Holy Shit!!!🌻❤️🧡💛🌻 THE SUNFLOWER tarot card, I could not love it more!!! Néia, Drew, and Néia’s sister (an incredible artist), used their creativity to create this tarot card with me smack in the middle of it🌻🐲🌻 This is nuts, it’s incredible, and makes me soooooooo happy🙏 #glioblastoma #creativity #joy #tarot
Crafting & jewelry making are so much fun!!! I primarily use stones, crystals, and beads. I’ve been making bracelets, arm jewelry, and waist jewelry, which can wrap around as a bracelet as well (quite versatile), for the last few years. I just got back to beading a couple days ago, for the first time since the seizures ended on 1/2/26. It seems to be good physical therapy for my hand, and I was shocked I did not drop very many stones. So while I’m moving slower, my hand is now working well enough to keep the process from being frustrating, AND is still so much fun!!! I keep improving little by little, and am really appreciating some of the activities that I am now able to do again 🌻🐲🙏🐲🌻 #crafting #glioblastoma #dowhatyoulove #silverlining
IT’S GO TIME!!! Now REST REST REST! This is what my guides have been chanting to me over the past couple of weeks. Being a warrior looks different depending on the battle.
My energy has been very low recently, and despite getting 10-12hrs of sleep each night, my body requires even more rest. Never forget to redefine our new realities & misunderstandings as we get to know ourselves better, and as our paradigms shift into a new reality.
This required rest is not weakness, it is the strategy required to win this war. I must listen to my body because I feel it is leading me in the right direction- towards healing. I feel how tired I am, so I must not ignore it.
My habit of trying to walk most days is NOT what my body needs right now, and I must let go of these definitions of “responsibility”, of “health”. We must learn to listen to our bodies, our intuition, and to go with the flow, otherwise we can get stuck doing & thinking things that no longer benefit us, which can turn harmful.
So, I’m not trying to control with my old strategies. I am listening to my body, my intuition, and am going with the flow. Don’t get it wrong, listening to our bodies & our intuition can be the most vulnerable and courageous thing we can do. #glioblastoma #just8joan #spirituality #shawdowwork #worksmarternotharder
Let go of allowing our self definition be what we “DO”. When depression creeps in, or menopause, or a life threatening diagnosis that prevents us from engaging in the activities we used to love- WHAT ARE WE LEFT WITH?!
I can’t dance, or work out, write (it’s getting better now☺️) or do much more than rest & protect my energy while I heal. For a while I lost any motivation, I even lost my curiosity, which is crazy cause I am the most curious person in the world. I know this is because my body had to focus on healing, but such an extreme loss of motivation was scary. When I began being interested in writing & reading again (although still challenging), it was a sign that my body was healing!!! Huge Silver Lining.
I started asking “who am I without these things I DO? I am JUST🌻JOAN, and that is enough”.
We are so much more than what we do, so we must have the deep conversation with ourselves. We do NOT give up. We must open our minds, think outside of the box, and start redefining things. If certain activities are not possible at this time, what other activities fuel our passion? My abilities and energy are pretty well suited right now for meditation, channeling, tarot, automatic writing- and I am having SO MUCH FUN doing it! My forced slowdown has made room for me to prioritize these activities, which is helping me find my path. I’ve had so many activities I’ve enjoy in my life, and the universe helping me discover where I’m going next.
So don’t hang on too hard to what we DO, because it can always change. We are enough just as we are- just knowing this helps battle depression. Take the opportunity at times like this to explore or rediscover new passion projects.
KNOW that an opportunity is being presented (especially during really hard times), something better than we could have imagined, so tap into curiosity & start exploring creative (whatever that means to you) passion projects. When things change in life, we can pivot, and keep FAITH that we are being drawn towards something even better. We will find it when we follow our passions & go with the flow. #glioblastoma #just8joan #silverlining #spirituality
Sunny and I worked together before I went off to law school and lost touch, which is the natural order of things as life moves on for people. She popped up on my social feed around February of 2025, and we shared messages reconnecting. Then I ended up in the hospital in July of 2025 with a Grade Four Glioblastoma brain tumor.
Sunny & her husband were sooooooo supportive, offering help while Justin and I were going back and forth to MD Anderson in Houston quite frequently. At the beginning, Sunny and I tried to get our chemo schedule together, she shared lots of helpful information about her experience, and we shared many messages of support for each other on this winding road. Along the way, she shared with me her “all time favorite quote” as inspiration.
Sunny, you have inspired so many, and your Warrior spirit moves along with us, continuing to guide us in this battle. I love you, and thank you🙏
We are sending so much love and strength to Sunny’s husband, sweet daughters , and entire family🙏
You can get your Make America Minneapolis swag at @makeamericaminneapolis , and thanks again @krevwon for doing all that you do.
EXISTING CAN BE RESISTING ❤️🩹💝💖 Spread your sparkle in ways that feel good. Share the LOVE☺️ #makeamericaminneapolis #glioblastoma #existingisresisting #sharethelove
Finding Lost Objects with a Pendulum! Wow, I’ve been looking for these pictures for weeks and the pendulum helped me find them. The accuracy of this is blowing my mind🤯 I spent so much time looking for these pictures and feeling so bad about losing them. Then it occurred to me to use the pendulum, and after asking several questions ( I did not include all of the questions I asked), I FOUND THE PICTURES and it took almost no time to do! Y’all, my life is changing permanently. Work smarter not harder - amiright?!!!🌻🐲🌻🐲🌻 #pendulum #lostandfound #spirituality #glioblastoma
Claircognizance = Clear Knowing
Aha’s that drop into our minds, giving us answers we were searching for. This is one of my strongest Claire’s, and I use it while automatic writing. I’ll journal a question that I am completely stumped by, then boom I’ll start writing, and by the end I almost always have the answer. The answer does not feel like an “I think” this is correct, the answer resonates within as a KNOWING. I no longer question the information because I know it to be true.
In my example while driving to work that day, it finally occurred to me that there is more than enough ugliness in the world, what we need is more joy & love. There are plenty of cause fighters who are well suited to get in there and fight the ugliness & corruption. The Mad Dog Joe Turner’s of the world ❤️ What we are a bit short on, however, is more light, joy, love, happiness etc.
A huge “aha” for me that day was that practicing law was not making me happy & it was time to find a way out, AND I redefined my understanding of “helping”. If we are engaging in what we love (dance, art, tarot, writing, jewelry making etc), things that bring people happiness, this IS HELPING people. We don’t have to be in there fighting if it does not feel good for our energy.
Creative art provides many avenues for resistance. For a lot of us, we are much better suited to be in spaces that are creative & joyful, as opposed to adversarial, and bringing light into the world is something that is sorely needed right now. #claircognizance #glioblastoma #spirituality #dowhatyoulove
Pendulum Practice- learning a new skill and connecting with our divination tool. Practice practice practice, strengthens our skill. We are all energy and everything is connected. As we practice with new tools we discover things we did not even know were possible, like when I discovered not long ago that I can use Tarot, with the help of the pendulum, to communicate with passed loved ones (not only with my guides/higher self).
I think that as my skills develop I will discover more efficient ways to communicate, but for now it makes sense to use the skills that are more developed to navigate this new area. I did not realize how much information could be gleaned from a pendulum, and a lot of it seems to be connected to asking the right questions. I’ll keep you updated if you want to practice with me☺️ #glioblastoma #spirituality #pendulum #tarot
Clairaudience- Clear Hearing. Often experienced mentally or externally, via your own voice or hearing another’s voice. High pitched ringing in one or both ears. Receiving messages through songs, music, or things that stand out in writing we are reading. All of these provide pathways for us to receive messages. We know when a message is ment for us because it will resonate. It could relate to something we were just thinking about, someone reaching out to us, or provide an “aha” from out guides/higher self giving insight. #glioblastoma #clairaudient #spirituality
