Hola!
Okay, so I'm learning Spanish with my boys right now, so I know a little bit more Spanish than that, and am grateful to have wonderful friends who are patient and let me practice on them :-)
I've written something about my experience with breast cancer, (I am a 3 time survivor :-) while pregnant with my (now 16 year old) second son, & things I've learned since, and 2 seeming recurrences after 14 years ( November '05), while my two boys, each after they turned 13, were going through bone cancer surgeries & treatments, (so much has happened over the last four years). The second recurrence was May 18, 2007, when I finally go the boys father into court to start divorce proceedings) You can read it, & hopefully benefit from some of the other websites links heres at www.IAmAtPeaceWithDestiny.com
My 16 year old seemed to have a recurrence of the cancer last year, so a lot is posted about him and the many things we've leaned.
I am so grateful for every moment we (me, both of my sons - and our precious friends and family) spend together.
I hope to assist others with all the things I've leaned over the past 16 years
You may share this with anyone you feel would benefit, now or in the future :-)
God Bless You for a Miracle Day!!!

I hope to update this soon...
And Now...
Our Story, starting in 1992...
(See articles about the boys in the links area, on the left, many towards the top of the page)
As one who has experienced breast cancer, treatment & consciously worked to heal from within, which kept me healed in the outer for over 14 years, I have gone through, and am still going through, a great learning process, which is ever expanding in the most perfect way.
I have also been privileged to assist my boys as they went through their challenges, both in the most courage way. When other things seem to appear, we get through them, one moment at a time & always relying on the Presence of God within us for guidance, strength, love and illumination as to the perfect things to do. We are so grateful for the loving, supportive people in our lives, which make our experiences in this life, so joyous, rich and vibrant. To re-learn what children already know, to live in the moment and experience fully, and take everything in, all the good, into ourselves & let it become one with us, call to God for forgiveness for all that is discordant, and take responsibility for all we have done, and call for the love, wisdom and power to make it right, and to be grateful for every moment given to us, and to know it as the gift which it is.
I find that many people have been able to benefit from our experiences, which is why I wrote this. They can learn ways to cope, get beyond, and if they so desire, learn how to experience perfection in their lives. Each moment there is always a choice to live consciously or not. The decision is with in each person.
I feel it is so important that it be talked about, in order for one to arrive at an informed decision, and so that when someone is first diagnosed, they will feel embraced by a community of people who can assist them in their healing. It is vital to know that people care and understand what they are going through. It is imperative that they be given precise and up to date information, ranging from different support groups, to books and literature, to options for care, to questions for their doctors, and know that there are other methods of healing and how to get their hands on that info, to just being reassured that there is someone to talk to when the need arises.
Just to give you a little background about myself, I will tell you a little about my life before the diagnosis. I was in the Air Force for six years; the first four were spent as a crew member (Air Surveillance Tech) on the AWACS plane (Airborne Warning & Command & Control Systems). The Rotodome on the top reminded me of an Oreo Cookie with the stripe going the wrong way. see: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military
After four years, because I could not clear my ears in the Altitude Chamber (A requirement every 3 years when one is on "Flying Status") I had to cross-train into another career field. (While in Okinawa I was vice-president of an organization, we (military & civilians) started called "Camp Independence". It's like a week long "Special Olympics". It was a great experience & I have been told its still going on & spreading over the Far East :-)
For the last two years in the service, I was stationed at Malcolm Grow Medical Center, Andrews Air Force base. So much took place there, but I will save that for another time. I even had to attend Technical School at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with our first son, Christopher Corey. By the time I flew home, I was very close to my due date. (Christopher Corey traveled half way around the world (Japan) and back & many places in the states while "en utero", more than most people do in a lifetime Christopher Corey was born the day before Dessert Storm. If it had gone on any longer than it did, 60 days after he was born, I would have had to leave him & go to Saudi Arabia!) I feel he brought Peace, because it was over before my maternity leave was up!
I have been around the world and back a few times & experienced so many things from Survival School in Washington State, many technical schools in other states, on-the-job interaction with co-workers, patients & their families, but nothing could compare to the life changing adventure that began March 12, 1992.
(As an aside, my friend of 10 years, Candis, who I met at a cancer support group (she went because her husband had brain cancer, he didn't want to go, so she went for the support & to research all treatments available) has recently (end of 2002) been diagnosed with breast cancer, she told me she could not do the next step after surgery...chemo & radiation. This was her e-mail to me:
"I am in Mexico undergoing treatment at 'Oasis of Hope Hospital' for breast cancer. I could not do the next step after surgery...chemo & radiation. 'Do no harm' is the Oasis philosophy so it is diet, chelating, enemas, colonics, laetrile, shark cartilage, and ozone. All good things to boost your immune system to heal yourself. Also their philosophy of body mind & spirit! Finally a place that understands the need to treat all three.
Already I have witnessed success of other patients whose tumors are shrinking! One guy was sent home to die... "
When I asked her if I could share this with others she said: "Yes, spread the word.....www.oasisofhope.com is the website that will give you a good overall description. I, too, feel the need to spread the word to give others the knowledge of other options for medical treatment and to understand that illness is more than just physical ills. Go ahead and put my name, contact information down as a contact that has experience the place and actually seen success with the treatments that give. You can put Candis Richardson, breast cancer diagnosis, email crwv@aol.com or write to 2190 S. Loudoud St. #255, Winchester, VA 22601. I am happy to talk to anyone that is seeking a different path to alternative treatment."
As for the choice to have a mastectomy, you can always have reconstructive surgery or wear a prosthesis (which looks very natural). Soon after I had the bilateral mastectomy, I made an appointment for reconstruction. When I went for my appointment, I was wearing my prosthesis. I was asked if I was there for a breast reduction and I replied "I don't have any, I would like some please" and we laughed. People are so surprised to find out they are not my own. Right before the scheduled reconstructive surgery I decided against reconstructive surgery and this is why; I knew that silicone implants were dangerous, and after viewing programs that focused on women dying from saline implants, I decided to get more information. I requested information from the FDA, and The Command Trust Network. I discovered that the FDA has never approved saline implants and even though they are filled with saline, they are encased in a silicone shell. The silicone can seep into the body over a period of time. On a show I saw two days prior to my scheduled reconstructive surgery, it was revealed that the saline implant removed from a woman was toxic enough to kill 20 people. Saline has an expiration date! The saline solution used on contact lenses has an expiration date; the saline used in hospitals has an expiration date, and is stored in cool to moderate temperatures, not the body's 98.6-degree temperature! Because of this implant, her doctor informed her she did not have long to live and since her son lived so far away, that she would never see him again. Needless to say, I canceled my surgery. As I look at my children (Christopher Corey now 15 and Joshua Kyle 14), I now have the opportunity to watch them grow up and have children of their own if they so desire, without having the concern as to if the implants would give me cancer again. (I met a woman at a cancer support group and told her to watch the same show. She had a mastectomy and was in the last stage of reconstructive surgery - every week she had to go in and have more saline injected into the implant to stretch the skin so that it would be the size of her other breast - which had been a very painful process for her. After viewing the show, even after all she had been through, she told the surgeons to remove the implant, and she wanted it out of her body as fast as possible!) That is why I feel it is so important to get the message out to all women and let them decide for themselves, so they can make an informed decision! There is also an option, for reconstruction, where they use your own body fat (in the tummy area & sometimes back) to reconstruct the breast. See http://www.breastcancer.org
My life has been altered so much and is now filled with so much love, hope and countless other positive realities since my diagnosis. My desire is to share hope & my experiences with all that have the need to understand "why". Why did this happen, what good could possibly come from this? It seems like you just have to get past the "why" concentrate on healing & living life to the fullest every moment, notice all the good around you, and what ever way you worship, call for the illumination and healing in your life, body, mind, emotions & soul.
FYI: I'm, finding more & more every day how the essential oils from Young Living are assisting us in everyday life & healing of the body too. Let me know if your want more info :-) Christopher Corey's using it on a bad sports injury (it took us a month of going through so many treatment options until I checked into the Young Living products & now he asks for it & won't use anything else), I'm using it in cancer prevention, in our everyday lives, so much more!www.youngliving.org/victorious
For about the last 12 years...
For about the last 12 years I have been privileged to learn the basic principles to live harmoniously with the rest of life, starting with the food I eat & the way I view the things going on around me. I see & understand them so differently than most people who have not been exposed to this wondrous, truly beautiful & natural way to understand and interact with the rest of life. It all started out with principles I learned in a series of very special cooking classes (which, after taking, applying to my life & experiencing for a many years coupled with other training, I can now teach!). From things I had been learning in all my reading, I wanted to be able to feed my family food with life, not dead, decaying animals, or secretions from them. I also wanted to be sure that we were all getting the balance that our bodies needed. So I said, "Okay God, I want to do this, if it is part of the Divine Plan, show me what to do!" Then a wonderful woman, who has taught me so much in the last 8 years, entered our lives. She taught me principles not yet taught in the western world. In applying them, I have leaned how to live harmoniously with nature, so many wonderful things about herbs, & a totally new way of experiencing and understanding the clues nature gives us about food & all Life. The cooking classes taught me many things; among them was the way to get a balance in the food we eat. I was taught about food on such a different level than most people are aware. I was able to use the principles I learned, beginning with the food I ate, and then expanded it to other areas in my life. It is very complex & yet simple enough that it can be understood by a child.
When you eat this way you feel so satisfied & never bloated (from food :-). When you live in harmony with nature, life blesses you! The boys & I understand & adhere to it completely. This knowledge coupled with the knowledge and wisdom we received by studying the "I AM" Series of books by the Saint Germain Press, is allowing us to gain a total understanding of all life around us.
This wonderful woman has also taught me so much in the way of using herbs (she has over 30 years experience working with herbs) to heal. I have had many chances to use this knowledge to heal my family and myself, so I know that it works. Because of this knowledge, and application of what I have learned, my whole body composition has changed. I lost 30 pounds in a 4-month period after starting these classes, without even trying! It all came off so naturally while I was eating these wonderful foods, which, by the way, I now have more menu choices for meals than when I used to eat meat & most of my shopping is done in the produce area. (I have such a wonderful time creating sweet things that people really enjoy. The best part, for me, is that it is so great for the body because it is made of very pure ingredients. I bless those beautiful Beings of the Elements that come together to nourish us in the most perfect ways) One day I just noticed that my clothes were fitting very loosely on me. I usually don't weigh myself, it's just not a concern for me, but while at a consultation I just decided to step on the scale, and what a pleasant surprise, I had lost 30 pounds! Which meant I went down one dress, pant, shoe and ring size. I had to get my rings sized down so they would stay on my fingers! I have found that when you live in harmony with nature, life naturally blesses you back. Another exciting thing is I do not need glasses anymore! I had to wear glasses since I was 16, & since that age, I had astigmatism. Well, a visit to the optometrist in 1997 revealed not only is my eyesight 20/20, but I no longer have astigmatism!!! I accredit that to the things I've learned in the "I AM" Series of books & have applied to my life, & being led to the woman who has taught me so much of the herbs, food & so much more! (From things I have learned from her, I now know that I could have avoided the bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy. Nevertheless, I know there is a reason for everything, so I am at Peace with all that has happened and all that is yet to come. I am so grateful that I am now able to heal myself and my family with the herbs, food & things around me) The thing is, anyone can do this! There must be the desire & determination to live life at the highest level & except nothing less. (Which I have found to be the most joyous!) There must be the call for Purity & Perfection in Life, or everything is much less & sometimes very terrifying. "Ask & ye shall receive!" comes to mind. I know that everything I desire is within my reach. :-)
You are an individual of free will, this is just what I believe...As I look over all the books I've read, I see how each has truth, but only part of the whole truth. The "I AM" Series by the Saint Germain Press, (Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, & The "I AM" Discourses are the first three) for me, has the whole truth. This is not something that I would try to prove to you, or anyone else, it's something that you prove to yourself. By applying the "Laws of Life, Energy & Vibration", & High Spiritual Truths & using the decrees from the books, you prove it to yourself. I am so grateful for these books, this freedom, peace & harmony that I feel, to know that whenever I have a question or concern in my life I just open one of the books & there I find my answer. (I wish I would have known these things when I was a child, but I know there is a reason for that too. I have experienced so many different things in this embodiment, it feels like I have lived seven lifetimes in just this one, in each, experiencing many things that help me to understand others better, but I'll save that for another timeJ) Even when I do not have a probing question in mind, reading them gives me the perfect way to expand & raise my consciousness and expand my Light!
The story needs updating, because now, the woman I was going to does not have time for consultations (in July of 2002 I began to have an even better understanding of how to take care of family & myself because I took the course that she offered.) Until my training was complete, I went to a wonderful doctor! She utilizes both Eastern & Western medicine & has been of great assistance to me! She is assisting me to bring health & balance in my body. I just love my visits to her office, for me it's better than a spa! (utilizing, acupuncture, electro-magnetic therapy & deep muscle massage & sometimes Chinese herbs) The results are awesome!
You can pass this on to anyone you feel would benefit, now or in the future :-)
