Each new day is a new beginning

2009 has been a rather eventful year for me. In two months, from March 14 to May 14, I lost my mother to colon cancer, was laid off from my job and then I was diagnosed with breast cancer! At first glance these events appear rather devastating, and although they were, they also gave me a new lease on life! I decided on alternative treatment rather than conventional medicine for the breast cancer; so I went to Hippocrates Health Institute for their "Life Change" program. Life changing it was! This program allowed me to see that over the years I had allowed all the day to day minutiae, as well as other people to take over my life and because it happened so gradually I didn't even realize it. I had lost myself! In order to regain my health, I had to regain control of my own life; to get back in touch with who I am and to reclaim my creative nature. The life I had been leading for so many years wasn't nurturing my soul, it was draining not just my energy, but my very desire to live. So I guess this is about not just my art, but the recovery of my life! Which is rather exciting, to me anyway!
