The Tree, the Storm, and the Survivor
Not all soil produces life. You can take the healthiest seed, full of potential, and bury it in the wrong environment. It will struggle to grow. Bad soil is dry, toxic, or shallow.

Yet when I received the diagnosis of breast cancer on 6 August 2021, just shy of my 50th birthday – I acquiesced. No devastated falling in a heap, no gut wrenching cry of “Why me?”, no tears of fear, no dread of being reaped from this life untimeously.
