"All is burning. . .
The ear is burning, sounds are burning. . .
The nose is burning, odors are burning. . .The tongue is burning, flavors are burning. . .The body is burning, tangibles are burning. . .
The mind is burning, ideas are burning . . ."
β€” "The Fire Sermon, The Adittapariyaya Sutra"

πŸ’₯πŸ¦„πŸ˜€Never Give Up HopeπŸ’₯πŸ¦„πŸ˜€

dying of suffering. . . .
being told that if I stayed in Oklahoma. . .
having my life end quickly from stage four cancer . . .
finding a North Korean acupuncturist giving me free care. . . .

dying of depression . . .
moving to Texas for treatment.. . .
given stem cell bone marrow transplant..
finding much success and becoming cancer free. . . .

trying to survive. . .
rushing to the emergency room again. . .
being in extreme pain again and again and . . .
finding out that my cancer had returned again . . .

trying to survive . . .
returning to the same acupuncturist . . . .
moving back to Texas for CAR T-Cell treatment. . .
taking my T-Cells out and making them into ninja cells. . .

trying to survive. . .
living in the hospital again. . .
dressing as a ninja to fight like shinobi warrior. . .
hearing nursing laughing at my black warrior dress. . .

πŸ’₯πŸ¦„πŸ˜€πŸ₯πŸŽ‰πŸŒπŸ™‚πŸ¦„πŸ’₯πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸ˜€ repeating this mantra:

. . .Never Give Up . . . .
. . . . . .Never Give Up . . .. . .
. . . . . . . . . . Never Give Up . . .

dancing with joy. . .
having my oncologist doctor shake it. . . .
smiling with joy as he tells me that my cancer is gone. .

forever, forever, forever, . . . .
taking a ninja to fight the ninja cancer cells . . .

Thank you, so I am broke with some $4,000,000.00 in cancer bills, but I am alive. So I filed bankruptcy. I have you my readers. Love you all!
