Appleton and Green Bay Wisconsin were hosts to The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events over the weekend.  There were the hundreds of attendee’s present, so I decided to dedicate this show to them.

The range of emotions at the events were staggering, and I’m not talking about just survivors! Some people were pumped, excited, heralthy, vibrant and therefore grateful to participate. I also talked with people who were tired and weary fr om treatment, or heartbroken and doing all they could to keep themselves together.  In short, I remebered all those feelings and was brought back to my early days of diagnosis, post treatment and cancer survivorship.  

The American Cancer Society invited me to participate in the Making Strides events because of my 1,000 Cancer Survivor Stories project; as a result I met some amazing people with amazing stories.  You can read about some of them in the Survivor Diaries.

All About Spirit has created a platform where survivors, and those who walk with us on our journeys, are given a safe place share their story, and participation in our project to helps them heal. If you want more information you can check it out at All About Spirit.

Doing this work, I find people like to talk about:
• Personal strength
• Deepening relationships
• Happy endings
• Returning to life as it was before

I lived it so I can offer a safe place for people to be real.  Because I provide safe space this is what I get to hear people talk about:

• Fear of the unknown
• Disappointment with life
• Feeling uncomfortable in their own skin
• Dealing with unanswered and unanswerable questions
• Frustration
• Anger and depression
• Fear of treatment ending
• Financial problems
• Needing to depend on others
• Celebrating in times of fear

Tune in if you’re looking for some ideas on how to find your way through the emotions we have a hard time talking about.

As always if you found this information helpful, your share’s and likes will help make these videos available to more people. Thanks for joining me on this journey and make it a great week!
