Hope grows whenever we share our stories with an open heart.
I am delighted to share some wonderful news. Indigo has purchased copies of RISE: Living Life Over Cancer for their Dartmouth and Halifax Chapters locations, and they will soon be available for sale in both stores.
When I began writing RISE, my intention was simple. I wanted to create a resource that offered support, nourishment, and hope to anyone navigating life with a chronic illness or caring for someone who is. I had already written more than 150 blogs, each one centered on mindful living, resilience, nourishment, and movement. These writings formed the foundation of the book. To see it now finding its way into our local bookstores is an honour.
Why This Matters
Indigo’s decision to purchase RISE means that more people will have access to the very stories and practices that have supported me on my own journey with stage IV breast cancer. It means that someone walking into a store in search of encouragement may find exactly what they need at the right time. It means that the conversations about mindful living, integrative wellness, and the strength within each of us will continue to grow.
This milestone is also a reflection of the many people who have supported me. Every message, every conversation, every book purchased at a signing or through Amazon has helped get RISEÂ into the hands of readers across Nova Scotia and beyond. I am truly grateful.
How You Can Help Bring RISE to More Communities
If you live elsewhere in Nova Scotia or anywhere across Canada, you can request RISEÂ at your local Indigo, Chapters, or Coles. These requests make a meaningful difference. They help ensure that people in your community can access the book and the stories of hope within it.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Thank you for walking beside me as RISEÂ continues to reach more readers. Your encouragement has been a source of strength and inspiration throughout this journey. My hope is that the book will continue to support others in living fully, grounded, and mindfully, no matter what challenges they face.
