Spiritual Awakening: Making Lemonade Out Of Lemons
We have all heard the saying making lemonade out of lemons. This practice takes a great deal of shifting our thoughts and action steps to find the positive in all situations. I remember receiving the phone call of Friday April 3, 2009 where my mom informed me of her diagnosis with non-operable metastatic lung cancer. I am very fortunate to have been a volunteer with The American Cancer Society and knew that her journey through this would be tough, however there were many programs available to help her. The first thing I did was give her this number 1-800-acs-2345 as this is a manned 24 hour a day 7 day a week hotline manned by The American Cancer Society. The East Boca Raton Relay was coming up and I know knew what I was going to speak about during luminaria, I would tell the story of how my mom was making lemonade out of a lemon known as cancer. My mom underwent many treatments at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. When she returned to Florida she had lost her hair and released alot of weight. It was difficult to see her like this, however as the weeks went by she got stronger and our bond strengthened. She was cancer free for 2 1/2 years and then the cancer returned. She would travel to MD Anderson again and this lemon known as cancer would be squeezed and she is now doing better. She has her good days and some challenging days. My mom continues to take this lemon and make lemonade as she inspires me and others. I am honoring my mom by participating in The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of West Boca Raton on April 27-28. If you would like to help honor my mom and others touched by cancer please visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg8265 or click on the support the mission tab on this blog.
