Lighting a candle for Kirsten

I have the amazing opportunity, to connect and meet lots and lots of cancer warriors.  Through the lovely web-sphere, and just everyday life I am constantly forming, beautiful relationships with fellow sisters and brothers who face some of the same adversity, that I do.  Although there is a very significant bond between any cancer survivors, there is an incredibly intimate one between refractory HLers.  It just happens -- I can't explain it, but we all understand each other in a way no one else would.

One of those women, is Kirsten.  I can't even begin to tell you how this woman inspires me -- and has been such a tender, loving, form of support. But she has. Besides her amazing humor and wit, she practices meditation, mindfulness, yoga, and surrounds herself with positivity in a way that I strive to do in my everyday life.  When, I was down and out last year and this summer, Kirsten and her mother both sent incredible healing vibes and positive thoughts my way.

Now it is our turn, Kirsten has been having some difficulty with her treatment, and although none of us know exactly what is going on in Vancouver, we are all thinking of Kirsten.  Her family, has asked Kirsten's friends and family to please light a candle for her in the next few days, to give her comfort.  I hope you take the time, this week, just for a few minutes in your own house, if you have candles or when you see the sunshine or any form of light (because that is what Kirsten, truly is) to think of her, her mother Susan, and the rest of her family.

Tonight, and every night this week, we light a candle to send love and light to Kirsten in hopes that Kirsten is not in any pain, and strength for Susan, Ian, and the rest of Kirsten's family during this very difficult time.

Sending love and light,
