Dear Life, There are times when I am in challenging circumstances and ask myself, “How are you going to be in this?” I call this “When the rubber meets the road.” Can I walk my talk, be patient and kind and loving? Today I march forward with all of you in love and trust.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, I received a gift box from Arlene containing a Full Moon card, a small plate and the Sister Journal she wrote in every day while I went through chemo treatments last year. I wrote a journal too and now am reading both journals along with the book, American Baby. My life is full with love, creativity and reading.

This was written upon waking:
Raise my eyes up and look towards the horizon. See the sunshine. Watch the light change. Marvel at the beauty and splendor of a new day, seen for the first time, in a new way. Awesome lives here, within me, in every breath rising up in my lungs, exhaling out into a new world, inhaling another day to be lived in a new way. Always changing. Always inviting me. Always opening the door and welcoming me inside. Thank you.
Dear Life, A dose of chemicals and a PET scan threw my system into disorder. The cure and prevention of cancer is rigorous, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I cried afterward. I value my life and body so I do what has to be done. Thank you for all the messages of love. I feel them and they matter. You matter. Life matters.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, I have a Petscan at 8:30-10:30am. I call this “tubing it” for 30 minutes after sitting in a dark room for 45 minutes receiving a chemical infusion for the scan. This is routine, post-cancer. Hope to have results on Thursday. Always a little nervous. Please send me positive thoughts. I appreciate your support.

Dear Life, I received an email on Saturday from my former husband acknowledging the “many glorious years” we shared. I’ve said about marriage and divorce that we had a good marriage until we didn’t. Then we moved on. The end was messy. Change usually is messy as emotions get a chiropractic adjustment into a new life. I learned to make it through the mess.

Dear Life, Two years ago, Anne Lamott met her husband through OUR TIME, the online dating service for the mature audience. I was so inspired, I wrote a personal profile, added recent pictures, and jumped on the site fully expecting to meet mine. I am laughing while writing to you from my loft, living alone, and wondering, how does that work?!? and during COVID?!? Feeling like a teenager with Spring Fever.
Yours Truly, Pamela
Dear Life, This morning’s dream: I was with my former husband. He was getting ready to leave for work in another country and I was staying in our beautiful home. Woke with the memories of living in a marriage that had died long before the divorce. As hard as it was to get divorced, it was necessary in order to live a new life with promise. I believe in living a life of love. Love Life, Live Life, Today.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
