The Little Things: A Breast Cancer Memoir

 

It’s ‘the little things’ that matter.

No one knows that more than Lindsey Kennedy. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she couldn’t find the book she needed to read, so she wrote one.

This is Lindsey’s ultimately uplifting story filled with humour when faced with unthinkable health crises. When many would have found only storm clouds, she found silver linings. Along the way, she was supported by the love of family, friends and strangers.

Lindsey’s determination to help others led to her being one of the faces of a national breast cancer awareness campaign, and The Little Things offers insight for anyone facing the dreaded diagnosis. It’s practical, comforting and empowering.

About the Author

Lindsey Kennedy lives in Victoria, Australia with her husband and two children. She is a public speaker, a BreastScreen Victoria ambassador, civil celebrant, teacher and a breast cancer survivor.

In the Blink of an Eye

My life changed forever on November 8 2002.

In a way that I did not see coming.

This is my story, but my hope is that everyone who reads it can take something away for themselves. It is not a story that was always easy to write, however it is a story I wanted to tell.

My accident happened when I was 21 years old and I still feel it’s impact in some way, all these years later. What I learnt about myself and about life in the years after, in many ways makes me thankful that I went through what I did.

I learnt not to take things for granted, I learnt not to focus on the things that don’t matter and most importantly, I learnt that everything can change in the blink of an eye.

PAPERBACK

Highway To Well

This is a story about my personal journey through mental illness. I suffered from severe depression from 2012 until 2015. At one stage my illness became so acute that I became psychotic. Due to my illness, I lost three years of my life. I am sharing my story in the hope that it will not only give encouragement to others who are suffering from the same debilitating illness, but I also hope to touch the lives of the carers, friends, and families of those afflicted with such an insidious, indiscriminate disease.

PAPERBACK

I Don’t Wear Step-Ins Anymore.

A step-in or girdle was worn in the 50s and 60s to control the flab of a female body. Dianne escaped the control of a conservative and Christian middle class family in Sydney and sailed to England in 1968. On arrival, she disposed of her constrictive clothing and began living a swinging London life. A year later, and after a visit from her parents, she moved to a Swiss Village for 6 months. Finally, she travelled home overland by Sundowners bus from London to India in 1970.

This memoir is from letters documenting her overseas journey of discovery. In January 2012 aged 64, she re-read and transcribed at least 300 letters and aerogrammes, after being told by an older cousin, she had been adopted at birth. She re-discovered the controlling mother she couldn’t stand growing up, and even while bringing up a family of her own.

Her adoptive mother Ruby was the one who gave her back all the letters written to her, suggesting she may wish to write a book one day about her travels. This memoir is a homage to her, and also to her adoptive father George, who constantly encouraged her to take off the step-ins and try everything in life.

Self Science 

A Study of You by You

AT THE PRINTER – COMING SOON 

One of the world’s leading performance scientists presents in simple terms some strategies to help you enhance your everyday life.

Dr Craig Duncan provides the basic concepts, the regimen and the vision for implementing the philosophy of “self-science”, a way of living that focuses on the importance of self-exploration and self-awareness as a pathway to a better life.

Using the knowledge gained from working alongside elite athletes in professional sport, and also from his personal experience, Dr Duncan has developed a system to help anyone who wants to reach their full potential.

This is about you becoming involved in the management of your life, rather than being a spectator.
