i was diagnosed 9 months and 1 week ago.
have you done 9 months and 1 week's worth of self beast exams?
9 months and 1 week's worth of changing your eating or buying habits?
9 months and 1 week's worth of opening your windows to let in the breeze as often as you can?
these are the changes i have made:
i always buy organic apples and spinach.
i always buy organic dairy - milk, cream, yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese.
i look at all beauty products to avoid parabens and my lotion is fragrance free.
i have an aluminum water bottle that i use all the time.
and yesterday i bought seventh generation glass cleaner and bathtub cleaner for the same price as the walgreens brand.
see? it's really not that hard.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
