Breathing. Being. Knowing _/\_
Remaining still throughout the chaos is hard work but remembering to breathe is the key. Knowing you are held from within provides another breath in, another breath out. Repeat.
The following is how I articulate my lived experiences with cancer, my body, my mind, my soul and my process of working hard to mindfully live my truth with gratitude, kindness and compassion.
Limitless Spaces
Remembering how to breathe through my storms. Remaining connected to my breath.
How She Speaks to You Matters
I think about my body previous to cancer and I wonder if she knows how much she was appreciated. I know I had told her this, in more recent times, but I also know I spent most of our time together shaming her and making her feel insignificant and unacceptable.
Me and My Knowing
Days before talking with the doctor, I remember feeling the words “surrender and accept” penetrate my bones and my core. I knew in that moment there was more I would be sitting with.
Yours Not Mine
…”I’m tired of others who are not living within my skin walls and cannot hear my heart beating within her own rhythms, telling me what is going to happen to her. She is fragile in moments of deep sorrow. She digs deeply into all her moments to believe she has the permission she needs to exist, to continue to be here, to believe she should still dream about the possibilities she once felt were within her reach.”
