The Glorious "All Clear"!

As far as miracles go, I've experienced my share of them...There was the car accident in Florida that I never should have survived, much less walked away from (BIG credit to my Guardian Angels on that one!) as well as countless other slightly less dramatic, but no less potentially fatal events. Then, in 2011 my first bout with triple negative breast cancer was too big, too dramatic, and too potentially lethal to forget. The miracle of coming through it was one of the greatest blessings of my life.

But, when my breast cancer re-emerged last fall, it almost felt like my miracle had been taken away from me...little did I realize at the time, that an even greater miracle was in the works. 

First, despite my rather grim prognosis back in November of Stage IV metastatic triple negative breast cancer, I managed to come through a difficult thoracic surgery with ease. Then, testing revealed that the surgery was a complete success and that there is now NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE in my body!

But my miracle didn't stop there!

This week's visit to Boston confirmed that I am healing beautifully with no complications AND (this is the BEST part!!) I'm doing SO well that no further treatment is necessary!! No radiation, no nasty chemo - just frequent check ups and scans! Very unexpected and welcome news!! Two years from Jan, 2013 will be my first big marker - and I plan to sail past it!!

Can I hear a collective WHOO HOO?!!!!

When I left for Boston, I left with the intention that Dr. Sugarbaker would confirm my Inner Knowing that no chemo was necessary and that there was no evidence of disease. I fully expected that radiation was a given. Yet, when I made my intention, I threw in my customary - "this or something better" - because I know that we (as earth-bound humans) have a rather limited view of all the existing possibilities, whereas God can always come up with something heavenly to surprise us with ;). Well...I got my heavenly surprise!! Another miracle! I'm ready to move on!!!

So...now it's about continuing to heal, and remembering all the lessons I've learned (not that I'm done learning new ones!). 

There's so much I want to share with the world!! I intend to share through my coaching, my writing (a couple of books are well under way, plus articles and blog posts of course!), my voice, acts of service, and most importantly - the example of my life. I intend to share what I share in a balanced way that does not compromise my self care, self love, self respect, or personal boundaries. And in fact, THAT is one of the most important lessons I want to share with others right now - without self love and the self care that stems from it - you have nothing. 

I am ready to assist those who desire it, to go from feeling like life is happening TO them and AROUND them, to being confident in knowing that they are the deliberate co-creators, with the Divine, of their own reality. Just look at my intentions...IT CAN BE DONE!!! And I am confident that I can assist anyone else who chooses it, to get there with their own intentions.

God has given me the blessings of TIME, health, wisdom, grace and gratitude. I choose to show my appreciation by sharing those gifts with as many other people as I can...and God, I am open to receiving any  other gifts and blessings you choose to send my way!

You'll see more progress now on updates to my websites, Facebook pages, LinkedIn, etc...as I slowly re-enter the professional world. I ask that you help me spread the word! Do you know someone who could benefit from my coaching? Is there a group that you think might benefit from hearing my message - as a speaker, or in a group coaching session? Are you looking for a unique take on a one-day in-service or retreat? Please let me know! My primary website is: www.IntentionalBliss.com.

Meanwhile, continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers, particularly prayers of gratitude for my healing, but also for strength, wisdom, and courage as I forge a new path forward. I am not only continuing to heal physically and emotionally from all that I've been through, but financially as well. It's been a year and a half since I've had a steady income of any kind. And although I have health insurance, there were expenses not covered - or not covered in full, there are loans to repay, and a lot of general everyday catching up to do!

And please keep reading my blog! I intend to keep it going with lots of insights and updates...in fact, share it with others if you feel inspired to do so! Soon I hope to have a e-newsletter as well.

So many ideas, inspirations, and ambitions! Do you ever feel that way? Tough to keep it in check sometimes, isn't it? But I intend to do so ;). Until next time...THANK YOU for all your love and support!

Bliss & Blessings!
