When I was diagnosed with cancer, I had an honest conversation with myself for the first time...ever. Because I wanted something, I decided to pray. I prayed that I would live to see beyond the end of my nose and experience joy. (Little did I realize, all I had to do is give myself permission to live and it would be instantaneously available!) At the time, I hoped I was talking to the Creator, so I asked for a vision, just to be sure.

I needed to see something that was capable of shattering the dogma that drove my life to the point of extinction. As though it happened yesterday, I remember asking to see something that would redefine the nature of my life.

Seeing the person in the tree did just that.
