Dear NeuroPoet,
I am a fellow Unsealer, and was fortunate enough to have one of my poems selected for publishing in “Unsealed the Magic”. I have a small YouTube channel, that I am using as a platform to shine light on stories of Resilience. As a courtesy I wanted to inform you that I have highlighted your piece “Not 1 Moment” as part of a podcast feature. I want to say thank you so much for sharing, who you may touch is immeasurable. -

Write a letter or poem to yourself about what you love about this chapter of your life 1 years, 1 months agoAs We Climb
As We Climb
As we climb, no one really knows what’s on our minds
As we climb, we are not sure along the way what we’ll find
As we climb, the path ahead, it can be a little blurry
As we climb, let’s make sure we don’t grow to worry
As we climb, we know that everything takes time
As we climb, try to keep that in mind
As we climb, there needs to be a passion inside
As we climb, burn with the blaze and drive of an iron side
As we climb, we develop a grace and elegance of royalty
As we climb, continually stoking the fire in our belly as if out of self-loyalty
As we climb, we can proclaim
we will take back our strength
we will take back our worth
we will take back our powerAnd as we climb, we will show the world the true meaning of a survivor

I love this. As someone who is also “climbing,” I could relate to every single line here. Being on a climb has humbled me in so many ways, but it is also incredibly fulfilling. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being a part of The Unsealed family. This is beautiful and inspiring. <3 Lauren

Danyelle L. WalkerGreetings,
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the left breast was my diagnosis in August 2022. The day would forever alter the course of my life. I am writing to you today as a testament to strength, courage, and resilience. Not just for myself, but all those affected by this disease. I write to continue to encourage myself in this literal fight for my life.
I began to write not long after my radiation treatments ended. I had a few poems written and a short story from a few years ago. A relative visiting from out of town happened to mention that She was an editor. At that time, she had a small side business as a proofreader and editor. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve known her all my life and never knew. So I took a chance, a leap of faith some would say. I mentioned, ever so meekly, that “I have written a book.”
She was ecstatic! She had a couple of authors as clients and believed in the power of writing. This made me anxious and excited all at the same time. The next day she shared with me her thoughts and encouraged me to continue writing.
Since that conversation, I started blogging and posting positivity, which helped with the dread I felt inside at times. Writing my thoughts was a much-needed form of therapy. With my diagnosis, treatments, and all that I experienced in 2022 and 2023, I definitely needed a positive outlet. Life had become chaotic and some of my poor decisions made things even harder.
Now that I’ve gone through the storm clouds and darkness, I’m even more grateful for my life. I’m thankful for everyday I’m blessed to see. Living with purpose and the hope of the future and whatever life has in store . My desire now is to spread a message of self-love, peace and light. To take back that which we often lose when dealing with a sickness such as cancer, our autonomy.
Yours Truly,

Congratulations on getting to the flowers! I am also a cancer survivor (thyroid), so I really relate to this story of using creative mediums to push through. Your work has a very regal feel to it, and I’m so glad you shared!
