Healing Bracelets!  Many of you are wondering how much longer will you be wearing or carrying your bracelet with you.  Michellie will have her next set of tests in late May.  At this time they will also remove her Port-A-Cath.  We would love for you to take these next few weeks to reflect on what the bracelet has meant to you, and how it might have changed the way you approached your days or your choices as you were keeping Michellie in your thoughts.  If you would like to share these ideas, we would love to add these to our memories of this time.  When the Port-A-Cath has been removed, we will have a special celebration day for all of us to share removing the bracelet and passing the power of healing forward.  We will keep you posted about this in the next few weeks.  Thank you for continuing to keep Michellie in your thoughts as she approaches this very important milestone in her recovery. 

David and I have been wearing two bracelets, the result of an email we received through a friend of someone who saw Michellie's journey in color. Michellie made us a second bracelet in orange, brown and yellow to signify strength and to reflect the image of the letter.  Here is the letter we received as inspiration.  We hope that the writer does not mind the sharing as we hope to pass color on to someone else's life with this telling:

Melody,
When you were doing your reading today, as well as bringing tears to my eyes, you brought an overwhelming feeling of brightness.  As I mentioned, sunflowers and the warmest, happiest, brightest yellow flooded my head.  I went online to see what either represents and this is what I found:

Sunflowers: To see a sunflower in your dream, symbolizes warmth, abundance, longevity, and prosperity. The sunflower also serves to point you in the right direction and is a source of spiritual guidance. Even through difficult times, you will persevere.

Yellow:  Yellow is a happy and encouraging colour. Yellow is the colour of intuition, premonition, and perceptions. A warm yellow is the colour of the radiant energy of the sun; it is a symbol of optimism, joy and spirit.
If the dream is a pleasant one (and it was beautiful), then the color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom.

I was most pleased when I read this as this is completely what I felt.  I know your friend's journey isn't going to be an easy one, but let her know that she is already abundant with all of those qualities mentioned above.  May the sunflower be her guide.

Much love,
