my healing path, and helping...

   This has been an extraordinary year - a year of pain, strenuous challenges, brilliant discoveries and an outpouring of love.  I’ve found out firsthand just how true it is that in every seed, in every cell, in every moment, there is the potential for both heartbreak and joy, pain and laughter.   My work-play throughout has been, and continues to be, to see, to focus on, and to live the joy, laughter and love.  The more I do that, the more those grow and blossom in my life, the more they are my life.

    Financial assistance continues to be a necessity.   A couple of fundraisers were held earlier in the fall, for which I am very grateful.  The love quotient was definitely met, but not the financial goal hoped for.  Aside from my health care needs, I’m ready to move into a place more fitting for me.  It will be a healthy move, a move to heal.   I need a place where I can once again paint, and a place inside a community meaningful to me.   I’m looking into all sorts of different ways and places to live.

     I  have artwork to sell (visit Shuster Studio site)  and welcome commissions (visit Portraits by Shuster page).   Please share these pages with people you know who might be interested.  If you are able, cash/check donations are most welcome.   Other forms of support are suggested on this page of my blog:  support my healing journey.  Your contributions build a fund to help support me as I heal, and, further, thrive!   It will go towards health care expenses and living dreams....  a great healer and artist in South Africa told someone I know:  “Cancer hates ecstasy.”  I believe it.  

    Your gifts and generosity are deeply appreciated.  This kind of support, along with all the other fine support I’ve received during the last 16 months, is truly heartwarming and nourishing, and an essential part of my healing.   

    Thank you very much, dear friends.   May your new year be filled with joy and love.

with much love,
Wendy
