Spreading hope and empowerment

Exactly a week after launching my book, The Grace of Cancer, I am celebrating a victorious launch. My book is Best Seller on Amazon, and wow, have you read all of the 5 star reviews from early readers!? I thank you so much for taking the time to write such thoughtful and heartfelt reviews - I love each and every one of them.

As we are all forced to stay home, most of us have this strong desire to make sense, or understand the purpose, of what is going on with our world. In the end, we may become frustrated by this pursuit because there really is no proper answer. You may be asking, Why do horrible things happen? Who is to blame for this? Why did we not act fast enough? Then there’s the myriad of explanations floating around that fuel our fear, hatred, longing for vengeance, or regrets that we didn’t act fast enough.

Let me say this to you, my friends - identify what is out of your hands, out of your control. Perhaps this is a good time to start journaling. A time for you to free your mind of any toxic and disempowering thoughts that could lead you in a spiral of regret and perhaps even depression.

Please allow me to offer some comfort by sharing with you my own experience during THE hardest and most heartbreaking breaking moment in my life - the day I was given a death sentence of 6 months.

With the Coronavirus, I can’t help but to take the same approach as I did after given my diagnosis and prognosis. I turn to the bible and my favorite Greek philosophers for comfort. I have been thinking of Jeremiah, who, after hearing that the city that he loved most (Jerusalem) had been destroyed by the Babylonians, chose not to turn to anger -- although anger would have been understandable, it is certainly not helpful!

We should keep him in mind, especially with these current events. It is so easy to get enraged when awful things happen. I am not saying we should pretend nothing bad is happening, but instead, choose to focus on understanding the situation... rather than give way to rage and despair.

I was able to heal from cancer because I chose to focus on educating myself and empowering my mind and body, rather than longing for vengeance that would have only led me to the depths of depression. Thankfully, God and the Universe gave me the strength to not go down that path.

So today, I would like to do my part to keep spreading that hope, inspiration, and belief that this too, like the cancer that was in my body, will pass. Please join me in this journey, leading people to a more conscious, intentional, healthier, happier, and thriving life that we all crave.

I’m extending the $0.99 ebook price on my new book, The Grace of Cancer, through March 31st, so that anyone who needs help in empowering their mind and body are supported because that is how I won over the disease. We need this message more than ever during this pandemic, so I decided that everyone should be able to access my book inexpensively.

I am sending you and your families love, and my deepest wishes of good health. Stay well, stay positive, don’t give up on hope, and keep BELIEVING!
