not a book about illness, but about great love, gratitude, and miracles. It is about saying yes and not no, light and not darkness, and great opportunities and not great insults. It is a journey of the heart and not of the body.  It is one of learning and growing, not resisting and resenting. It is my journey, and it is the journey of Team Suzette.In the wink of an eye our diagnosis can detour our once seeming predictable and planned footsteps in the direction of unforeseen vistas and treacherous paths. With a magician's sleight of hand the cards of our life are now shuffled differently and we ask in surprise and shock ..."What happened?" We enter diagnosis, staging and then treatment, or any challenging life circumstance, and tend to put our sights on the future. Our life will begin again once chemotherapy ends, we feel better and are back to work.  If we are looking at some optical illusion of a needed end, we don't feel and experience the blessings and lessons that are right before us..  If we can accept what falls in our path and bow to it as our teacher, we are graced to find the pearls within the seeming hardened shells of all challenges.This is not a "how to" book.  It is instead a compass pointed in the direction of all things healing. Reflections, inspirations and lessons to guide anyone in any circumstance down a path of healing, resiliency, light, and gratitude.
