My 24-year-old adopted granddaughter found out she had cancer in November. We finally got to have lunch together and discuss how she was doing the other day. Her parting words of our conversation were, “It’s all about mindset, Grandma,” —and if anyone exemplifies the importance of mindset, she does.

If we tune in to the present there is no reality of things we dread. It’s just us, breathing naturally with the world. All is well

I am so sorry your Mandy had to go through all that. She sounds optimistic and determined to beat this terrible disease. Cancer touches all of us, doesn't it - our friend, our family, our neighbor? My sister has been battling it for 12 years and is so brave. She inspires us all -- as I am sure Mandy does. I wish her well, my friend. Thank you for sharing her story.

Her mindset is strong and admirable! I’m going to take a page from her book and change my mindset, especially when I’m tempted to complain about trivial health concerns. Mandy is an amazing young woman and strong role model for all who read this!

So inspiring Janice. I am so pleased mindset is becoming a thing these days. It used to be about just being positive, but the whole topic of mindset offers so much more depth. All the best to your family. I know how important family is when these events happen.
