The Next Place

By Warren Hanson

The next place that I go will be as peaceful and familiar
As a sleepy summer Sunday and a sweet, untroubled mind.

And yet… it won’t be anything like any place I’ve ever been
Or seen… or even dreamed of, in the place I leave behind.

I won’t know where I’m going, and I won’t know where I’ve been
As I tumble through the always, and look back toward the when.

I’ll glide beyond the rainbows.  I’ll drift above the sky,
I’ll fly into the wonder, without ever wondering why.

I won’t remember getting there. Somehow I’ll just arrive
But I’ll know that I belong there and will feel much more alive than I have ever felt before.

I will be absolutely free of the things that I held onto
That were holding onto me.

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

 - Henry David Thoreau

In my 5 Be’s for Living From the Heart, I talk about our creation process that is a universal law that most of us have forgotten.

Everyone has dreams, find them, remember them!!  Write them down and say them out loud.  What you focus on is what you will see more and more of in your life.  With everyone so afraid of the financial crisis and political election coming up, the focus seems to be the doom and gloom and what is bad.  Collectively we are focussing on what we really don’t like or want.  It is hard to get away from it, but we can choose in the moment what we wish to think about and talk about with our friends and family.  Talk about the opportunity coming our way, about the changes we will all experience through the country’s opportunity right now.  How can you experience what you want in the midst of all the chaos.

Can food affect our survival from cancer?  Can food be a predictor of our chances of getting cancer. 

There is more and more research available that states we are deficient in certain vitamins and minerals.  The data over time will help all of us know for sure what areas we need to seriously look at and change our habits.

One such area is our omega 3’s.  It has been shown that since the changes in our fats in our diets after 1945, we have seen increases in cancer.  They now know that the balance between omega 6 and omega 3 is out of whack.  Wth Animals fed on grasses, we were getting omega 3’s.  Then the change to soy and corn fed animals with see an increase in omega 6 and a deficiency in omega 3.

Now some doctors will recommend increasing with foods or supplements omega 3.

Now I have heard 2 times in 3 days the same message.  This is a message for all of us to take notice.

Does vitamin D deficiency contribute to cancer?

Now most medical doctors feel safe recommending vitamin D as a supplement because of the research data showing we are deficient in it.  They believe this is one of the vitamin and minerals that we are fairly certain are safe for anyone.

They are seeing a link in this deficiency to some cancers.  Here is an excerpt from a news report this week. 

“This study found that vitamin D deficiency is very common among women with breast cancer, and it suggests that vitamin D deficiency is linked to poorer outcomes in these women,” said Nancy Davidson, director of the breast cancer program at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

SUNBEAMS
 
Even after all this time
the sun never says to the Earth
“You owe me.”
 
Look what happens with a love like that –
It lights the whole world!

I believe love can heal…………….Send love to others today…………………………

We all have a gremlin sitting on our shoulder.  It is that little voice chattering all the time.  It is that voice creating all the drama in your life.  It is that voice

• telling you all the things you did wrong,
• telling you all the bad traits about yourself,
• telling you you are not good enough,
• telling you to go ahead and take another drink,
• telling you to abuse yourself or another,
• telling you you are justified in your anger,
• telling you to try those drugs again,
•  telling you to eat some more………………………………

All the pain in our lives seems to be caused by this little gremlin………………………..

Who is the gremlin any way?   Is it YOU?

When you are so sick and tired of listening to the gremlin and you can’t take another minute of it and you can’t stand to live with it any more, you can decide to divorce it.

Gratitude, appreciation, or thankfulness is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.

Dr. Demartini says,
“I count my blessings daily.
My life is a constant stream of blessings.
The more I am grateful, the more I have to be grateful for.
I am blessed and my blessings are infinite.
Everything is a gift. Thank you.” 
 
Gratitude is the highest vibration on the Emotional Guidance Scale  

1.  Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation/(Gratitude)

Therefore when we are feeling the worse gratitude is the only place to be.

Every day write down five things you are grateful for and it will change your life.

This is an easy Cancer support tool.

Very important news alert I had to share.

As a cancer survivor speaker, I share my story of healing through natural methods.  The article is about an attack on natural cures for cancer. 

Beware, the author of the following article is quite passionate and his opinion can be attacking and negative which I don’t believe is the most effective approach, but read the facts.

I know some of the facts to be true, because I have lived them!!  I have experienced it, seen it, heard it and heard many other similar stories.  Take what feels good to you.  It is my responsibility to share what I know for sure through my own experience and other information and data revealed to the world. 

Through my cancer survivor journey, I have intuitively known (like all of you) certain things I ate or drank or used were not good for me.  Many times I did not want to give up a pleasure or a convenience.  When is the time we are willing to stop and take notice and change?  Is it when we are sick or our child or grandchild is sick or dying?

Check out the latest on uncovering the plastic toxins……………………..Is it another piece of the cancer puzzle?

Research Links Plastics Containing Bisphenol A to Heart Disease and Diabetes
by Sherry Baker (see all articles by this author)

If you live in the U.S. and eat any packaged foods at all, you are probably also consuming the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA. Now, for the first time, scientists have made a startling discovery about the chemical that could help explain the epidemic of heart disease and diabetes in this country.

As a cancer survivor, one who had Stage 4 melanoma and healed from it, I understand completely that cancer affects everyone in a patient’s life.

Their spouse, children, parents, and friendships are all affected and it can be frustrating and frightening trying to figure out how to deal with it. Even after healing or remission takes place, cancer leaves a lasting impact on patients and their friends and loved ones. Everyone touched by the disease needs cancer support in their time of sickness or adversity to cope with physical and/or emotional changes.

 ”Melanoma is a form of skin cancer in which cancer cells form in melanocytes (the skin cells that make the pigment melanin, which gives skin its natural color). Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.  When melanoma starts in the skin, usually as a mole, the disease is called cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma is most often found on the trunk (the area from the shoulders to the hips) of men and on the arms and legs of women. Melanoma can also occur in the eye, which is called intraocular or ocular melanoma.”
