Breast cancer poetry

When it comes to writing a book, I want to make that book meaningful. I want to make that book a force to contend with, something that will inspire people and make them smile or think about things.

I want the book to have VALUE.

And while I love poetry and want to encourage people to read more poetry, I understand that this is not something I can push in a book that, well, isn't "about" reading poetry. The particular book in question -- the ebook, I should say -- is my newest book, On the Wings of Pink Angels: Triumph, Struggle and Courage Against Breast Cancer. And while there is "breast cancer poetry" out there, I felt that what I included about it in my blog series from 2009 just wasn't enough to highlight breast cancer poetry. 

For this reason, I decided not to include that particular post in the ebook. However, that post will stay on my Palms to Pines blog, but because "it got cut" from my manuscript, I will include it here:


Breast cancer survivor poetry

The act of writing poetry can have an enormously profound sense of healing and empowerment. For some, it is the best way, maybe even the only way, for them to cope with the struggles they face in life.
For a breast cancer fighter and/or survivor, writing poetry can have an extra special bonus. Not only is the writing of poetry itself good for their spirit, but it is also an inspiration for others who read their words.
Here are some links to where you can find poems written by breast cancer survivors:

Sleep remedies for children

"Caffeine does stay in your bloodstream for several hours."

"Try the above tips for a few days to see if they help your child fall into a sleep routine. Give things a few days to work before turning to outside sources of help in assisting your child’s sleep problems."

Home remedies for Candida

As a part of your regular diet, yogurt can help prevent the growth and spread of yeasts that would lead to an infection.

Another suggestion has been to soak a tampon in curds and insert it into the area twice a day.

(Cut from the paragraph discussing an alternative to eating yogurt) These (acidophilus) pills are available from your local health food store and they act as a stronger force compared to yogurt in going straight to the infected area to do what it does best.

(Cut from the paragraph on buttermilk): Not only is it good for you but it has been reported to prevent the onset of a yeast infection.
