Navigating our way through natural healing

Celebrating Life, Love, and Healing

Five months ago, our world got turned upside down again when we received the official news of Todd’s cancer re-diagnosis. Even though we suspected, it was still a moment that felt surreal, almost like a bad dream we couldn’t wake up from. But as the dust settled, we found ourselves facing a choice – one that would shape our journey from that point forward.

Choosing to start and then stop immunotherapy for the second time just felt like déjà vu even more! However, Todd was the sickest he’s ever been and the choice was easy in the moment and hard afterwards. Within that struggle came the wake-up call we desperately needed. We realized we had drifted from our holistic path, allowing life’s freedom to loosen our grip on what truly matters. That reminded us of the incredible power our bodies hold to heal themselves. It reaffirmed our belief in the strength we possess and the importance of being grateful for every single moment.

For the past couple of months, there hasn’t been much to report, which is honestly a good thing. Todd has been maintaining his Fenbendazole protocol and supplements, marijuana, staying consistent with daily vibration board sessions, lymphatic massages, plasma machine treatments, and brain tap therapy. But most importantly, he’s been focusing on rest, relaxation, and simply feeling good.

Physically, Todd looks and feels good. His lymph nodes have remained stable—though a little larger than normal, they’re not causing any issues. We’re taking that as a win, choosing not to put our attention on why they haven’t shrunk more, but instead celebrating the stability and overall progress.

Some days are slow and easy, where the flow is on resting and letting the body heal. Other days, you might find him in the midst of a spontaneous dance party or an intense workout session where one turns into the other. The key has been allowing Todd to heal in his own way, following his intuition and embracing what feels good in the present moment.

And as Todd listens to his body, I’m finding that I’m finally allowing myself to do the same. We’re both remembering that the present is all we really have. There’s no point in dwelling on past choices or fearing what the future might bring. Instead, all we can do is make better, more aligned choices in the present to build for our tomorrow. Our mission now is to truly enjoy life, with a renewed focus on our health. While hoping to inspire others to do the same. Because, without health, what do you really have?

By focusing on the abundance of life, it’s all coming back together for us. We’re more committed than ever to living with intention, gratitude, and a deep appreciation for the life we have. Every day is a gift, and we’re determined to make the most of it.

September holds even more to be grateful for as we get to celebrate Todd’s 42nd birthday and his beautiful being of existence in this world. At the end of the month, we also celebrate our 25th dating anniversary—a quarter-century of love, growth, and shared dreams. I’m so grateful for him and the incredible life we’re creating together.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support means the world to us.
