While at university, I had an opportunity to visit Canada. The vastness and beauty of its nature was beyond breathtaking, unimaginable! Those glacier-covered mountains and turquoise lakes stole my heart and melted my spirit. Irreversibly! The freshness and expansiveness that I felt was so overwhelming, like nothing I had ever experienced. My soul already knew that this was going to be the land for my new and different life.
Establishing my Canadian dream, however, was not all that rosy. I got myself into a situation, which did not honor my fullest integrity and caused me to suffer in silence. My severely suppressed emotions soon manifested in my body as cancer, at only 24 years old! Despite the fearful diagnosis and frightening treatment plan, I made a courageous decision to refuse any conventional approach and took full responsibility into my own hands. Rather than fearing and fighting cancer, I instead became grateful for it. To me, it represented a strong call for change. I deeply cared to hear what this dis-ease wished to communicate and then acted upon it. Once the cancerous situation got removed, my body naturally responded with its own healing.
