Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Margaret Cahill aired from May 26th on.
“Under Cover of Darkness:
How I Blogged My Way Through Mantle Cell Lymphoma”.
My name is Margaret Cahill and in December 2012 I was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. I originally started blogging as a way of exploring my journey through an uncharted landscape and also of keeping in touch with the huge amount of people that my partner, Stephen, and I seemed to know. I encouraged people to post comments and the blog quickly became a source of great support for me. I really enjoyed writing about the trials and tribulations, the good (yes, there was a bit of good!), the bad, and the ugly sides of having cancer and also the challenges involved in keeping my company, The Wessex Astrologer, based in Bournemouth, England, functioning during the long stays in hospital.
It is now more than 2 years on from the initial blogs, which have been turned into a book called “Under Cover of Darkness: How I Blogged My Way Through Mantle Cell Lymphoma”. As a result of the book I am involved in radio interviews and a lot of publicity which I hope will spread the word that it is possible to get through chemo with a bit of sanity intact thanks to some amazing support and the help of some very basic nutritional supplements.
Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Author, Speaker, Radio Talk Show Host – Helen Woo. Aired from May 19th on.
Then Take Your Cue from Helen Woo’s “SELF-AID” to Put Your Life Back on Track
Woo Offers the Transformative Thinking That Helped Her Overcome the Miseries in Her Life
Helen Woo endured her life. It wasn’t living. Raised in a restrictive traditional Chinese-American household, she experienced self-esteem issues, mental and physical abuse, grief, substance abuse, betrayal and depression. Yet she still managed to have a successful career that allowed her to build a bit of a nest egg. Later, when she invested it in a partnership with a close friend, only to have her partner steal all of the assets, that betrayal was the last straw. Alone and raising a son, Woo knew something had to change—and it wasn’t the world around her—it was the world within her.
Freed by the laughter she experienced watching Ellen Degeneres each day, Woo realized that laughter was indeed the best medicine for her. During her healing, she started to read inspirational books, and as she did, she began to revise what she was reading into her own, positive, uplifting interpretations so that it directly applied to her. Each negative thought or emotion was then subjected to a “rewrite” in her mind so that soon she could feel the shift in both her inner AND outer life.
Helen Woo is the author of the book, “SELF-AID” – Inspirations to Turn Struggles to Success”. Helen is also the radio talk show host: Self Aid Success Stories with Helen Woo on Toginet.com.
Helen wants the world to know that just because we find ourselves in a difficult situation doesn’t mean we have to stay there. We can always aid ourselves to a better life.
“Positive thinking in combination with positive action always leads to a positive outcome.” – Helen Woo
Sharp and Insightful Wisdom on Every Page, Each Quote Coupled With a “Woosim” to Shift Your ThinkingInto a Positive, New Mindset That Transforms Your Inner and Outer Life
Having experienced a philosophical and spiritual shift, Woo created the concept of SELF-AID–an acronym that stands for Self-Aid (self-help), Esteem, Love/Laughter, Freedom, Attitude, Integrity, Dream. Her new book SELF-AID – Inspirations to Turn Struggles into Success (January, 2015), allows her readers to be inspired and uplifted by the very quotes that ultimately turned her life around. Each quote is followed by one of her unique “Wooisms” — the ideal way to interpret the quote to engineer a shift into a higher and better way of thinking. The book, divided into each of these categories, provides Self-Aid for anyone to lift out of their doldrums or depression and move into a life filled with joy, peace, gratitude and prosperity.
Woo is passionate about paying it forward– giving others the thrust they need to overcome whatever past traumas and dramas might have held them back. With her new book, her radio show, SELF-AID Success Stories, and her second book of the same title, due in the spring, Woo shares empowering and inspiring stories from successful entrepreneurs and public figures on how they overcame their own struggles and failures. Woo is also creating a Self-Aid foundation for empowerment that gives people the courage to change from a negative to a positive framework in their lives; leaving the struggle behind and experiencing the surge!
Woo is now an emerging speaker, writer and leader, who brings a welcome ultra-positive perspective to everything she does. SELF-AID – Inspirations to Turn Struggles into Success is a key to opening up the reader’s heart and mind to reframe his or her life from lacklustre to luscious.
SELF-AID – Inspirations to Turn Struggles into Success, is available on Amazon.com for $15.99. For more information, visit
S= SELF AID — One step at a time… We start by recognizing that we can improve, that we can get well, and that we can be better in every aspect of our lives. Self-Aid is necessary, as we cannot help anyone until we first help ourselves.
E = ESTEEM — With self-esteem and confidence, we also find strength to be able to face life’s challenges. This is the beginning of achieving success.
L = LOVE — Self-love is vital to our existence. Self-love enables us to give and receive love. LOVE is the main ingredient to finding happiness and positivity.
& LAUGHTER — Laughter makes us happy, laughter keeps us healthy. Laughter is more contagious than a cough or a virus. Laughter benefits us in more ways than one. Scientifically proven, laughter helps us emotionally, physically, and mentally. Without a doubt, laughter is the best medicine.
F = FREEDOM — Letting go of anger, pain and resentment gives us the freedom to experience happiness. Forgiveness allows us to live in the present and not in the past. Therefore, we can grow and move on and find true contentment.
A = ATTITUDE — A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. A positive attitude exudes beauty and creates happiness.
I = INTEGRITY – Integrity is the key ingredient in our character… it gives us harmony with our body, mind and soul. Staying true to ourselves is the foundation for living a balanced and good life.
D = DREAM — We each have a dream. If we put our thoughts into action, we can LIVE our dream. Starting today, we are in charge of our own destiny.
