It was a sun-shiny day with low humidity, rare for this time of year–the trails called our names. Finn and I spoke with a Golden Doodle, a Miniature Schnauzer, and their kind owner. The man’s river t-shirt, hiking shoes, cane, hat, gait, and smile, gave me hints about his human condition and hobbies. My appearance, according to him, didn’t provide hints about my health, but my hobbies were evident (the hat and pigtails gave it away). He’s a retired orthopedic surgeon who loves walking his dogs, visiting foreign countries, and even more, his family and granddaughter who studies at MIT in Boston. We spoke of rare and unusual things like cancer, situations, and nature lovers in our area. Two days later Finley and I visited another nearby park. Most would call it remarkable and rare—unusual and strange-that we ran into the doctor, his two dogs, and his wife. What are the odds of meeting again, on a different day, time, and park? A family reunion the next day posed “out of the ordinary” situations and a rare love we all have for one another. I’m embracing this Jubilant July with the extraordinary it’s already delivered. Sometimes, things are just out of the ordinary.
Rare is everywhere. I’ve experienced rare things–people, places, and things. There are many photos to display the unusual.Even rarer than my photos are the feelings and emotions attached to them. Do things feel “out of the ordinary” to you? I mean, what is “ordinary” anyway (I’ve experienced MORE than an ordinary miracle)? My cancer is considered rare. But it’s not “out of the ordinary” to meet someone who is battling a disease. Being a twin is a bit out of the ordinary (and rare). What is rare and unusual to you? Your eye color (I learned hazel eyes are rare globally)? Your car? Culture? A collectible jewel or crystal? Your IQ? Temperament? What about kindness? Love? Religion? Beliefs? Behaviors? Ten years ago, in my world, kindness seemed more common. Ordinarily, I would see more smiling faces (or just faces, lol). Unlike some of the animals I learned about on a recent excursion, I don’t believe kindness and love have a chance at extinction, but hostility does seem more common. Allow me to share rare and exceptional stories that I hope will highlight the remarkable and extraordinary!
Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
What’s black, white, and red all over? A zebra with a sunburn!
Each Wednesday my exceptional “herd” of friends with NET cancer meet via ZOOM. Why are we zebras? Each of us has this uncommon cancer; like unique “stripes”, we all have varying symptoms and treatments. The faces in the ZOOM squares have become my rare family (a huge Brady Bunch clan)! This uncommon and exceptional group is MORE than their rare disease. One professionally ice-skated for 14 years, one skydived recently, and another “zebra” and his wife captured (by a photo of course!) an out of the ordinary whale gathering on their return trip from Alaska. Other ZOOM “zebras” cherish their kids, grandkids, and even great-grandkids! One assembles model cars (his wife is a retired nurse), one composed a Christian radio program’s theme song, and another exceptional member creates costumes, masks, and designs (and her mom designs exterior places!). Giggling, I think of the rarity in our leader, a retired PA, who has a twin like me, and her husband is a composer/musician. One member swims marathons in the ocean and raised 4 kids, and another is the fun creative aunt, placing pics in photo books and organizing all our notes and information. Another zebra teaches music in New York and advocates for his mom. And another one is a physical therapist and health/wellness coach. One creates unique art and two are retired counselors! Several zebras are retired teachers~ and across the ocean is an outdoor, horse-loving/riding enthusiast! We’re moms, dads, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, friends, workers, and more! Aren’t we ALL zebras? EACH of you are UNIQUE and RARE!
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rarely, do my twin and I spend an entire day together! On Monday I celebrated her birthday with a visit to the Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium (I must dedicate an entire post to this place!). Rare and unique displays, animals, and experiences made our birthday a blast! Kristy always cheers me on when I want to do “rare” things like dive in a tank with sharks (very safe and easy–all in a cage with exceptional gear)! As wombmates many things for us are “out of the ordinary”. Our love and connection is rare. Are we like a small gang? Two peas in a pod? We share hearts–and noses, chins, and lips? Our shirts stated, “It’s a twin thing—you wouldn’t understand!” Being a twin is rare (rather than cite all the research, I’m sure you can Google it to see its rarity—be prepared to go down a rabbit hole of even more rarity!).
How about rare and radical love? It’s not the kind in the movies or books,…except for ONE book I love.
I’ve experienced radical love and forgiveness. “I forgive everything!” It might seem out of the ordinary to offer grace, love, and kindness. But I know an unusual and rare love. Complete healing isn’t necessary for me to accept it. Or to feel it. I choose it! How do you find this rare treasure? It’s already in you. Do you have a longing for a love that can’t be met in the ordinary? You’ll find God in that rare place in your soul. When you meet him there it’s a rarity that is priceless. It’s so out of the ordinary you’ll never replace it, sell it, trade it, or give it up!
Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8
Do you know how loved you are? Have faith 🤍

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”-C.S. Lewis

What a beautiful post, reminding us to look deeper, stretch further, and endure longer to find the rare and remarkable. Blessings to you, my jubilant July jammin’ friend!
Thank you, precious Mama M! I appreciate you and feel the blessings and support~I hope you feel mine too! Summer is stretching the skills…and I’m savoring the wisdom and strength. I think of “rare” and you when I find heart-shaped things in nature. I love you sweet friend 💕
Karla, you are a beautiful message from the Lord. You encourage us and I love how you share your faith in the midst of your rare cancer. Truly you are a light in this dark world. We need more of God’s lights in more people to shine in hopes of changing more hearts. In Christian Love, Tangie
Tangie, thank you my sister. You are so kind and thoughtful. I’m so happy you feel my encouragement! It’s in these tough moments that I find strength and the joy is something I dare not let leave~ I found it again~and this time even stronger. You’re such an inspiration to me. I know your battles and thank you for shining with me. Love and prayers 💕🙏🏻
Amen, more of God’s light is definitely needed.
thank you, sweet sister. I appreciate you, Tangie!
Glad to hear you are hiking. 😊
“Rare is everywhere.” ❤️
Thank you for sharing your extraordinary experiences and stories. Your encounters and connections truly reflect the beauty of life’s uniqueness. It’s inspiring to hear about the rare love and rare experiences you’ve encountered.

Aw, thank you for being here and supporting me!! May we keep finding rare! Life is beautiful ❤️
A wonderful and encouraging post, Karla. It is great to see you out and about enjoying life with friends and family.
For me it is Nature that presents out of the ordinary surprises. The butterflies that show up on my flowers, the bees feeding on my Salvia, the mutations of color in the petals, the misshapen tomatoes that grow in my little garden, the tadpoles growing in my rain barrel, and the wren nesting in my geranium pot all are exciting to see! And that is just one aspect of my life.
Keep up the good work!
Dwight
Thank you, Dwight! I thought of you at our family reunion~Just like my Uncle Dwight.
Your descriptions of extraordinary are beautiful! I love all of that!
Your support and encouragement have propelled my persistence! Thank you so much! Many blessings to you and yours!
You are most welcome Karla!
Your words always lift me up. Even when things overwhelming and words like “becoming weaker,” or “hospice” make us think the worse, your advice to focus on the good things in life are like a breath of fresh air. You inspire and encourage so many with your faith. Thanks for sharing it.
Mama K, I pray daily for you and Paul. I can’t imagine. I know you have peace and faith~yet, how challenging and hard. I’m so happy my words can lift you. May God give comfort, peace, and many blessings.i love you dearly.
Karla, another uplifting and positive post from you. I’m not sure if anything is ordinary. Every thing we see in nature, every friendship, every encounter with another human being or animal, every day we wake up raring to go, every moment we sit back and relax…… we may do these things dozens and dozens of times, but each time they’re extraordinary, never ordinary.
You and your NET friends read like a Who’s Who in the world of extraordinary people who are the epitome of movers and shakers. Boy! I wish you guys could take over Washington, D. C.!
Sounds like your family reunion was fabulous. Of course it was! So happy that you and Sweet Miss Finley were part of it.
Wishing you and Finn a glorious summer of fun in the sun, feeling cool in a pool, and you get to go hiking with a Viking.
Love and prayers and extra belly rubs for Sweet Miss Finley.

Oh, Ginger! Your responses and words always lift me! They make me smile huge!
“…but each time they’re extraordinary, never ordinary.” Ginger, that’s wisdom! I love that!
I will tell the NET friends about your amazing support (and your DC wishes! 😀) and praise!
I think you’re an extraordinary person too!
Finn and I came to visit my youngest son and family and the first thing she did was jump in their little pool! Hiking with a Viking! Now that would be something!
Finn and I love you, Ginger! She said thank you for the belly rubs and I thank you for the prayers. 💕🎶❤️☀️💕🐾

❤️🐾🥰❤️ 🥾
I love this post Karla, the rare, the remarkable and resilient moments of life! You are an original and rare soul bursting with love, as if a sprinkler, you shower us all with kindness and inspiration. Happy Birthday my sweet little sis. I love you to the moon and back. May this year be your best ever! xxoo, C
Aw, thank you, big sis. You are so kind and encouraging! I’m so happy you can feel the love~ and I’m giggling because I’ve been playing in the sprinkler with one of my granddaughters~”shower” fits perfectly tonight.
I’m so happy to have another birthday, C. Every day seems monumental ~even in mundane, and the tough times make them even more worth it.
I love you to the moon and back too! Thank you for being a blessing! Xoxo ❤️💕🙏🏻🥰
Amid your trials you are blessed Karla. Your life has experienced higher highs and lower lows than most people ever do. You are never alone. You know God’s presence. Your sense of preparedness is a beacon to those doing life alone. There are a lot of us out there praying and rooting for you.
Gary, what a precious thing to say. I feel so blessed.
High highs, low lows~ and never alone. 🙏🏻
I can’t even fathom what life would be like without God’s presence.
And without the support of so many praying and rooting for me. Please give my prayers and cheers of support and gratitude to your family. I’m so appreciative of my Fultz family. Much love in Christ to you all.❤️🙏🏻
Wow, Karla! This is probably my favorite so far. You are a rare person for sure, and one of my favorite verses comes to mind:
“We also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received recognition.” (Romans 5:11)
I think those who truly experience that reconciliation; as you have, is certainly a rarity. Not only would the reconciled replace it, sell it, trade it, or give it up, but will always feed it, and bare it’s fruit as you do as well.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
CP, thank you for your kind and thoughtful words and support, dear friend. To think this is a favorite~wow! That’s wonderful!
Ah, feed it and bear its fruit! That’s beautiful!
You have experienced this too~you know! I will
Highlight the verse in Romans. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It looks like auto correct got me again! 😂 Should be “reconciliation”, but I’m sure you caught that.
Sincerely,
”Fat Thumbs” Curtis. 🤣😊
No worries, dear friend! I knew what happened! It gets me all the time! 🤭☺️ l 😂 “fat thumbs” lol
Ah Karla, the beauty and wisdom from such a heart. He put you down here to show the way, become a delightful blossom for all to see 🤗❤️
I took the link back to ordinary miracle, a great song, a great share, and a great heart being opened. It must seem in the beginning such a huge unbelievable time. But you young lady have shown the gift of love as that flower blooms. It does take you down such a huge pathway, but ever with that love inside slowly teaching a beauty no words can truly express.
Yes, and you share, really share what you have found. That gift inside us stopped me in my tracks, let me realize that I had been given something that, as you said, is given us all individually with a love that cannot be compared. And so unconditional is it that we can, or not, dare to step into life and understand that it isn’t all a hardship, but a very beautiful and profound gift within it all. It just takes a little hope, faith and heart to take one more step.
You are a soldier of love Karla, daring to face that one more step. And each time you do that love speaks back to you…in synchronicities in those you meet, birthdays you celebrate (Happy Birthday!!! 💝 🎁), and lovely connections so heartfelt only a twin can relate 🦋
He has given you a very beautiful and heartfelt journey kind lady, and in it given such understanding so that you can see…really see its purpose. Very big hugs to you and Finn, happy celebrations for your day…but most of all a love to add to that flower within you.
Hang in there lovely lady, that cross on your path has something beyond words to share with you, as only unconditional love can. Much love and light, and enjoy those heartfelt trails that only that love can give 🤗🥰🤣❤️🙏
Mark, your heart and words flow like a beautiful river, dear friend. Thank you 🙏🏻
You understand why I placed the “old” miracle here and linked it to now~it did seem so unbelievable! The “ordinary” (as Ginger shared) becomes extraordinary ~and everything is out of the ordinary! So much so, I’m never shocked! 🫢🥰
An individual path ~ yet, when those who have experienced it collide, it’s a colossal connection that makes for soul smiles!😀
I no longer question it~sometimes I look around and think, “Is he or she feeling this? Experiencing this? Know this?” Does it take near death? Loss? Love? For me, it’s in praising and recognizing the victories, and praising him through (and acknowledging) the flops and near fatalities! Gosh, Mark~how can it NOT be bigger than me? You know…you know…you know! That cross on the path and opening my eyes to a new day, getting my head to a new space of thinking good things of my thinking (lol), and allowing all space in me to be completely emptied of me and filled with the Spirit. That deep longing in all of us that can be only found …when you experience reconciliation and restoration~that’s where you meet God. And only he satisfies that~so I can only give him the credit and I’ll carry it on (and when I fall, faith will keep me moving forward as long as I keep my eyes on Jesus!).
It was such a wonderful birthday~I’m grateful!
Thank you for showering Finn and I with love, support, hugs, and prayers~ all of it is a blessing bundle! You’re a soldier of love, too, Mark! May we continue our journeys with good health, hearts, minds, and souls (and add chocolate for you, too!) 💕🤭🙏🏻👏🏻☀️🎶🐾🙌🏻🥾☀️🦈👭🌎🐦🎉
Ooh yes, chocolate, I nearly forgot 🤣
As we open our hearts Karla and dare to believe, He gifts us with Spirit so that we can see loves depth and step even further into it. And when I saw it…it left me so speechless. I wish I could show you what is there, there are truly no words for its beauty. Plus, your journey is doing for you as it did for me.
It will be your discovery too kind lady, to touch something so incredibly profound because you dared to believe and accept that gift. Only a perfect cross of light on a empty path could speak to you and confirm your steps, as it did for you ❤️
Big hugs, and a love from down under for you and Finn kind lady. May that cross for you, ever hold you in His love 🤗❤️🙏
❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻🙌🏻☺️🤗🤗🎉🎉🌎🌎👏🏻 🍫
I think it was Pope John Paul who said “every human being is special, unique and unrepeatable” or something like that, it’s been awhile but I had that saying embroidered on my sons christening cape.
Which would make every single one of us a zebra, in a herd of zebras. There is magic everywhere, I think k we just have to be logged into it to see it. Then you can’t miss it. I loved this post so much Karla, I’m so glad you are out hiking and have a big group of friends who share that particular side of your story with you. You are such a beautiful human, I’m glad we at WordPress get to share this side of you.
It’s such a joy to see you and hear your voice, Kate. I always appreciate your thoughtful words.
“There is magic everywhere, I think we just have to be logged into to see it. Then you can’t miss it.” Ah, Kate. That’s beautiful. Many are “logged” into other things and miss the magic.
There are many things in which I’ve lowered expectations ~but miracles, I’ll never expect anything BUT them. I have 20/20 vision when it comes to the magic around me. 🥰
Our community here, and the NET community, is a safe place to surrender the situations and suffering ~to sift them through the Savior’s perspective~ it’s a perfect miraculous recipe! And you all understand. Kate, it’s a deep connection that, without specifically being logged in with you here, I would’ve hiked this journey alone (other than family always of course!).
Thank you, my friend. Many times you’ve been with me, swimming at the deep end ~ I read your words and the things you write and feel~and know I’m not alone. I love and appreciate you! ❤️🙏🏻💕
I love and appreciate you too Karla. I always look for Flannel and Faith notifications, I don’t always have time to read them right then because I know I’ll want to comment and say a lengthy hi – but you mean a lot, never doubt it. Sister soul to my heart on the other side of the world X
Sister soul, yes…thank you my friend. That touches my heart 💕❤️💕
How fun that you ran into the same Dr and his dogs and two different places?! I didn’t know you were a twin! I wanted so badly to be a twin growing up. Didn’t everyone? I mean, The Parent Trap. I can just imagine the fun you two had growing up. Praying for a Jubilant July for you!! Lots of love, Rachel
Thank you so much! Rachel, when I saw him (and got to meet his lovely wife the 2nd time!), I thought, “Could that be them?” I knew the dogs right away~yet, I was still not putting two and two (a total of 8 paws, tee hee) together!
He said he was thinking the same thing. My hair wasn’t in pigtails and I had cut a LOT of Finn’s hair! It made for giggles and gasps! 😂🫢
Being a twin is fun~I could write a book, lol. The Parent Trap! Yes! I’m certain Kristy and I could share all the great things, and also, the things that make it difficult too~ having your own unique “stripes” is important. When you’re a twin, and known in a small community or family, you are known as the “twins”. There’s a level of attention that is interesting. There’s an unbelievable bond and “knowing” that’s downright eery! Lol
Thank you for your sweet support and friendship~you’re a rat of sunshine, Rachel. Much love and prayers for you and your precious crew! 🙏🏻💕❤️
Even your replies are beautifully written and full of puns and alliteration. Have a beautiful day, friend! 💕💕
Happy birthday, twin (and Karla)! May your daily gifts in this extraordinary July continue, my friend. You meet the nicest people and creatures!
Thank you, Mark! I appreciate you so much! Yes, I really have met the nicest people ~like you, my friend!
“How about rare and radical love? It’s not the kind in the movies or books,…except for ONE book I love.” I love this, Karla. Once we have experienced His radical love, it changes everything!
I love you precious friend and you are in my daily prayers. Keep using your marvelous gift from our Creator…the gift of expressing in words—His love, His grace, His mercy, His forgiveness!!
Thank you, precious Pam! You know how much this love changes things❤️
Your prayers and support help me so much~ I appreciate you and your family. I’m with my youngest son and his family and soaking in these memories. I’ll not take a day for granted!
I pray that his love and grace continue to show and grow! Please take care. ❤️💕🙏🏻🥰🥰🙌🏻🎶
Happy Birthday, Karla! You really swam with sharks?! Even in a cage, I couldn’t do it! But once a shark swam right by my friend and I as we floated in the ocean in deep conversation! Suddenly, we noticed all the people were on the beach yelling and motioning for us to come in. Then I saw it! A shark about 4 feet long swam right by us! We high-tailed it to shore! Blessings, my friend! 🙏 🐾 🤗
Thank you, dear friend! I can’t imagine seeing a shark, near me, in the water while swimming. I would’ve become a better swimmer at that moment you shared with your encounter! Yikes! I’ve seen them while standing on a pier. What I did was easy! To do that in an ocean would be …exhilarating? The vastness of the ocean, the amazing creatures~~it’s fascinating…and I have a healthy reverence for them!
Many blessings to you, Cindy. I’m out of town, but I hope to resume reading soon. Love to you and Henry and Finn and I ❤️💕🙏🏻
Extraordinary is simply the ordinary with an extra smile. My mother was a twin. Unfortunately the twin didn’t survive. You my friend are a rare and unique voice that touches us all in ways I cannot begin to explain. Happy Birthday!
Pam, I’m sorry that your Mom’s twin did not survive.
“Extraordinary is simply the ordinary with an extra smile.” You always have a perfect quip and quote! There’s one to share, dear friend.
You are a wonderful human and friend, Pam. Thank you again for the birthday wishes and kind messages! ❤️🙏🏻
what a great title for a post ! This is indeed a jubilant one: I love chance encounters; we must get out. mix, be open to experience, not shut out people — and yes , forgive. I love rare experiences and after initial diffidence, I embrace and am enriched by the encounter; keep well, Karla.
John, I appreciate you! You’re open to these rare experiences and I’m sure, with your word and wisdom wealth, there are millions of poems to reflect your life. I love all the encounters and situations that prove existence is way bigger than I can even fathom! I pray you keep well, too, my friend. 🙏🏻🤗
What a rare happening with you and the doctor! I know how much you realized it was a beautiful, meant-to-be moment, something to relish and grow on. Lucky you! Best of all is your wonderful Wednesday group, all with rare cancer. Again, lucky you!
Thank you, Jennie! It’s such a blessing to encounter these moments! I’m sending many hugs your way!
😍
You were meant to meet the doctor, God always has a plan. Your post was so inspiring and lifted me up today, thank you Karla!
It’s my blessing. Diane, thank you for your thoughtful words and support!
Thankful for the love we get to experience in God and through the people that surround us. 🙌🏼
Most glad you have your community with loving and supportive people. 🫂🥰
Thank you for sharing this.
Amen, my friend. Beautiful words! Thank you so much! God bless you! 💕🤗🙏
♥️🥰
Amen 🙏🏻
And you too, ma’am. ♥️
Thank you! ❤️🙏
You always make writing look so easy. It is most definitely one of your gifts. I was especially drawn to what you wrote about your diverse Zoom community. I love meeting new people. Each person has a unique story. God can teach us much when we listen to others.
Matthew, your response lifts my spirits, dear friend. Writing used to be EASIER. It takes a long time to form a post (that’s why I only publish once a week, if that!). Words swirl in my soul and head–sometimes I struggle putting them into a coherent form! It takes much longer now that ever before. THANK YOU, my friend!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed learning about the community. I’ll be with them this afternoon. Learning from others is such a wonderful gift! Just as I learn from you! Take care and many blessings to you and yours. I appreciate you!
The wonderful thing about your beautiful, resilient spirit, dear Karla, is that you make it less rare every day — by infecting others!
Mitch, your response warmed my heart and soul! You’re such a wonderful support to me. THANK YOU, dear friend! 🤍
All these “out-of-the-ordinary” moments are full of gratitude and love and, seeing you shine through them all, really add up to EXTRAordinary moments. ✨✨
Thank you, dear friend. I appreciate you ~you inspire me! 💜🥰 ✨
You are unique little sister. A rare person who faces difficulty with God’s love in her heart
Thank you, brother. I give God the glory (and I’m so glad he’s grown my grit). Matt, you seem to be the same unique way, too. I appreciate you!
Oh Dear Karla, Happy Belated Birthday! Ugh! I’m so sorry I missed it by weeks and at the same time thrilled you and Kristy shared such a great one and with sharks! No doubt, good metaphors here. It seems we have had lots in common this past month, in different ways, but I always feel your experience and relate. And YOU always cheer me on in my faith and in life, and I just love you so very much for that! 🩷💕🩷
C, you never have to apologize, my friend. I UNDERSTAND…ALWAYS. Each day is like a birthday to me! They’re all miracles! To add a whole year is surreal. They go by so fast!
The miles separate us–yet, our circumstances in so many ways keep us very connected. God is amazing that way!
Thank you for your heartfelt messages and support. You always cheer me on too! I love you!! 🤍❣️💕🤗🤍🙏
Karla, this title shares so much. In His own divine way, our Creator builds our individual DNA with unique characteristics. He prepares to fill our life’s table with both the ordinary and extraordinary. This summer, Colleen and I experienced a truly special time when we met a blogging friend of mine in Montana. Amazing!
How wonderful, Richard! It is so amazing how God blesses in both extraordinary and ordinary ways! That’s so special for you, Colleen, and the friend. God bless you all. Thank you for being here and sharing this journey with me!
Richard, how wonderful for you, Colleen, and your blogging friend! Thank you for your wise and beautiful comments! I appreciate you so much! God bless you!
