Great news, that your blood pressure went down, and your liver lesions are smaller. When I want my blood pressure to go down, I stop reading the news. I don’t think I’ve ever had liver lesions, but I have had liver and onions. I’m not sure which is worse.
Keep up the joy-filled juggling with your jampacked June. Hopefully, you can jell in July.
Thank you, Tippy! I’m monitoring my blood pressure daily. It’s trending up–but my positivity will keep rising (I know!).
Hmm. Liver and onions. I can smell them in my Mom’s kitchen right now. Uh,…no.
I’ll stay juggling (and giggling as much as I can). Jell, jell-O, and jam in July (it’s my birthday month so the only jams I want are in a jar!). I appreciate you, Tippy!
so thankful for every step forward, so hope June is wonderful for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, dear friend. I’m so thankful for you and the steps you’ve taken forward, too. Please give Hawklad my regards! Big hugs!! 💗💗💗💗
So glad to hear some good news about your treatment. You and your family are constantly in my mid and in my heart. June will be filled with some more firsts for me. My grandson will celebrate his birthday without his grandpa and I will celebrate my first birthday without the love of my life. Father’s Day will be a first for our children since their dad went to heaven. Lots of graduations, weddings and celebrations of
Life too. I’m managing pretty good, but have moments of sadness when I realize that a Paul is not coming home again. I keep uncovering more art treasures I’ve never seen before and know that he’s still alive in his art. I hope your parents are doing well and give your sweet furry buddy a hug for me.
Mama K, I pray for you daily and hold you in my heart and prayers. I can’t imagine the firsts you are going through. My heart hurts for you. You are so precious.
I know that your faith is strong. But I can’t imagine how it would be to lose the love of your life, at nearly 61 years.
I’ll pray specifically for all your firsts, the kids and grands (and great-grands).
I can imagine all the treasures you are uncovering. I have no doubt he’s an angel and God’s presence is keeping Paul near you, too.
I miss being here. Thank you for being here. I love you. I just gave Finley a hug (she is sitting in my lap). 💗❣️🙏🏼
“Miracles in the mayhem. A gentle breeze of the Spirit flowing through his creation. Peace like a
river. I trust you, Lord.”

This is my favorite Karla quote ever!!
And the proof is in the pudding; you’ve actually lived ( and continue to live) these words. 🤗
I listened to part of the podcast and will listen to some more tomorrow. Good stuff!
Happy Summer, Karla and Finley!
Hi, David! You’re so kind, brother! Aww. Thank you!
I just had this thought~ we could do a bigger ZOOM (think Christ and Bear stories) with Tim, you, Gary, Matt, Carolyn, and Tangie. Mama K might be interested too. I see the Brady Bunch squares as we all have our chats.
I really enjoyed your interview with Matt? God is so good!
I hope you have time off?! Many blessings!
So good to see you post again little sister. How are you feeling? Praying for you.
June jumped in so quickly on me. Next thing you know it will be July haha
Hey, big brother. It’s so good to be here. I’m so happy to see you!
How are you feeling? I’m behind on your messages of hope and encouragement. The things I’ve done this month have prepared me for our chats too!
Many blessings, big brother. PS~ don’t rush July lol 😂 or mention Christmas shopping. But it’s ok to play Christmas music all year. 😂
You have 203 shopping days left until Christmas haha
Matt!! Ha ha! You nut! (As I sing, “Joy to the World!” Lol)!!
I’m so glad you made it through the crisis and your treatment is working. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through so much pain but happy you can find moments of joy even in the midst of it all.
Have a wonderful June!
love, katelon
Thank you, Katelon! I’d rather share nothing but the good stuff. The whole experience was miraculous. We take the bad with the good~ growth happens. Do you find that those times keep building resilience and make the good even…gooder (tee hee)?
We are all battling things. I pray your battles are few and you’re winning in every aspect of life. I appreciate you so much. Love, Karla 💚
Sending lots of love. ☀️
Thank you, precious friend. Likewise! 🥰💚
Karla, I’m thrilled to see a post from you!! When you talked about the trials I flashed back on the song that kept my heart afloat when I was in nexus of evil.
I sang this song to myself all day! As always the prayer warriors are hard at it praying for everyone who has been named in special intensions (that means YOU)! June is the month of anticipation – for a berry harvest, the warmth, and the joy of living! I will pray that your “cup runneth over” and you have the “peace that passes understanding -down in your heart”!! Much love from me and Mochi and the Prayer Warriors! 💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
Val! Happy Wednesday to you and precious Mochi! I haven’t clicked the link yet—I can’t wait! I love music that moves our souls!
Last night I was thinking about how I was at the ER one week ago and the prayer warriors gather that night. I’ll have to tell Tim that in addition to his prayers that night, there is this mighty gathering of prayer warriors I know! 🙂 I’m sending a big group hug!
Dear friend, I find joy in the living—even in the tough stuff. I’m so happy you do, too! A month of berries, warmth, and joy. Just a delightful June, Val! Finn and I love you and Mochi. Thank you for being a great friend and support! Stay blessed and safe! ❤️🙏💚💕🥰
it’s sad you can’t rely on a facility: it’s like that here: funding cuts, departments jammed with patients, needy people being shunted off, mental health crises; thank God, we can rely on our God ; and its heartening to know the treatment is doing its job; hugs from me, Karla 🙂
Thank you, my friend. It’s so good to know you’re hanging in on faith too, John. I was so blessed to have my huge surgery there and participate in the studies (which I am still part of). I feel so sad too. Especially for those who won’t benefit from immediate treatment —they’ll put their funding in specific trials that will benefit everyone around the globe. That’s wonderful, but the in-person visits are so beneficial. I’m sorry it’s the same in your lands too, John. “Thank God we can rely on our God.” Amen! We know the bigger plan! Many hugs to you, too! 🥰
Hugs Karla ❤️
Hugs to you, Ananda! Thank you! ❤️
That was such a beautiful chat with Tim Karla, it so touches that place in our hearts when we do decide to ‘let Jesus in’. And I have no doubt that to gain that wisdom we have to see what life isn’t first, so that we can then realize it isn’t what we are doing but what will happen when we finally let go and let Him.
And I have to admit I was getting a little bit worried about you as it had gone quiet. But as usual the moment I think it, up pops that loving glow that is you. It sounds like your path has been testing kind lady, and I suppose, and as you said, it will open us that much more as we let go more and more. And also as you spoke with Tim, it isn’t trying to do anything but letting go all that we had been trying to hold onto. We just need to be open. It took me some time to realize that, but again I think that is the profound appreciation we get when after so long of ‘trying’, that He was just waiting for us to let go so there was room for Him.
Sending huge hugs to a fellow June person, many cuddles to Finnley, and lots of love to you and family. Of which I hope your dad is going ok too ❤️
And one last comment, and considering your Fireside-chat…when I died on my kitchen floor the one thing that so stood out, and ever in what you spoke of with Tim, is the words that God spoke to me was…’I Am The Giver Of Life’…which was so utterly profound, that I let go…and let Him…and it saved me…so I could go on in that ‘life’ now found ❤️🙏
A beautiful post as always kind lady, much love and light to you in your healing. May it ever speak to you with His love 🤗🥰🤣🐾🦓🎶🕊️🐬❤️🙏
Thank you, dear Mark. I had a feeling Tim and I’s conversation would resonate with you. Your miraculous story of being brought back to life—to experience TRUE life. The letting go and allowing the Giver of Life —the river of life—to flow through you. That’s why love is your song and anthem!
“And I have no doubt that to gain that wisdom we have to see what life isn’t first, so that we can realize it isn’t what we are doing, but what will happen when we finally let go and let Him.” Mark! That’s powerful! When Tim talked about how the day after watching a great movie, that experience is over and you feel the same—
It’s that longing in our hearts when everything is quiet. Do you feel, in your experiences, that your clients don’t know how to be in the quiet? We’re a society used to busyness, noise, and “doing”—human-doing rather than human BEING.
When I went quiet, I was adjusting to the new medicine. Everything, including my diet, was impacted again. My eating schedule changed due to fasting. When I first began, my glucose issues were profound. After a few weeks adjusting, some more severe than others, I looked back to see that once again, AS ALWAYS, HE was there the whole time. 5 years ago these adjustments might have taken 3 months. With Christ fully in control, I can surrender and use his strength—combine it with common sense and communication! I was advised to share everything I’m feeling with my nurse. I can’t say enough “good” about my palliative care nurse. Coming from a past where I was confused about what my body was battling to complete awareness is how I feel about my Christ walk. I knew he was “there” but then, he completely seeped in my soul and revealed a greater power at work—much greater than cancer. And no matter what, Mark, all will be well. I’m healed no matter what! Things are more challenging due to side effects-but I can work around them. For we ALL have things to “work around”.
I appreciate your open heart, soul, and mind! I pray that all is well in the magical land of the Down Under! Finley and I send our love, hugs, and lots of dark chocolate! Oh my goodness, I just realized when we begin summer, you’ll start your winter! 🤍🙏🦓☕️💕💚🍫🤗💚
Um…I did a reply Karla…but Spirit, His Spirit…had a little bit to say. And it turned into a post. And I think a well deserved one kind lady 🤗❤️🙏
Mark, I’m so humbled, my friend. I’ve read it many times. I’ve written a response as many times as I read it. I think they’ll land in email and at your place soon! God bless you!!! 🤗❣️🥹🦋🐾🐬✝️💛🦓
And God bless you kind lady 🤗🥰🐾🦓🎶🕊️🐬❤️🙏
Good news about improving blood pressure my friend. Have a lovely month of June
Thank you, sweet Sadje. I’m happy the tumors on my liver are shrinking again—now to get the blood pressure to shrink. I’m ok with being on medication to help the side effects if those darn tumors will shrink! I pray you are well, my friend. Have a beautiful day! It’s good to be back on the blog again!
You’re very welcome. Lots of best wishes and prayers for you dear friend.
Aww, and for you, dear friend. Thank you. ❤️🙏
You’re most welcome
May June be full of joy for you and Finn, Karla!
Thank you, dear friend Mark! I wish the same for you and the Bialczak Bunch!
It is so good to see you rising above your issues and finding joy in your life through faith, fun, and activity. You did a great podcast! Enjoy your summer, Karla! Keep pressing toward the mark…
You just never cease to amaze me with your strength and courage. I think of you often, and pray for you all the time!
Oh, M.B. You are so kind and thoughtful. It’s God using this vessel. His strength gives me grit! I think of you too, MB—every time I see something historical. Much love and hugs, my friend! I appreciate you!
“… to fly, dream, and laugh” is a beautiful thing, “even if for a few hours.” Even butterflies need to rest their wings. 🦋 Hugs to you, Karla. Always lifting and inspiring. 💖🙏🏻
Thank you, precious Michele. What a beautiful response ~straight from a beautiful heart ♥️. Hugs and love, my beautiful friend. 🦋 (even butterflies need to rest their wings~ 😭❤️❤️ ) 🙏🏻♥️
Hugs and love to you. ❤️ Precious butterfly tears. 🥹💖
❣️🦋🦋🥹
Great to hear from you again, Karla! Both in print and literally–this is the first time I’ve heard your speaking voice. And now I’ll “hear” it everytime I read your words, dear friend.
Thank you, Mitch! It’s such a blessing to be here, dear friend. Isn’t it neat after we hear a voice after knowing the “written” voice all these years? You’re such a blessing, thank you for being such a support and prayer warrior, Mitch! ❤️🙏🏻
Karla, I appreciate each of these newsletters. You offer so much for others to embrace. Together in Christ, each of grows stronger from the spirit within. You and my wife, Colleen, share the same birthday month. Awesome!
Thank you for your kind words and prayers, always, Richard! Happy birthday to Colleen (I want to know more about her book too!). My birthday is in July, but we will celebrate my middle granddaughter’s on the 15th. My parents will celebrate year 61 on the 12th and my brother-in-laws birthday on the 30th (and Finley’s!!!) God bless you all!
Blessings to everyone! Colleen’s book is nearing completion. There has been some blood, sweat, and tears in managing all of the challenges of dealing with a publisher. The manuscript is about ready to be transformed into a book format. Then she’ll finally have a more realistic look at everything.
I’m proud of Colleen, Richard! Happy 4th, dear friend!
Happy 4th to you and your family. I will pass along your kind words to Colleen.
Thank you, Richard!!
The last days and week had their ups and downs for you… wow. I am glad that a lot of ups happened and your blood pressure and liver lesions have improved. It is indeed this one sentence that can make the big difference:💖Let go and let God 💖 You show us that it works wonders. May the wonders never stop working on you, my dear friend 💖
Erika, you are so thoughtful and kind, sweet friend. Thank you! I count every win! Giving it to God.
I think I miscommunicated my blood pressure as it continues to rise ~ but we can work on side effects so those tumors can be zapped!
It touches my heart you see the miracles through my situation. Isn’t it all miraculous? Love and hugs, my friend ❤️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
Oh, I see, I must have misunerstood. But even the more I am glad that the side effects are under control and you can work on the real issue.
Oh, yes, I do, and it touches and moves me every time. You teach us being more conscious about what is going on around us. It’s in recognizing those little miracles which is decisive in how we see and experience life.
Much love to you, my dear friend 💖
Sweet friend, I’m sure it’s the way I wrote it. Today, I finally began new medicine to help out blood pressure as it was too high the last 2 days.
You live in such a state of love and awareness, Erika. I’m so glad we can encourage one another to continue finding the miracles in life! I love you, dear friend.❣️💛🤗🙏🏼
There is still a looooot of potential left to get into awareness 😄 It is easy when I am here at my laptop, only focusing on the love in one another. But it is different when I am chasing my daily obligations or being chased by my demons and working on freeing myself of them. In the end, we are all humans, and come together to learn from and teach each other… which is why I love this life with everything in it.
I love you too, my dear friend and I hope you feel my embrace 💖
Karla, how scary was the blood pressure! You have been through so much and your faith remains strong. You are an encouragement to always remain faithful to the One who holds you in His everlasting hands. He is sovereign over all. I love you and you remain always in my prayers. I will listen to the video later today.
I commented on your last post, but I don’t think you saw it. I just want you to know I am always thinking of you. Life is quite busy as my brother and I are cleaning out my parents’ home. There are so many memories in that precious little house that I grew up in.
Sending my love and prayers ❤️🙏🏻🎶🥰
Pam, I’ve been thinking of you and wondering how you all were doing! I’m so sorry I missed a comment from you.
Your sweet spirit, prayers, and friendship mean so much to me. I pray for you all as you do for me. I can’t imagine all you’ve been doing. Bless your hearts.
It’s so odd, Pam. I’ve NEVER had high blood pressure in my life. I was always TOO low. Today, it is 150/101 and the lowest was 139/82. I’ve had one call from a nurse and waiting on my palliative care nurse, too. It’s definitely a side effect and I’ll need medication to control it. The prayers are working! I’ve had such wins and I will never lose my faith.
Even in the ups and downs, I don’t ruminate on the icky stuff. I love just living life and addressing all the other stuff as it comes my way. It’s become a habit now. It might jar me a bit when it first occurs, but by surrendering it and accepting it, I keep my Spirit positive.
Please know how much I love you and I can’t wait to see how the blooms are doing at your place. I hope you are taking care too. Such an emotional season, filled with the balance of earthly loss and heavenly gain for you and your family. Such precious memories with your parents and that house. That touches my heart, Pam.
The interview is over an hour and I hope you do find that it resonates with your Christ walk. There is some background noise when I’m flipping through my Bible pages. But overall, due to my health, we did it in one take!
God bless you and your entire family, dear Pam. Sending love and prayers to you, too! 💛💚🤗❣️🙏🏼💗
Kayla so glad you pulled through, I’ve been thinking of you often and wishing you were through and out the other side of this. How you remain so full of joy and energy is beyond me but you are a true inspiration.
Karla, this is a wonderful post. Your blood pressure was scary, yet the nurse came at the right time, one of those ‘meant to be’ moments. God is looking out for you. When you focus on the positive and blessings, it gives you strength and happiness. You champion that!
Thank you, dear Jennie. I appreciate you so much! God is looking out indeed. Since my absent and family celebrations I had another hospital stay. New changes…but I’m…here.Happy 4th dear friend. I think of you often and keep you in my heart and prayers. 💗💛
Hi Karla! Yes, God is looking out. I hope the new changes after your hospital stay have been a good thing. Keep me posted. Happy 4th, my friend. I think of you often, too. Here’s to heart and prayers! ❤️
💗🤍💙❣️🤗🤗🤗
❤️😍💕🥰😀
Your testimonies are always uplifting! ☀️🫠Blessings and hugs Karla!
Aww. Thank you my friend. Blessings and hugs to you!!
Oooh, precious friend 🧡 This post makes my heart ❤️ smile! Soo thankful for the good news about your liver leisons shrinking and your BP. Girl, that is SCARY on how high it was! PTL its better! Love and warm hugs!! You keep jamming in June dear friend and hug Betsy for ms 😉🩷💛 🎵 🎶 🎵 🐮🐮🐮
Dear Karla,
I’m wishing you less pain, fewer liver lesions, lower blood pressure. And more love, joy, and time in Nature.
Healing thoughts,
Tanja
Thank you, Tanja. Your wishes and thoughts are coming to fruition. We’re “knocking” out the side effects to continue letting the treatment do its job. It’s a never-ending “cycle” of medicines to control the side effects from each medicine, lol. I’ll get to a point again, I believe, where I’ll be stable and can stop it all again. It’s a marathon, I’m often reminded!
I appreciate you, my friend. I hope and pray you take care too!
If anyone can run a marathon and cross the finish line standing up, it’s you, Karla!
Thank you, dear Tanja. That gave me a huge smile!
That sounds like a horrible ER experience until God stepped in to help. Keep moving forward and keep that wonderful attitude, you got this! I will continue to send prayers! Have a great week!
Thank you, precious Diane. I appreciate you! God bless you! Happy 4th to you and yours!
God bless you, Dear Sister KL. My heart hurts for your ER visit and pain, and I’m still praying for recovery and repair, salvaged strength, and miracles.
I’ve jumped ship on my other blog. The new one is not quite up and running. Hopefully you recognize me through my words. I love you!
❤️, CL
I love you, CL. I miss you. I’m proud of you@
I love your newsletter! It’s been a while since I’ve read your blog, so it’s great to start catching up. I’m especially excited about your podcast!
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your support and kindness. I’ve been absent for quite a while. My apologies! God bless you!!
Well, we’re almost into July now and I pray all is well and your jam-packed June has been a blessing in every way. So thankful for good news of your health, Karla. You’re in my prayers, dear friend. 💖
Thank you, dear Dora. Much love and prayers to you, sweet sister. God bless you and I pray you’re well. 💗
Karla, you are in my daily prayers, and I thank God for you. Keep the faith sister.
Thank you, dear sister. I thank God for you, too.
