Kindness in this world is to be treasured and celebrated. I have just received this wonderful, kind gift from a neighbour who has read Nipples to Kneecaps–to die or not to die with cancer . She even thoughtfully bought me some very appropriate sunflowers seeds! Thank You Trisha, who lives in Seaton! Being the recipient of kindness–whether from a known or unknown source, or when I witness an act of kindness– always leaves me feeling so blessed and loved. Have you noticed

'Nipples to Kneecaps - to die or not to die with cancer' tells our incredible story. We hope that it will inspire you to face your challenges and beat them, just as Steve did. " It will mak

"Not only is this book an inspiration and education for anyone who is unfortunate enough to have cancer touch their lives. It is also a very personal and uplifting read ."

Poor Steve was wasting away. Gaunt, getting even thinner and weaker, but he still wanted to be there for Alexander. Days after this picture, Steve was told the treatment was not working – he was dying - so maybe tomorrow Steve would not be there. I received this review of the book today: "A truly inspiring story! A rollercoaster of emotions. Never again will I doubt that you can achieve anything you set your heart out to do. Thank you Mandy & Steve for sharing your amazing s

As you have expressed an interest in 'Nipples to Kneecaps – to die or not to die with cancer' I wish to share some personal photographs from our family albums and a few extra comments that are not in the book. This photo of me, Steve and Alexander was taken in 1986 a few months after Steve was given three months to live. Steve was determined to be there for his son even if he was too weak himself to hold up the dish to feed him – so here you can see team work in action! P.S.

Stillbirth and the death of a baby The spirit and soul of the stillborn baby and of those who are born to only stay for a short while (be that an hour, a day, a week or a few months) are looked after, at all times, by the ever present, loving Spirit. The child’s spirit and soul came from Love –from the Source–to stay awhile with the parents. During that time Spirit remains closely connected with them, so that when the child returns, they are gently received once more into th

Wax pictures. I used to love making them. Do you remember, as a child, taking a strong piece of paper and covering it completely with coloured wax crayons? I always made stripes of different colours. Then the whole picture would be covered black wax. Messy, but worth it. Because when you then took your completely black picture and scratched a pattern or drawing on it, surprising colours sprang up from beneath, creating a magical image. We are a bit like those wax pictures. I

Strength is like a magnet pulling individual iron filling towards it. As children, many of us saw– or even played with– iron fillings and magnets at school. I was always thrilled by the magic of how the tiny iron fillings moved in response to the magnet creating beautiful patterns. Here is a life lesson. If you have a huge task to achieve or a heavy burden to shift, don't try to lift it all up at once. Instead, see the task or burden transformed into iron fillings. Now se
