My publisher and I have decided to change the title of my book from "HELLO SUSAN, IT'S ME, CANCER!"…to "GUIDED TO WISDOM", mainly because when I revised it and added 4 new chapters the book was no longer about 'cancer' but more about the emotional journey that led to my healing without the use of chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy. It is more about the challenges in life and as we move through them, (or not) i.e. depression, not having what we want, feeling stuck, etc, we begin to gain wisdom and power to truly live the lives we love. This book is a guide for getting out of the life that doesn't  feed our soul into one that does. Please feel free to write a review for my book on Amazon, Chapters/Indigo or Promontory Press. I really appreciate the comments about this book as when I began to write it I didn't know how to write a book, my attitude, anger and candid approach opens into a very honest vulnerable and powerful story. I hope you enjoy the read. 
Sincerely, Susan  

Riding The Wave

Whoa...it's been a while since I have last blogged! Life has been changing very rapidly it seems and as I type those words I realize just how amazing this journey is. I know I am creating my life every day and it has come to my attention lately how negatively I have been thinking the past while.
It seems I have allowed my negative thoughts to rule once again. I have been plagued by this negative thought process for years. Even though I have done tons of emotional releasing of the past, I have forgotten to keep my mind focused on what I want instead of what I don't want. So today I remind myself to imagine my life as I wish it to be. I have created a beautiful life up til now and it came from keeping my mind focused on BEING happy and feeling happy. I remember the years I struggled with depression, most of my life in fact.
The simple answer is; think good thoughts.
Yesterday I got the idea of the mind being in two parts, the childlike part that wants to dream and have fun and the grown up part that worries and is afraid of what 'might happen', (worst case scenario, of course). The childlike part of the mind seems bright and happy while the grown up part seems to be dark and sad. I think I will let the childlike part come out and play for a while. Maybe I needed to allow 'the dark side' to show up so I could see how icky it feels and then smarten up and lighten up. It's my choice how I feel, it took me a long time to realize this. I choose to look at all the blessings in my life, friends, family, work that I love, a roof over my head and food in my tummy. If life is what we make it, I choose to turn over a new leaf and remember I matter, I deserve good things to happen in my life and I AM worth it!
Sincerely, Susan

Signs Signs Everywhere a Sign...

Have you ever noticed something and then realized you have been noticing that thing enough times that you noticed you were noticing it?
Sometimes that is a 'sign' that is being conveyed by our higher self to give us a hint or to show us the way of our path.
What we may not know is that we can ask for a 'sign' in order for us to get some validation or confirmation.
A friend of mine wanted validation about something and her and I were hiking up a mountain the following day, so she asked that her 'sign' be 2 feathers.
So up the mountain we went, we came upon a tree where others had put little tokens, there were stones, charms, feathers etc all attached to this tree. There were more than one feather and she thought maybe it was her 'sign'. As we walked further, almost at the end of the hike laying on the mud were two tiny pure white feathers. We looked at the feathers as we walked by and she turned to me and said, "Did you see that"? I indeed did. After contemplating what she had seen she decided to go back and pick them up. These were her validation or 'sign'. Now we could say "ya well we were in the forest on the mountain, there is BOUND to be birds and feathers..." or we could choose to believe.

Another time, a client was wondering how she would know what to do about a situation she was involved in. I explained about asking for a 'sign'. Earlier in the session she wondered if a word she was thinking of was 'really a word'. I brought out a dictionary and we discovered it 'was a word', because it was in the dictionary. She wanted some kind of confirmation about the situation she was involved in. I asked her what 'sign' she wanted to see as that confirmation. She thought that seeing a 4 leaf clover would be her 'sign'. Unbeknown to her the dictionary I had pulled out earlier had about 25 four leaf clovers in it because I seem to find them effortlessly and after finding them I don't really know what to do with them so I put them on the inside cover of this large hard cover dictionary. When I opened the dictionary and showed her all the 4 leaf clovers she seemed a little surprised. She thought she would actually be finding the 4 leaf clover herself. Sometimes it happens quickly and it can come in a way that is not how we thought it would show up. The choice is always ours whether we choose to believe or not.
Me, I believe.
Love Susan

How would our life be different?

How would our lives be different if we lived from our fullest potential?
Sometimes when I think about this I imagine my life in the future and everything would be perfect.
But if I really was living my life from my fullest potential, maybe my life would be just the way it is today, with all my thoughts and judgements about myself and others and the beliefs that don't really make any sense when I speak them outloud. Along with that, my regrets and the distrust in people in general and how about the fear to really 'be seen' because of what everyone else must be thinking about me.
What if we were to live our fullest, best life right now today with all this stuff going on around us and knowing we aren't perfect and our lives aren't perfect...
OR...on the other hand what if we were perfect just the way we are and we are living our lives to the fullest potential every day and it's OK just the way it is. What if we could just relax and accept ourselves for who we are and believe we are doing the best we can every day, and we could just let our lives live through us without trying to control it. What if it was perfect with all the imperfections?
I am willing to accept my life and myself just the way things are.
Acceptance is FREEDOM! Susan

I never thought about this too much before but as I walked along the beach this morning a realization came through me.
That anger does not always go hand in hand with being mean spirited.
I think I had a belief that an angry person meant a mean person. Even a person who showed anger also must have a mean streak, I thought.
I have done alot of emotional clearing, myself, about anger. Growing up, my dad was angry alot, he raged alot and he was mean spirited. I was terrified of him, especially when I was a little girl.
Now, as I facilitate emotional release healing for others, I can totally see that being mean and angry don't always go together. It never dawned on me until this morning that possibly in my heart I carried that fear about myself. In the past I have had a tendancy to have a bit of an angry side or maybe it could be said, quick to anger (read more about this in my book http://www.healingeverybody.com/). I wonder...have I been mean too? Something I will sit with. Also, guess what? I can still get pretty roaring angry. When we clear out the emotional baggage, all the emotions still pass through us. They just don't get stuck inside us anymore. It's kind of fun to feel that energy pass through. But guess what else? I don't take it out on anyone anymore. No blaming someone else for my anger. I can just feel rip roaring angry about something and then I can just let it go. For me, this is called FREEDOM. Susan

Good morning,
Today is my birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEE!!!!
So many things come to mind to share. How about this one, yesterday I am reminded about this phrase that came to me years ago as I awoke one morning.
" Why do we try so hard to fit in, when we are meant to stand out"?
As a teenager I knew I wasn't like everyone else. I didn't have a desire to party or to be really social. I loved to ride my horse either alone or with my friend. Now, I realize how I AM different and I am OK with that. I am not one to follow along just because everyone else does. This includes the medical system's way of doing things. I like to be different now, and I do what feels right for me. I have connected with my inner guidance, and it is a strong connection. We all have access to it and mine became very strong while I was going through my healing of what they call breast cancer. It really taught me to do only what felt right to do and not do what didn't feel right to me. I didn't ask anyone else for advice or opinion. Well, maybe I asked a close friend, the odd time, when I felt really down and out.
I have been real busy with the final tweaks on the printed version of my book, Hello Susan, It's me, Cancer! How to LIVE without Chemotherapy, Radiation or Hormone Treatments.
All for now. Have a great day. Because, you know, it's my Birthday!!

Eat fruit on an empty stomach

Received an email this morning from a friend.It was about eating fruit on an empty stomach.It reminded me of when I read 'Fit For Life' by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. If we eat fruit on an empty stomach it detoxifies the body, supplying us with energy for weight loss and other activities.If we eat fruit after or with other foods the fruit ferments and spoils in our system, because it cannot get to our intestines. This is the perfect place for bacteria to grow causing our bodies to become acidic and the perfect condition for cancer.
All fruits turn alkaline in our bodies when eaten on an empty stomach so don't worry about the fruit being acidic or alkaline, according to Dr Herbert Shelton. Eating fruit on its own will strengthen our immune system.
So I am now going to eat an orange on an empty stomach. Susan

Hello my name is Susan. I used alternative and natural methods to heal from breast cancer four and a half years ago and am healthy, happy and I feel good.
No after effects, no regrets in the way I dealt with it. I want to share my story of healing to inspire and show we can heal from this they call breast cancer. I feel we need to address the physical body, the emotional, the spiritual, as well as the mind. Disease shows up in us for a reason, it's to get our attention. Our job is to find out what our body is telling us and what we need to change in our lives to heal. www.healingeverybody.com
