Bucket List Gratitude Love Thriving

Grateful for My Book’s Biggest Champion

With two days to go before Christmas, I finished the first draft of my book, It’s Not Harder Than Cancer.

I set Christmas as my deadline because I wanted to give a copy of the manuscript to my father-in-law as a gift. He has been the biggest champion for my book, imploring me to write about my cancer experience since I finished treatment in February 2013.

“People need to hear about how you got through this in such a positive way,” he’d say.

Finding time to write after treatment was challenging because of work and life. Plus, I was working in the cancer space, which grew to be overwhelming. Only after I left the cancer world and got some distance and fresh air at the beach did the words start flowing.

My father-in-law loved the surprise and it looks like an engrossing read, fingers crossed.

In the meantime, I’m in the process of hiring an editor and I’m on the hunt for a publisher. If I don’t find one, I’ll likely self publish. One way or another, It’s Not Harder Than Cancer will see the light of day.

    So glad you left the cancer space and did what you were meant to do, my friend. When we let Go and let God, all kinds of wonderful things happen!
