more news from Michele

Dear Wonderful Friends and Painters,
I have been deeply touched by some of your emails asking to have further news of my recovery. I am happy to say that I am doing very well.  My blood tests have come back to a normal level, my strength is returning everyday a little more and I can take care of myself and do almost everything I need to. There are still a lot of routine appointments to go to, but all is well.

I have been very happy to have the energy to start painting 3 weeks ago and since then the days are not long enough for the strong inspiration I feel.  I am enjoying painting tremendously, letting the images and colors process the intense adventure I just went through.

I am planning to go to Europe for an alternative treatment for 3 weeks and I am looking forward to it. I will be going to a Swiss Biological clinic, the Paracelsus Clinic near Zurich. The doctors there have regular credentials but they mostly use alternative medicine and soft means for cleansing and detoxifying the system or addressing any possible issue after surgery. I feel it will boost and strengthen my body. At the end of the 3 weeks, I will go to Paris to visit my grandchildren for a few days and that will be a very sweet finale to this European journey for me.

I do look forward to teaching in June.  My teaching re-entry will be the second part of the master class in San Francisco and then Esalen, in September.
I want to thank you all again for the care and support you have been giving me as a community. I am very grateful to have been the recipient of such love.

May many blessings meet your every step.
I will keep you all in my heart.
Michele
