A couple of months ago, I received a book called Surviving Chaos: Healing with Divine Love—A Spiritual Energy Healing Process. This book, written by engineer and scientist Robert G. Fritchie, is one of the most practical, simple, and exciting manuals for healing I’ve ever found.
Let me rant on the subject of birth intervention for a minute. One of my daughter’s friends is currently pregnant with her first baby. Her obstetrician told her that her vaginal tissue is too fragile to withstand a vaginal birth. She is only 30 weeks pregnant and already has a C-section scheduled.
I recently signed up for Netflix, which has given me a chance to watch a lot of movies from my past that I really liked! One of these was Shirley Valentine, the hilarious tale of the midlife rebirth and awakening of Shirley Valentine (Pauline Collins), a bored and unfulfilled wife whose husband has lost all sense of fun and pleasure, focusing instead on routine and work.

Imagine this. You go in for a mammography, and the technician finds a mass that looks suspicious. The mass is biopsied, and it’s cancer.
