Two experiences of breast cancer in the last 10 years – two mastectomies; two sets of chemo and radiation
Blood markers at the beginning of 2015 four times higher than normal range; in October five times higher; all other tests normal; doctors unsure about what to do
House where I have been living for the past 14 years put up for sale by owner; facing open market and discovering that at my age I can’t afford either rent or mortgage of a reasonable space
My fledgling business screeches to an absolute stop; all promising movements suddenly disappear
Major de-cluttering of my ‘stuff’ and review of my life in the process – Questions around – After almost seven decades – What did I really achieve?
The above describes my life in the last few months.
It seemed that everywhere I turned I was facing The Void. The Question Mark. What to do?
First, shock and disbelief. Numbness. Then pulling myself together with the constant repetition of: You’ve been here before; you know what to do.
The challenge for me is contained in the message at the beginning of the post.
What would you do in that situation? Share with me in the comments below. I’d love to hear from you!
And stay tuned to find out more about how I am coping.
Quite frankly Cheryl your situation is quite similar to mine and many others who are experiencing parallel challenges.
i am intrigued by the fact that your post follows closely on the heels of my January Newsletter on Magnetic Levitation. Maybe it’s because I’ve known you for 40 years or because we share a common vision for OCV.
The solution to overcoming challenges lies in ‘riding the tiger’ by holding on to its ears and not letting go for anything in the world. Eventually the tiger will transfer all its energy to you and be tamed.
Letting go is not an option…

I obviously need to learn how to levitate!
This might be easier than holding on to the tiger?
Your Comments
Lady Cheryl it is so interesting that my January Newsletter is again about another aspect of levitation.
What you need to do is jump on the back of a tiger, hold it by its ears and ride it until it expends its energy and becomes subdued.
Don’t let go, mark you…
I sincerely hope this helps.

Interesting visual Boops! I have no intention of letting go!

Life is trying to tell you something. The key I think is to be STILL and listen. Yes these are major changes/challenges filled with uncertainty, but if you concentrate on them and direct/channel your energy into finding solutions you will miss the real answers. You need to be still and listen.
Excellent advice Sonjette. That is exactly what I have been trying to do. Hard.
It is challenging, yes, but challenging times are the vehicles that take us to new directions in life…to new and often more exciting places!
Over twenty years ago i was part of something special. You have been such an abundance of love and such a bright light to many. You are the answer to your own questions. Our bodies continue to reflect this poisoned world through which we habitate but our heart is all us. And your heart is all full of love and a mind of rare understanding and truth.
Thank you so much Kumi!! This filled me with such emotion.
verybody wants what feels good. Everyone wants to live a carefree, happy and easy life, to fall in love and have amazing sex and relationships, to look perfect and make money and be popular and well-respected and admired and a total baller to the point that people part like the Red Sea when you walk into the room.
Jeremy, this description does not match my definition of happiness!
If you read my posts you will perhaps see that for me happiness is peace of mind, contentment, gratitude, taking responsibility for what you can control, letting go what you can’t control…..
