I have battled cancer four times including two bouts with a rare form of brain cancer. The moment I learned that I had a brain tumor I wasn’t comfortable with who I was as a human being. I decided that the experience of battling brain cancer would help me find a path to being comfortable with myself. I had faith in that idea but I had no idea how brain cancer would provide the clarity I needed. As I wrote the stories that make up this book I began to understand that it was the experiences I had with perfect strangers that changed me. The events that took place in the extremely difficult 12 months that followed proved to be the perfect people at the perfect time over and over and the sum of all those experiences provided me with an inner peace I never knew could exist. When I finally finished active treatment and was discharged from the hospital I needed to share the experiences I had that carried me through the most difficult time of my life and changed my life at the same time. The same thing is available to all of us. All we need to do is choose to see it.
