407 thoughts on “Reflections after Chemotherapy”

1. I have a family member who is waiting for the result of the x rays she has recently had and she told me that if she has to have any treatment for breast cancer she will accept the conventional treatments along side the treatments also offered by Universal Medicine. She made this decision because 8 years ago she went to see a Universal Medicine practitioner and was blown away by how she felt afterwards, so that every year she comes to the UK for a few weeks just so she can have what she calls this time with herself. She knows that the health she has today is because she went to see the Universal Medicine practitioner all those years ago. (Written with the permission of my sister)

2. You have shared so much gold here for all. Including how, absolutely, western medicine is essential and super supportive however the true healing unfolds when we are willing to, alongside this, look at the energetic reasons of why we had the illness or dis-ease in the first place. How did we live, what were our choices and with this of course forever holding that we innately are Love and are returning to Love. This is simplicity and debases all that is not.

3. ‘From feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work.’ What a journey through your learning Fiona. The inspiration you have left behind you is immeasurable. Thank you so much for sharing that learning.

4. What an inspiring blog to read thank you so much Fiona for sharing with us all.
   You have clearly stated that you let in an ill energy that was then had a very detrimental effect on your body but with more understanding of how energy flows and its effect on our bodies, the negative impact it can have just through a lack of expressing the truth of who we are.

5. Through reading Fiona’s story I got to feel the everlastingness of love because even though the account was written several years ago now, the feeling of love was tangible and completely untainted by time.

6. Fiona the word that you drew on the stone ‘simplicity’ was one of the qualities that came across whilst reading your story. The two other words that really stood out were ‘love’ and ‘stillness’. Love, stillness and simplicity, a truly divine combination.

7. Fiona, it was inspiring to read your experience of chemotherapy. What you felt about what other people were going through pretty much describes most people’s reaction to any bad or sad news.

   Life changes when news is given to us, and for you, it was an opportunity to review and you took the road that brought you to the forefront of your own health and wellbeing. Just reading your sharing I can feel, no blame, shame or anger, you simply made the choice, and you literally went with it. It’s not the end product, it’s about discovering the real, true you.

8. “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything” So beautiful this is what true healing is about – simplicity.

9. Seeing chemotherapy appointments as ‘dates with divinity’ is certainly not how most people view chemotherapy treatment and embracing the healing opportunity offered by cancer is a powerful and much needed reflection that Fiona offers humanity and shares with us so lovingly in her writing which lives on after her passing.

   1. Helen, you’re spot on, chemotherapy appointments as ’dates with divinity’ is seldom seen as this.

      I have walked passed cancer therapy departments and you can feel the doom and gloom. And yet Fiona made an appointment with divinity, it is a gift she could see and feel.

10. I love the way this blog conveys the message that we have a responsibility to our own health, how damaging holding onto emotions are and how we can help heal ourselves through discovering the love and beauty we truly are.

11. Very beautiful when we stop fighting and start surrendering with a smile, and that is when we realise how constricting our previously held posture really was.

12. “With the support of Universal Medicine I have chosen another way to be, a natural way, a deeply nurturing and self-honouring way ” I so love this, it is testament to the power and simplicity and inspiration that is Universal Medicine.
    Without Universal Medicine my life would no way be any where near as loved filled, amazing and magical and divine as it is today.

    1. Sam I agree Universal Medicine has changed the lives of thousands of people across the world, to live in the simplicity of life and yet to feel the fullness that is constantly on offer is completely different to the current way of living where everyone is stressed and anxious, this puts a huge strain on our bodies so is it any wonder we get sick.

13. Simply beautiful is the love that we are lived in full.

14. ‘Not trying to be better or fix anything’ – super inspiring to read about a different relationship with illness; one of letting go, learning and surrender, and a total acceptance of the healing that this brings.

15. Wow what a process of surrendering and letting go through allowing what was needed and embracing what was on offer. I love the point you shared about letting people in and not taking on their stuff, such an important part of self-love. – ‘ I have also learnt to let people in without taking on board their stuff or trying to rescue them, which in itself is a miracle.’

16. I can really sense in this blog by the way the writer writes that the healing has already occurred within even if the physical body is still sick.

17. There are so many gems of wisdom in this blog, so much learning shared, it’s like a deep surrender to love and truth with every step Fiona has made. It’s highlighted for me the preciousness of life, of each moment, but we may not realise this until we have a wake up call that jolts us out of the momentum of life. This is an amazing learning “I have also learnt to let people in without taking on board their stuff or trying to rescue them, which in itself is a miracle.”

    1. Melinda Knights learning how to be in the world without taking on the problems of the world is something I’m coming to terms with, knowing that I cannot change the world I can only change myself and that comes through not beating myself up over my self perceived lack but to return inwards back to my soul and by learning to love myself so that others can feel this love and choose it for themselves or not.

18. “WOW!!” When we get into the reality of the Love that we all are, miracles can happen and why not, are we all not here to learn how to return to the Love we all are and true healing comes from within when we reconnect to our essence, which is Love!! ‘WOW’!!!

    1. I agree Greg and the deep well pool of love that Fiona had connected to was so easy to feel, demonstrating so clearly that love is ever present, it is not dependent on either health or circumstance.

       1. Absolutely Alexis, our Soul-full-essences “is ever Present” and that level of Love becomes normal and therefore, no wow factor.

19. “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.” This is one of the best approach to illness I’ve ever heard, I love how you understood there was an amazing opportunity of rediscovery in your cancer and that you grabbed it with both hands rather than the normal approach, which is to just try to recover and get back to normal as quickly as possible.

    1. Thanks Meg for your comment, I realised reading how we can approach many life situations that are challenging the same way, “to just try to recover and get back to normal as quickly as possible.” This has really highlighted for me the ways in which I miss seeing the opportunities inherent in challenges, and not realising that I can advance myself in the situation and come through it with even greater parts of myself reconnected to, rather than trying to ‘get through it’ so life can return to my previous normal.

       1. Yeh totally, it’s not just illnesses that offer us an enormous opportunity to reform our lives, we can advance ourselves massively through the daily challenges of life.

    2. Yes we want to get back to normal as quickly as possible, but what is normal? What if we are living a way of life that is anything but normal?

20. There is such a tender grace and beauty in your words Fiona and now that you have passed over the legacy they leave is pure magic and power. Your learning lives on for all of us who follow, with or without cancer, and as women how we can connect to that same grace, wisdom, beauty and gentle joy. Thank you deeply for sharing yourself in this way.

21. Simplicity, that is what I need to reconnect with more deeply, and just allow, simply. Beautiful sharing by Fiona, I love her writing. And every encounter is a date with divinity. And yes Liane, a functional life is mundane and doesn’t do justice to who we truly are.

    1. Every encounter has a purpose a healing, a revelation and a chance to bring more and offer more to one another.

22. Although life is not always easy, the truth is always simple – I like that for the truth is always right there, in our inner heart, without complications or masks, just simple, pure and ready for us to feel.

    1. Thanks Viktoria for your comment and this is very true, “Although life is not always easy, the truth is always simple”.

       1. Sometimes I look at my comments and think to myself, did I really write that? What an amazing comment haha.

    2. Yes the truth is simple and asks us to surrender to living from that simplicity.

23. When we surrender to the teachings of life in its variable forms, life can never be the same. This is what you did, Fiona, and this new understanding is what you now have and offer for others like me to be inspired by. Thank you for sharing it.

24. There is much to be said with how we ARE when we have an illness – how do we respond, how do we move, how do we heal? What is shared here is a deepening of yourself and an acceptance in the reflection offered by the illness – which is so beautiful and presents a whole new way of how we can be with healing.

25. There has been some more irresponsibly and lazy journalism about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, using tabloid style headlines. And then reading this today, I was like, why is this not making headlines? This is what should be on the front pages of papers, inspiring people to see there is another way to be with illness and disease. Serge Benhayon has supported you to take deep care of yourself and to understand the energetics behind your illness so you can heal from within to the best that you can.

    1. Is it possible Sarah Flenley that the world isn’t ready to hear the truth that is offered by Serge Benhayon and so as in the past when we have had great teachers living amongst us we ridicule, condemn and ostracize so that we do not have to change the way we are living.

26. ‘the truth is always simple, beauty-full and there is always stillness if we choose to feel it.’ And that’s what I feel so clearly and strongly reading this blog, the simplicity of truth and how we can be us no matter what. I feel a woman being herself living her life, not a cancer patient or defined by having or not having that cancer … I feel a woman learning who she is and how each experience expands out her understanding of that; I feel a woman inspiring those around her (and me today) by her lived way.

    1. We are not defined by our health or our illness, whether that be cancer or mental health issues, but by how we move through life as a result of the choices we make and Fiona continues to inspire with her embracing of the situation she found herself in and the loving understanding she approached all aspects of her journey with breast cancer.

27. A beautiful article to read on taking responsibility for our choices, and being open to seeing how our choices affect our health, and how caring deeply for ourselves allows our body space to help the healing process.

28. An amazing testament to the fact the regardless of how ever far we have travelled away from who we are in essence, living in a loveless ill momentum in the various ways we have chosen, what always remains true and untouched is the light of our Soul waiting for us to return to be moved by its love.

    1. What you have said is very beautiful Carola, to me what you are saying is that contrary to the lies we have been fed is that God doesn’t judge us, the love that is the universe is always there whenever we decide to reconnect back to the same love that we innately are.

29. This is so humbling. We are given so many opportunities to learn yet we keep making same mistakes, getting over a ‘problem’ of every size and volume but not really looking at or let alone dealing with what lies at their core. Such is love that knows we will return, more than our human mind can compute.

30. I have so often heard people who have experienced illness and disease say they can’t wait to get back to normal – to living life as it was again. But is it possible the way they were living was an important factor in what has unfolded in their bodies. Definitely something to reflect on deeply for all of us.

    1. Ingrid I agree with you, is it possible our bodies are giving us a stop moment to deeply consider that the way we have been living is not it. This blog that has been so lovingly written is giving everyone an opportunity to reconsider how we ‘live’ life, and is it worth illness and disease to live life so recklessly?

31. ‘For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.’ Reading this makes me humble and I feel how I can be more appreciative of my body giving me clear signals that I don’t need to strive to get better when there is an illness but to go inside myself and deepen the relationship with myself.

32. “He felt I responded so well because of the deep care I take of myself and my body and because I had no other illnesses to complicate the picture.” This says it all really. When we truly work together with the doctors and do our part by deeply taking care of ourselves and loving ourselves there are amazing things possible.

    1. Well said Lieke. We do currently underestimate the innate and natural power of the body heal in order to return to harmony. And so it makes sense to support it so from every angle, beginning with developing and loving and honouring relationship with our body and being alongside the support of western and the complementary to medicine modalities of Universal Medicine.

33. “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. ” What a beautiful attitude to have with an appointment – for chemotherapy or any form of invasive medical support.

34. I wonder what could be possible if we didn’t see illness and disease as us needing to be fixed, but instead saw it as an opportunity to deepen our relationship with ourselves and explore what life is really about – your approach to your illness is incredibly inspiring.

35. This morning I am feeling how ingrained it is to catastrophise what happens in our life. We leap into the drama and miss the truth and wonder why we have ill health. If we can see the hand of God at play we will appreciate the deep beauty of others and each day.

36. True healing is not about survival and death but about every choice we make in order to change the ill-behaviours that we choose to run our lives that led to the illness and disease to loving ones. When we see illness and disease in this light we then get to appreciate its teaching and accept it as a wonderful and magical blessing it is.

37. If we were to treat each and every moment in life as a ‘date with divinity’ then we would vastly reduce the world health epidemics that so plague us a society today. Our greatest dis-ease is our denial of our multidimensional nature. From there, all other ill conditions seed forth.

    1. I love the idea of each moment being a date with divinity – how could doing the washing, or emptying the dishwasher ever be a mundane chore again?

38. ” although sometimes life is not easy, the truth is always simple ”
    This is so true, truth is simple for it has no complication, for truth is already there, it does not need to be made up.

39. ‘For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.’ This is very powerful Fiona, the healing is in the reconnecting back to our true selves and appreciating all the qualities we bring.

40. To be an inspiration, when we are sick, to others that are sick shows the incredible love we are and how we are always there to inspire another, equally as we are to be inspired ourself by those we meet. It feels a beautiful cycle of connections and purpose that no matter what is going on, where we are – we are in able to be in true service.

41. The greatest art or teaching we can learn in life is to surrender and heal. No matter our age, or stage of life it’s never too late to stop the momentum of ceaseless motion. If we don’t choose it, our body will let us know in no uncertain terms to stop. Appreciate these words shared by Fiona.

42. Wow Fiona you inspire me anew each time, and your sharing moved me to tears .. the humbleness, the openness to learn and the willingness to see the beauty and the grace in the journey. You remind me that no matter what is going on out there, I am here, and I can choose to be me in the midst of it all. I can’t express how much support and inspiration I get reading this and how it brings me back to the simplicity of the truth, that we are simply here to be ourselves.

43. I had a friend who passed away many years ago having had Leukaemia. Whilst she was undergoing treatment she had a wonderful attitude to life and there was a sense of joy in her that was hard to fathom. I was left with absolute certainty that there is more to life. She knew without doubt she was more than the body that was going through cancer and had clearly made a connection to this deeper aspect of herself. I have heard many people appreciate what they have learned from going through such a process – and be clearly thankful of the expanded level of awareness they have as a result.

44. “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” When I read this sentence this morning it made me sit up straighter in my chair at the shear beauty of what is being described here which is the beauty of someone taking responsibility for their own healing. This to me is true medicine, the medicine of seeing that the way we are living is harming us and then taking responsibility for our choices when the harm we have done comes as a correction in the form of a tumour, broken bone, flu or whatever it is.

45. These words inspire me to ask – why don’t we treat each and every day as a date with divinity? Is it possible we could see every moment as an opportunity to live Love, not an obligation or irritation put on us from us from above? If we see life this way, isn’t it possible that we might be healthy finally, regardless if we have a disease or not. The greatest illness is seeing life as a humdrum ordeal.

    1. We are not designed to live a mundane and functional life. We were breathed forth from the body of God as his equal but we took a detour that we must now all return from. There is only one way back to God and that is through living the love that we are, in all that we do. Only then can we resurrect what we have let fall – our innate and eternal divinity.

46. I can totally recognise that waiting – waiting for something to happen before I commit to making changes, like, being me. We are so used to trying even being ourselves feels like a trying. There’s nothing to do but be, but we try hard nonetheless. It is very empowering when we can accept illnesses and diseases as opportunity for true healing.

47. This is a really beautiful blog, showing how much courage we can have.

    1. For me there was no courage only the surety of love.

48. Very humbling to read. You also show how taking deep care of ourselves can really support our body to heal. Something we should talk about more and can definitely all learn from. Thank you.

49. This is such an inspiring blog… ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity’. There can be no greater date than this. What a blessing for us all that you embrace the treatment and healing of cancer in this way.

50. It sounds like this treatment gave you another opportunity to learn about yourself and how you relate to life. And, because you have taken this in to the fullest, you have gained from this experience a deeper sense of love for yourself and for people. This to me is the greatest form of learning, when it inspires love.

51. It is a miracle that you share with us all.

52. What you describe here so beautifully Fiona is an approach to life, one of self care and self love which allows a simplicity to embrace what is needed to truly heal.

53. The abundancy and richness of life seems to make us take it for granted. Like a farmer who wakes up each day to the most glorious view of fields of golden flowers but just focuses on the couple of bugs that are there, we tend to see what we think is wrong instead of the true beauty that is there. There is something comforting and familiar about the struggle so many of us are in, and if we participate in this it feels like we are together again. But none of this is actually true. We don’t have to wait till serious illness pops our bubble to see, that when we appreciate our true divinity we show others they can too. Appreciating our true beauty is the greatest medicine currently known to man.

54. ‘I have learnt so much. For me, life will not return to how it was.’ These words are so humble, and they speak volumes and offer us so much. Commitment to life is in everything, even in chemotherapy, and Fiona shows us this in spades. Wow, and yet it’s absolute simplicity.

    1. Yes, these words are very powerful.

55. Simplicity. When I let simplicity guide me through the challenges that come my way I find a deeper stillness and joy sitting inside busting to be lived from. And this deepening, in my experience has no end.

56. I read to here and was given the moment to pause and ponder just what it means.
    “As soon as one seat is vacated another woman fills it.”
    What is going on that so many people require the services of such intense medical therapy?
    I feel this question needs to be asked, as until we begin to address the why, the only thing that will happen is that more medical services will be required, in a reality where they cannot keep up with the present demand. Does this not bring us to a stop, a moment to consider what is our personal part to play in where we find our worlds health?

57. Wow what an amazing transformation for the love and care you are choosing to have and live in your body – and as you say you can feel everything from every other patient in the room -so what if they felt not coping or denial or anger from you, but love – What an amazing reflection that provides.

58. This blog is a road map of how to be all of you, no matter what you are challenged with. It is beautiful that you were able to feel and action the importance of this.

59. It is inspiring to know that so much beauty and evolution can be learnt and embodied from something that most would view as a negative. Life can be gorgeous and full of wonder and lessons no matter the hardship… and when lived and embraced like you have, the reflection this then offers others to support changing their perception or offering inspiration is just stunning.

60. True healing occurs at the level of our being, and not firstly with the physical body. This is a beautiful example and testimony to this fact.

61. I love the way you describe life and how much you learnt Fiona. I met a lady yesterday who had trouble moving and she said that because she moved so slowly she noticed so much more than other people, all the little details, from how people felt to little marks no one else noticed, most people in that position would be complaining about their body rather than noticing the blessings, I was very touched and inspired by her. Our circumstances need not deter us from what we can learn and how enriching life can be.

62. Life is significant and important in a universal way – but we tend to let it drift by without asking why or understanding what we see. The perspective and appreciation this blog describes is very beautiful to read, because it’s clear there’s a true value to every moment we are alive. It’s up to us to honour this and not focus on the minuscule niggling stuff. If given attention it eats away at our joy and space.

63. Beautiful to take the time to discover that there is a beauty all around us, all we need to do is stop and appreciate what nature brings us, it is often not until we are ill that we take the time to stop and appreciate what has always been there.

64. “not trying to be better or fix anything”, you have taught me something here. Thank you for the inspiration.

65. To see chemotherapy as a support and approach it with grace allows the body to be at ease rather than in reaction or tension, and this can only help with recovery.

66. The simplicity is always there no matter how we may be feeling or what hardships we may face. The willingness to be open and bring understanding and no judgement to every moment is the difference between healing rather than harming our inner essence.

67. I spent one day a week for over a year visiting my Mum in an oncology unit in Surrey. It could be depressing, feel like a waiting room for those who were about to die, or the stress of either the staff or the patients. But at the same time I made some beautiful connections – with my Mum and siblings, with the other patients and the staff. It was in fact a very rich time as we all had plenty of space and there was a willingness to go there and talk about real things that mattered. It was a very interesting time and opened my eyes to the fact that we all have so much sweet fragility inside to share.

68. We often see cancer as something that needs to be fixed, to be got rid of, yet it is truly an opportunity to change our choices, and make life simply about loving ourselves and making more loving choices everyday.

69. There is a way to approach illness and disease that is nothing less than glorious. It is simply when we allow ourselves to consider that the disease is not a curse or misfortune but part of the wider healing that we need in order to return to Soul. When we make life about just this one life and the desires and set-ups we have created in this life, and the illness and disease comes along to shatter it, we shatter ourselves in the process. But if we let ourselves come back to the fact that this Life is one of many we have had and will have, as we continue to unravel ourselves back to our Soul, we let the illness expedite the process. The discomfort and the pain, and the onset of dying itself takes on a whole new perspective, one that is in harmony with our being and indeed nothing less than glorious lived.

70. Throughout you connected to your essence, divinity and love and brought these qualities to those everyone you met: other women, doctors, nurses and practitioners. You were not a victim of cancer, but a student learning and evolving through the gift of illness.

71. Beautiful Caroline. It’s easy to resist or dismiss those parts of our lives we don’t ‘like’ but to surrender and accept it all in totality and seek to understand its lessons makes life purposeful.

72. This article brings healing to a whole new level, whole being the optimal word. It brings in a framework or a guide of how to heal and where to heal. So often we get caught in healing the part that is hurt, broken or diseased without taking care and seeing how the rest of us fits into the healing. There is a whole approach here that doesn’t necessarily have a consistent outcome but more there is a dedication to an overall healing. What’s more it is showing that this approach is actually bringing with it many results, with respect this is what is there for all of us, a healing on many levels if we are opened to it.

73. This is a powerful message you share Fiona of surrendering to the simplicity of Love. As regardless of what is happening around us or how far away we have walk from ourselves, our Love remains solid within us, an eternal guide for us to return to being the Love we naturally are in essence and to heal what is not of this Love.

74. Every day we all face new ‘issues’, troubling circumstances and difficulties. But one thing is constant amidst all this – we always have a choice to be Love. To choose understanding, to be caring with ourselves and other people, to feel how life is, but not to buy into the drama. Fiona’s story shows there is nothing that can stop us from living with power, except the unloving energy we choose to let in.

75. To commit to each moment and what it brings to the very end is taking every opportunity to seek evolution… it is incredibly inspiring.

    1. Beautiful Caroline. It’s easy to resist or dismiss those parts of our lives we don’t ‘like’ but to surrender and accept it all in totality and seek to understand its lessons makes life purposeful.

76. A really beautiful sharing on how to be truly empowered through chemotherapy. To really take the responsibility that is required when going through such a process. One also that can leave you feeling very vulnerable and lacking in confidence. But your story has none of that at all.

77. The words written here touch powerfully on healing, illness and the state of us all as a human race. But most of all what Fiona has shared makes me super aware of the power of stopping and reflecting. Perhaps it’s not so surprising that our lives these days are jam packed full of tasks and events. For if we allowed ourselves the space to stop, just what would we feel? It makes me pause and consider that our true illness is driven by our flight from feeling and seeing we are driven by our spirit at the complete detriment to other people, our relationships and our body.

    1. You make a really good point here…what would we feel if we allowed ourselves to stop?

78. Not being present and fighting illness and disease I have found creates further problems. When we accept in full and completely surrender to the body we actually begin the process of healing. Very often when we are ill we are thinking about the future, thinking about finding ways to quickly fix the illness so that we can get back to how it was before we went ill instead of truly asking ourselves ‘what is the illness showing us and what can we learn from it?’

79. To know that every moment is a date with divinity is our responsibility.

80. There is a rawness and surrender to the truth of life and love that I find absolutely inspiring in this blog, we all know our truth, but we bury it beneath stuff we accumulate. Sometimes this imbalance in the body needs to be cleared, and in so doing we potentially have access to a deeper level of connection with ourselves and the universe, I’ll health or clearing,very different approaches.

81. Very inspiring Fiona thank you, true healing affects everyone involved, from those you sat with in the waiting area, to those who formed part of the healing process, to those who read your story and know you in life.

82. There is opportunity to be love in everything, even when receiving medicine and feeling very unwell, we can still be love in this situation.

83. “So I am me when I wait to see the oncologist and when the nurse administers the medication, and as I am me, I feel the presence of love between myself and the oncologist, the nurse, the receptionist and the other patients.”
    So the illness has blessed you and all around you? How gorgeous!

84. i love how you have embraced this opportunity to the fullest. its wonderful to see a cancer story like yours which is imbued with the knowing that this is not about recovery, but about how much you embraced all that occurred for its own majesty, and then it makes sense to me that after 6 years you were still smiling.

85. ‘I now can feel the beauty of the support Western Medicine gives me to clear the ill energy I allowed in because I was afraid to express the true me.’ Many people become disenchanted with western medicine because of its focus on the functional aspects of our body without considering our being-ness. But turning our backs on it is far from helpful. Acting in concert, western and esoteric medicine is a ‘best of both worlds’ offering, with western medicine providing the practical support, and esoteric medicine the understanding of what is taking place and why.

86. ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.’ A date with divinity – what a stunningly beautiful expression, and understanding. There is a majesty in the process of the body healing that is far from appreciated. We all tend to get caught up in the nuts and bolts of our diseases and conditions with no understanding of the bigger picture. This is not to dismiss the human difficulties and pain we encounter along the way but there is definitely more to the process than meets the eye

87. Fiona these are words of absolute wisdom, “keep going, accept nothing less than true love.”

88. I LOVED re-reading this and feeling the blessing that pours from this blog. When i read that ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity’, that’s when I felt the depth of inspiration of true responsibility, the surrender that is possible, the embracing that is always available and how we are only victims of disease when it strikes because of our choice. Illness offers a stop moment for us to realise we are so much more than human and at the same time, divinely confined in the realms of being fleshy and human — how much respect have we truly shown for our tender, physical and human bodies? Disease is not our enemy, and life is not a rollercoaster where we go on wayward ways unscathed. We are here to evolve, and return and disease is part of that journey to awaken us to the truth – of who we truly are.

89. God knows we have developed a habitual ability to make life complicated, but when you break that down and look beneath the surface, it is truly simple at heart to me. And what becomes clear is it is absolutely up to us which direction we want to go. And one thing is for sure, as this beautiful blog shows, our body will continually let us know the quality our choices. This is something to be hugely grateful for.

90. A beautiful inspiring sharing Fiona, one that many will be grateful for . That you share so much that is positive in your attitude and the experience you have been through.

91. A great point here made by Fiona ‘I have also learnt to let people in without taking on board their stuff or trying to rescue them, which in itself is a miracle.’ Not taking on other people’s stuff, and learning to watch and observe what is going on is a really freeing experience, allowing others to be where they are without wanting to change their choices for them, and accepting the choices they have made.

92. Awesome to feel how supported you felt during this time, a very humbling read, thank you.

93. ‘I have learnt so much.’ The utter humility, openness and simplicity of these words blows me away. You inspire me always Fiona in how you lived and embraced all that your cancer presented.

94. ‘It has cleared the arrogance of beliefs and ideals I held about health and healing and allowed me to find my own natural rhythm through life.’ Recently I’ve been ill a few times and have to have some work done on my teeth. It’s helped me see how arrogant and judgemental I have been about illness and helped me connect with the fact that we are all equal no matter who we are or what our health is. Being unwell has been very humbling.

95. This is so healing to read. I am especially inspired by, ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.’ I know there are things I need to address in my life and rather than see them as impediments – like the attitude that I’ve just got to get on and return to life as I want it to be – come to them with love and the healing I can allow to unfold.

96. I love what is shared about the tumour and illness saying “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love”. I, and I would imagine many of us, accept way less than true love, for ourselves and with other people. It is an absolute gift to have people like Fiona, who are willing to keep going deeper in the love they live. This blog and what she has discovered will serve as an ongoing inspiration for us all.

97. It almost feels like the point of the illness is missed if we just patch ourselves up so we can get back to life as normal. I have spoken to many people who see their illness otherwise, and would not trade the experience for anything. The illness has given them a significant stop and allowed them to review how they have been living. Often the things that need to change are obvious and were known before the diagnosis. It just took something serious to make them act on it. To me it seems we do not treat ourselves, our bodies, our life as precious until we face losing it.

98. A beautifully raw and vulnerable blog Fiona with so much warmth and joy in it. Very inspiring for anyone dealing with a serious medical condition, how you have accepted, even embraced your illness. You are showing us all that to have an illness or a disease, whether minor or serious, is actually a healing itself if we are open to what it is showing us.

99. ‘Having the tumour has slowed me down, made me say no to others and yes to me.’ There is nothing like a life-limiting illness to change how we approach life – well at least the potential to do so is there, if only we accept it. As noted, many go into a denial that is all about returning to how life was before the disease, or waiting until ‘fixed’ to implement change. Yet as Fiona has demonstrated, the illness is very much part of the learning and can present a beautiful opportunity for deep healing. Very inspiring.

100. When we truly embrace illness and disease we become aware and see what is on offer. We surrender and see the bigger picture; you could say the magic of God is at play clearing and healing the body. Most do not see illness and disease in this way, in fact some even blame God, but when we are willing to look at and address what the illness and disease is showing us, our relationship with illness and disease changes and we can learn so much about ourselves and the way we have been living.

101. From your blog it is so clear that life is not about what we do, if we are ill or not but about being ourselves in our divinity here on earth. Making life about this pure joy can be found in any moment.

102. Fiona shared with me once about how much she was learning from her cancer and how the medical staff and carers also were learning from her and loved the lightness and playfulness she brought to every chemotherapy session she attended.

103. Very inspiring and down to earth account of receiving chemo and how we can choose to look at illness and disease.

104. You make a very powerful point here Bryony . . . .”Ironically this reductionism often causes more reactions than what we perceive others will react to.” This just goes to show that when we hold back our power we give permission for the energy to have a field day with everyone involved.

105. I love what is shared by Fiona here about learning to appreciate what is possible with the ‘marriage’ of Western Medicine and Esoteric Healing and the bigger picture available when working with them together.
     “From believing Western Medicine had no role to play in healing, I have now learnt how essential it is if used alongside the esoteric, not as a way to numb out or not take responsibility for the choices I made, but as a true support for me to truly heal. From feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work”.

106. Love this, it is in truly listening to what the body shares by developing this cancer is truly healing.

107. What a beautiful inspiration Fiona, your reflection to all the staff is truly lovely. Your acceptance to allowing your body to heal with the support of deeper self care and western medicine, and changing the way you have been living is inspiring.

108. Yes deeply inspiring Doug, reading Fiona’s blogs offers a completely different way and energy about having cancer then we have seen before. I know even for myself if my body was to clear through cancer the ever loving support of blogs like these, western medicine plus esoteric medicine would be there in full.

109. What a inspiring reflection Fiona offered the ladies and the staff in the oncology unit by staying with herself and not needing to get anywhere or be anything but herself.

110. It is very touching and inspiring to read and feel the love and acceptance in this blog. You must have been like a ray of sunshine in that oncology clinic.

111. “discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.” what a different and inspiring way of looking at any illness or disease, its quite incredible perspective that we can all learn from.

112. This is a lovely sharing Fiona, very inspiring, ‘Having the tumour has slowed me down, made me say no to others and yes to me, made my relationships more fun, given me time to explore sides of my expression I had never made time for.’

113. Western Medicine and Esoteric Medicine work beautifully well together. While the Western Medicine treats with medicine to help the body heal, the Esoteric Medicine looks at the cause energetically and if truly worked with, with an Esoteric Practitioner it can be cleared from the body. As we can have a tumour removed surgically but the energetic cause of why it came to be in the first place would still be there. Hence, later it could possibly manifest again in another (or the same) illness or dis-ease within the body, as it has not been truly cleared. I loved what you shared here ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.’ This is not always easy to do, acknowledge the lovelessness we have lived in, take responsibility for our health and to also see the divine in everything. By seeing each treatment as a date with divinity shows you have come a long way. One thing I do feel, no matter how low funds are, I am sure chairs can be found for oncology waiting rooms, or any waiting rooms for that fact, where people do not have to stand. I went to a breast care clinic yesterday for a check up and people can be either nervous, worried or anxious, so trying to make any patient’s time a little easier by providing a chair could make a difference. ‘In the oncology waiting room it can be standing room only and you may have to allow hours to be seen.’

114. There is always stillness if we choose to feel it, and Fiona did, and in the midst of cancer treatment, what an inspiration and a reminder that no matter what, we can choose how we are.

115. “Life will not return to how it was”‘ absolutely makes a profound and true statement if we want to cure ourselves from our past illnesses! There is so much you have shared that many will find enlightening and very supportive in their own healing process.

116. These are profound words by a very wise woman . . . “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” I am inspired by these words of wisdom as they can be applied to every situation we have before us. Everything is a date with divinity and an opportunity to express our true love and beauty from our body.

     1. Vicky, I love how you broaden this powerful sentence by Fiona with regards to her cancer treatment and how we can apply this to every situation we have before us.
        “Everything is a date with divinity and an opportunity to express our true love and beauty from our body”.

117. Just divine Fiona, and as you learnt to accept the tumour and what the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness in your body, the words you speak and how you express is emanating the love that naturally comes from you and your body. A miraculous change in all you mentioned: expressing the true you, letting people in, not taking other’s stuff on, or trying to rescue another; to be able to truly listen to another is truly valuable and accept another’s choices — saying yes to me and no to others… and so much more. The esoteric way of life is a blessing and teachings you never stop learning from.

118. Deeply inspiring indeed Fiona. I am not the least bit surprised that the doctors were blown away by how you recovered. Your greatest responsibility was to deeply appreciate and care for yourself, and in doing that, that your body responded. Amazing..

119. What a gift to read this blog today Fiona, healing is so beyond what I was ever brought up to know, I don’t think my family were ever given the grace of someone in their lives to say, the way you live is your medicine. I feel blessed to have many people in mine who, thanks to the inspirations from Serge Benhayon walking his life as medicine and sharing with us tips and the importance of simplicity, now equally walk that way of living as an example and inspiration for others. You were one of those people and to have shared a room on the retreat with you, to have seen it in action after a round of chemo, well I thank you.

120. We often talk of death as losing, but what Fiona shares here feels like a win for humanity to me. For if we all read her words, we could not avoid the fact that the difficulties and hardships in our life are not the heavy weight we make out – but a gift specially presented for us to understand and unwrap. We are all like 7 billion kids being showered with presents, like Christmas everyday yet until now we mostly throw the gifts away. What would our life be like if we just started to open up the gifts that come our way?

121. The depth of experience Fiona has expressed here is inspiring beyond words. To be faced with something so challenging at every level, and to take what she did from it, is extraordinary. It shows what is possible when we open up to such a situation being an opportunity to evolve.

122. I can feel the blessing in all that Fiona learnt along the way during her treatments. It highlights that life presents many opportunities everyday for us to not only see the love that is all around us but to choose that for ourselves.

123. What an amazingly different take on what having chemotherapy treatments can be like. ‘Having a date with divinity’ is not what you would normally hear when a person is going to have chemo, so what you are sharing here is absolutely incredible and deeply inspiring.

124. Thank you Fiona for sharing this. Many things spoke to me whilst reading this the two main ones being this should be studied more how true self-love and self-care alongside conventional medicine can aid healing. Everyone should know this and be supported with this ‘The latest scan shows all the lesions in the liver, lungs, axillary nodes, breast and chest wall are reducing and the bones are healing. The wound on the breast is dry now and almost healed over. The oncologist’s comment was two wows! He felt I responded so well because of the deep care I take of myself and my body and because I had no other illnesses to complicate the picture.’ The second is … they obviously need to put more chairs in the oncology unit so people can sit down and rest while waiting to be seen, care needs to be with every aspect 💕

125. Wow Fiona that is really inspiring – you wrote: “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” You are really taking your responsibility for how you lived your life!

126. Love to revisit this blog and all the deep wisdom that is shared. I feel I receive a healing just reading your words Fiona, as you express so simply, yet so lovingly from your heart…. which invites me to do the same.

127. It’s truly inspiring to feel you Fiona and how you have approached this illness with such grace, joy and lightness. As women we can fall into the trap of ‘doing’ even in illness and this can present as the activity of ‘fighting the cancer’. What I feel from you Fiona is the surrender of acceptance, the focus being on your quality during the treatments, instead of solutions or cures. When I say surrender, I do not mean that you in any way you ‘give up’ but the illness is calling for you to ‘give up’ an old way of being and from what I read in this blog you not only hear that call but you answer it with love.

128. Fiona this is so inspiring. I can feel the stillness and fullness of you, and your appreciation of all that life offers.

129. What this blog offers is such an acceptance and a humbleness to fully embrace life no matter what and to embrace cancer, chemotherapy and all that brings is amazing. I am deeply humbled, touched and inspired to understand and feel what life and divinity offer us and that no matter what the road is, there is always a choice to love and deepen that love – Fiona shows how it can be done.

130. I have never known anyone who has embraced the dying process and ‘befriended’ her failing body like Fiona McGovern did. Absolutely inspirational.

131. Each time, there is something new to feel and understand here, that life is simple but it may not always be easy, and that it’s about coming back to the love we are and each thing we meet allows that is we allow it, be it cancer, a job-loss or an accident. I love how Fiona embraced each step with loving care and dedication and how there was an acceptance and a surrender into what was offered in each treatment and that cancer provided the reflection of those places where more love was needed. I feel this is the way for us all to live and Fiona’s line ‘ … about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything’ describe what life is about, no matter how life is and each of us gets exactly what we need to show and highlight this for us in life.

132. I don’t have cancer but I do not feel truly vital either. So where does that put me on the scale of illness and disease? In the past I may have said, “I’m fine, just a few aches and pains, and sure I don’t feel great but I’m ok.” but with the understanding I now have from the presentations of Universal Medicine, I know that the way my body feels is dis-eased. It might not be what we see as serious dis-ease but any move away from the natural vitality and harmony in our bodies is a strong message that all is not well. I can go into trying to fix this, to search for solutions to try to get back to feeling well, but this trying is also a dis-ease which is contributing to the overall lack of vitality in me. To simply allow myself to be, to discover the beauty of me ‘without trying to be better or fix anything’ as Fiona has shared, allows the space to be honest about how we feel and to recognise our responsibility for our own healing. The next choice then becomes clear – do I choose self-love or self-disregard? Only one will lead to healing the dis-ease in the body.

133. There is no treatment or cure, no medicine or potion that comes close to understanding that each and every moment of our life is rich beyond what we think. When we stop trying to push through to ‘a better day’ or a glorious future, we at last can find we had everything, right here all the time. With appreciations for these words Fiona.

134. “For me, life will not return to how it was.” If we don’t change our choices and live differently, is it possible that how we lived previously enabled the cancer to take hold. So ‘returning to normal’ is not what is needed. A new normal is what is required. If we return to the same old (way of living) we may get the same old (disease) elsewhere in the body – metastases. Yet after a big illness so many want to return to their old life – because it is what they know – no change required – comfortable – but possibly deadly.

135. “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. It seems to say to me “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love.” This is such an empowering blog. Inspirational for anyone currently in the medical system.

136. So often, when we are ill and facing unpleasant procedures, we race to get them over, we suspend our lives, believing that we will resume them when what we are experiencing is done. This attitude comes not only from us but from others too and pervades our lives into so many things. I just have to get Christmas over and done with; I’ll push myself while I do this course and then I will take care of myself; I’ll do this treatment and then things can get back to normal: what I felt in your writing Fiona, was your complete commitment to life and being present in every moment. It is beautiful to feel this and to realise how important it is to be living in the present and not looking forward to living some kind of ideal in the future that may never happen.

137. Thank you Fiona and Angela, absolutely as Serge Benhayon presents Universal Medicine and Western Medicine are the perfect marriage as this article is a testament to.

138. This is super inspiring…. I too have long given up my arrogance and resistance to Western Medicine. This has been replaced with respect, appreciation and understanding as I have realised and experienced for myself the true and deep healing that can occur when Western Medicine is used side-by-side with esoteric medicine.

     1. They are the perfect partners. Each one supporting the other and each one providing something that the other one can’t.

139. This blog not only illustrates how our perception of illness is all around the wrong way, but also speaks to how bizarre it is, we have to wait till ‘disaster strikes’ and illness intervenes, to take a moment to appreciate and feel the true grandness of who we are. This is actually here waiting for us to connect, all the time. With thanks to Fiona.

     1. If an illness can support us to re-connect to our original grandness then what a blessing. Truly what a blessing.

140. Fiona – your comment about the simplicity of truth caught my eye. Our ability to slice through all the hooks that try to take us off on side tracks is raised substantially if we are willing to be very honest with ourselves.

141. Wow we spend so much of our lives dealing and fighting with illness. What if we made true wellness the heart of our day? The words shared in this blog bring home to me that Love lives in the fabric, the threads of every moment we live. All we need do is connect and see. I deeply appreciate what Fiona has written here.

142. How beautiful to read that there is not reaction here at all about your diagnosis, only to see each and every moment, the here and now. To focus on loving and nurturing your body, letting go of the should have, could have mentality and deeply caring for yourself. It was a pleasure to read.

143. this beautiful article confirms that healing can be in every interaction, and every situation, even with cancer and chemotherapy – we always have the potential in every moment to bring love, to heal and to allow evolution for all.

144. The simplicity and surrendering you have brought to your life through your experience of illness is inspiring. I have no doubt that you brought a lot of light into the lives of the many other women who were also going through treatment at the same time as you, not to mention the health professionals who were also involved. Thank you Fiona for sharing your story.

     1. Surrendering is an enormous part of healing that I am only just beginning to understand, and it works on many levels, as we surrender more deeply, the greater insight and awareness, and stillness is possible

145. “From feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work.” Wow Fiona acceptance, surrender and claiming the divine love and beauty that you are is deeply felt whilst reading your inspiring personal experience with breast cancer.

146. Fiona thank you so much for sharing your story. The deep wisdom and love you have connected to through the experience of your illness is truly inspirational, the love is felt in the way express.

147. “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. It seems to say to me “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love”.” This was another standout for me, Fiona, and I feel your divinity in your words here. You only know you’re on a date with divinity when you are connected with your divinity. I so love how Soul brings us these packages of love through our illness and healing and our awareness through these times of challenge and learning. What a blessing.

148. “So I am me when I wait to see the oncologist and when the nurse administers the medication, and as I am me, I feel the presence of love between myself and the oncologist, the nurse, the receptionist and the other patients.” How healing to start each treatment from this understanding and presence. Medicine, you and God. What more do you need – you have the true healing package.

149. When I first looked, I was sure your artwork reflected a breast with all it’s beautiful mammary ducts and glands and pathways curving through it. I then realised these were actually the word ‘simplicity’. It’s like your inspiration came from nature but was felt through your breasts, Fiona. Beautiful…

150. “For me, these walks are a way to feel the joy of simply living and a reminder that although sometimes life is not easy, the truth is always simple, beauty-full and there is always stillness if we choose to feel it. Nature reflects that for me.” I have learned that the truth is simple so if it is feeling complicated I have made it that way and there is something to look at.

151. What you have presented here is a huge departure from the way people look at medicine and healing.

152. “He felt I responded so well because of the deep care I take of myself and my body and because I had no other illnesses to complicate the picture”-
     Fiona, your high level of self-love, self-nurturing and commitment to life is evident in reading your experience after receiving chemotherapy. You are a beautiful inspiration for others who also suffer from any major illness.

153. What you write in the paragraph about what the tumour has shown you in life is amazing to read, it challenges so much about being a victim of circumstance, of what many consider to be the fight of their life. Illness does offer insight in to where we are at, and offers reflection for us to consider. The understanding and awareness that you have reached through being open to this reflection is awesome to read.

154. ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. ‘ – amazing Fiona! This is a breath of fresh air to how the world sees cancer and how we can feel victims to our situation – using each treatment as a reminder of being a victim – but for you to see this as divinity and the healing that comes with each treatment and how your body accepts not only the cancer, but how you have been living to have allowed you to get cancer in the first place, this is a huge healing. Wow.

155. The discovery that we are enough just as we are is probably the biggest treasure trove we can find.

156. Truly inspirational Fiona. I love how the esoteric has influenced your feelings about having a tumour, “From feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work.” Beautiful.

157. Fiona,
     I have re read your sharing above today and again I am mesmerised by your openness and loving commitment to your self. Just last night I could feel the call from my body to deepen my own level of deep nurturing and adjusting the way that I live to support this. Reading your article has supported me no end to follow through with what my body is calling for.

158. A double wow indeed! These blogs from Fiona consistently show a deep level of acceptance that is beautiful to read. It makes me wonder what is possible if we choose to accept ourselves before something as serious as cancer comes around.

159. I am moved and feel blessed for every blog I have read from you in which you share about your healing journey, thank you Fiona.

160. Thank you Lee also for your insight, it can be an ingrained habit to be ‘getting through’, an illness, a work day, even for some a ‘family dinner’, and afterwards seek relief or a reward for making it to the end, which is usually just going into an old comfort pattern to check out once again. But it means this is the quality we are bringing to the whole experience and to everyone we meet. If instead we stay connected, to ourselves and to others, then it doesn’t matter what we doing or where we are, as we will be bringing a true quality, a fullness and a connection to all. This is truly freedom – to be ourselves no matter what we are doing.. and from that fullness, there will never be a need to reward or seek relief.

161. Wow Fiona, what an observation that ‘For these 18 weeks I have sat in a day ward full of other women receiving their treatment. As soon as one seat is vacated another woman fills it. In the oncology waiting room it can be standing room only and you may have to allow hours to be seen’. This clearly illustrates how overwhelmingly busy and intense the demand is and the sheer volume of people Conventional Medicine is presently treating. And with our escalating rates of disease of illness how long will it be until the system collapses with this level of responsibility of caring for so many in need?

162. How beautifully you have chosen, Fiona. Not to go into failure, but simply use the stop-sign being offered to learn and make a change. Wow.

163. It was a gift to read this blog Fiona. You totally opened yourself up and let humanity in, your living way with the disease called cancer is truly inspirational. I love your art work and your inner knowing to keep things simple would be such a strength for you.
     “I have also learnt to let people in without taking on board their stuff or trying to rescue them, which in itself is a miracle.” I struggle with this but take inspiration from you and your article now, thank you.

164. “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.” – Wow Fiona, what a revolutionary way of being with illness – or with any issue that comes up in life. I can feel in your article the absolute beauty and grace of accepting what is going on for your body but not letting it become you or define you. It is a beautiful lesson – thank you so much for sharing!

165. This has been a beautiful confirming article for me to read. I had just been noticing how easy it can be to get locked in a story I had created and keep reinforcing it over and over again. When I was presented with the next issue, one where I would normally look for solutions, run with my latest theory or story and get frustrated about having to deal with what I wasn’t doing, was feeling who I am and simply being me and emanating this essence in any given moment.

166. In the course of this blog Fiona shared, despite illness, she was not living for survival instead she chose ‘Committing to life here and now’ and she did this in so many remarkable ways. Through love and acceptance of herself and others, being available and present for relationships and willing to let people in, taking responsibility in so many ways and most touching of all “….. discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.” In illness and even after you have passed Fiona you remind and inspire me what it is to live ~ Thank you.

167. It was an honour to be given a glimpse into a world not usually experienced and so beautiful to read of how you are with it, offering others a reflection of a different way to be with cancer and chemotherapy. It is deeply inspiring to feel how you approach everything with such love and grace and embrace the beauty in life and in yourself. Just gorgeous.

168. You inspire with your story Fiona. Your message of how to be whether in sickness or in health it is always with embracing it with all of you.

169. Every illness we have is something to heal and learn from. Opening up seeing it this way will make us realise the enormity of the gift our bodies are giving us with every illness. The gift to reflect and work on the root cause.

170. This blog is a true embracement of one’s healing process through illness and disease. – “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” This is a true gift when we see it in it’s true light such as you have Fiona.

171. I resonated with the comment “There is always stillness if we choose to feel this’. It is this stillness that you so preciously shared that brings me closer to appreciating what we as women share with one another and how that is what is often the missing ingredient that we over ride in our day.

172. Thank you Fiona for this inspirational blog.
     Your case shows so obviously what a difference it can make if we become honest and take responsibility for our bodies and lives.

173. This for me is pure gold and a truth that is unwavering: “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” It is a simplicity we have walked away from but thanks to this blog is given back to humanity to reconsider.

174. Each time I have read this blog I cry. I have had someone close to me go through chemotherapy but I didn’t make the space to support them practically with this. Reading your blog gives me a sense of what the actual process of chemo is like and allows me to feel we are all precious and each deserve to experience the same graciousness and support you have shared so beautifully.

     1. We are all so delicate underneath it all.

175. “From feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work.” This is gorgeous Fiona…so beautiful that you can see and feel the gift of healing that is on offer here for you. Working on an oncology ward for the past 5 years I have also had the opportunity to observe many people with cancer, and so often it is seen as something to fight, and once the battle is ‘won’, to be able to then reclaim the old known way of living. Rarely is it seen and or accepted as the gift that it is…and this you share in your experience so clearly here. How awesome if this was in an oncology waiting room for all to read and be inspired by.

176. What Fiona describe here is so fabulous: “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. It seems to say to me “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love”. From believing Western Medicine had no role to play in healing, I have now learnt how essential it is if used alongside the esoteric, not as a way to numb out or not take responsibility for the choices I made, but as a true support for me to truly heal.” and I can feel her smile in every word. What a Grace!

177. If the future and the past start losing their power over us, we will realize how much we made our lives about anything but the present moment.
     Space and stillness will take the places of hectic and stress.

178. “I see each treatment as a date with divinity” – this is such an inspirational approach to chemotherapy, it rocks the world of medicine. Thank you for writing down your story Fiona, it needs to be shared and inspire the very needed change in our approach to illness and disease.

179. Fiona, your absolute acceptance of simplicity is a deepening of the connection itself to divinity with the Godliness that we can all bring. This experience of connecting deeply within yourself as you have shared is an experience that most women would love to have – especially during such challenging times as chemotherapy, but also just in any time in their lives. Thank you for sharing and showing that there is a way to be with chemotherapy that allows you to be with you and love who you are.

     1. Henrietta, as you say, the “experience of connecting deeply within yourself as” Fiona has shared “is an experience that most women would love to have . . . . . in any time of their lives”. However, it sometimes takes a serious illness or disease for a woman to make such a choice, yet the choice to connect more deeply with ourselves is always available – we just have to choose it. Thank you Fiona for sharing your journey.

180. This is a very honest sharing and beautiful to feel the acceptance of your cancer and the appreciation for everything you continue to learn – Wisdom speaks.

     1. Hear Hear Abby, wisdom and grace speak.

     2. Thank you Fiona and Abby, I agree, absolutely the power of truth is so revealing!

181. “He felt I responded so well because of the deep care I take of myself and my body and because I had no other illnesses to complicate the picture”. Fiona, the message that true self-nurturing can be a great support when going through chemotherapy is one, which all cancer patients need to hear and embody. When I had chemotherapy for life-threatening cancer 22 years ago, I had no concept of what it meant to self-nurture but there was a level, which I did, naturally so, with the support of my then partner. In retrospect, had I known then what I have since become aware of, thanks to the presentations by Serge Benhayon, without a doubt my experience of chemo would have been greatly improved. Thank you for sharing these important messages.

     1. There is nothing that self care doesn’t support us in, self care supports us in absolutely everything that we do. And as simple as it sounds, it is nonetheless a fact that it is because life is missing true self care that it is so totally out of whack. Bring in true self care and life starts to rebalance itself.

182. “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.” It really is beautiful and inspiring how you have accepted you and where your body is at… and through listening to your body have allowed yourself to deepen in your relationships and way of living.

     1. I found it very courageous of Fiona to go deeper than cure and normality of life to embrace something even more special that lives inside everyone…

183. Fiona, I feel your true miracle is your change of heart towards your true love and deep nurturing for yourself. It is easy to say and to understand, yet to really feel into those old patterns and ways of being and to change a lifetime of choices that others around us got used to, is very brave indeed. Allowing the simplicity is so supportive and honouring of what is needed.

184. Gorgeous Fiona. No matter what happens we can learn, we can see where we can choose love. You have been an amazing reflection of that. As you say although life is not always easy, we have truth and that’s simple. Your words touch me deeply as I feel how you’ve lived everything you’ve written. Your reflection and insights offer so much, and today show me that any ‘failure’ or mishap or disease is a call to be more love, and without it I would not have that opportunity to see and understand – wow.

     1. I agree Monica, reading this blog I feel that it is just not necessary to get caught up in complications and dramas or life and that it is possible to let yourself be, to grow and learn – even when your body is shutting down, it is possible to blossom.

185. Beautifully expressed Fiona. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom such that others may learn and feel the truth in what you offer. I feel that when you say not to wait until the chemo is over but to live your life during it, is applicable to many situations. I often find myself trying to get through something, whether it be a short illness, a meeting or a project, and hoping that when it is complete, I will be able to have the freedom to be myself. As you have shown through your experience, now is the time to be our true selves, in each and every moment. Thank you for the beautiful reflection and inspiration.

     1. Thank you for your beautiful reflection also Lee…I can so relate to what you say here. I am currently on holiday but beforehand I was seeing this holiday as this special time in the future where I would be free to be me and do whatever I felt to with no time constraints. However what I have come to realise is that this was compartmentalising my life…I will get through work, be me at home when I’m alone, be different with family…rather than bringing that freedom to be me everywhere in my life – as you say, “in each and every moment.” Very inspiring.

     2. Yes Lee so true the love and inspiration supports us all in our return to be the Sons of God. Thank God for the inspiration which is humbly available to all of humanity from Serge Benhayon!

186. Beautiful Fiona, what you have shared is truly divine. The way you have taken full responsibility for and seen the opportunity your illness and its subsequent medical treatment has offered you is truly inspirational and definitely a lesson in the evolution of life for us all. Conventional Medicine is truly a blessing in our societies battle against disease and illness and as you have experienced the support of Universal Medicines modalities and practitioners not only complements and enhances that blessing but also supports your commitment to healing as you say ‘the true you’.

187. Beautiful Fiona, this is so great to read. I find what you share here very inspiring: “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. It seems to say to me “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love”.” Seeing life and illness and diseases as a date with divinity is amazing. It makes everything that happens an opportunity to reflect and learn more and more about living true love and accepting nothing less. That is all life is truly about.

188. Very inspiring Fiona. Thank you for giving us first hand proof of how powerful choice is. And what an amazing reflection you are for any other women sitting in those waiting rooms who might be scared, anxious, angry etc. They would feel the stillness of your presence offering them an opportunity to surrender also. Pretty cool!

189. Thank you Fiona. You brought great healing to not just you, but many others during your treatment. You have shown that we can choose the type of energy that runs through our body. Awesome blog.

190. Thank you Fiona for sharing this all inspiring blog, — “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body” — this is absolute beauty and I can only say I will put it into practice – for me every moment will be a date with divinity.

191. Many look for the cure, for the quick fix and that’s where we let us be tricked into alternative or new age therapies. Whereas true healing starts with honesty and feeling what is there to be felt and making changes in the way I live day-to-day.

192. “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.”

     What you present here Fiona is something very different and a vast change for the way people look at medicine and healing. It is very courageous and ground breaking to say the things you are saying in face of what the rest of the world sees as the “correct” way of dealing with these things emotionally.

     What you offer is an example of a new way of looking at things, for us to really get underneath why our waiting rooms are in such a state, as you describe in the first paragraph.

     Thanks for your inspiration and being willing to share what you have learnt.

193. The way in which you have delt with iliness is quite admirable, very couragous and honest. Thanks Fiona for the inspiration

194. simply love everything you wrote Fiona, your inspiration is timeless.

195. “With the support of Universal Medicine I have chosen another way to be, a natural way, a deeply nurturing and self-honouring way – one where I am committed to life here and now, including the chemotherapy. So I am me when I wait to see the oncologist and when the nurse administers the medication, and as I am me, I feel the presence of love between myself and the oncologist, the nurse, the receptionist and the other patients.”
     I am touched with how Fiona so clearly reflects that we are bigger than our circumstance and bigger than illness or disease, that we can in one instance take greatest care of ourself to the most intricate detail, and at the same time observe and provide immense love to all around us, and that we can shine, and be a point of inspiration wherever we are and whatever our circumstance.

196. A clear testimony of the difference that it makes to incorporate the esoteric truth alongside a conventional treatment. The image of the oncology waiting room says it all.

197. “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.”
     Fiona- I’m just blown away by your resilience, courage, honesty, fragility, humbleness and commitment to life by choosing more self loving, self nurturing and honouring ways to live as a woman, whilst having chemotherapy. To not have a need to get to, or attachment to the outcome is very inspiring.

198. It is very beautiful and inspiring to read this blog. So many people who I come across who are receiving treatment for cancer or is close to someone that is, always talk about it with dread. Your positive and responsible approach to your treatment and your overall health is nothing short of miraculous, and offers humanity a glorious glimpse into the life of a person living the Way of the Livingness, a religion that connects us back to who we are and allows us the grace to understand the true nature of illness. Absolutely gorgeous Fiona.

199. It is a blessing to us when we are able to accept the Western Medicine as a modality that lovingly supports us in clearing the ill energies we have let into our bodies and which have led to the configured ill conditions that needs to be healed in order to evolve in life.

200. I got so much out of this blog, thanks Fiona.

201. I love your beautiful description of how your illness helped heal a lot in your life.

202. What an amazing reflection you have been Fiona – for all those who met you during your illness and treatment and now those who get to read your blogs and be so inspired. I can’t even fathom the fullness of what you’ve brought with your experiences Fiona, and thank you for sharing them with us all.

     1. What you say is so true Amelia. Not only has Fiona brought provided an increased awareness about illness and health, about appreciation and self responsibililty , and about the powerful synergy between conventional medicine, Universal Medicine and personal care – she has also been a great inspiration showing how each of us can be such a great point of light in the lives of all around us when we simply choose to live in our fullness – and that our ability to live in our fullness is unrelated to our circumstances.

        1. Absolutely, I love re-reading Fiona’s blogs as they bring illness and disease in a true perspective and I learned so much from them. I lost my fear of illness and dying and am absolutely inspired by her and her amazing joy to live in her fullness.

203. What a very inspiring blog – thank you Fiona. To share your story with the world and your great learning brings a way of embracing cancer and the healing that this disease is offering humanity. A very powerful and beautiful reflection indeed.

204. Imagine if everyone who had cancer and went through chemotherapy saw “each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” This changes our whole perspective of illness and disease and puts it a very different light. It is so easy to see cancer as a dark period in our lives instead of an opportunity to change a life time of lovelessness.

205. Thank you Fiona – how powerful this is ‘For me, life will not return to how it was.’
     What an absolute commitment you have found to love and nurturing your body. It shows there is another way.

206. Dear Fiona, tonight I am re reading your article and again I am full of love and appreciation for you and how you have chosen to live during and after your many cancer treatments. This is truly beautiful to feel and to be a part of through you sharing it. Tonight what stands out for me is the following ‘I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life, when I see it as divinity at work’. This is exactly what I needed to connect with tonight. Right at the moment there is something in my life that I am allowing myself to feel in a way I never have before. In the feeling of it I am discovering that there is no blame, but the simpleness of choice, that I have always had, and knowing that it is divinity at work is the support that will help me to take it even deeper, to release the very deep ingrained hurt, and to open up more, giving myself permission to be me and express as me more than I ever have done before.

     1. Leighstrack what a beautiful comment and one that asks all to be more. I love the last line……divinity at work is the support that will help me to take it even deeper, to release the very deep ingrained hurt, and to open up more, giving myself permission to be me and express as me more than I have ever done before. I will take these words into this day. Thank you.

207. Thank you Fiona for your inspirational blog of self nurturing, self caring and the willingness to heal. What an amazing journey and PS: I love your drawing.

208. This is a beautifully inspiring blog Fiona. You offer so much wisdom and truth through your claiming of your divinity through your experience. Your magnificence shines though as you reflect the joy of choosing another way to be and live. One that embraces the power of your love through self-love and deep care. And I love what you say here – ‘the truth is always simple, beauty-full and there is always stillness if we choose to feel it. Nature reflects that for me.’ – gorgeous, thank you.

209. Amazing sharing Fiona. It is so healing to hear someone talk about breast cancer in this way, rather than in terms of “the fight” that so many think they have to go into to “beat” this disease. You have shown that disease is not something to be ashamed of, but rather a part of life that can be dealt with in a way that is truly honouring of ourselves and others.

     1. Yes absolutely, Adam, how Fiona openly embraced her healing process is indeed inspiring beyond words.

        1. Adam and Janet and Fiona this way of being with cancer I feel would transform the way we currently deal with the disease, our medical system and all those affected by the disease. Bringing forth great understanding, awareness and true healing.

210. Fiona your blog and story is deeply inspiring for any woman and in particular for all women going through chemotherapy. I love this line “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body.” Wow, now this is something. Your blog has led me to reflect on harsh I was with myself when I went through chemotherapy, very much resisting it and not wanting to have it. However, 7 years on from having chemo, I am deeply grateful for what it offers as it possibly saved my life. As too I am deeply grateful for the Esoteric Healing modalities and the Ageless Wisdom for showing me that there is another way.

     1. I too love that line Donna. This view can be applied to all aspects of life. When we can appreciate that every single one of us are unfolding back to who we are, that every reflection in life has a seed of understanding and healing for us in this unfolding, every moment becomes a date with divinity. And no date is more intimate than the one reflected by our own body, the one which we have from within our own self.

        1. Beautifully said Golnaz. Yes every moment is a date with divinity, and the intimacy that I am feel coming from within as I meet each date is too exquisite for words.

211. Fiona, how incredibly amazing that you have seen cancer for the true blessing it really is and so inspirational to read all the harming ways of being you have chosen to heal with love because of it. My attitude towards cancer and other serious illnesses or seeming tragedies in life has changed after reading this, what you bring to others through the way you choose to be in this world is deeply healing in itself. Thank you.

212. Learning to let people in without taking on their stuff or trying to rescue them and to express from love certainly is a miracle. Universal Medicine is supporting me to do the same, it allows me to stay being me without getting affected and therefore allows others to find their own way.

     1. ‘Learning to let people in without taking on their stuff or trying to rescue them and to express from love’ are the keys to the Way of the Livingness. Many people have now chosen to live this way thanks to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon. For such people, ‘miracles’ become the norm!

213. A date with divinity….now that is a whole new approach to a chemotherapy treatment. Thank you Fiona.

214. It is beautiful to re-visit this blog, and feel the grace with which Fiona describes her healing process, without an ounce of fear, self judgement or attachment to an outcome. It deeply inspired me to consider that this is possible when we are faced with a life threatening illness.

215. Fiona your blogs have helped me view the medical profession, medicine and how we approach it in a different light. The simplicity, care and responsibility in which you’ve approached your condition and healing process is something of a role model. Thank you, as it’s very supportive to read.

     1. Agreed David. Fiona is an amazing inspiration.

216. Fiona what you have written here is truly inspiring. You are a master of acceptance. Accepting all the help and support you need. Accepting the travel and the waiting. Accepting that the cause of the cancer is lack of expression from fear. Accepting that you have the cancer and clearing all judgment, criticism, fear, self-pity, and beliefs. Accepting that the body knows how to heal itself and there is great beauty and wisdom in the healing process as the body is bought back into balance. Accepting that every day is an opportunity learn and heal and be with people. What a great blessing you have given to humanity.

     1. Thank you Bernard. Reading through the list of all the areas of acceptance you are acknowledging Fiona for, I got the immense wisdom that lies in acceptance.

     2. Beautiful what you have expressed here Bernard around this glorious word; acceptance. My experience is that acceptance of the illness/disease (including treatment) allows us to ‘surrender’ rather than ‘fight’ which makes a huge difference in terms of what unfolds in whether we just want the quick fix or do we truly want to learn, heal and evolve….

217. Fiona I can feel the amazingness of you when reading this and a deep appreciation of what you offered all those women and medical staff whom you met on this journey. Your story continues to inspire.

218. Dear Fiona,

     I can feel the beauty in your words and how you have embraced your illness and treatment as an opportunity to go deeper into feeling who you are as your essence.

     I love how you have gracefully and truly loved all those around you, just by being you.

     What also struck me was when you shared that there was often only standing room. Could this be possible, chemotherapy patients having to stand for hours? This really does highlight the change that is necessary within our whole health system. I am sure the doctors and nurses must find it extremely difficult working within these constraints.

219. I find it fascinating as you said Fiona that the intention for most people with cancer is to beat it and get back to life as it was before. There seems to be an inbuilt blinker which says don’t look at being responsible for any part in this disease – it’s just your bad luck or genes etc., and so we waste an opportunity to consider what the disease is actually showing us.

     1. Thank you Fiona and Judy, I agree how lost are we when everything that happens to us is out side us, so it is not our fault!

     2. It is indeed a waste of opportunity to go around with blinkers when cancer or any other disease knocks on our door. There is nothing more intimate than the messages that we get from within our own body, and the wisdom we can develop by listening to our body, observing the impact of our choices on it and learning from it, is second to none.

220. Pure inspiration: “Sometimes life is not easy, the truth is always simple, beauty-full and there is always stillness if we choose to feel it. Nature reflects that for me.” This woman was / is pure gold.

221. Fiona you are not only healing yourself but the many people you shared the treatment with. “Having the tumour has slowed” you down and in the process you discovered yourself and decided to live the life you know is truly yours. A very inspiring blog.

222. The calmness and grace of you Fiona can be felt when reading this blog. Your acceptance of simply being you, just as you are, is very inspiring. I have an old habit of pushing myself and your blog is very inspiring to simply live with me and accept and honour myself. A true story of healing.

223. This article was indeed a joy to read and takes away the belief that having cancer and chemo is to be feared. Who would have thought that getting cancer is a way to heal the lovelessness within the body, but it makes sense. Very inspiring article.

     1. Who would have thought that getting cancer is a way to heal the lovelessness within the body, but it makes sense. It makes so much sense Julie as our bodies always know exactly what we need to release and what we need to heal; so intelligent and wise our bodies are…and all we have to do is listen to them.

        1. I am gob-smacked by the elegance and grace and intelligence of the body’s ability to bring itself back into balance. As Julie says clear the fear, as Jacqueline says listen to the body. And as Fiona has done accept the healing and allow the body to return to harmony. Just Beautiful.

224. This blog is so powerful and inspiring Fiona. To feel the love you have found for yourself and how that has allowed your body to heal is just amazingly beautiful.

225. I absolutely love the graceful account of a deep appreciation in this article. The love and understanding for the people with illness as well as the medical staff, in their fragility and challenges is touching. The appreciation of the loving support provided by Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and conventional medicine is a joy to read. And the choice to embrace a deep level of care for our body and to heed the messages from our body, which include illness and disease, is inspiring.

226. When I read Fiona’s reflections on her relationship with the nurse and oncologists I found it deeply touching, for within it I could feel the genuine wholehearted warmth of how she felt about those who were caring for her. Getting ill certainly removes any arrogance we hold and it is a wonder to see someone choose to look on disease as an opportunity to remove an unwanted way of being from the body, this is truly what healing now means to me, making more room for us to act with love and care for ourself and others.

227. I love how you have and continue to bring another way to be to those that have surrounded you during this healing process. How touched those people have been during and following the time spent with you, what a healing you have offered to them.

228. This is an inspiration for any person diagnosed with cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Seeing the cancer and the medication as an inspiration to accept nothing less than love, is so rare but brings such purpose to the healing process. We tend to want to be healed so we can get back to normal. I love that you have said “No” to the old way of life that created the tumours.

     1. Yes, I am amazed how the author manages this level of care and love in the face of all these difficulties.

229. Such a beautiful sharing Fiona. The simplicity of your loving honesty is a joy to feel. Thank you.

230. What a truly inspiring story of appreciation for the support you have received from the Medical profession, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Your willingness to be responsible to connect, care and nurture yourself, by accepting the great gift that your body is giving you to truly heal, is beautiful. It is no wonder that the other women who are there for similar reasons as yourself Fiona are inspired by your shining living example of acceptance, joy and love.

     1. I completely agree Deidre. I love the way Fiona works with the staff and medications that are supporting her. I love that there is no “fight” to get through this, just a simple, dedicated commitment to dealing with all that there is to deal with in a self loving way. Beautiful and inspiring.

231. A beautiful and touching sharing of the ‘Power of Loving Self’ completely, in every moment. Divinity in Expression.

232. Beautiful Fiona, I love how you have connected to really looking after and cherishing yourself during this time, and that it was to truly connect with yourself and not just to try to get rid of the cancer. This is such a different approach from anyone I have ever spoken to about any kind of illness and very inspirational to feel that I can also start to truly look after myself now and not just when I am sick.

233. This is a deeply touching account of how we can choose love in the face of great adversity, and make it into a blessing. There is also great depth in what I felt has been shared about simplicity. We are going back to love, and we have the choice to accelerate it or delay it. In choosing simplicity, we deepen our connection and choose love. Is there that much more to it?

     1. Well said Simon. It is a deeply touching account and a much needed experience to be shared because it is rare that you hear an experience with cancer being spoken about in this way.

     2. Well said Simon. Thank you Fiona for an article that presents “For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.” I feel this is a learning that can be applied to all parts of life.

     3. Wonderful expressed Simon. Simplicity is so important, it makes life so much more joyful. In the past I was so caught up in doing, and my life was very complex. I’m very grateful, that I have started to make choices to simplify my life.

234. Thank you Fiona for this amazing blog which came at exactly the right time to me.
     “The truth is always simple” – how much power, wisdom and truth shine from these few words. They show the incredible depth of simplicity so obviously.

     1. I totally agree Michael – “The Truth is always simple” as Fiona says. Our world has become so So complicated and I feel we are drifting away in the wrong direction. Illness and Dis-ease in the body is showing us this as it certainly did in my own case. Nothing changed in my life until I got a tumour and then with the support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners, I addressed the possibility that the way I had been living could have created the tumour in the first place. Well 8 years later, I confirm and know that was the Truth. I was living in such a disregarding, neglectful way that I eventually got sick. Today my life is super simple because I put effort, hard work, focus and attention into making everything about Living Simple. It works.

        1. Sometimes the beauty of simplicity feels too easy, too simple. We try to make things more complicated than they are. Lovely to see you taking responsibility for your choices and then making different choices. Beautiful and inspiring.

235. Thank you Fiona. You have inspired me to express more of who I am, to self-care, self-love and be committed to life. What you have shared is very inspiring.

236. I love reading your blogs Fiona. How you have chosen to be you during your illness and treatment and not become identified by the disease is so very inspiring. Thank you dearly for taking the time to express from your livingness.

237. What Fiona has shared is life changing in the way illness and disease is approached. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, we can embrace what treatment is needed and just make each day about being ourselves instead of waiting until we are cured to get back to life. Love it!

     1. That reveals the great illusion Sharon, that to be in life, we must live in disconnection and to live in connection is only afforded at particular times, such as when we are unwell. To have the strength and courage to do as you say, ‘make each day about being ourselves instead of waiting until we are cured to get back to life.’

        How much we miss out on when this isn’t our daily experience!

        1. Yes, Shannon, how much do we miss out on when we are disconnected from ourselves and the world around us? How many of us have lived big chunks of our lives locked our minds rather than feeling and experiencing the full potential of each day? The blessing of Fiona’s illness was to re-awaken her to the magic of God in life, and that is priceless.

238. Fiona that was amazing to read. If everyone had this outlook on cancer and chemotherapy it would be a better world. Your blog shows what great healing is on offer in these situations. I could feel the deep love you have reclaimed for yourself and what care and joy you now have for life. Inspiring to read.

239. Dear Fiona, your account of your chemotherapy treatment and how you deal with it is so inspiring and will support many others for a long time to come on how to make this difficult path a growing and loving path. Thank you so much for writing this blog.

240. Fiona is showing us all the true blessings that a disease process can bring – not just to her but to all those around her. There is often a “failure” feeling around having cancer – I haven’t been looking after myself, this is the end etc. Fiona has turned these beliefs into blessings and made them about love, connection and healing in her body and this has been felt by all those around her. Inspirational!

241. To feel like cancer has been a support for you to clear your body and what has been is quite a different take on illness and disease and one I am inspired by. It makes sense that it is more than just genetics or bad luck, that the way that we live has a part to play in what our bodies end up removing.

     1. Yes Kate, it is a blessing when we can see through an illness, disease or accident as being the consequence of ‘the way that we live’. As all is energy and all is because of energy, true healing can only take place when the energy is nominated and the ill patterns are not repeated.

242. “Having the tumour has slowed me down, made me say no to others and yes to me” is the blessing that such an illness can present in and amongst everything else. It offers great counsel to us all with or without illness/disease.

243. It is with the greatest simplicity, grace and surrender that Fiona was able to see her cancer as “divinity at work”. This is an extremely inspiring blog, that needs to be shared far and wide.

244. There is so much Gold in this blog. I can feel how it has invited me to stop and deeply appreciate the rich learning and endless opportunities we have to return to who we are – to commit to everything that is before us and to accept nothing less than true love.

245. “I have now learnt how essential it is if used alongside the esoteric, not as a way to numb out or not take responsibility for the choices I made, but as a true support for me to truly heal.”
     This is my experience as well.Before I came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I always first went to all kinds of alternative forms of medicine, I mistrusted Western Medicine and could not see how this is also needed. Esoteric and Western Medicine go hand in hand when we take the responsibility for our body and its healing.

246. Great blog Fiona – inspirational all through. The thought I have is: Think twice about things — feel into life, understand it from the way it is. How much am I living?
     It is like a Dear Diary, bringing an awareness to when we write, question or / and feel into things. What is going on past that ill-ness, hurt or story – WHAT’S THE TRUTH!
     When You Live from there your life changes instantly. My life changed instantly after meeting Serge Benhayon. I finally had purpose to my choices.

247. I am inspired by the depth of your words ‘Discovering the beauty of me and not trying to fix anything’. So beautiful Fiona

     1. Yes, me too Karen. Letting go of my reactions to the world in order to feel the loveliness inside me and the deep sensitivity I have, takes me out of the drive and expectations to be something I am not or to make situations different from how I think they should be. There is so much grace in Fiona’s words.

248. This account of working with medicine, understanding that the treatment and the disease are the divine at work, is revolutionary. We are taught to see disease as something that happens to us, that we are passive recipients of the condition and its treatment.
     The fear, anger, resentment and often blame that arise in people suffering an illness places incredible pressure on the already strained medical staff, and our own bodies, equally.
     Fiona’s choices not only blessed her body, they blessed every medical and hospital administrative staff member who had contact with her. Divinity in every way.

     1. Thank you Fiona and Rachel, could it be that you are both expressing the human condition, ‘anything less than divinity’? Or should I say ‘before Universal Medicine’ as presented by Serge Benhayon, society accepted what was happening as a natural or normal part of life, a healing process, genetic, ‘we are passive recipients’, ‘I caught it, it was only an accident’, ‘it was bad luck’, and the bone cruncher of them all, ‘I was a good person, why me?’ As Fiona and Rachel, so clearly portray, there are a lot of emotional issues along with ideals and beliefs about true health and healing.
        So, then in reflection of what is so called ‘normal’, could it be possible that humanity can at last put all its eggs in one basket and take full responsibility for all their woes? With responsibility, is it possible to live in a way that we know that everything we do has an effect on us, as well as all those people with whom we come in contact? If this is in any way true, we would feel the outrageous effects that the food we eat and the emotional playground of our mind, has on our body? Drugs, alcohol and pornography are extreme examples, which the majority indulge in with the common attitude of ‘a little bit won’t hurt me’. I did not think my emotional thoughts and outplays had any effect on me being nervous or anxious. Now I am aware that these are continuing patterns are not loving to our body.
        Let’s face it, before Serge we all knew and felt to the bone when something was not right for our body. I am being frank here as responsibility has a wake up call message that comes with an ouch!

249. As I was appreciating the lovely feel of your writing, I came to the sentence “For these 18 weeks I have sat in a day ward full of other women receiving their treatment.” I realized not only has your understanding and approach to life been a blessing to you, but this has also blessed many many women that shared the space with you during this anxious and sensitive time in their life.

250. I love how you express that having the tumour is ‘divinity at work’. I still get caught up in feeling sorry for people when they get sick and have to remind myself that it is a way for the body to clear excesses, so is actually a blessing. Your expression takes it one step further for me and helps me connect to the true healing behind illness and disease. Thank you.

251. Your story certainly puts things in perspective – there is Divinity in every moment, every interaction and every thing. Time to let it in.

252. Thank you Fiona, you have showed us all the true healing power we bring to medicine when we are letting it all in, claiming and deeply honouring ourselves in the first place and making the commitment to build and deepen the relationship with ourselves.

253. This is a deeply moving and inspiring article and also very powerful. Fiona, I feel your immense inner strength and light in “For me, life will not return to how it was”, “I have chosen another way to be, a natural way, a deeply nurturing and self-honouring way”. I also love your painting. Thank you so much for writing this Fiona.

254. I found this blog incredibly powerful to read. The strength of commitment you hold for yourself is not only palpable, it jumps right off the page and ignites something within me. Thank you.

     1. Yes, I agree… The words: “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love” touched me deeply, and I am reminded that we all have this choice in every moment of every day… to not accept anything less than true love.

255. As I read the beginning:”… 18 weeks…weekly chemotherapy …. four hours travelling, part by boat and part by car, and so it all takes a full day…” I thought whoah! this itself is quite an undertaking without an illness.
     I loved reading the lightness, the acceptance, the appreciation and the commitment in how you approached your life and your illness. Like a breath of fresh air – and very inspiring.

256. Thank you Fiona for a beautiful blog. Deeply felt by me, as I realised as I read it that I have had fear of cancer. Your blog supported me to feel that there is nothing to be afraid of. The fact that you have understood and accepted that it is a healing for your body and have therefore not identified with it is awesome. I love what you have written here – “So I am me when I wait to see the oncologist and when the nurse administers the medication, and as I am me, I feel the presence of love between myself and the oncologist, the nurse, the receptionist and the other patients.” This is just so healing for everyone you come in contact with.

257. Wow!- how inspiring your story is- totally surrendering your body to divinity, during your chemotherapy treatments. You are a living miracle of what can happen when you truly honour the body and embrace conventional medicine with esoteric healing.

258. What a beautiful blog Fiona, the way you have held yourself throughout your treatment feels so important to not only your own healing but to those around you. No wonder you doctor was so amazed, you are indeed treating your body and way of living as your medicine.

259. Thanks Fiona – it was great to read your blog. I found it really interesting to read about the doctors comment to your last treatment- you must definitely be doing something right !

260. Oh Fiona, imagine the healing that could potentially take place if, amongst the magazines in hospital waiting rooms, your article was also placed. You know I actually think that you should print it out, laminate it and send it to every hospital in the UK. Imagine the how many women and their families you could affect. You have the potential to create real change in the world. Go for it.

261. Seeing each treatment as a date with divinity feels awesome. A very supportive and loving dialogue to have.

262. What a delightful article bringing simplicity, appreciation and honouring to an area that is often devoid of any of these qualities. I feel enriched by reading it.

263. Thank you Fiona for sharing so beautifully how you have returned to a loving simple way of being.

264. Fiona, you are an inspiration for anyone with a diagnosis of cancer and/or going through chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a trying time (I’ve been through it myself), so to be able to offer the reflection of love to all that you came into contact with is a blessing for all. I remember when I went through chemotherapy, if there was one person shining in the ward when chemo was being administered, how this would have a knock on effect for the nurses, doctors and other patients. I love this line “I see each treatment as a date with divinity’ – wow now that’s something.

265. One can feel the absoluteness of your blog Fiona. It’s a wonderful and inspiring sharing. Thank you.

266. I love how much you have been able to explain with such clarity and such grace your whole experience of chemotherapy. No doubt I’ll be back to read this blog in the future

267. This a truly inspiring story Fiona, and one I feel so many people with cancer would appreciate. It also shows the deep benefit that true nurture and self care can bring to us all if we so choose this way of living each day.

268. Hello Fiona, this is a map for healing for anyone going through treatments like you have had. To no longer see chemotherapy in this way is a blessing for everyone in itself. I love what you have given us in the way you have gone about treating yourself and the huge message that’s there. From what you say you have not only turned your health around but also the perception of many things. Thank you.

269. Fiona, you have an amazingly positive attitude with all that is going on for you.
     Making the most of Western Medicine with doctors and hospitals
     Esoteric Medicine with Universal Medicine
     Self-Medicine with how you live.
     No wonder you are responding well to the treatment.
     And with grace and a smile to all the people involved along the way, how lovely it must be for them.

270. This is a blog is priceless as it offers so much for people who are going through chemotherapy. To embrace acceptance of a medical diagnosis without attachment to an outcome of cure is much an inspiration for us all.

271. Thank you Fiona for sharing your beautiful and loving story of embracing the illness you have and dealing with all aspects of it. Particularly with cancer, but also other diseases, I too often see so much anger with people going to beat or fight the disease. The anger that comes with this feels terrible – I understand why people take this approach but it does not feel helpful to me. Accepting an illness or disease and working on it from all angles, without the anger, feels like a beautiful and loving approach to healing.

272. “It has cleared the arrogance of beliefs and ideals I held about health and healing and allowed me to find my own natural rhythm through life.” This is a poignant reminder that the body in illness and disease is supporting us to discard that which is not truly us. Amazing to feel such reverence to the grace that we all are from.

     1. Fiona’s story is inspirational Lee, and your comment ‘that the body in illness and disease is supporting us’ reminds me how amazing and precious my body is

273. What a beautiful and inspiring story. Thank you Fiona for sharing how deeply connecting to yourself, and choosing Western Medicine and the Esoteric working alongside together, brought you to an understanding of yourself and the cancer in your body. It is not to be lightly taken that a woman under enormous physical strain can be so clear and love-filled while undergoing treatment.

     1. The choosing of Western medicine and the Esoteric and working together was a powerful combination, with no resistance to either nor thinking any one was more or better than the other. The description of simply being you in the waiting room was very inspiring and I could feel what a bright shining point of light you were in that room. The medical system does seem over-run but by bringing all of you and by connecting to the nurses, reception and doctors, it felt you broke through all of that.

274. What you have learnt through your journey with cancer and what you share in your blog is such simplicity, depth and joy is inspirational and healing for all who read it.

275. Keep it simple, that is what I have taken from this blog today, it’s inspiring how you have learnt to nurture yourself and your body allowing true healing to take place.

276. What an inspirational blog Fiona! It seems to me that so many people will benefit from reading your story and the turnaround from fear to love and the learning that your experience has brought you.

277. The simplicity and the joy in this story of how Fiona dealt with her cancer is as profound as it was when I first read it, a true inspiration for all.

     1. I agree Gabriele. When I met her there was such joy in her step and way of being, she was truly inspirational.

278. Thank you Fiona for sharing your amazing healing journey. Your words ” I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work” so inspiring and I feel that many would benefit who are waiting for their chemotherapy to read this too.

279. Fiona what a marvellous outcome for you to make true choices and connect with the beaty-full you.

280. Fiona, I really admire what you have done here.

281. It is beautiful to hear of this account and the fact that it is possible to feel deeply supported through chemo.

282. “but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything ” Reading this blog made me stop and sit quietly with myself, feeling humble. This sentence and what you share is nothing less than a healing.

     1. Super sweet one liner isn’t it Mariette… I feel through studying the esoteric way of the Livingness there comes a time where life tends to become simple once again like it was when we were children, able to play and feel the beauty of it all.

283. I have searched out this blog again to share with a friend who is struggling with having been recently diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Yet again, I am quite literally blown away by the simplicity, true joy and love expressed in this writing, presenting another way for us all to be fully present with ourselves and deal with whatever has to be dealt with in such a different way than we think it has to be. Such a blessing.

284. Lovely blog Fiona. I am struck especially by your words that ‘From feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work.’. Your words have given me much to ponder on personally when I consider my own health and the intermix of conventional and esoteric medicine. I realise that while I agree with what you are saying, I can still feel a resistance within myself to let go of self judgement and feelings of failure etc that I am harbouring within myself regarding my own state of health. Thank you for helping to bring this to my attention.

     1. Yes Helen, until we can see all illness, disease and accidents as an opportunity for true healing, it is too easy to go into ‘self judgment and feelings of failure’, when in fact it is ‘divinity at work’

     2. I love what you have shared Helen. I am in good health but when something isn’t quite perfect, I do see myself as a failure. What Fiona shares about feeling a failure has exposed for me the beliefs I have on having perfect health. Not much acceptance in there and I definitely do not see illness, disease and accidents as Anne shares as an opportunity for healing. In words I know that, but I haven’t yet embraced that.

285. Such an inspirational blog Fiona. The way you chose to be throughout this illness, your steadfastness to the love that you are is simply beautiful.

286. Fiona, I keep having dates with your blog – each time I feel the preciousness of what you have offered here, a simplicity and wisdom that is deep and yet feels so accessible. To know that it’s possible that no matter how hard it may seem and that in the face of living with a terminal illness it’s possible to live life fully and with absolute care and love is a treasure, one you’ve shown us all. Words can’t do this justice but I feel blessed to read this and have known you even briefly. This is the way we can all live.

287. Absolutely so inspiring to read how in truth how illness and disease can be such a healing.. “Having the tumour has slowed me down, made me say no to others and yes to me, made my relationships more fun, given me time to explore sides of my expression I had never made time for.”

288. Simply stunning Fiona. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. Your acceptance and attitude towards your illness is sublime. I love how, even after 6 years, you are still smiling with having the chemotherapy. Truly inspiring.

289. The smorgasbord of response and reaction to serious illness in a hospital waiting room – it’s as though all our potential response choices, those we could have made, some perhaps we did make, are played out in front of us through other people’s behaviours in that snapshot of time. Your choice to make it a date with divinity is a truly inspiring and salutary read.

290. Re-reading the blog today gave me such a sense of presence in every day of your life as you commit to all that you are in any given moment. Truly lovely to feel.

291. It is gorgeous to read your experience with out what we can normally expect to read in relation to someone going through chemotherapy. Instead of the anxiety, anger, fear, denial, hoping, coping on the surface, self-pitying and identification with the illness, I am actually reading joy in your sharing. Very unusual and an experience that I hope will become others experience too.

292. Thank you Fiona for sharing how you chose to experience chemotherapy … your ‘ dates with divinity ‘ , your illness and the support given by Universal Medicine. Your blog is deeply inspiring and deeply touching.

293. Thank you Fiona for this beautiful inspirational blog. It is great that you looked at how you were living, and brought in a more loving and nurturing way of being, ‘Having the tumour has slowed me down, made me say no to others and yes to me, made my relationships more fun, given me time to explore sides of my expression I had never made time for. It has cleared the arrogance of beliefs and ideals I held about health and healing and allowed me to find my own natural rhythm through life. It has reconnected me to me as a woman and a self-nurturing way of life’.

294. These words and blogs serve as such an inspiration to all of humanity. “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body”

295. Reading this blog again this morning moved me to tears. To feel the joy, and absolute preciousness of how you lived you Fiona, and how you were with cancer, is absolutely amazing. And how you say cancer, how you learned from it, this just jumped off the page for me ‘For me it’s not about the latest cure for cancer or getting back to normal life, but about discovering the beauty of me just being, not trying to be better or fix anything.’ There is ground-breaking, what a way to live life. As I sit here, I feel how this can apply for all of us in each and every moment in life no matter what we face. If you can do this in the face of a terminal illness, I can feel and imagine applying this in other situations in my life, and how life would be; suddenly life feels less of a burden and instead I feel the possibility of meeting each and every day, each and every situation with an openness and humility to be me, and as you so gorgeously put it, ‘to accept nothing less than true love’. Thank your for deeply inspiring me all over again, I learn so much reading your glorious blogs.

     1. I agree Monica every time I read Fiona’s blogs I am deeply inspired.

296. Fiona you are an inspiration. With illness/sickness the normal way is to blame the world and get super angry because the NHS is not doing what it should or the doctor didn’t catch it soon enough. When you share how after your long trip there may only be standing room it makes me realise how all those times I would complain for having to stand in line for 5 minutes to pay for something and here you and others are standing for hours. Its very humbling – and makes me question how little I truly value life.

297. This blog is truly inspiring Fiona. I can really feel your authenticity and that you have really embraced your illness as a healing. Modern medicine could learn much from this. We spend so much effort and money and time fighting against illness and disease rather than asking the more responsible questions of could it be that how are we living that caused it in the first place? And could illness and disease be actually a way for the body to clear an excess of something we have accumulated in it ? It is no coincidence perhaps that as you describe in your blog your life has become so much deeper, richer and more joyful since you got cancer.

298. What a pleasure to read a blog by Fiona that I hadn’t read before, what an amazing women she was – her relationship to her healing and dying are beyond inspirational, they are revolutionary. I never met Fiona but felt her passing and know the world of the internet was graced by great wisdom and of course the world.

299. I love the Simplicity of your words, “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love”.

300. Inspiring blog Fiona, particularly love the sentence ‘I see each treatment as a date with divinity’ this really transforms the approach to treatment, to something beautiful and part of your journey. Feels awesome.

301. What a gift you have been Fiona in embracing cancer in this way. You really are demonstrating what it means to love oneself to the bone. I am inspired to love more.

302. Pingback: My Right Breast – Finding Me Beneath the Cancer | Women in Livingness

303. Fiona, you are an inspiration and your words are a joy to read!

304. Thanks for sharing this amazing blog – truly inspiring

305. The commitment you have made and continue to make towards Love and only Love can be strongly felt, your dedication and beauty are powerfully evident and truly inspire, thank you for sharing so deeply Fiona, you have offered much by way of reflection.

306. What you have shared here Fiona is profound and if it inspires but one person to even consider looking at their illness through your (not rosy, but deeply honest) kind of glasses, your work here is precious.

     When we are face to face with a terminal illness most of us take it as ‘a date with death’ – I know when my mum got diagnosed first with breast cancer and subsequently years later with bone cancer I felt that and I know she did too. From then on everything seemed to evolve around buying more time and ‘cheating death’. To hear (read) somebody talk about cancer and chemotherapy in a way which you did here is rare and amazing. Although my own understanding of illness and disease has changed immensely since attending Serge Benhayon’s presentation, your real life experience just re confirmed my new, or perhaps even a very old way of perceiving illness, disease and healing. There is a beautiful article and a great read on the topic by a general surgeon Eunice Minford: http://www.thesoulfuldoctor.co.uk/blog/illness-and-disease-are-healing

     I would have asked you out for a cup of tea, but I see you are otherwise engaged – dates with divinity, eh 😉
     Thank you.

307. Awesome Fiona. The love in your writing is beautiful. Thank you for expressing the divinity you have found in a situation that so many fall into being a victim of. You are both amazing and inspiring.

308. Fiona, it has been “a date with divinity” reading your piece. Thank-you deeply for your sharing. The stillness and grace with which you meet your treatment, anyone involved in it, and everything in your life is deeply inspirational: “So I am me…” in the presence of whatever it is I am to meet in life.

     I echo Shannon’s sentiments above, that the grace with which “you are you” can apply to any situation in life that challenges us to accept what we see – both without and within.

     1. A beautiful response Victoria, I really like, ‘ “So I am me…” in the presence of whatever it is I am to meet in life’. I too am learning to be me in every situation, Fiona brought such grace as she did this.

        1. Yes, agreed Lorraine. Reading this beautiful blog again today, I am yet again deeply touched.

309. Fiona, this was absolutely inspiring to read, your process is truly amazing! Like you said,” from feeling a failure for having a tumour, I now see how much I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work”. Thank you so much for sharing your love with us all.

310. Thank you Fiona, for showing that there is another way to deal with illness. For so many people, treatment is sought, to simply get themselves well enough to return to old ways of being. For others, there is complete rejection of western medicine and the opportunities it can bring to support healing. Your words are filled with grace. They come from a deep understanding that illness presents us with an opportunity to learn another way, a truer and as you so beautifully say, more natural way of being.

311. Fiona, you truly are an incredible example of Grace in the midst of living with an illness that can be so crippling to many. You’ve shown in this piece to everyone how you can use an experience like having cancer for an incredible opportunity of healing and connecting more deeply to yourself and others. It proves how we can be ourselves and be loving know matter what happens to us in our lives.

312. Fiona, thank you. Your expression and love really touched me. I can feel your love, humility and tenderness in all of it. To accept nothing less than true love, just beautiful and to let others in without talking on their stuff – you have truly inspired and humbled me.

313. Meg said it all. Thank you Fiona.

314. It is simply beauty-full, Fiona, how you express your beingness and simplicity of choices. Thank you. It’s very timely as well. With Love Elena

315. I loved your truly inspirations words Fiona. Many thanks and wows.

316. It’s a lovely image you share of you smiling your way thorugh chemotherapy and feeling the love of the medical staff supporting you there. I felt truly inspired by your words, particularly “I have also learnt to let people in without taking on board their stuff or trying to rescue them, which in itself is a miracle.”

317. Fiona, thank you so much. The way this flowed out of you is with such inspiration for not only anyone with illness or disease but what you have expressed can apply to any difficult situation we find ourselves challenged to accept.

     The most inspiring part is the way you convey your feelings with such integrity and self responsibility and with such a beauty.

318. So Beauty-Full Fiona. You write with such love and tenderness – “about discovering the beauty of me just being”. Thank you.

     1. Every time I read one of Fiona’s articles I re-discover ‘the beauty of me just being’, and for a while, there are no words to adequately say that, because it is SO beautiful. We have so much to thank Fiona for.

319. Thank you Fiona, this is beautifully inspiring to read and feel your approach to healing.

320. I am actually speechless and still crying after reading your post but it felt so important to express my appreciation for what you have written, even if it’s not in so many words. So much love – thank you for this amazing inspiration.

321. You are a treasure and an absolute inspiration Fiona McGovern!

322. Fiona

     I can feel your deep acceptance and love in what has presented for you. Everyday I work on a cancer helpline and can feel people’s total resistance to treatment and their cancer. What you have shared has deepened my own understanding that embracing every moment of treatment has the potential to allow a deeper love and healing to present. And what an amazing gift this would be for each person which you so graciously are a living as an inspiration to everyone you come into contact with.

     With deep appreciation and love

     Sharon

323. Fiona, you have so inspiringly demonstrated to us all the true marriage between Western medicine and Esoteric medicine – all from you choosing to be you! I can hardly begin to imagine the courage you have had to bring yourself through all this to the point where love and connection is the daily reality whether walking on the shore or lining up at the oncology clinic. AMAZING! I love the blue simplicity shell you have found and drawn.

324. Beautiful and healing to just read this, so many people I know do view oncology treatment as something they just have to get through until life can go back to normal . Your approach feels amazing though, and I also perceive that you are showing the others who also are having treatment there is another way…..how inspiring!

325. Thank you Fiona, Truly inspiring I have forward this email and your last one to a friend who is also going through Chemotherapy. It is beauty-full to feel your truthfulness and honesty.

326. Fiona, you really are a powerhouse of love and dedication to the truth – thank you for your inspiration and for being you.

327. Wow that was so incredible beautiful, inspiring and humbling to read Fiona – a total reflection of the amazing woman you are… thank you 🙂

328. Deeply moving – thank you for sharing.

329. An amazing Blog from a truly amazing woman… I feel inspired.. Fiona thank you for sharing

330. Thank you for sharing this Fiona. I can feel the true deep love within you, for yourself and for others. I love your comments –
     “For me, life will not return to how it was.”
     “I see each treatment as a date with divinity, where I have learnt to lovingly accept what the tumour and the medicine are doing to heal the lovelessness that was in my body. It seems to say to me “Fiona, keep going, accept nothing less than true love”.
     “I am learning and enriching my life when I embrace it as divinity at work.” .
     Your drawing inspired by the simplicity in nature is an inspiration in itself.
     with love and appreciation for ALL that you are and reflect so lovingly.

331. Thank you Fiona – both your story and you are indeed enlightening and inspiring.

332. Wow wow and one more wow, right now i have nothing more to say….
     Thank you Fiona xxxx

     1. Mariette, I love your comment. Fiona’s amazing eh!
