1/ A month ago, I was in a hospital bed after colon cancer surgery, unsure of what recovery would look like. Healing has been slow —some days hopeful, some tough—but the kindness people have shown has carried me. #fuckcancer #photographersofbluesky #gofundme

A trip down memory lane from the lushness of this past summer (Little Fall Branch Creek Falls). I hope you enjoy "Practice even what seems impossible". Marcus Aurelius #photographersofbluesky #mentalhealth #fuckcancer

Getting back to one of my passions. It feels great to reconnect with nature as the healing continues. #fuckcancer #healing #mentalhealth

Continuation of memories from this past summer. "Your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought, for the human spirit is colored by such impressions". Marcus Aurelius #photopgraphersunited #photographersofbluesky #waterfalls #menatlhealth #fuckcancer

Another fav from this past summer. "You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength". Marcus Aurelius #Photographersunited #Photographersofbluesky #water

"The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing; it stands ready for what comes". Marcus Aurelius #photogrphersofbluesky #waterfalls #photographersunited

Since I am still in "recovery mode" from Colon Cancer surgery, I thought I would go through some of my favs from 2025 and share a little. I hope you enjoy and take a moment to spend time with those who matter. We never know how much time we have! Barrett Branch Falls, spring 2025 #waterfalls

For me any type of healing, not just in the physical body, is the need to connect with nature. Try it you won’t be disappointed! #healing #fuckcancer #photographersunited #blackandwhite

I’m in the process of redefining a new path…a new way forward….all positive. Change doesn’t have to be fearful. Enjoy your day!! #photographersofbluesky #fuckcan

I'm just enjoying a recent memory as I recover from surgery. I can feel the healing energy even though I am not there at the moment. I hope everyone is having a great day as I train myself to be still and heal. Not an easy task....lol #photographersofbluesky #fuckcancer

2 weeks and 1 day post Colon Cancer Surgery, and I'm itching to get out to the woods. BUT I am taking it slow. I'm just not used to all this inactivity, but if that is the worst of my worries, I'm doing pretty damn good, and I appreciate all the great vibes from everyone #fuckcancer

Feeling grateful and hopeful as I recover from my colon cancer surgery. 💙 It’s been a tough road, but every day brings more strength and gratitude.If you’d like to help or share my GoFundMe, your support means the world. 💫 www.gofundme.com/f/blast-bobs... #photogrphersofbluesly #photographersunited

The life you want is on the other side of the work you are avoiding. Today's focus. What are you doing? #fuckcancer #fuckcoloncancer #photographersofbluesky

Working on my daily self-care model. My commitment is to take time in nature or working on a horse up until the 19th to ensure I am in the best headspace possible before surgery on 10/20 "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength". Marcus Aurelius

A very nice article written about my Colon Cancer Journey tryonequinebodywork.com/local-legend...

1/ Warning: Incoming Rant I suppose I’m entitled to speak my mind, since this is my page. Apologies in advance because I have a few things to say about my recent Colon Cancer diagnosis, which I’m still trying to wrap my brain around, and of course, the Health “Care” system we have in this country.

Phew…still trying to wrap my brain around my recent dx. This Tuesday, I will have a C-Scan.I am more concerned about what won’t be covered via insurance. IF you can contribute OR share my GoFundMe page www.gofundme.com/f/blast-bobs...

Working on my grounding and serenity for my upcoming C-Scan this Tuesday 🍻#fuckcancer

I’m ready what about you??

Suffering and depression are optional. Reach out to someone or an organization. Exercise control!! “If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Fall is arriving in all its wonderful splendor. Also, a reminder for me to work on my internal housekeeping and enjoy the inward journey during the fall and winter months. "The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it". Marcus Aurelius #waterfalls #photographersofbluesky

To my family and Jewish friends #HappyNewYear #JewishNewYear

If you cry when an animal gets hurt in a movie, if you stop to help a wounded bird, if you take care of stray cats, then please don’t ever change. The world has enough cruel people & it needs more compassionate hearts like yours.

"Confine yourself to the present". Marcus Aurelius And you will find serenity!! #waterfalls #mentalhealth #photographersofbluesky

Some days, you just need power in your life to counter the ebb and flow of life's challenges. Today's meditation was to supply some extra power in my world. Enjoy! #mentalhealth #waterfalls

#HealingHearts Healing isn't a race. It takes however long it needs to, and at times things happen to open wounds we thought we'd dealt with "enough". Keep going in the direction that brings you peace and comfort, not fear. You'll get there. 💛💜💚 #CSASurvivor #CPTSD #Pinks #ProudBlue
