December Daily : Day 17

Good thoughts and warm wishes to you. I'm loving your low-stress/no fuss approach this year. And I see your creativity has benefited. Thank you for sharing the inspiring handmade crafty goodness.
I've jumped on that band wagon this year and haven't enjoyed a holiday more. If it requires even a hint of panic or a sense of rush it just gets knocked off the list. No room for that funny business this year (or any other for that matter) I don't care how cheap the Barbie's are at Costco. HA! :-)
Focus on health and those moles will have no room to grow. So that's what I wish to you ... love, warmth, and a wealth of health! You're a beautiful woman and mother. No wee moles can get in the way of your mountain-size dedication and appreciate for what you've got in life and in your work.
Peace ... and health to you!

Hmmm, I'm not the praying type of girl, but you're definitely in my thoughts... somehow I do believe in good things, and that's why I believe you will be oké... you make a difference for so many people, and do them good, so to speak, that you'll deserve a lot of goodness back!

Hang in there and good luck with your health! Positive thoughts coming your way. Happy holidays!

I hate the waiting part of getting those test results back. It's good that you have things to keep you busy. You're in my thoughts. ~Elaine

You are in my thoughts and prayers Ali. HUGS

Prayers for you today Ali! Don't worry too much about the moles- once you have had one Melanoma, the doctors will remove every little freckle and spot they see. It is great that you and they are being proactive and getting them all taken off early.

Hey Ali - thinking of you - hope the moles are ok. I had my skin check last week and got the all clear. I am so amazed every time they say that, as I have so many freckles and moles over my body (all that Australian sunshine growing up!) But they keep saying they're the good moles, so fingers crossed they stay that way. Hope all goes well with you - and hope you and your family have a wonderful christmas!! xx

Don't worry Ali! I have had about 8 off since I was in my 20's. I am getting 2 more off on the 2nd of Jan as well - that are looking a bit weird - 1 on my face (my beauty spot) and one on my arm. We are all paranoid about it here in Australia let me tell ya! I am sure you will be fine.

Thinking of you and holding you in my heart.

Hi Ali, desde España, all my love. I´ll thinking of you. I´sure you´ll have a very good holidays. Don´t think, only live TODAY and be happy.
A lot of kisses

prayers going out your way today. - Molly

Sending prayers and kind thoughts. My grandfather had them removed and he lived to be 97. How about that! Thanks for sharing great projects this year. Looking forward to Ali inspirations next year. Happy Holidays.

I would like to congratulate you on having time to enter your day to day happenings on your site so close to Christmas. I am having trouble keeping up with everything that is happening and don't have the time to sit down with out visitors turning up for christmas drinks.
Enjoyed looking at the new poncho you brought. Wish it was cooler here but Very hot in Australia at the moment.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family. And all the best for the new year.

Lifting you up in prayer~

I say a prayer of thanksgiving for you frequently, and will definitely add another special prayer for you.
XOXOXX

Just remember that you are not the only one to have moles removed. If you are lucky (as I was) you will find out there was nothing wrong. And if not, it was good that it got caught early. Speaking as a person with two basal cell cancer surgeries (neither of which started from a mole), just remember that it is all treatable! I have to admit to panicking myself and it takes so long for the biopsy results to come back, but think good thoughts. At least don't let your mind run with the "what if's" until you know how it all comes out. Wishing you well! And thanks for all the wonderful projects you post and books that you write.

My prayer flies out for you...thank you for a wonderful blog. All my fingers and toes are also crossed, Ali Julie

Sending prayers your way. The brown and red theme rocks.
