I have had a blessed week and it is only Wednesday. Monday I woke early and headed over to Riverside to meet with my neuro-surgeon Dr, Ron Budzik. We met five years ago when I had discovered I had a couple of aneurysms on my "Circle of Willis" in my humble brain. The old fashioned lift off approach was never an option for me due to numerous obstacles and my Lupus. After prayer and deep consideration he performed his "funky stint" ( this is his description) and when he went in he discovered I had three aneurysms now. For the last five years I have returned for angiograms to document his procedure and first application of his designs. Words do not express how this humble man gave me another chapter in my life and I will try to live each day to the fullest....I have been blessed by healing hands and God's plan for my journey here.
I went to work at Dawes today and worked in a much slower pace..but I was able to work. I ironed and trimmed four or more yards of a beautiful, hopeful green color. I painted with Jacquard luminere metallic onto my Spring trees coming to life in Spring 2012. By three o clock I was tired so I headed to the downtown studio to prepare for tonight's pink monkey stencils ....just a joyful experience inspired by the little girls who did the monkey dance last week. This was their own special choreography and just use your imagination. Nicholas and Collin wrote and performed their own play with music and videography. Tonight has been a blessed day. I am tired so I need to get to bed. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
