I can say with all sincerity that mindfulness and buddhism has had such an influence on my well being and my desire to share a life of love and compassion and it has perpetuated into a ball, like a giant snowball, descending and gathering speed getting bigger and bigger, I have picked up people like snowflakes, that have stayed with me and have guided me into fulfilling directions.
This phenomena (my word of the moment), continues all the time I 'let go' and don't over think situations and just be guided by what feels right and surrounding myself with those that feel like they belong with me on that journey.
Since my diagnosis, I have let go of all expectations of my future and have just followed like a meandering stream, where my heart takes me.
By doing this I have come across some beautiful people, it's almost like in the 'Matrix' when Keanu Reeves suddenly realises that everything in the world is Binary code. (well it's not quite like that but I am feeling full of mataphors this evening)!!
It's like everything has a message for me, to follow where my heart takes me and that is what Cancer has done for me. I am sure it has been said before by various people (cancer whisperer springs to mind and others) but Cancer has in effect enlightened me.
The amount of supplements that I am taking and turmeric and drinking water I have slowly come off of my anti depressants and am now 'freestyling' and I feel so on top of things and so energized and empowered. I now have a gentleman who is very interested in me (which seems like a miracle given my diagnosis) and I have 'actual' people who are interested in my business concept and ethos and want more of my products and want me to do talks and workshops, it is my passion and my passion is spreading and the people I have met are supporting me and want to help spread the word. I can't tell you how rewarding that is, to think that people want to learn about making their own environmentally friendly skincare, and who want to buy more of my products and who actually think they are great. I have to really sit down and make the most of this situation and focus on how this could work and perhaps as a collective we could make a difference to the skincare industry, and the environmental impact of packaging. Exciting times.
However, this morning I was a mess, I went to look for secondary schools for my daughter and I became emotional, the fear of not seeing her grow up is immense....but then this afternoon the smallest of deeds, an act of kindness from one of my customers turns my cancer filled world around and shows me a much bigger picture.
OM to that I say xxxxx
