It's All Good

Cancer is nothing if not a fast-lane course in what is important and how a life course can be altered for the better. After stomping away mad from the Huntsman Cancer Institute, I did some (more) reading and research.

In quick succession I read Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston, Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips by Kris Carr, and the China Study by T. Colin Campbell PhD. These books present compelling facts and information regarding our modern day diets and cancer.

Many of you would agree with my doctors in saying that these notions are silly putty. But I don't believe they are. They resonate as complete truth to me. In the time frame of about a week, I have gone from vegetarian (once you read Kathy Freston's book you'll go there too) to vegan (the China Study) to some percentage of raw diet mixed with vegan (Kris's book).

I feel much better actually in terms of energy and several low level physical complaints that I had have now hit the road. There is no doubt that this will become a lifestyle for me. I am resolute and will not change my mind. Thank goodness for my daughter Liz, who has been a vegetarian for nearly 10 years. She has become my rock in this.

I appreciate Huntsman for the push they gave me. As we already know, it's all good no matter how it seems at the time.

I recommend that everybody digest each of these books. Share Kris's with somebody you know who has cancer or some other long-term or debilitating illness. Share the China Study with anybody that you care about.

I Own My LIfe

I'm currently reading Kathy Freston's book, "Quantum Wellness." I'm amazed by the way she presents this life changing information in such a refined and subtle way. Instead of trumpeting, she whispers truths that you instantly know are true. I highly recommend this book for anybody.

She wisely says, "We are all wounded in some way. We each have a sacred soft spot, the thing that cuts to the bone and gets our attention and forces us to awaken to our deeper selves, For some it is illness, while others it is constant drama in our relationships. But as I see it, the purpose of our lives is to grow and awaken to the most powerful potential that is seeded within us, and our most sacred mission is to apply our focus to getting unstuck where we feel stuck."

Maybe this explains why, as the days go by and I get used to having cancer, I feel empowered, strong, and wide open to whatever comes. Maybe not peaceful yet, but strong and ready for what the days ahead dish out.

It's a gorgeous day here in Utah and I'm going to do something fun.
