Hilda

In 1997, Carol Roth was in her late thirties living a hectic, programmed life as wife, mother, real estate agent, volunteer, and tennis player. She believed she was pursuing and experiencing the life of her dreams. In spring of 1998, Carol was diagnosed with leukemia. By 2010, after managing her dis-ease for over 12 years, she arrived at an impasse. The leukemia had mutated, transforming into an aggressively growing, chemotherapy-resistant disease, leaving her with only one alternative: a bone marrow transplant. Over a year after the transplant passed without significant improvement, and Carol and her family faced the potential possibility of hospice care as the next step in her health journey. Remarkably, today, she is medication-free, cancer-free, and savoring fully the joys of life without a "Health Imbalance, Leukemia Diagnosis Adventure," a term she references in her book as an elephant named Hilda. Carol's healing adventure is an empowering story of transformation, courage, and learning. Discover how Carol embraces her health challenge as the impetus to begin a life-changing spiritual journey; how she creates HILDA, an unusual relationship to her experience; how she and her support team navigate the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental nuances of living with complications; and how her adventure ultimately leads her to an integration of body, mind, and spirit, uncovering balanced health and the joy filled blessing of a "beginning again" attitude. True healing can manifest in many different ways. A truth common to all of us, accordingly to Carol's experience, is that when we choose to live in alignment with Spirit's guidance, miracles happen. When we live the questions of "What can I learn? How can I love? and What is for the highest good?" anything is possible, and everything always gets better.
