Golf legend Arnold Palmer survived his own bout with prostate cancer and has seen both his wife and daughter fight their own battles with cancer. He is now dedicated to helping others with the disease to get the support and care they need. This video is great — full of sound advice and a winning spirit.
When we’re going through a physical health challenge like cancer, eczema, or diabetes, it can be easy to forget that everything changes….everything has its season. We may be tired some times and strong others. We may feel hopeful and positive and soon after get discouraged. Our determination may sometimes waver. But there is a beauty in this…in all these cycles.
Sand artist, Peter Donnelly, celebrates the transience in life by creating glorious sand paintings as an offering to the sea, which comes in at high tide and washes over all his hard work. There is a peace in this….accepting the changes that time brings.
We all have gifts and many times, these gifts become even more profound when we go through life challenges. Some of us may even need a little help to let them shine. Here is a wonderfully inspiring story about a brilliant pianist and what it took to bring him to the USA and enable him to play the instrument he loves (he’s blind and mostly deaf).
This video is a must-see. Whether you’re on a healing journey or not, give yourself the gift of watching this 20 minute video. It’s wonderfully entertaining and could change your life.
Kimberly Fowler has forged her own path, completely recovering from severe accidents and beating inoperable brain cancer at age 24. She believes in herself and in her own power to a degree that is astounding. When she was diagnosed with cancer, she had few treatment options. While in the hospital, she got really clear on what was the right way for her to proceed and it led to a major life transition and many years of helping others. She continues to inspire so many.
Every once in a while we meet someone who has been through extreme challenges in their lives, yet they seem to be affected in a positive way that helps them enjoy life more and bring so much light to others. Alice Herz-Sommer, a concert pianist and holocaust survivor, is one of those people.
At 106 years old, perhaps it is her passion for music that keeps her going and allows everything else it’s proper perspective. May we all be so blessed to discover what we love, and to use it as a resource for comfort, inspiration and courage.

Warning: you may need a box of tissues on hand as you watch this. No sad endings here. Just a glimpse into the very touching, very real process many children go through even after they’ve survived cancer and its treatment. The social aspects of their lives totally change and it can be extremely tough. This young boy, Myles, reminds us how much everyone really needs to be loved and accepted – especially when their life path involves a difficulty like cancer.
Creativity can have a healing power for us as individuals, but also for communities. In Oakland, California, young people are beginning to use their creativity to keep them aligned with their goals and to express their desire for a better world.
There are less than 2900 breeding pairs of the threatened Cape Vulture still alive today. Two paragliders in South Africa decided to fly with them, and the beauty of the world from their view is absolutely breathtaking. We hope you find this video as magnificent as we did, and perhaps it’s a good reminder for all of us to go outside—as often as we can—and rest ourselves in the healing power and tranquility of Mother Nature.
