From the Editor
Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>
Hi folks and welcome to our 7th issue of GP! With an overwhelmingly busy October, the issue had to be delayed till November. And we missed you as much you did us. Healing is special when you talk of life-threatening diseases like cancer. But of course, many humans heal and share their survivor stories. One recently published free e-book How We Became Breast Cancer Thrivers includes breast cancer survivor stories in 44 chapters. A must read, especially as it comes free! Enjoy our LHP news and updates below.

Words of a Journey: My Thoughts on Life and Living by Kaitlyn Kashman: “In her frank, introspective style, Kaitlyn takes the reader to places within her writing that one might never have considered, to ask questions that cause the reader to pause and reassess one's own answers and finally to realize that by merely reading the words written within this tome, the reader will never be the same.
