Weekly Round-Up: The Easter Edition
Time for this week’s round-up of the best of the blog posts which I’ve read over the past week. These are the posts that have moved me, taught me something, inspired me, and which I’ve wanted to share with you.

I loved all these posts Marie. I feel so isolated these days going on two months all I do is write and read and work on the house. There’s so much room to think -almost too much. But reading about my friends and knowing all of them are out there helps tremendously.
Much love,
Ilene
PS my last post is called community born of solitude -and it’s real underlying message is about pulling together instead of apart during these times -https://cancerbus.com/2020/04/10/community-born-of-solitude/

Thanks so much for always sending these out. Here’s another to add from Michele at acrackinthewall.
“I’m okay with being someone who has strayed from the best of herself. Who has been lost at times. I haven’t floated through cancering like Cinderella…I keep looking deep within for the person I know as me, again and again.”
