I'm genuinely glad to hear you're doing well. 'Illness has a way of stripping everything down to its essence'—it's so true, I felt that too.

We often view negative events or “slowdowns” as something to work to avoid. But interestingly, many times we find our most powerful sources of strength in challenging times, and come out with a more authentic and full view of life.

Wishing you a smooth recovery period and renewed strength in life.

Such a profound quotation by Confucius. I am pulling for your continued improvement and what sounds like it will be a clean bill of health! ❤️

Beautifully written, Deb. I continue to battle cancer and the day-in-day-out fight simply to feel “good” or “normal” is something I struggle with. I wish you the best on your journey.

Oh Deb, I had no idea, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this and I'm just glad you are ok now. Sending lots of love to you and your family as you hit the road to recovery. It sounds like you already have your head in the game for it, and no doubt we are all here to support you along the way. Thank you for sharing your personal story, it really does make a difference.

Hi @Deb Liu, I used to regularly follow your content last year. I had dropped off for a few months, so I just find out about your diagnosis.

We send you our best wishes/prayers to make a full, speedy recovery and we are keeping your family in our thoughts. Stay positive and you are going to come out of this stronger than before!

Thanks for sharing, Deb! As a stroke survivor, I really appreciated Confucius's quote about how "A healthy man wants a thousand things, a sick man only wants one."
