In a way I've been aware of the power of the mind but I havent thought about it in a long time. When I was 16 i was diagnosed with leukemia & told my odds were very bad. I CHOSE a different outcome. I was told I would NEVER have kids cuz of the chemo. I HAVE 4 amazing daughters. I was a child of a teen mom, grew up w/abuse from an alcoholic step parent. Odds are I too should have been a teen mom & alcoholic but I made up my mind to do otherwise. I CHOSE to be healthy body & mind.
