things in your life. ♥️

I love your neon moments Maija! Love your zany zinnia, your expressive, painted flowers, and rainbow overalls. And I smiled right along with those colorful corgis! These all remind me of noticing the moments in my daily life and taking nothing for granted...but to revel in astonishment. Just finished season three of The Bear. Every Second Counts now brings new meaning to my life. Every moment counts. And your writings are a shining moment in my life. I look forward to them and revel in them.

Keep on noticing, creating and writing.

You are love, lover and beloved.

Sending love and hope as you look for a new oncologist.

All the things! Neon signs. Celebration of life (I am stealing this idea for sure). Pride corgis! Painted flowers. Breakthrough, trailblazing musicians making way for new (super talented) artists. Thinking of you, especially as you find a new doctor.

The time is right now. Emphasis on right. ❤️

Your words are such a gift. Thank you. I recently became a fan of TV show The Bear and the thread Every Second Counts hit hard with me. Manifesting the most incredible oncologist and no need for oncology. Love u!
