A safe harbor. Sometimes that's all you need. A place to restore, revive and renew yourself. As we launch into Breast Cancer Awareness Month this month, we'll be identifying some life-lines, buoys and safe harbor suggestions for those who are navigating the rough waters of a breast cancer diagnosis. Pass this on to anyone you know facing breast cancer. It's rough seas out there for many of them, but they can ease into calmer waters with the right compass and buoys. We'll be talking about some of these buoys this month and we look forward to you coming aboard with us.
We know what it's like to be tossed into the overwhelming, tumultuous, open seas of a breast cancer diagnosis. One of the Velvet Lime Girls, Laura, faced this diagnosis in June of 2015 and everything changed here in our little studio. The seas were just-pretty-darn-rough for awhile, with our anchor in God holding us down and averting a major shipwreck. There's just SO much to process with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Do you go the conventional route? Alternative route? A combination route? What DO you do??? One thing is for sure ... you can't ignore it. You're in a storm and you need some direction. You need buoys that will guide you into a safe harbor. We found some! And when you find buoys that help, you just want to yell out at the top of your lungs, over the crashing waves, to everyone out there adrift in the sea, "We found help! Here are some buoys to safe harbor!"
So, that's what we're going to do. We're going to yell out and point you in the direction of a few buoys we've found helpful along the way.
Our first beautiful buoy is a site called Breast Cancer Conqueror.
Whether you choose a conventional, alternative or a combination route to overcome breast cancer, you'll find a treasure of resources, support and compassion here. It's a great place to start if you just don't even know where to begin. As their site says, you'll learn to "Never Fear Breast Cancer Again." The founder, Dr. Veronique Desaulniers, healed her own breast cancer naturally and documented the journey in her book, Heal Breast Cancer Naturally. Along the way she left a trail of research-backed medical studies and resources that make this book a big, bright buoy, helping women on their healing journeys and guiding women who want to prevent getting breast cancer. Go get the book today for yourself and then get one for your daughters, your mothers, and the friends you love. It's been the biggest buoy out there for Laura and we know it will help guide you into safe waters. Check out the heart of the healing program right here in this video: 7 Essentials Program.
We'll be sharing several other buoys during this Breast Cancer Awareness month and we would like to hear your stories of the lifelines and guiding systems you have used to navigate your course through the rough seas of a breast cancer diagnosis. Remember, you have a voice and you can use your story to help someone else who may be in distress. So use your voice and help us tell others about the
buoys that can lead to safe harbor.
"My help and glory are in God - granite-strength and safe-harbor God." Psalms 62:7
Smooth sailing ahead,
