"Life is a series of perilous journeys... then
you die.
I cannot tell you the countless times I have heard this phrase during my lifetime, but I can tell that the author of this
simple Slogan did not have me in mind when it was composed. I can also tell you that, what is meant to be a simple and
witty axiom has not shown to ring true in this journey, this excursion, this passage I will henceforth call my life.
Author Debra D. Griffin is a survivor.
A Journey to Wellness: A Series of Collective Thoughts, the journal entries of a strong woman whose will to survive
the ravages of breast cancer, liver cancer
and brain cancer will move you to tears!
This is a powerful inspirational story that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you ponder what living life in the shoes
of Debra D. Griffin was like enduring months of chemotherapy sessions, loss of her hair and nails and other tragic
life changing experiences.
These are the actual entries from the journal that the author kept between surgeries, between tears and pain,
between chemo sessions, between prayers and during reflections on her life's phenomenal journey.

I am truly ALIVE and fighting desperately to remain a member of the living world. Yes,
life can be an unforgiving and perilous journey, yet the rewards of its passages are bountiful. I have wonderful people in
my life who see that all my basic needs are met. There is a joy deep in my heart that sings triumphantly and no one can take
it away."
~Debra D. Griffin
Born number nine of ten children to Reverend and Mrs. Jesse E Mitchell, Debra was very shy and unable
to speak her mind. It wasn't until she was forty-five years old and had taken a series of Photography classes that she found
her voice. Always wanting to write a book due to her great love of poetry, the desire heightened after she was diagnosed with
Breast Cancer.
"You see, I was asked to keep a journal. This, I believe, was an exercise to soothe my mind and heart while going through
the process. But what it ended up being is a reflection of my salvation."
Having a great love of family and friends, Debra spends a lot of her time celebrating life. This is not a frivolous thing
as she is currently convalescing from a battle with Stage four Breast Cancer and Breast Reconstruction.
"Honestly, it has been a pleasure, even under this set of circumstances, to render to you the words which speak so vehemently
in my heart.
To be able to have a window of opportunity and to do what you love most is a blessing granted by God under any circumstance.
I hope ask that you please pray that the Lord continues to bless both my family and me."
