Description:
Diagnosed with breast cancer at age 32, Crawley is a cancer survivor who insightfully and effectively eases a woman's fear by helping her honor the divine spirit within. Highly recommended by Jack Canfield, editor of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, women who fear, have, or know someone with breast cancer will experience this book as if having a heart-to-heart with a best friend. Crawley leads with "101 Ways to Honor Yourself as a Woman," reminding women to do self-indulgent activities such as receiving a professional massage or treating themselves to a pedicure. She offers inspiring suggestions to discover one's mind, body, and soul: "Ask people who know you to share with you what they feel is special and beautiful about you. (Children are great for this one!)" She insists on the necessity of living life as a "receiver" and not just a "giver," establishing a new women's movement called the "Honor Movement." Crawley introduces her revolutionary theory about women who "do it all" without the balance of the divine feminine spirit: "I believe that breast cancer is merely a symptom of what is occurring for women, and all humankind. In my opinion, breast cancer is just a name given to the enormous disease that women at large are experiencing." Readers will also find detailed suggestions on creating a 10-step healing plan, ways to support someone recovering from breast cancer, and clearly illustrated positions for giving themselves a visual breast inspection. This take-charge book offers new perspectives into illness and disease prevention, but is cozy enough to join you and a cup of your favorite herbal tea. --Cate Bick
