This Changes Everything
This Changes Everything: A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About | Tyler Merritt
1 post | 1 read
From the author of I Take My Coffee Black, a sobering, humorous memoir about learning to let go and embrace the sanctity of life after being diagnosed with Cancer. When Tyler Merritt was diagnosed with cancer, everything he thought he knew about what mattered in life changed. This Changes Everything is a humorous and optimistic love letter to this beautiful life. Though he made it through a highly invasive surgery and thought he was in the clear, Tyler soon realized that the cancer had other plans. It wasnt a question of if the tumor would come back for an encore, his doctors told him. It was a question of when. Laced with Tylers trademark humor, love of pop culture, and arguably too many musical theater references, This Changes Everything is a story about how wrestling with the idea of death can birth a whole new outlook on life, how we live it, and the urgency that comes when you grasp that time is a precious commodity.

1. Completing the first year of my spiritual direction program on Saturday! It‘s bittersweet since a few classmates won‘t be continuing next year, and we‘re switching to online only (instead of hybrid). I won‘t get to walk by this beautiful church spire any more on my way to class each month, but it gave me joy on Saturday!
2. Taking a long walk at the park with a friend—and we saw goslings!
3. Audio-puzzling with the tagged book ⤵️

Daisey Strawberry lemonade mules . . . I may need more details, and as strawberry season starts here, I may need to infuse some vodka. 🍓 3d

BarbaraJean @Daisey Yes! This is the strawberry vodka recipe:
Put strawberry tops in a jar (leaves & all!) and cover with vodka. Leave on counter for two days, then strain into a clean vessel & store in fridge or freezer. It will last a couple weeks in the fridge & longer in the freezer.
And my mule recipe:
Over ice, add:
1/4 of a large Meyer lemon (squeeze juice in, then throw in the peel and all)
4 T strawberry vodka
1 small can ginger ale (7.5 oz)
Enjoy!!

AlaMich This cocktail sounds amazing!! 3d
Daisey Thanks! I picked strawberries last night and will be truing this (or slightly modified with what I have available). 2d
BarbaraJean @Daisey I hope you enjoy it! I was amazed at the strawberry vodka—I was skeptical about using just the strawberry tops, and it turned out wonderfully. 2d
