Appreciation Celebration: The Radical Approach to Healing
Sometimes healing and changing our lives can feel so overwhelming. We read or see all the things we need to do. Sometimes I feel like I could drown under a big sea of healing things, or get crushed by a book avalanche of all the as-yet-unread healing books! A few years ago I was struggling with this but my (wise, kind) husband said something which really helped to put it into perspective for me – We need to acknowledge and celebrate all the healing things we are doing right now!

From Sick Chick To Trail Blazer: My Story
When I was 22 the doctor told me that he thought I had sarcoma, bone cancer. I was terrified. Everything spun in double time. I desperately longed to rewind. One of my friends had sarcoma, so I knew about the illness and the grueling rounds of chemo. I’d had friends die from cancer. I’d been living myself with serious illness for many years already.

I Was, Now I Am: From Fear To Liberation
I was a sick chick and now I’m a wellness trailblazer. I was defined by my diagnoses. Now I’m redefining what it means to live and work with chronic illness.

That liberation is my happy ending…and a magical…
