Thanks to everyone who reached out. It’s time for me to answer these questions. It’s been a horrible year, one crisis after another. The latest: This summer (during annual checkups) I was diagnosed with breast cancer. (heavy) 1/3 --- It was caught early. Prognosis is good. Surgery is done. Treatments start soon. So no, I’m not okay, but I will be. We’re facing it one step-at-a-time with grace and strength. 2/3 --- I’ll continue to be mostly offline for the coming months (during treatments). I plan to be back next year. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support. Hugely appreciated! All my best to each of you 🫶 3/3, Where Have I Been?, Tonya Mork, 01m50nnrkn1y6258ze91qwxkbj.
