Tracy J Lee
To Lisa's Circle of Love & Friendship:
My name is Tracy Lee, a longtime friend of Lisa's from California. I had the gift of being able to spend time Lisa last month. It was the week of Quinn's graduation so a busy time readying to celebrate Quinn and prepare for visitors. In spite of the week including radiation simulation/mapping, intense infusion treatments and 24 hours in her cervical collar, in usual Lisa style, she threw a not-so-small party to celebrate Quinn's many accomplishments (including a scholarship to RIT!)
It is impressive to watch her push through all that she manages day to day as she continues in her role as mother, wife, friend and running the show at the house (of course with David right by her side). Some days are better than others and she'll be navigating those extreme ups and downs for the foreseeable future.
Lisa's work going forward will be to take care of herself using every possible traditional, non-traditional, integrative and alternative method available to her. Lisa has good health insurance but there is much that insurance does not pay for. Fortunately she understands what she needs to complement the cancer treatments she'll be enduring. High quality organic foods, appointments with her naturopath, supplements, massage, cranial sacral work, are just some of the ways in which she is developing her strategy to take care of herself as the medicine battles the cancer.
Many have been asking "What can I do/send/cook/etc for Lisa?" More than anything, the continued love and communication is paramount to her mental health. Additionally, there is a GoFundMe set-up. The funds raised will be put towards alternative therapies and high quality nutrition to support her during this time. Should you wish to donate (you'll need to copy and paste this in your browser):

Glad to be in Lisa's circle with all of you.

Tracy, thanks for sharing with Lisa's "love circle", I recently visited Lisa and the Fam early June and we had a sweet visit and it was really helpful to see how best we can support. As Tracy mentioned, resources for alternative therapies that are not covered by insurance would be a huge help. I think Lisa definitely has a consciousness about healthy diet, but I think she wants to focus in on the "food as medicine" path with more clarity of direction, because as most of us know, it's pretty overwhelming and confusing as there are so many different schools of thought when it comes to diet and nutrition for healing. So with that said, for the many of you who are seeking a way to express your love and caring, it would be a great gesture of support if you will consider making a donation to Lisa's Go Fund Me, tracy provided the link above. Your contribution would relieve a tremendous amount of stress for Lisa, knowing she has the freedom to pick and choose practitioners and healing modalities without hesitation over affordability or insurance coverage. and let us continue to hold the space for absolute healing, sending love and positive, powerful vibes Lisa's way. It truly is the Collective Well. love to all, Tara [email protected]
