i got the grant!!!
i spoke with the executive director of the samfund this morning. and she was happy to tell me that i was chosen as one of the grantees for this year! she said there were so many applications that they had to turn down 75% of the applicants. but that my story was so compelling they wanted to reward me with a grant!!
so, they will pay for a year's worth of yoga, as much physical therapy as i need post-mastectomy, and a year's worth of car insurance!
so.awesome.
check out the samfund's website and pass the word on about how GREAT they are.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
