Some quotes are Stefanie’s originals; others are scriptural or traditional.
Mantra
- Right here. Right now. Just this moment.
- You don’t need to solve everything today.
- Just breathe.
Stefanie’s Note
- Right here right now, just this, just this
- Your frightened (ok horrified ), worried and in a panic. Comfort: focus on your inhale and exhale.
- You likely have a number to call or a specialist appointment. Make the calls (or ask someone). Think about your healing team.
- Feels like an emergency but usually it’s not.
- Once core appointments are scheduled (oncology, radiology), consider: trauma‑informed therapist/energy healer, supplements via naturopath/homeopath. You’re interviewing, gathering info, and deciding from love, not fear. Bring a loved one to take notes or record.
- Healing is multifaceted. You’re at the head of your round table.
Truth
- This feels urgent… but you have time to take one step at a time.
- You are allowed to slow this down.
Reflection
- What one small next step will I take today, and what helps me feel safe right now?
Gentle Action
- Hand on heart. Inhale 4… exhale 6. Do this 5 times. Then choose ONE next step.
