Kathy Bates ... Double Mastectomy ...a great light .. who needs our Light!!



As I settled in to my desk chair I read that Kathy Bates has undergone a double mastectomy. Being diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks ago. I remembered seeing Kathy Bates on Broadway in her debut in 'night mother... OMG. A performance that would solidify my love for the theatre.. and then to have her grace our screens both Film and Television.. lifting my heart and spirit at every turn.



My intention is for anyone who reads this.. to please send her light.. prayer, or  a healing thought.. that she may heal and be cancer free for the rest of her time here.

I had the pleasure of meeting her once and she is gracious, raucous and brilliant.. and continues to be to this very day..

May she be lifted and carried with God's hands.. through this journey and heal with every breath she takes.

Thanks
Kathy .. you are truly loved.
