My lungs continue to heal; I feel like a person who has fought a forest fire without oxygen or a mask. I am extremely limited in what I can do this week and will not be returning to dance this week, and very limited next. I have had my immune system knocked out by high-dose steroids and so am trying not to be around people too much this week.
But June 7th was my birthday and I am happy about that. I love being in my 50s and have no problem with it. But I do hope that my health improves! I have come to contemplate breathing as the force of life itself, and am grateful when it comes with ease for me.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
