The following was written by a fellow coaching friend of mine. It’s just a recounting of an experience, but I thought it was so well written, and so touching that I’d share it here.
"I just got back from visiting my dear friend who had her breast removed last month because of breast cancer. I saw her shaved head and she was even willing to show me her scar from surgery. She is going through chemo for 13 weeks and will have the second breast removed later this year and then do reconstructive surgery. She's going through hell right now, there really is no better way to describe it. Her feet have blisters, her tongue is swollen, her skin is dry, and she has no way to know when the next bout of nausea will hit.
"But she radiates light so brightly that I am lost for words to describe the courage I see in her. She is doing guided imagery, yoga, acupuncture, and even smoking dope - everything she can to get through this with dignity, enthusiasm, and hope.
"I just hope that should I ever have to endure such a hardship that I do it as well as she does."
Are you choosing to let your light radiate brightly?
