Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

I am healing!

The first picture is from just more than a year ago. Below is from November, 2016..my hair continues to grow back, my strength to return, weight coming back on a little at a time, and my brain is beginning to function more smoothly. All it takes is...time, love, rest, walking, good nutrition and medicine.

Your love, prayers, and financial gifts help keep me going. I want to jump back into life and get plenty of income going, but I'm just not there yet, although I am working part-time from home. Most of my medical needs at this point are not covered by insurance, so your gifts are extremely precious.

During the less dramatic but equally essential part of healing, please

1) Send your prayers and loving thoughts, and see me healthy, happy, and well

2) Give financial gifts to help cover expenses

3) Share this message with friends, family, or colleagues who understand this journey and be able to help financially.

Thank you for all your love and support in every way. I would not be where I am today without you...

Love and Blessings,

Stede

Account Closed - Too Many People Denying Their Donations!

Beginning a New Year

Update posted by Stede Barber at 05:40 pm

After a recent Dr. appointment, on a day when there was snow up in the mountains, I decided to take myself up to the ski hill. I had lived near this mountain for about 9 years, and gone up almost every day after work to either cross-country ski, snowshoe, or. . . . .

The Relief of Healing

Update posted by Stede Barber at 10:04 pm

Every person I speak with about this healing and fundraising journey brings me fresh perspective. I've dealt with pride, and I have discovered deeper levels of knowing I am worthy of support.In this season of both joy and great sadness, I want things to be better, for people, the earth,. . . . .

The Long Road

Update posted by Martha Boston at 08:34 pm

Stede and I recently had an email conversation about the recovery process – and how after the drama of the early events has faded, it’s easy for those not intimately involved in the process to feel the relief of “Phew, that’s over!” But often, it’s not over at all. The. . . . .

The Power of Place

Update posted by Stede Barber at 02:18 am

As I prepare to move in 3 weeks, I am more aware than usual of the importance and power of place. I am currently living in the most beautiful and perfect-for-me place yet, housesitting for friends, in a home that is simple, spacious, and in a setting that inspires me. . . . .

A Magical Time

Update posted by Stede Barber at 02:28 am

What a magical time! I am painting a view from the kitchen window as a rainstorm moves through…the sound of gentle rain on the skylights, garden, and grasses…the beautiful smell of moisture in the air… I have had a great deal of time alone as I recover. Sometimes I feel. . . . .

Walking this path...

Update posted by Stede Barber at 06:28 pm

Just a note of thanks for all your love and support. The slow journey of recovery actually takes far longer than the treatment itself, and I am able to walk this path with all your generous support around me. Thank you, bless you, Stede

As I begin to feel better, my love for writing...and the energy to do it...begins to return.I love walking in the mountain meadows and forests that surround where I live in Northern New Mexico. It is cooler up there on a hot day, and the lush green of the meadows. . . . .
