Time to step up. Appeared in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, when the lead character Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks) says “My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates.You never know what you're gonna get.” Pronunciation English Etymology. I strongly believe that our physical wellness is entwined and interacts with our mental and emotional wellbeing. NOT to buy into other people’s fear, no matter who or how expert they are. If life is like a box of chocolates, I think of Heroes when I think of people like you! Personally, I have no doubt that certain distressing and devastating life events in my own experience subsequently translated themselves into the cancer I experience today. We are all different, we will all respond differently. Time to concoct my own Medicine. And then, one day, out of the blue I had a realisation: I had bought into “the fear”. News delivered, she left me alone in an empty room with an appointment to see the oncologist, my future in shreds, all hope extinguished, trying to digest the undigestable. I believe in the power of spirit, plant, mind and medical. In other words, life was proving a wee bit challenging to say the least both physically and emotionally. All of this is medicine: My medicine. These words have been dancing around my head for some weeks now. So whether this new trial is giving you medication or placebo, you are regaining and taking control of your health and that is incredible. Or perhaps we have forgotten. With each day that passed, physical distress and discomfort was matched by escalating mental and emotional distress. To never give up hope. No one is immune to fear. That you can be so positive and hopeful should be an inspiration to us all, I think about you often and hope that you’ll feel happy and positive and fight like a warrior. ( Log Out /  Next week a scan will tell me the status of the cancer: same, better or worse? You have been told there is nothing more that can be done. Despair becomes your bedfellow. You never know what figure of speech you're gonna get. It seemed as if the way forward was closing. It does eventually grind to a teeth-clenching halt and you can disembark. (Bingo, a rich spiritual life that inspires me, nourishes me and teaches me to look at life from a different perspective). We seem indoctrinated to accept that the medical profession have the power to decide our future, but this is not the case. Cancer breeds fear. Actually, who am I trying to kid? What is there to lose? And it is a person’s confidence, their belief in whatever healing is offered which can influence the positive outcome of their treatment. Let’s hope that this new trial continues to reward you with energy and fresh hope. As the days and weeks have progressed my strength and vitality have improved daily on a diet of spiritual nourishment, all night out-door ceremony, community, friendships old, friendships new, family, magical Mexican healings, hot sweaty camping, prayers of gratitude, prayers for the Earth, gathering around the fire with indigenous elders, dancing with the deer, feeding the soul, feeding the spirit, teaching in circle, learning in circle, introducing Marakames (indigenous Mexican shaman) to the delights of kebabs and fish and chips, feeding my belly with the womb food of my childhood days spent on the streets of Singapore, late night hammock star gazing, and trip upon trip to London to participate in the trial, and a huge thank you to everyone on the ward who make the process so easy to bear. You hear this quote any time someone feels like dispensing fortune-cookie wisdom about the uncertainties of life, without any regard for the effect these chocolates are having on your teeth. Sharing it is not only brave (for want of a better word), but you are showing a way for others to follow. three times, in the freezing mountain waters! A difficult time. (Well more palliative chemo could potentially be on offer, but they know my feelings on that.) Each moment is valuable and precious. It was an opportunity to immerse in prayer and focus strong intention for the year ahead. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet. Kindest Regards Jane x. Change ), Cannabis and Me: Breaking the Law to Live. I believe it is going to work, just as I believe that the ancient traditional healing methods of the Wixarika marakames (indigenous Mexican shaman) will work, just as I believe that my mind is a powerful medicine, just as I believe in the power of plants to heal, or the power of the prayers people have been saying for me.
