Dear Karen -
Yes I am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in late 2008. Cancer has touched my family way too many times. My father is also a thyroid cancer survivor and my 76 year old mother just successfully completed chemo/radiation for breast cancer. Unfortunately we are not all survivors as I did lose my brother at the age of 21 to Hodgkins. That is why my yoga practice is a celebration of my life and of my spirit. What inspires me to practice now is my increasing awareness of the fragility and shortness of life itself. I now take the preciousness of every moment to a new level.

Greetings Jean and thank you! I did complete the application for the Joyful Yoga Studio in Chandler, Arizona. I have a very good reputation as a motivational speaker and have spoken to many groups about "surviving & faith". If I ever can be of assistance, do not heistate to contact me. You would not be disappointed! thanks again
