Dear Cancer,
I think there is a couple things you should know, so pull up a chair and we’ll chat a bit.
Much of society considers you to be a death sentence, a horrible plague, a reason for panic and fear, and a reason to give up on life. Point number one – I am not like much of society.
I’ve thought about what it means to have you inside my body. I’ve thought about battling you, declaring war upon you, and eradicating you. I quickly realized that war creates a battlefield, something I’m not willing to declare my body. War creates hate, and struggle and a shutdown of communication. I’m not willing to create those things in my life because of you. Therefore, point number two – I love you. I choose love over hate, hope over fear , happiness over suffering. I am certain that you feel differently and that you want to engage me in this battle. I don’t accept your challenge. I choose to surround you with love and light, if this is something you cannot live with, then you can leave my body as I refuse to become your host and let you run me. You are in MY body, but I make the decisions, not you. Stay if you like or leave on your own, either way, I will not continue a lifestyle that promotes your growth. I will not hate you or declare war on you, but I will become a host of love and acceptance and peace and joy, if that is not hospitality you can accept, then you may leave. (Yes, I am fully aware that this is an environment that you cannot thrive or grow in. My body, my life, my power – I decided what’s good for me).
Thank you for the lessons you have taught me and the lessons I am still learning. Your presence has created growth and understanding in my life and caused me to refocus and re-prioritize my life and my purpose. You have given me greater cause to help others in empowering themselves in this circumstance and in other circumstances where they feel they are helpless and hopeless. I am stronger because of you. Thank you and goodbye!
