I’ve come to believe that the moment you decide a journey is a journey, it is a journey. And you travel it by any means that draw you. So I say to you all reading this that as soon as you picked up this book, you became a journeyer, a traveler, an adventurer, and yes, a pilgrim. I believe you’ve picked up this book because you are meant to be here with me, to take a journey of the soul. There’s wisdom that draws you along.
Even being a lifelong seasoned traveler did not prepare me for the unexpected journey I took in 2020, one I had never planned for or imagined. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. My journeys went from outward to inward as I navigated my diagnosis and treatment. All that I had learned from where I’d traveled before became part of what I know and who I am and how I survived and thrived during those difficult months.
Over my years of traveling, without really noticing it, I honed a set of “travel rules” that helped me along the way. And once I was diagnosed, I incorporated these travel rules into my cancer journey. I’ve learned that a journey can take many shapes and forms, and it is my hope that sharing my experiences with you will help you find your own way. So, fellow travelers and pilgrims, no matter what journey you are on, may these rules offer you reassurance and guidance.
