HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED WCT’s ART IN THE ALLEY?
One of my favorite memories is from the spring of 2018- thecensoredartist and I embarked on a mural-painting adventure during downtown Greensburg’s Arts Walk. We watched the town light up with zeal as people emerged from winter’s hibernation, welcoming the sunshine and celebrating the arts. Painting felt like a dance, and on concrete walls we planted bold flowers in candy-coated, vibrant hues.
I cherished and savored every second of that day. I was set to begin chemotherapy just five days later and wore a large scarf to hide the bandages and soreness from my port insertion that happened a day prior. I had told very few at that point in time, perhaps in fear of being a burden, perhaps in fear of disrupting the normalcy that had felt destined to be extinguished, and perhaps because I knew that in accepting a new reality, I would be forced to part with a version of myself who I had just begun to learn to love.
...but as we painted, none of what was to come seemed to matter. I felt alive. I felt 26, unsinkable, and so connected to our community… protected by friendship and love and the power of expression. It’s funny to see images of “past Stacey” preparing for an unknown that “current Stacey” has experienced and now reflects on through memories. The highs. The lows.
I celebrated a milestone this week- my implanted port that was used to deliver chemo was removed on Wednesday. The nurses in interventional radiology surprised me in the recovery room with a gorgeous slice of celebratory cake… adorned with sprinkles in the same vibrant hues as the garden that Sarah and I painted. I am forever touched by every act of kindness and love I`ve been fortunate enough to have received - from the art community, the medical community, my Macy`s family, my parents, my dear friends, other survivors who have shared their knowledge and insight... You are all vibrant flowers. And I will do everything I can to pay it forward.

Easy miles today, exploring Art in the Alley. It was so cool! I’ve been wanting to check this out for awhile, but normally don’t feel so leisurely or have so much extra time after a run. I’m enjoying the taper (gasp!) and celebrating all that I’ve accomplished this training cycle! #marathontaper #phillymarathon #wctsartinthealley
Last weekend I had the joy of seeing my best friend`s Art in the Alley in Greensburg, PA.
She is absolutely amazing and I`m so proud of her being able to pursue her passion and create such amazing art. Check her out at thoughtsinpaint.com
