My Healing Notes

Healing from Cancer

Where do I begin?  Now that I must rebuild my body from the ravages of cancer – again.  Now that I am older.  Now that I am far from family and most friends.  I heard it (hearing that you have been diagnosed with cancer) described as a bomb going off in your living room.  I think that about sums it up.  That which was familiar looks . . . changed, altered.  Nothing feels good.

And yet, I still believe in healing.  I do believe there is power in believing.  Healing power in faith.  In God.  And I know how to heal, having done it once already.

I will begin again.

Remember to Celebrate

No matter how you feel, today remember a reason to celebrate. If you cannot think of a reason, then think of a special person and celebrate their life. Recently, I celebrated a friend’s birthday and remembered all of the wonderful things she has done in her life and how she has blessed mine. It made us both feel good, and started a cascade of blessings and good feelings that I hope will continue for a long time. Listen to her newest song, For Eternity, and join us in the celebration of her life and work. For Eternity by Rita dePetris Vallis
