Dear Life, Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, heart-filled with love holiday! 72 degrees and sunny in Indio. A new kind of Christmas for me. I’m loving it! Santa and his elves plowed into this cactus on their way north and they lost their hats! hoHoHO!

Dear Life, I am up early to pack Blue Angel. I was raised Catholic and the story of the Three Kings following the night star across the desert comes to mind. My road trip takes me across the mountains and high deserts of NM, AZ and CA. I feel freedom, gratitude, peace, and a powerful Life Force. My thoughts goes out to family and friends across the miles. The Spirit of love is with me and you. The license plate holder that came with the car says:
FEEL THE LOVE!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, Today I’ll have the last doctor’s appointment of 2022, my yearly examination with the wonderful Terri Selvage, who has kept my parts together for years. Then I prepare for a Road Trip to Indio, CA where I’ll visit close friends for the holidays. This is a very different climate for me to be in (CA desert) for Christmas. I have always been home with family in CT or with friends in Santa Fe. But this year, something new is on the horizon.
Let the road emerge and the temperature rise into the 70’s! Yay!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, My oven is popping out muffins and my friends are happy recipients of the yummy goodness. I’ve also been making Challah Bread French Toast for brunches. I love sitting with my friends around the the kitchen table, eating, and visiting. Life is here today. Share your muffins and love!

Dear Life, Yesterday I had final PETscan/CT Scan for 2022. I decided to wait to read the results until I see my oncologist on Jan 4th. He wished me a happy holidays and said, “leave all worries with me”. I am doing that and enjoying my life. Decided to bake muffins for friends during this deep freeze. Warm kitchen, happy heart, jolly bones, yummy muffins!

Dear Life, Today is my last treatment of the first year of Cancer Clinical Trail.
One more year to go. I am grateful for this miracle.

Dear Life, My life was upended four years ago with health issues. In 2018, I was in the hospital 11.26 – 12.6 and had a near-death experience; leaving my body and then being breathed back. A blissful and painful day. Surgeries followed to eliminate fluids in my lungs. The beginning of a current journey. Bloodwork today. Treatment tomorrow. What is it that holds us here to this planet? A tenuous and powerful Life Force. A Mystery.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, No matter what else you’re doing today, stop and have a Hot Cocoa. Violet and Max, I love and miss you, my sweet, great-grand niece and nephew. And get lots of whipped cream! ‘Tis the Season!
Yours Truly, Aunt Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 12.10.2022 Vision Board 2022

Dear Life, I completed my 2022 Vision Board a few days ago. It was started earlier this year on a large piece of foam core attached to my studio wall. Everyday I looked at it. Everyday I felt the images in my heart. And in some way, each day a piece of my vision showed up in my life. That feels good. 2023 is coming and with it will be a new vision board. I share my 2022 dreams, desires, and visions with you today. May they find their way into my world a day at a time. ‘Tis the Season of Completions!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
