They say cancer changes you. It took me awhile to comprehend that… for the longest time I really felt no difference in my life. I was OK, I got sick, I got better – and it all seemed like nothing more than a bump in the road. It’s been exactly 1 year today since I completed my chemo/radiation protocol, and with that length of time behind me I can honestly say that I AM changed, and my life HAS been forever changed.
You know that I believe God’s word, which tells us that He works all things out for the good of those who love him. Throughout the storm, I held on to that promise, and now I can tell you that this horrible experience has brought blessings, blessings that have manifested themselves in a variety of ways that are affecting my health, my wealth, and my impact on the world.
Health
Interested in Paleo? I recommend this book – chock full of info & lots of recipes.
Earlier posts have chronicled my struggles with addiction to sugar and flour, and even contain resolutions to end the insanity and stop eating foods that are known to cause and feed cancer. I was a junk food junkie, I got cancer, I know that eating junk food can increase my chances of having cancer again – healthy eating is really a no brainer, right? Sadly, it’s always easier to want to do something or to say you’re going to do something than to do it, and I fell short on this promise many times after my public declaration.
I’m finally able to say that I’ve been eating a Paleo diet for over 6 months now. The changes in my life are miraculous!
- More energy
- Zero migraines (huge for me…)
- Better mental focus
- Freedom from cravings
- Sense of control over my life
- Lost 20 pounds (yay!!!!)
And of course, more important than any of the wins listed above, decreased chance of disease. This food thing has been a monkey that I’ve been trying to get off my back since I was a teenager – and I’m finally free!
Wealth
I’ve always been an advocate for medical marijuana, and as a result of this cancer have become very knowledgeable about the healing properties of CBD oil. It has the health benefits of marijuana without the high, and it’s legal in most states and helping countless people get relief from pain, disease, insomnia, and depression/anxiety. I once had a doctor advise me to use marijuana every day because, in her words, it “kills cancer”. In fact, a family friend is being treated at Moffit Cancer Center and her doctors are using CBD oil as part of her treatment plan!
My husband and I will use CBD oil every day for the rest of our lives to ward off cancer, and I have joined a direct sales company that sells CBD products. I’ve done affiliate sales in the past, never made money, and had absolutely sworn off the industry – but I felt that something was very different with this business, and I was right. This is a product that everybody needs. There’s a huge buzz about it now, as people begin to realize that CBD is not marijuana, and there’s no longer a stigma surrounding the subject. Even the federal government has seen the light, and Congress just this week passed the 2018 farm bill which recognizes that hemp and marijuana are not one in the same, and will declassify CBD from the federal controlled substance list.
This business is On Fire, and in less than 2 months I’ve had more success than I’ve had with all of the businesses I’ve been in (over a dozen… ugh!!!), combined. I’m seeing a good friend, who was in the same boat with lack of success, create solid income (and have her car payment paid by the company), and I’m right on her heels! I believe 100% that this business will produce the financial freedom that my husband and I have been seeking!
If you’d like to learn more, order CBD oil, or join my team please visit http://kjhemp.com or contact me on Facebook. I’m obligated to tell you that if you order or join my team I’ll receive compensation – but last time I checked it’s OK to earn money!
Impact on the World
I’ve tried to use my experiences with cancer to help uplift and enlighten people through this blog, and hope that in some way it’s helped you and others. Several months ago I was asked to co-chair a Cancer Support group at my church, and struggled with a fear of commitment. I’ve always asked God to use me for his purposes – so I’m ashamed to admit that it was a difficult decision for me. Through careful consideration and prayer though, I decided to accept the invitation, and have become part of a brand new support group designed to help cancer patients, survivors, and family members. It’s small right now but I trust that it will grow in time to reach a large number of hurting, confused people.
Then there’s the CBD oil, which is changing peoples’ lives in a major way! The testimonials are nothing short of incredible, and it’s heartwarming to be able to be a part of helping others find relief from problems that have completely destroyed the quality of their lives. I recently received the following text message from a neighbor who purchased oil for a friend with cancer:
“I wanted to let you know that my friend is having AMAZING results with the CBD oil. She’s had pain in her back where they removed ribs for MONTHS that it’s relieved for her. She wants to order more so I’m going to send her the link.”
Tears…. to have been a part of something so beautiful – and to anticipate many more messages just like that!
By the Way…
As you can see in the picture above, my hair has completely grown back and is now shoulder length, curlier, and thicker than ever!
Birds Eye View
Hindsight is 20/20. Do I want to sign up to have cancer again…. NOOOO! But I can tell you that His promises have been true and that good things have come to me as a direct result of this difficult time in my life. Whether you’re experiencing disease, family issues, a financial crisis, or any of the all-too-long list of painful life situations, I hope that you can always believe that you, too, can come out on the other end stronger and in some way better for the pain.
God bless
