This morning was a struggle.
I am trying my damnedest to get this to happen:

I struggle because I want it to be successful
The team I am working with has been UNBELIEVABLY supportive… but it is so hard to get buy in from other folks.
I struggle with that.
But it, my sense of struggling, may have been that I had an unscheduled visit to my oncologist today.
Bleeding.
So I went in and saw my doctors nurse practitioner. Who performed a biopsy.
I have had biopsies before, in that area… it hurt like a motherf*&%#r.
Even though she told me that it was my job to assume it was due to scar tissue, she also told me it was her job to rule out recurrence. She reassured me that it looked like granulation (BTW – don’t Google it).
What makes this situation even crazier is that the woman who did my biopsy is also a woman who will be on the panel for the movie screening.
Following up on the fact that I am helping to host a conversation about a preventable cancer
and that one of the panelists will have seen my girly-bits, I just got word who a second panelist will be and…. guess what??????
She has seen my girly bits too.
She was there when my son was born, as in the room… standing right between my husband and my mother.
So, I am trying to find the beauty of all of this. So, “this” being a weird place in my life (waiting for biopsy results) the week before I am helping host an event. The event which happens to be about something that most likely got me into the biopsy situation in the first place.
Anyway, the big shift for me has been to try and be kinder, gentler, more gracious… and yet stay my own person. Hard to do when you are in pain.
