Love Letter to Life 03.16.2025 Bramble

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Brain woke pre-dawn and rolled into a bramble of thoughts. You know what I’m talking about. The existential questions of life and death along side what to eat for breakfast, all of same import. My body has the sense to interrupt the noise by breathing, getting up, turning on the light, reading a spiritual passage, writing a meditation. Focus my thoughts. Definition of bramble: any of a genus of usually prickly shrubs of the rose family, i.e. of the Pamela Rose variety!

Love Letter to Life 03.13.2025 Good Report

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, My oncologist warned me that he didn’t think the PetScan report would be good. The radiologist had not called. I waited 10 minutes that felt like an eternity while the doctor spoke to radiology. “Your PetScan report is good. I am surprised.” Tears brimmed my eyes in joy. I’ve had no chemo drugs for 8 months. This is unusual for a Diffused Large B-Cell Lymphoma patient. Treatment started in 2020 and has been non-stop until August 2024. I knew my body needed time to heal in order to continue treatments so I asked for a break from “heavy toxins” having had Stem Cell replacement, clinical trials, chemo, immunotherapy and more. My body is regenerating and renewing. Consensus is: “It is shocking”. I think it is another miracle! Grateful and in joy.

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I had mild cold symptoms on Sunday so I took a Covid test Monday: positive. Whah! I have slept a lot. Woke feeling better today. Need to rest and quarantine a few days then wear a mask for another five days. I can work at home. Monday is bloodwork and PetScan. Be ready to tube it!

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Meet White Angel, my new wheels, 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Sport. This pearl white driving machine is very visible. It has the power to take me on local mountain roads, urban highways, and around the country. Planning a summer Road Trip. Happy to feel free and healthy enough to spread my wings.

Love Letter to Life 02.25.2025 Spring Energy

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Temperatures in Santa Fe are in the 60’s so the trees are budding. Plants are growing and snowcaps are melting. This is early. The Spring energy is running through me; can be seen in my drawings and paintings. I am deeply connected to the rhythms of nature. And I pay attention to the flow of energy within me and around me. Yesterday I hit a log jam while trying to purchase a car. Let’s hope a better experience with a different dealership happens today. Go with the flow and car angels.

Love Letter to Life 02.23.25 Destiny Calls

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, A flurry of activity in the studio has produced new work including beautiful, rich, walnut ink drawings. I love eating walnuts and also painting with them. My health is stable and my energy is good. Interior life activates my painting and my exterior way of living. Changes are happening. More to come on the happy road of destiny.

Love Letter to Life 02.16.2025 Radiate

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Most days, I draw a graphite Energy Portrait. I think of them as gentle x-rays. My body has had a minimum of 4 Pet Scans a year and multiple x-rays amounting to 50 plus radiation images over the past 6 years to detect/tract cancer cells. With all the radiation and chemotherapy I’ve had, I light up in the dark. My next Pet Scan is March 10th. I live between scans with the freedom of choosing my attitude. Family, friends and community provide love and support. Creativity helps me stay grounded.
I thank everyone and my Spirit.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 02.13.2025 Gift to Self

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I am excited to work with my new Japanese watercolors and brushes. I made a color chart on Yupo paper and in book. Materials inspire me. They help to create new experiences in my art. I recommend getting a creative gift for your heart. Could be something small however charged with big energy. This beautiful set of watercolors is my Valentine gift to “self” charged with love and possibilities.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
