So I am feeling good. This is quite a big achievement considering that I am on chemotheraphy with Paclitaxel and Cisplatin while simultaneously injecting Phesgo and Zoladex and I believe that the change of treatment and consequently of my mood contributes to this state of well being.

Finally exposing my latest drawing and also making a video talking about it
I began metronomic chemotheraphy instead of the classic one (MTD- maximum tolerated dose every 20 days, a method which, in my opinion, is outdated) which means that I will get weekly smaller doses instead of the whole (junk) thing at once, one time per month.
I started to feel a surge of creativity and to put it to good use. I finished some of my drawings and starting new ones. I am writing more often on my personal website in order to attract more like minded readers and to grow as an artist and a writer. I make plans for my future and I want to share some of my creations with you. I could, of course, make separate posts for each of them but I prefer to do it in this post alone. A change once in a while is always good. I am recording vlogs with what happens in my life but they are less often as I don't have the intention of making my diagnosis the superstar of my life. I am beyond it.
So I wanted to do pyrography again and I have found the opportunity to gift one acquaintance such a personalized item. I realized last year that calling someone a friend is a long shot. I believe that calling someone a friend should not be used lightly and now I can see clearer who was and is my friend and who is a mere acquaintance who pops in and out of my reality. I have chosen to write this sentence on the wood because of a link to a video that she has sent in which the guy was a christian motivational speaker who said this: in any challenge that you face think about the fact that God uses this opportunity to expand you into a bigger vessel so you could receive more of what He has for you. At that time this resonated a lot with me as I was in the old town , barely walking and using my hand. So I gifted to her what her link gifted to me: hope.





I also documented this on my channel
I finished a work I started back in 2025 titled The cosmic peace lily, before my life would take a different course because of the diagnosis. I felt liberated and happy to be able to finish it and I am pondering the idea to order, for the first time since I started to paint, some high quality prints for my art to offer them as gifts for the few people that reached out to help me in this moment of my life. It would be a first as I never printed my work. I have found a place where they can print the image on Hahnemühle paper , which is a superiour quality cotton paper.





I also forgot to post some handmade earrings I have created from Fimo paste for my sister and niece way back in october when my hand managed to get better before it got worse.




The more I allow myself to create the better I feel and am. We are destined to be creators in this life and it takes a great amount of awareness to step out of the hamster wheel and pause and analyse the way in which we have led our life until now.

Greetings @creativemary ,
Lovely to hear from you.
Such a beautiful post....so very positive and full of your creativity. Enjoyed immensely hearing your creativity was able to come through and of your dependence on God and His plan for you. ^__^
Kind Regards, Bleujay
Hello! Thank you so much! My faith in the Lord is strong, I know that He is with me on this journey and my strenght comes only from Him, I am so blessed because I realize that a lot of miracles happened to me since I got diagnosed and only through the divine we can access the infinite reservoir of power. Amen!
Thank you very much!
It's lovely to see your beautiful smile again and to hear that your creative health is doing so well. I'm sure that will help to improve your physical health as well! Stay positive and strong 💪❤️
Hello lovely! Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate at a different level to be anatomically functional lol. So I just power through and remember that God is with me and I am blessed to be so creative and talented. Hugs!
New Year, but same old vision! Thank you for choosing to either use the #thoughtfuldailypost TAG, or post in our community! Keep on being thoughtful!
Thank you:)!
I loved the phrase about becoming a great vessel to receive what we deserve. We should be aware of this from childhood and not wait for turning points.
I loved your works, including the earrings.
Thank you very much! The vessel part inspired me as well. At a certain point I was laughing as I was thinking that I might as well wear a popcorn suit as I feel extra extra expanded lately with plenty of challenges:))) But God knows what He is doing so I might as well enjoy and spread some butter on the vessel to allow even more expansion:))
Sending you warm !HUG and hoping you get back on your feet again soonest.
Thank you! I am back on my feet as I write this and I am grateful for it:)

That's the spirit, I can understand your journey and having positivity and optimism helps us heal in mind as well as body. I was a Nurse by profession and I lost my best friend to cancer in the fall of 2023. 🙏

Yes the state of mind is everything! I am sorry for your loss, I am sure that it wasn't an easy process for you. I trust that God has a master plan for each of us and there is always a greater meaning behind every challenge.
It's wonderful to see you smiling and creative, my dear <3 So good, and so happy for you. Good for the world, as well, you are such a gifted artist. Those paintings are gorgeous. It'd be a shame not to be completed (or shown to the world). Hugs.
Thank you so much, I finally feel that my brain got out from the old framework in which I was having multiple battles at once and now I can finally just get back to being creative. It is healing me bit by bit.
I love your light! Your use of colours makes me so happy! Looking forward to enjoying more of your art!
Thank you!
You are so beautiful, Mary, and I hope your treatment goes well and that you will soon be fully recovered. Those earrings are so lovely, and I am so happy to hear that you were able to finish “The cosmic peace lily” ✨
Your message at the end of this post fills my heart: “The more I allow myself to create, the better I feel and am”

Thank you very much for your lovely words!I definetely enjoyed making the jewelry as it feels good to be able to give a gift to a loved one. I believe in the power of prayer so thank you very very much:)
