I Cry: Guidance, Meditation, Healing for Mastectomy

Breast Cancer Awareness is known. Breast Cancer education is overlooked. Breast cancer is about a pink ribbon celebration annually with walks and donations and corny reposted messages. What the book I Cry is about is the one, on-the-court experience, the as lived experience of the journey, the pain, the questions that come with the initial diagnosis of breast cancer by the author. It is an attempt to bring to life the many facets of the disease and what women could go through on their journey. And more importantly, the book is crafted through a visual medium that allows for the message to be heard newly. The art is all created from Judy-Lee's library of photography being digitally fused to create a new world that speaks to the soul, the essence of who we are as women, men and humans going through an unspeakable and unexplainable journey. Sometimes art speaks louder than words can and this is where the book allows for the unspoken to be spoken.

Each piece evokes an emotion personal to the reader and is guided with meditative quotes and a possible way to contribute to the person going through and experiencing breast cancer. The author understands that most people want to contribute and yet most people don't know the best way to make the kind of difference they really want to make and don't have the words to express their ultimate love and concern.

Hopefully this book will bring people closer to asking questions and engage in honest conversations around breast cancer and what fears they are dealing with.

About the Author
Lee, Judy-: - Who is Judy-Lee? She is a woman who has faced adversity head on and come through. Having lost a sister and cousin to breast cancer, she knew the perils of the disease and never considered it to be her path in life. In 2016 that changed and she had to confront the decision of mastectomy or live. The choice seems obvious yet the struggle to reach the decision and live a life as an unnatural woman was real. She found healing throughout the excruciating pain of recovery and insomnia through art merging her love for photography and new technology which assisted her in being in the zone while being in pain. She wants to educate and make a difference in bringing awareness to the variety of experiences one may go through as they deal with breast cancer and mastectomy. She lives in California and is working on the next book in this series as well as a book based on her sister's life as pioneer in aviation in Jamaica and a casualty of breast cancer. Judy-Lee speaks on how to soar to new heights in the face of adversity. Judy-Lee has a BA in Radio Television Film Production from California State University, Northridge.
