Today was amazing. I am completely floored by everyone who made this great event happen. A big thank you to Melody for coming up with the idea and Andrea for hosting.
The fundraiser was like a surprise party of goodness. The auction items were incredible. Beautiful gift baskets, massages, in-class private yoga classes, hand made clothing, yoga bags and jewelry, acupuncture, wellness consultation, gift certificates for other avenues coop, Ergonomic assessments, birthing from within classes, and a family photography sessions. Pretty amazing talents were brought together for this very uplifting event!
The yoga class was sweet and filled with emotions. I am still in awe of the support I've had through these very trying times. When I want to give up, there has always been someone there to assist me. I know I would not be able to do this with out your help. Thank you to all that showed up and those who were there in spirit!
I swear I have the best friends in the world. What is healing me most is YOU!
Love,
Nicole

Off to Spring Training
Yesterday was an eventful day. I practiced with Siren for the 1st time in 15yrs, and we prepared for our trip to Arizona to watch the World Champion San Francisco Giants get ready to defend their title (it still sounds good to say that).
As you can all see from the attached photo's, Kaitlin is ready to swim, and Siren is right down to business. Funny how resilient kids are. She was so sick the past few days, and today it's like nothing happened.
I need to give a huge thanks to Melody & Andrea at Satori for coordinating the event on March 13th.

We have the best friends in the world
Mari Praus emailed me early this morning with this amazing list of items and services for Satori Yoga's Event on March 13th:
I will be donating my time as a massage therapist on the day of the Satori fundraiser, 30 min massages, all monies will go to Nicole. I will also be providing a "Hippocrates" gift basket: Pink Himalayan Bath Salts (pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness), a series of 5 1-hour massages, 15ml Lavender Essential Oil , Real Sea Bath Sponge $10, Bath Pillow, and a pre-bath Dry Brush (total value $500). This is based on Hippocrates prescription... "The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage everyday." I will donate two in honor of the two weeks she wants to be at Hippocrates.
Mari is literally a life long friend of Nicole, they lived a few blocks from each other in Stockton, CA. When Mari heard the news of Nicole's diagnosis she was here with in a few days to offer aroma therapy, massage, help with the house, and moral support! Mari is family to us, and although this generosity does not surprise me, it is greatly appreciated.

event at satori is in 3 weeks
So the gifts for the auction keep coming in. I just got a list from one of Nicole's oldest friends, Gypsy. This is quite amazing: 1. Relaxation/Tea gift basket with tea cup, teas, incense, candles, and such 2. Coffee basket with organic coffee, french press, maybe biscotti and reuseable coffee mug and reuseable cold cup/smoothie cup 3. Vintage kitchen basket with vintage kids cookbooks, recipe box, retro apron, dishtowels, tools and maybe I'll add a baking mix in a cool retro box or something 4. Reuseable insulated grocery tote with a $50 Trader Joe's gift card 5. Guatemalan-style hand bag/basket 6. "Wine" basket with wine or if that's not kosher- sparkling juice or something and cobalt blue wine goblets or maybe these cool handmade clay ones I found while thrifting with some chocolate snacks (let me know about the wine idea please) 7. Gluten-free baking basket with handthrown pottery mixing bowl and stuff to bake it up.
I am not joking, this is from one person! I am posting a photo of Nicole & Gypsy from 5th Grade (note they are wearing matching outfits), these two are connected like very few people I have ever met. They are like sisters. The first time I met Gypsy I was almost as nervous as when I met Nicole's Dad for the first time. They have lived together, shared great times and great tragedy. Thank you Gypsy!
