Dear Educators...Are You Heart Ready with love?

Dear Educators,
The end of summer break is in sight
As classrooms are lovingly decorated
Bulletin boards colorful and bright
Desks are assigned and lessons created

The halls are waxed in anticipation
Supplies stocked and sorted with care
Most purchased by the teacher w/o reservation
While smells of pencils and glue fill the air

Teachers, staff, and administration
Everything is ready to go it would appear
You just have to answer one question
As you prepare for the the upcoming year

Is your HEART READY with love


Entertain new ideas and perspectives with love

To all the educators around the world,
May the lessons this year be stuck like glue and forever last
May the pencils, motivation, and joy never grow dull
May the supply of patience be never ending and steadfast
May the walls of your classroom be a haven for all

May you be Heart Ready with love!

Eviction Notice: Buella (Cancer), You Have Been Served!

Dear Buella, This is your notice that you are being permanently evicted from the premises, also known as my body, effective July 1. You have exceeded the number of recommended days to be in residence by more than 30 days; therefore, you will forcibly be removed so you can no longer wreak havoc upon the landscape of our lives. - Management / Allie Dear Family and Friends, On July 1st, I will have a double mastectomy and begin reconstructive surgery. Buella, the name I gave my tumor, has been served her eviction notice after 70+ days since detection, and we are grateful to have a date scheduled.  However, I do keep trying to convince Gavin that traveling to the Amalfi Coast for pasta and coffee would do wonders for healing cancer instead. If you have a study that supports my hypothesis, please share it with me, as I have read at least 50 research articles and a few books about cancer in the past month and have yet to find a correlation or causation study about the benefits of authent...

God Winks: Finding Buella (Cancer)

2025 has been a transformative year for our family, marked by health challenges, faith, and divine moments I call "God winks"—those undeniable signs of God's love, plan, and provision. These moments, woven together, led to the discovery of "Buella," a breast cancer diagnosis that could have gone unnoticed without God's guidance. Here's our story —a testament to His presence, even in the unseen parts of our lives.    In October, Gavin moved back to Alaska as he was asked to take Command,  and Lilyan and I stayed to complete the school year. We are used to separations with the military, but we both dislike this part of the life we have embraced for over 20 years. However, praise God for technology as we were able to Facetime and connect every night. Due to the time difference, he would call as he was heading home for the night and I was getting ready to go to sleep. It was manageable, even if it was challenging to be apart. In December, I lost a friend and...

Spoiler Alert: I Have Breast Cancer

I never thought this would be my view one day. No one ever really considers it when they are healthy, eat well, exercise, and avoid most things that do damage to the beautiful temple God created in the human body. However, this powerful perspective became my reality today, as I met with a medical oncologist, a surgical oncologist, and a radiology oncologist for a recent diagnosis of breast cancer.   I realize this is probably a shock to many of you, as it was to our family; however, there are so many God winks in this story that I do not feel I can keep it to myself. God has a way of turning the most seemingly awful things into a beautiful blessing, and I have already witnessed His abundant love in the past month of medical screenings, testing, and waiting. I am not clear on what the future holds, but this year, I had already decided to let go and let God, and I am experiencing the goodness, grace, and peace that comes from truly honoring that commitment.  I plan to wri...
