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

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!

Finally the Answer to Cancer!!

Finally the answer to Cancer!!
After my own healing from cancer, I finally have a complete understanding of 'it', 5 years later.
I attended an information meeting last night and am absolutely delighted about what I learned! It all makes perfect sense to me. And FINALLY the coming together of like-minded people to discover the answer was discovered YEARS AGO! Here it is........are you ready?...
I am going to tell you the short story of it.
SUGAR FEEDS CANCER!!!
It is that simple. I heard that before but didn't completely understand it.
I even wrote about little bits and pieces of this in my book, but didn't understand it completely because I didn't really know what cancer was.
I know I was totally in fear and I didn't want to study 'cancer' even when they told me I had it because I didn't want my mind to believe something I didn't want to believe.
As I went through my own healing, I did modify my diet somewhat. I always ate quite healthy (but I am by no means perfect in this area or any other). I included more vegetables like kale, swiss chard and spinach.
I did stop eating sweets, even though I DO indeed have a sweet tooth.
I cut way back on anything that had wheat in it.
And of course I released all the rage I had been suppressing and then surrendered to depression that plagued me my entire life.
I am going to write more about what I learned another day as I have some things to attend to that I have been procrastinating about. So stay tuned.

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
