Hi friends!! Its your friend Tall Kim (for real! I really DO care!) coming to you with a QUESTION!!
And YES!! Im really asking for YOUR INPUT here!
Im tossing around an idea near and dear to my heart.. and would like YOUR input! 😍
As many of you know.. Im a breast cancer survivor (praise be for 6 + years free!) .. I am ALSO a Nationally board certified health & wellness life coach AND a cancer consultant in the naturopathic oncology space (heaven's thats a mouthful isn't it?!?)
Anyhoo.. with all that knowledge & personal experience (ps.. Im NOT a dr.. so I DONT diagnose, prescribe, or treat 🙏.. )
. I am asked REGULARLY about what kind of GIFT or SUPPORT to give to a loved one on a cancer journey..
And really.. this is so much what Healthy Life Happy Life is ALL about! Supporting your holistically healthy life (thats "whole being".. body, mind & soul.. health btw!)
So I'm thinking about gathering & offering some SPECIFIC gift/support items.. and even some gift baskets (more like bags) that contain helpful items for anyone on a cancer journey.
My vision currently includes a cozy blanket.. (uplifting and or 100% cotton), slippers (soft & comfy) both because dear Lord ... sitting in that infusion chair gets COLD esp when frozen mitts/socks to help prevent neuropathy and or cold capping is at play!
Also.. a quality stainless steel water bottle (cuz hydration is key & plastic is hideous!) .. & maybe some organic herbal tea or essential oils to help calm the tummy? Some truly moisturizing skin therapy (hello TALLOW!) and maybe some other small helpful and or uplifting items ...
And maybe even the greatest book of all time for cancer & really for LIFE ("The Metabolic Approach to Cancer" 😍😍😍)
All contained in an insulated lunch bag.. (cuz bringing your own food/drink to infusion is MILES better than the garbage offered there 🤮)
And OF COURSE!!! FLAMINGOS!! (My beloved mascot.. cuz (excuse my French).. FLOCK CANCER! 🦩🦩🦩)
So here's my question..
Is this anything that YOU would find helpful? And would turn to as a resource as needed? (God.. I so wish cancer was not as prevalent as it is .. yet here we are 🙏)
So.. my QUESTION(S) Would you want a gift basket/bag containing "all the things"? & Whats your price point? (Hint .. all the things ain't free!)
Are there specific ideas of quality, organic, well sourced items that YOU would want to gift? (Or get for yourself if this is your journey?)
Or do you have perhaps a few "willing to pay" thresholds for different relationships in your life.. (look.. i can buy it ALL.. but if its not right for YOU.. well then.. i just get to stare at it.. rearrange it & try to explain to my husband why I have excess inventory🥲)
And or..
Would you want individual options with maybe signage on why they are helpful?
What else?? Im asking for ideas here! 😍
Does this "land" for you?
Please help .. my heart & brain wants to do it ALL but my poor budget cant (unless it will work for YOU.. in which case .. I WILL FIND A WAY!) ..
Please chime in.. tell me what you WANT/NEED!! & ask your friends what they want/need... Also Share this page with others.. and please let me know how I can help you!!
Ps.. all this extends way beyond "just" the month of October💗.. because cancer knows no month nor any color.. 🙏
Pss Gods blessing be with anyone navigating cancer. I am always available in support as well. www.metabolicapproachconsulting.com
