In India there is a saying that fire reduces coal to ash and makes gold priceless. I am blessed with friends who have been through worst and made it their power. I have already told you about Carolyn (abcofspiritalk.net), how she turned her darkest nightmare into a phase of enlightenment. Which she has shared in her first book, and two more are to come.
Freya Pickard of purehaiku.wordpress.com is next example of that power, the gold within mortal frame, Freya is a cancer survivor currently awaiting the final all clear. She wrote Insides as a kind of therapy to help her embrace the terrible things she endured; cancer, surgery and chemotherapy. She wanted to bring comfort to other cancer sufferers as well as enabling people with no experience of cancer at all, to understand a little of what it means to go through such an ordeal.
She launched her new book “Insides” on 17th October:
