Behind the Scenes Gratitude Love
🙏 MY BEHIND THE SCENES GRATITUDE LIST BELOW and counting... )🙏
There is so much that no one tells you when you are diagnosed and treated for a life-threatening illness. And I suppose it kinda has to be that way; to stay as present as possible to carefully choose and live each baby step along the way. Especially when you know better than to just listen to what others tell you to do, including doctors, and refuse to operate or choose from fear! It's an inward journey that takes patience, Presence, and deep listening to the body, heart, and soul.
And choosing what feels right within; a choice unique and perfect for each of us.
So, I never expected breast cancer recovery taking almost 2 years. But I also never expected to be GRATEFUL for it. ALL of it. And that has taken a LOT of time as well.
I certainly didn’t do it alone. I would never have gotten through it without so many people that were part of various phases of this journey.
It goes without saying that my heart is full of the deepest gratitude for Billy who never left my side, and my family, immediate and extended, who bent over backward to make sure I was cared for in EVERY sense of the word. Words will never even begin to express my thanks for all of the donations that continue to help with my crazy medical bills and holistic treatments. And probably most important the prayers, calls, emails, love, and support.
But I would also like to thank here other essential, powerful, amazing individuals behind the scenes, that saved my life in so many different ways, helping me not give up hope, and keep taking steps forward one small breath at a time.
(I will be adding to this list as more pop into my awareness)
