I have had a spiritual epiphany. I have been working hard to return to my
spiritual roots. Part of what I have been asking the universe is how I am to
fund Downsy Dude Rescue Ranch. As I was meditating the answer came to me, but I
was unsure if the answer was the path I should take as it involves some work
with breast cancer victims and I was not sure if I should linger there.
Those of you close to me know that I have won a 3 year battle with breast
cancer and have had a pretty nasty case of PTSD due to the experience. As a
mental health practitioner, I had lots of tools in my arsenal but was still
overwhelmed with fear. I went looking for help and could not find it. In the
end, I created my own program, which I am being lead to share with others. I was
resistant to think that the answer to funding the Downsy Dude Rescue Ranch was
somehow attached to breast cancer. I wanted nothing to do with it and have
worked hard at distancing myself from it, and focusing on wellness.
On a whim one day recently I called into a radio talk show on Hay House
radio. There was a man by the name of Kyle Gray who is well known as "the angel
whisperer". Not even knowing if I really believed in angels, for some reason I
decided to call and ask him how I was to fund my project. He blew me away by not
only telling me that the arch angle Ariel is with me, but
describing the courage I had to use to get through the past 3
years. Next he had a vision that described the key elements of my PTSD program
and told me that this was going to be key to funding Downsy Dude Rescue
Ranch.
I had not shared with him what the rescue project was about nor, the PTSD
program I have been putting together. After I hung up, I googled the
arch angel Ariel. I was shocked to learn that she is considered the guardian of
the animals and nature. Within few days, I was offered a chance to use my PTSD
program with a prominent medical practitioner in my area. I did not solicit this
invite and it took me by complete surprise.
When I first got cancer, and over the 3 years of beating it back, I have
continually ask the universe "why is this happening to me?" It seemed so wrong.
I know in my heart I am a good person and I felt very picked on and devastated
by the whole situation. Could it be that it's purpose has now been revealed to
me?
I would love to hear your thoughts about this if you are willing. I also need
help naming thePTSD program. I welcome feedback and suggestions. Breast cancer and animal rescue.....does this add up?

Stage 1 Breast Cancer
Stage one breast cancer, no big deal right? Caught early, chances of survival are very good. What they don't tell you is the years that follow are going to be very challenging, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am three years out from my original diagnosis of Invasive Lobular carcinoma.
There are several types of breast cancer, this is one of them. What began with a one centimeter lump on my right breast, turned into a 3 year nightmare that almost went unchecked (and would have if I had listen to the first doctor I saw about it.)
I have a story to tell about my experiences and what I have learned. My hope is that I can help others who are faced with this avoid the mistakes that I made through ignorance, misguided advise from professionals and allowing my own fear to run my thoughts.
