Angels 4 Oncology: My Life, My Choice Text

This text of "What Cancer Cannot Do" was shared with me by a friend (see background story.) I got the idea to pair the text with a positive colors and an image of an angel as way to uplift and counter act the negative aspects of cancer. In looking at the text I realized that the image was positive; however, there was a lot of negative in the verbs like "kill, corrode, destroy" paired with positive nouns like "faith, hope, love". I decided to take the theme of this cancer prayer but only pair positive nouns and verbs together.

Part of my writing process is to visualize how the text would look when paired with a painting. The "Feel Beauty" is meant to pay tribute when you see or feel something that moves you but you can't really capture the feeling with words. I look forward the opportunity to paint the text many times over in trying to capture the moment of feeling beauty.

I would also like to thank my family & friends who helped give me feedback during the writing process.
