Cancer Journey Opens Up Her Creativity & Intuition

My journey through cancer has taught me to nurture my own creativity. I spent my career nurturing other people's, but cancer has taught me to pay attention to my own voice, and to use it. I finally started writing my own book, and have put all my writing experience into an e-programme so that I am free to write! Now my intuition is my guide and not my head. I feel I've been given a second chance to use my own voice, and am discovering new and exciting ways in which I can speak up. I no longer feel cut off and isolated, but engaged and joyful about the things I have to say.

Amanda, my heart feels joyful that your healing journey is bearing such sweet fruit! I'm glad you're using your "secoond chance" so expressively. Your story reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Howard Thurman: "Don't ask what the world needs. Find what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive." Thank you for sharing your gift. Joyce

I too have found my voice/creativity from my journey through cancer. I have rediscovered the value of art in my life. After a long break from my passion, I am a painter again!
Someone asked if I paint for a living? I replied, no I paint to live!
I also have enjoyed sharing intuitive art making as a healing tool with other women who are/have experienced breast cancer. It is so rewarding for all of us.
