Early Morning

It’s Not About the Hair by Debra Jarvis.

It’s still early here in Orlando before the fray. Shari is here to guide me around the day or part of the day. We actually fly out this afternoon and get back to our own lives.
We are pretty much meeting and greeting this whole morning and then we have the showing just after lunch.

Beside all this I wanted to take the time to give a book report on a book that I finished on the plane yesterday. I had all day to sit and the book was perfect to keep me occupied. This is It’s Not About the Hair And Other Certainties About Life & Cancer by Debra Jarvis. Debra had come last week to walk Phil’s Camino along with three other ladies associated with oncology in Seattle. Debra was a chaplain for years at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

It was a very engaging account of happenings with cancer patients in her work as an outpatient chaplain. Then the kicker is she developed a case of breast cancer and lived through the process herself from the other side. It is all very personal and funny, serious and universal at the same time. I am so glad that this came into my life at this moment. It is a spark, an inspiration. Thanks Debra for all your work on this.

Well, time to jump up and make sense of my gear and get out to search for some coffee. It looks like another beautiful day here in Orlando. I’m keeping the heat and humidity behind glass myself as I flit from one venue to the next. OK, break a leg Felipé!

See you later alligator loves, Felipé.

  1. Love waking up this morning to your musings. Phew, what a whirlwind! 5:30 here on the isle. Birds woke me up at 4:00 and I couldn’t sleep, so having coffee and glad you’re here keeping me company.

    Hope your time there is inspired and inspiring. See you back on the ranch. Xo

    1. Dana ~ back at the ranch and even more back at the red leather couch. Totally spaced out after the flights. Had a good time and the talk went great. See you soon, Felipé.x

  2. Phil,
    I’m glad you enjoyed my book and thank you for posting such a positive review on your blog. I just love reading it. I’m so looking forward to getting to know you better AND to walking the Camino this fall. I pray for you all!

    Love and hugs to you, Debra

    1. Debra ~ you dear are the proverbial breath of fresh air. So, glad that you came over with the Fearsome Foursome. Trudy has all these plans for trips over here so hitch another ride with her and come again. There is no limit on visits. We are having a big open house out here August 23-26 in case you need to escape the city then. Hello and bring Wes. Thank you for the prayers, Felipé.x. PS- have Martha Stewart story for you.
