This is really neat. I received this message from a friend who helps coordinate a huge Cancer fundraiser called Dance For The Cure. She is taking differeent things mentioned in my book to create a basket to be bid on.
Dear Jim,
I purchased your book I’m Not Done Yet a few months ago, and this past weekend I finally had the chance to sit down and read it. I’ve always considered myself a slow reader, but I found myself breezing through yours in just three sittings. Like a fine glass of red wine, your words went down smoothly and held my attention.
What struck me most was the way you approached a difficult subject with honesty, humor, and lightness. Your reflections on positivity resonated with me and mirrored much of the approach I’ve taken—and continue to take—on my own cancer journey. I consider each new day a blessing to be celebrated. My mantra is: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.” Unlike many, I truly love celebrating my birthday, an anniversary I will never take for granted.
Your book’s message is powerful, uplifting, and inspirational.
As you may recall, this is my busy time of year when I immerse myself in creating beautiful baskets for the breast cancer charity I volunteer for. This year, I’ve decided to create an “I’m Not Done Yet” basket in your honor. Inside the basket, I’m including your book, a lap blanket with inspirational quotes, a box of shortbread cookies, a bag of Life Saver candies, and a gift certificate for a relaxing massage.
The only things missing are a personal note and signature inside the book, as well as one of your “challenge” coins. Would you be able to help me with these two missing items?
Again, a great read for the person beginning and living through their own cancer journey!
Regards,
A
The book and challenge coin are on their way, and thank you for doing this in my honor.
