Forest Heights Pollinator Patch @ForestPatch

I literally owe my life to science and to an army of incredible health care workers who make this bearable, all when you are under tremendous added pressure because of Covid. Your kindness shines through every time I walk into the hospital. With all my heart: Thank you

But I have hope. I am living and loving life with my daughters, my partner, my family and friends. My wish is that this also gives hope to others facing this miserable disease. More time is the greatest gift.

I try not to dwell on the uncertainty and focus on each day. On THIS day, I am the luckiest, happiest, person in the world. Yes, the treatment is tough, but it is worth it. Here's the thing, we all have to face our mortality one day. I just face it every day.

The medium efficacy of one of the pills I am on is about 2.5 years but some women have been on it for 5 years and continue to thrive. My goal is to be one of them. The hope is that another treatment will be developed by the time this one stops working.

But here is the other side of my reality, the side that is tougher to share: no one knows how long this treatment will be effective. Cancer is a nasty and sneaky disease, at some point the treatment will likely stop working.

It's good news!! I've been on a clinical trial that involves daily chemo. My latest scan shows one tumor is so small it can't be seen. The other is too small to measure. I am so grateful. Honestly the news for me just doesn't get better than that. I'm not dying. I'm living.

My daughter recently said to me "Mom you can never die. I need you." It startled me and I realized I needed to do more to reassure her, and many others, who have been fearing the worst since I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just over a year and a half ago.

This was my worst nightmare: that I'd die before I had launched my children. Even now, Cynthia, with 2 kids on the spectrum, preparing them for my eventual demise is hard AF. Sending love and hugs from a mom who is crying while typing this to you.

Like when people find a good source of beer... 🤔

I want to be clear, I don’t blame the assistant. I do, however, blame @globalnewsto for not training their entry level staff better. “Don’t platform extremists/conspiracy theorists/antisemites/etc” should be part of their standard journalistic code of conduct. /5

Tomorrow: not a "mtn bike thing" or a "beer drinkin' thing" (although you can do both) as much as a community thing, an outdoor and family fun thing. Don't forget the bug spray:

Consumers can now drop off their used can carriers at 47 verified taprooms or retail outlets throughout #Vermont. Plans are also laid for dozens more to join the popular #reducereuserecycle model known as the “Reusiverse” in the coming months. ecofriendlybeer.com/11-new-locatio…

They were looking for other life forms in the infinite space. Little did they know there were infinitesimal life forms that they had never seen before. The planet they offended could contain very beautiful and creative life forms.

Stylish AND eco-friendly. 💯

We've got a great line-up of beers on draught this weekend - stop by for a pint or a growler fill 🍻 OPEN: Saturday 11am-8pm Sunday 11am-4pm 🍻

Our hearts are shredded with grief. Michael Daniel Lledo was born on April 13, 2022. After fighting — so hard — for 10 days to be a part of this little family, he passed away peacefully in our arms early this morning.

There will be some available for purchase at the brewery on Sunday during our Pollinator Panel!! Just a few tickets left: shop.twbbrewing.com/product/Pollin…

We'll sanitize and reuse them! As an FYI - making PCR plastic uses 90% less energy, 100% less petroleum, & emits 78% fewer greenhouse gasses than "new" plastic. Since 2012, PakTech has repurposed over 730 million gallon-sized milk jugs into new packaging - 96 million pounds!

We've tried allll the can carriers & decided to go with the PakTech option: sturdy and reusable! And they're made of post-consumer recycled plastic! Be sure to save your carriers (4 & 6 can versions in any colour) & bring them them in the next time you stop by for beer!! ♻️
