Shine the Light by Melinda-Joy Miller SIGNED copy

SHINE the LIGHT: A Personal Journey with Cancer & the Light, is the beam of light for those seeking healing from Within and who are grasping to regain their strength physically, mentally, and emotionally. Written in an accessible style in thirteen chapters, each focusing on a specific technique to manifest wellbeing. Offers a clear explanation of each technique along with how-to steps with clear examples. The chapters are short, and they do not have to be read in order to achieve full benefit and meaning. Meaningful artwork and illustrations are a part of the text.

Aug 2017 a diagnosis of 3rd stage cervical cancer was made & gone by Thanksgiving. Shine the Light was written from a strong foundation of living a sustainable lifestyle, edible gardening, and using easy, but powerful wellness techniques. I have been studying and teaching for more than forty years. Includes personal stories of my journey in the Light, found in the natural world, from Within, in unconditional Love, and in Joy.

My hope is the comfort, strength, and healing I received during cancer treatments can help others as well during any type of health or life issue.
