| healing thoughts and prayers | August 31, 2009 @ 8:46pm |
Hi Everybody,
Our dear friend Wes Norman, and one of the biggest supporters of Radiant Vista and now TME is going in for bypass surgery tomorrow at 11AM central standard time. Wes is in great shape and in great spirits but he sure could use your prayers tomorrow for the best possible outcome for his surgery and for a speedy recovery.
Wes we love you and we are thinking about you and praying for you my friend. Can't wait for our Big Bend road trip in November!!!!.....Craig

| August 31, 2009 @ 8:55pm | Craig, thanks for informing the community about Wes' challenge. Since he's kept his physical body in great shape - except for the cholesterol - he'll pull through with flying colors, I'm positive. And I've been thinking about him during the day - he has my prayers for a speedy recovery.

| Wishing you a speedy recovery! | August 31, 2009 @ 9:09pm | Dear Wes,
How fortunate Usha and Craig insisted on taking you to the hospital to get checked out, and good, too, that you went to Wisconsin with Usha. We are all sending you healing energies and will be with you spiritually during your surgery tomorrow morning.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. You have get well quickly for your next workshop.
Are you going to get all the doctors and nurses to wear doo-rags?
Special hugs,
Lois

| Should be a breeze..... | August 31, 2009 @ 9:30pm | Best to you Wes.
I do not know you personally, but I believe that anyone associated with "The Mindful Eye" for awhile, has learned a certain process of introspection which forces us to examine all aspects of our lives in a positive way to make us more creative. In other words, it helps make us whole and productive. This introspection, along with the support of ones close to you and the entire Mindful Eye community, should make tomorrow a breeze.
I hope my observations will prove rewarding.

| Hi Wes, | August 31, 2009 @ 10:12pm | | I'm sorry to hear you will have to go through by-pass surgery. Last spring my husband had emergency by-pass, and he looks and feels better than he has in a long time. He was a good patient, did everything they told him to do and had a good attitude the whole time. I heard him tell someone last week that it wasn't so bad. It seemed a little serious to me, but who am I to argue with the one who who really knows how it felt? I'll be thinking of you. Best wishes, Karol (Jekyll Workshop) |

| LOVe, laughter, and healing energies | August 31, 2009 @ 11:09pm |
Hey Y'all,
Just talked to Wes. We spent a good ten minutes laughing and cutting up on the phone... needless to say he is in the best possible state of mind for the surgery and for an amazing recovery.
He sends his gratitude for all the well wishes.
Like a lot of people here I feel totally blessed to be able to call Wes a friend. Can't wait to see him in action after the blood flow to his heart is restored to 100%. None of us are going to be able to keep up!!!
We love you Wes..... Craig

| get well | August 31, 2009 @ 11:18pm | Wes
I was with you at Death Valley last year. You are a person I will never forget!
I just want to tell you that I have open heart surgey 10 years ago and since then have felt fantastic. Your positive attitude will, I am sure, carry you through this surgery with "no sweat".
My heart goes out to you.
I believe you were signed up for the upcoming Big Bend workshop. I have no doubt that you will be able to attend and to bring lots of joy to the workshop just as you did when we attended the Death Valley workshop.
I really look forward seeing you in Texas and we can then compare scars.

I'll be in DC on 9/20 and will drop in to see you.
Best, and a speedy pain-free recovery to you!

| From Onnie | September 1, 2009 @ 8:22am | Good morning, Wes, dear friend:
I talked to Onnie last night and she said to tell you that she is thinking of you and sending lots of strong prayers your way. She's only "met" you on the phone but feels that she knows you, too.
It was great talking with you last night. I'm so glad you are feeling good about this. You are just going to run us ragged after your recovery!!! Can't wait to see you.
Anyway, big hugs from Onnie.
Love you -- Marti
For others' information: Onnie is a dear friend who took care of my doggies for years when I traveled.
