I mentioned in an earlier 52 Weeks shot about a friend who had been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Since then, she's been through a horrible operation, some serious radiotherapy and a huge amount of weight loss. She has a rare form of cancer which grows aggressively, but thankfully doesn't metastasise (ie. spread throughout the rest of the body). Anyway, for the moment (and hopefully into the distant future), she's doing well, and the doctors are unsure of how her tumour will react to the treatment. We're all hoping for the best, and she's getting on with her life as normal which is great. To top it off, she's put on a few kilos too!

 

During her operation, she went through a MASSIVE amount of blood. Blood that was donated by people like you and me. Every single person who donates blood helps someone. You're helping unborn children, old people, sick people, rich people, and poor people. Everyone's life is worth it, so do your part and donate. I did it today and trust me, it's not a painful process. The snacks afterwards are worth the trip alone!

 

In Australia, contact The Red Cross Blood Service on 13 14 95 to make an appointment, or simply visit www.donateblood.com.au/. In other parts of the world, you guys will have your own blood services, it's a wonderful thing you'll be contributing towards so go and do it!

soundtrack: Dubtribe Sound System - "Do It Now"

 

You say you're lonely

Don't care anymore

Emptiness abounds

and love surrounds

the hole besides your heart

 

You're feeling so sad,

And it's never been this bad..before

Don't wanna change the world

But I'm gonna change your mind

I'll only say that if you stay

Love is what you'll find

But you're gone...'cause love takes so long

 

You say you're empty

Don't feel anymore

Loneliness abounds

And the music pounds around and around and around...

 

You're moving way too fast

Like nothing ever lasts

Just keep on ... pushing

Could be anything you want

Could do anything you feel

Love is all around you

But you don't believe it's real

Just be fearless

Baby be fearless...

 

Do it now

Do it now

Do it now

Do it now

 

All my life

I sit and wonder

Why you put yourself down

What's so bad, what's so bad, what's so bad, what's so bad

About what we have now?

Raise your hands... in the twilight

Raise your hands... to the sky

 

And say I love you

No fear anymore

Happiness is found

Let love come down

and shine inside your heart

You're beautiful inside

I'm in love with your mind and your heart and your soul and your eyes

Could be anything you want

Could do anything you feel

Love is all around you

But you don't believe it's real

Open up your mind

Listen to your heart

Leave loneliness behind

Come on, come on, come on

 

Do it now

Do it now

Do it now

Do it now

The Mysterious Xiangxi of China

They followed me very closely to the wire and then, when they realized that I didn't have anything for them, one of them sounded a windpipe squeaklike honk and they all did an about face and trotted off. As if!

 

I think they're guinea fowl.

week 42 - embracing pluto

 

I am officially protesting you, Libra. I am staging a walkout and mounting a demonstration and launching a boycott unless you agree to my demand. And yes, I have just one demand: that you take better care of the neglected, disempowered, and underprivileged parts of your life. Not a year from now; not when you have more leisure time; NOW! If and when you do this, I predict the arrival of a flood of personal inspiration.

 

All of creation loves you very much. Even now, people you know and people you don't know are collaborating to make sure you have all you need to make your next smart move. But are you willing to start loving life back with an equal intensity? The adoration it offers you has not exactly been unrequited, but there is room for you to be more demonstrative.
