Personal Updates from Valerie

Hello to a new section on the Kaleidoscope website.  A very personal section about me and chemotherapy treatment.

***Some of the reflections I share here speak openly about illness, treatment, and emotional vulnerability.  My intention is honesty, not alarm – please honour your own boundaries and step back whenever you need to. ***

Why am i doing this

  1. I want to document my journey so my family friends and I have a place or places we can return to, to remember what we have been through.  This is not an easy situation to be in or to be going through. I am also recording podcasts on this subject if you prefer to listen to me ramble than to read, depends whether you are auditory or visual https://youtu.be/jsv9iISQ0xY
  2. I want to be authentic and vulnerable. No point in me always telling you to sit in your emotions if I am not prepared to do the same and share those times with you.
  3. I want to show you how I use the tools in these situations.
