It certainly was difficult leaving behind the gentle waves, the beautiful scenery, and the swaying palm trees of Kaua'i. Our trip was filled with wonderful memories and plenty of relaxation....what I called my "healing retreat".
I managed to read 3.5 books (I highly recommend reading "The Help" before watching the newly released movie...so good), spent lots of time in the sunshine, enjoyed hearing the belly laughs of my boys, and simply enjoyed being surrounded by my family in such a breathtaking scenery.
Some of the things that made me smile along our Hawaiian vacation:
- on top of Waimea Canyon and overhearing Zevy ask his younger brother "isn't this beautiful, Cohen?"
- having my parents be a part of this beautiful trip
- the peaceful surroundings and gentle Hawaiian music
- seeing our first HUGE sea turtle in the waves
- receiving a "Live Strong" bracelet from a complete stranger who wished me well in my journey with cancer
- being with my family for ten glorious days
We returned early Tuesday morning and I immediately went in for my 6th round of chemo. I spent the weekend recovering and am happy to say I am finally starting to feel like myself again.
Peace, Love & Miracles

ReplyDeleteMy wife has a similar neuroendocrine tumor of unknown origin, diagnised in April. Like you, she is being treated with chemotherapy. She is now on her second line, as the first line of treatments did not give a lasting response. I think I will suggest a trip to Hawaii! Glad you and your family had a nice time. Onward.
A Sedona Healing retreat has benefits that are a dream to anyone that has used this method successfully. Even if you have not used this method, these are great places to go to become familiar with the Sedona Method and to learn the proper way to use the method so that you are more effective with it.
