Held by Grace: A Personal Update and a Creative New Beginning

Dear Beloved Friends,
I hope this letter finds you in peace and good health. It has been some time since we last connected, and I have missed you deeply.
I had previously shared with you that the Holy Spirit had told me to close my practice. In complete obedience, I stepped away from giving counseling sessions. Four days after the Holy Spirit's order, a diagnosis came in - breast cancer.
I hadn’t shared at the time because I needed space to process and heal as this was a deeply personal journey. Needless to say, it was a tremendously difficult and emotional road but, I have never been the healer. God has always been the healer. Every emotion that we had talked about in our sessions for the past 7 years, I now understand not as theory and concepts, but truly, in depth, as living realities. Yes, I lost my hair, and yes, I now walk with a cane, but by the grace of God, the love of my family and friends, and the care of gifted medical professionals, I am now cancer-free and well on the road to recovery.
I share this not to focus on the hardship, but to magnify the goodness of God. Through every step of this tumultuous expedition, I felt held by His presence, and I know the prayers and loving thoughts of those who care for me—like you—played a role in my healing. Thank you for your love, even if you didn’t know exactly what I was walking through.
As my strength has slowly returned, so has my creativity. The Holy Spirit had given me poetry, music, and an artistic eye many years ago but the technology at the time had not yet allowed my ability to share these projects effectively. I’m overjoyed to now share that I’ve published my very first colouring book—a work of love inspired by my reflections on this spiritual journey. It’s a gentle, meaningful project that I hope will bring peace and beauty into your life, just as our time together once did.
If you'd like to see the coloring book or learn more about it, I’d be honored to share it with you and if you also shared it with all your colouring friends. It is called The Voice: A Poetry Colouring Book (FYI, this is the Canadian spelling of the word 'coloring')
To watch the video of The Voice, you can find it in 2 places:
A quick note about Amazon as a collective company, their C-Scale (which measures the honesty and integrity of a person, group, or item) as of December 31, 2017, was only 18. In other words, they did not care about anyone or anything except making money. At this measurement, I would never have anything to do with them.
The C-Scale of Amazon as of December 31, 2024, is now 771. Clearly, they have changed their wicked ways! They now care about their clients and customers, and their employees. They are certainly not perfect as the C-Scale goes to 1,000, but they are working on their honesty and integrity and they genuinely seem to care about what others think of them. I am honored to have my book under their umbrella.
My intention for the future is to continue writing Colouring Books, Children's Books, Music, Blogposts, Videos, and more; all the things that the Holy Spirit inspired me to do years ago. I hope each project brings you joy, peace, and your own divine inspiration.
With all my heart, thank you for the love, trust, and connection we’ve shared over the years. I carry each of you with me still.
May God's peace and joy surround you always.
With Peace, Love, and Gratitude,
Sonja.
