MAKING CANCER PAY BACK
61CANCER REVELATION
Yesterday, something came over me. I was sitting quietly and listening to some Jazz and I was pondering over my life and where it was going. Then all of a sudden I had a revelation. I thought about the "cancer thing" I have been going through for years and what all it has taken from me. I started to feel just a little pissed off (which is good cause then I get busy). I thought about all the things cancer has taken from me and my family. Cancer is so evil it will take lives away. If any thing else in this world kills someone we go after it right away with a vengence. As for cancer, we let it take and never make it pay back to those it stole from. Well, I decided THE BUCK STOPS HERE. When I first started working online, and trying to do business, I didn't want to talk about the cancer, only the business. Then I had quite a few people tell me "you need to tell your story". I felt so guilty talking about cancer to people I was trying to get in my business. I didn't want them to think that I wanted them to feel sorry for me and they would sign up. I wanted them to do business because they seen the opportunity.
So this is where the revelation comes in to play. Thinking of how much cancer has taken, and has never given me anything. Not only did it take from me but my family and friends. Now it is time for cancer to give back, and thats exactly what it is doing. My story has inspired others in a similar situation to make the cancer give back. Now my whole idea of marketing online is different. No more guilt. This is real and it is true. Cancer is a worldwide business. Trillions of dollars are made each year off of people like me but I never see dime of it. How is that? Somehow that didn't seem fair to me anymore, that doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, people selling bracelets, ribbons, hats, bumper stickers, books, movies, you name it the list goes on forever are making money and getting rich while I sit back and suffer for their wealth and financial freedom. Well last night that all ended for me. I started another website and decided if they can make money off cancer I can too, "BECAUSE I FREAKIN HAVE CANCER, SO NOW I'M THE CANCER SALESMAN" or slaes person. Does that sound sick? Of course not, who better to prosper off this industry than the very people that keep it up and running. Believe me I have gone so far as to consider selling caskets on my web page. They make the last dime off of all of us.
My point in all of this is, that when life handed me lemons I decided to make PINK LEMONADE. That is a book I am in the process of writing. Everything breast cancer took I am going to make it give back. I can never get my boob back, (it was starting to droop anyway so what the heck). I can't get the two great jobs back I lost because of cancer (plus I don't want them back), but what I can do is MAKE CANCER PAY BACK. So now I am on a mission to see to it that cancer makes my life better than it was before- not worse. For those of you reading this that don't have cancer. Go out and get your share because there was a time I didn't have cancer either, I should have been raking in the dough then had I known what the future held. One other note. This doesn't just go for cancer, it goes for the other trillion dollar business in this country known as weight loss. They sell people all the crap to get them fat, then turn around and sell them all the stuff to take it off, and then the cycle starts all over again. So there is another open door to your FINANCIAL FREEDOM, start a business and sell their stuff and make money off of them.
If I sound angry I am, I feel better now that I vented. Go out and take back whatever is taking from you, just think about it, you can think of something in your life that is stealing from you. Relationships, disease, business, and then you will find your niche in this industry and you will do well becasue you are working out of passion and not guilt.

Interesting perspective, and approach. Honest, real and raw. After thirty of dealing with "metastatic cancer", I'm finally seeing that cancer has been the gift to my
conscious living, and conscious choice making. Cancer has given me present-moment awareness, no longer do I worry about my future, my past, I just am.
Cancer will provide you all that you desire, even loosing those jobs that you are happy to be rid of, could only have come about through the gift of cancer. Think about it, a boob is just a boob. We are spirit in these vessels we call a body. Sure, we have to take care of them, and make responsible decisions. Call me crazy, call me what you will, but cancer has provided me a filter that gives me great appreciation for every breath I breathe, and that can't be packaged, or maybe in can, and if so, will you be my business partner? My sister said to me,"can you imagine what your life would be like if you never had cancer" my reply was; "I'd probably be dead" ... anyway, I love your passion, your idea inspires.

Thank you for your story. Your emotions, your thoughts, ideas and expressions. Cancer has to have a gift in it, the more I've tuned into my body, mind, spirit, the greater gifts cancer have brought me. A few of them are, a great appreciation of life, greater enthusiasm to live a full day, a sense of gratitude for the days, weeks, months, I feel balanced, creative, beautiful. I feel humbled, more compassionate, empathic, softer, more peaceful, (sometimes I still get angry at my physical limitation) but mostly, I'm happy just being alive and having one more day to say I really love life.
