Nothing could ever adequately prepare you to receive a diagnosis of cancer, but when you do, you know instantly that your life has been irrevocably changed. You take up arms and go into battle, not against the disease, but for your life. This "Little Book" is a collection of the lessons I learned while facing my own personal challenge with cancer and what I know to be true.

Chapter One

Find your Own Way

"If a little dreaming is dangerous, The cure for it is not to dream less, But to dream more, To dream all the time." Marcel Proust

* * *

Look in the mirror. Who are You? Not your title, earnings, or profession, not your role as parent, child, or sibling. Independent of all outside connections, do you know you? Do you understand who you are, what place you occupy in the space of your life?

Very often we become trapped in someone else's concept or image of who we are, what is acceptable or reasonable for us to reach, who we can become, or what heights we can attain. How often have we heard the word "No"? It was one of the first words we learned and it seems, more often than not, we skew our dreams and visions from others telling us, no it's not possible, or no, not yet - maybe in 10 or 20 years.

We become chained to the expectations of others. We become accustomed to the weight of those chains and forget the freedom of flight in our dreams. We worry if we don't do everything expected of us to make others happy, they may leave us. We worry we may be alone, unloved. We worry that we may be seen as selfish if we follow our dreams.

In reality, we are only tied by the chains which we allow to bind us. Don't keep your gifts a secret in your dreams. Live the dream of what it means to honestly be who you truly are. If it lives in your soul, then you must birth your dreams. This is your life. When you take your last breath, you want to honestly know that you lived the life of your dreams.

You are not a muddied puddle of water commonly seen and easily defined. You are an ocean of untapped possibility, of immense depth and breath, and intense power.

Get in touch with those dreams that live in your heart. Find the courage to live those dreams out loud. You may not be rich, but the richness of finding your own way will sustain you. Remember, when you are honestly living your dreams the Universe will provide you with what you need. Ask that the doors be open to you. The individuals who will support and assist you are on the other side of these doors waiting and smiling with open arms.

Chapter Two

Ask For What You Need and Want For Your Life

"Knock and it shall be opened unto you" Mathew 7:7

* * *

My father was a quiet man. He only gave me two pieces of advice:

#1 - If you are in a diner and there is only one piece of cake left, don't eat it; it's old. Ask for a piece of fresh cake. On the surface, this seems like pretty simple advice, but when you think about it, it really is sound advice about life - don't take whatever is left over. Ask for, and expect that you can have, what you want: the best. That may mean a fresh slice of triple chocolate cake or it may mean not allowing yourself to settle for something second rate. What is your heart's desire? Don't accept less.

#2 - My father told me, if there's something you want or need ask; the worst someone can say is no and they may just say yes. We are so concerned about asking a question for fear of looking stupid.

How often do we get lost? Asking for directions can get us back on track. Sometimes our request for what we need is denied. Very often, but not always, the answer is yes.

Have the confidence to ask for help or assistance. There's nothing worse than not asking and finding out later that your request would have gladly been granted. It's your life. Don't just sit there and watch opportunities drift by.

Know yourself well enough to know what you need. Don't accept less, and when you need to, ask for help. No one else can read your mind. It is important to voice your wants and desires. When we express our Self to Spirit, we open ourselves to receive.

Chapter Three

Trust Your Intuition

"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." The Prophet

* * *

Intuition is a direct perception of your internal truth. Without effort, you reach inside yourself to touch the insight that patiently waits for you there.

Know when you are going against your true nature, your inner self. When it feels "wrong", somehow unsettling, it becomes hard work and requires extra energy. You have to sell yourself on the idea.

When you find yourself in this position, ask yourself, "Is this what I really want to be doing? Is this where I truly belong?" Quiet your mind, center yourself in your heart, and know that the heart never lies. Listen and the answer will come to you quietly. You may be tempted to debate the answer - don't. Accept that your inner self has communicated with you for your highest good.

You may want to ask others for their opinion, to hear their advice for you. That's fine, if it helps you settle in your heart where you need to be, but remember you know yourself better than anyone Intuition is a sacred journey you take with yourself to the center of your being. It requires a path paved with faith. Open completely to your knowledge. There is a diamond at the center of your being that is pure beauty and knowledge which lights your way. Unearth that diamond and watch it sparkle in the sun light.

That brilliance is you.
