Good to hear you negotiated the time you need, Kate, and great you are enjoying it. What a beautiful talk from your mom - inspiring! And what a clear link in character between you both. Sending a hug xx

xx Thank you Carly. I listened to some Olodum in the car today - I miss dancing with everyone! A boogie in the lounge will have to do.

We miss dancing with you too, Kate! I hope you had that boogie and enjoyed it (I’m often dancing in my lounge; love to dance anywhere or listen to Batucada music even at home). Hope you are going well! xx

This is so amazing to be able to hear your mother talk about how she coped with living with cancer. Thanks for sharing, I found her words comforting and inspiring. And I love your perspective, good on you for doing things the way that suits you and your loved ones as much as possible.

Uplifting to see and hear your mama again. I love how she refuses to let cancer be the main part of her life, and plan A and plan B. I love how you refuse to let lymphoma be the main part of your life and to see you continuing to create and share your insights in life. Xxxxx

There's so much outside of cancer in the lessons of plan A and plan B, too! Lots of love xx
