the fight for their lives. They are in the middle of treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, and recovery plus so much more. Many do not want to be “seen.” We respect that and honor them. We are providing them a safe place that is all about “Healing Through Connections.”
The second reason, I can say it was not something that was our focus. I have seen this talk many times. They do say, “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.” I do believe this is true and I am the student.
It is now over three years that I have been at this. Starting from scratch to build a platform to make a difference for nearly the full population of the world sounds nearly impossible, yet, I have never seen it in that way. I look at the “one.”
Like the shirtless dancer, it starts with one. In our case with building Chemo Buddies for Life aka Chemo Buddies 4Life; CB4L.org it started with two. Two buddies. We have now grown a movement that is in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and more. We are building a leadership base that is completely made up of volunteers. These volunteers seem to be receiving more then they give; they are experiencing the “Magic in OUR Movement!” So, is our program working? Yes! Is it public enough? No, I do not believe it is.
Over the next month, until my next article, I am going to work on this issue and prepare a way for the magic to be front and center. The “issues,” how to bring more awareness to our CB4L.org programs, those who have joined us in our “dance” and the magic being experienced.
I asked at the beginning of this article, “Do you have what it takes to start a movement?” I now want to include the follow-up, “Are you ready to create a movement and highlight those who are following the magic in the movement?” I can share with you today, I do and I am!
There is magic in our CB4L.org movement. Find out more about how we are changing the face of cancer, one buddy at a time. Join us and together we will build a global, magical buddies movement; “The Love it Movement” and it will make history!
