Living Authentically: With Life's Challenges and Uncertainty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648596097)

"Life is here to be lived as it's calling to be lived. Death will take care of itself" This book is for anyone going through a life challenge or life-threatening illness. In my case it's cancer. The prognosis six years ago was: "It's going to keep coming back". Which it did. And despite my greatest efforts to live a cancer free life, it continued to return. In 2019, after discussions with my oncologist, I decided to stop all treatment to give my body time to heal.By finally realising that I have a choice in my living and dying, I began to feel empowered. My focus shifted and I allowed myself to live my life authentically, feeling what needed to be honestly felt without adding my mental stories to it, and to have compassion for myself.Choice is empowerment. Believing we are "choiceless" can be so disheartening. We have the potential to live the best lives we can given the circumstances we find ourselves in if we're willing to open to all that's presenting in our lives.We can reach out for help when we need it, and bless our humanity, there are so many people out there that genuinely want to help us. Amongst the moments of grief, fear and disappointment, my life is still beautiful. Yours can be too
