My Life, My Choice Wheelchair at BeachInspirational Oncology Text: "My Life, My Choice"

This text of "What Cancer Cannot Do" was intially used in the DonnaBellas Angels paintings. Laurel Latto, DonnaBellas Angels Founder, had 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, Laurel 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". Laurel decided to take the theme of this cancer prayer but only pair positive nouns and verbs together.

Grandmother with cancerPart of her writing process was 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. Laurel looks forward to the opportunity to paint the text many times over in trying to capture the moment of feeling beauty. She is also thankful for her family & friends who helped provide feedback during the writing process.

Below are both English and Spanish versions of the poems. Links to the art with this text are on the left of this page.
