A Surprising Liver Cancer Diagnosis: Kelly’s Story

NewKelly was visiting her son in Florida, across the country from her California home, when she experienced some initial abdominal pain. She excused herself from the restaurant they were dining in, but back at the hotel, the pain became debilitating. She then began to feel lightheaded – so much so that she didn’t think she’d [...]

Free Day for Cancer Patients, Survivors, and Caregivers

My wife is a cancer survivor. As her husband and caregiver, I saw how much cancer can take over everyday life. Appointments, treatments, worrying about what comes next. Sometimes you just want a chance to feel like yourself.

That’s why we created Still Me: Cancer Wellness — A Survivor and Caregiver Celebration.

The idea is simple: You are more than your diagnosis. You’re still you.

On Saturday, November 7, we’re welcoming cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers to Pine Brook Manor in Sparrow Bush, NY, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission, food, wellness activities, and raffle entries are FREE, thanks to businesses donating their time and services.

There’ll be facials, Reiki, sound healing, somatic breathwork, and Falun Dafa. Jazzy’s Kitchen is providing meals for up to 100 guests.

Raffle prizes include cleaning services from Dee’s Classic Cleaning, laundry services from Royal Palm Laundry, and a weekend retreat at Pine Brook Manor sponsored by HV Business Link.

We’re putting this together alongside Kristi from the American Cancer Society, and we’d love to have you join us. Some wellness sessions have limited availability, with signups at the door.

If you know someone nearby who could use an afternoon like this, please pass it along.

A cancer survivor and caregiver celebration.

Conquer Your Mind 8h

When you’re struggling with depression, it can feel like every quiet moment has to be filled with worry, productivity, or pressure to figure your whole life out. But healing is not always about pushing harder or getting somewhere faster. Sometimes it is about learning how to come back to the present in small, gentle ways. A warm drink. A slower breath. A few seconds of stillness. A reminder that this moment does not have to be improved before you are allowed to be in it. You do not have to solve everything today. Sometimes peace begins when you stop rushing past the life that is already here.

What is one small thing that helps you come back to the present when your mind is racing?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:
