“So grateful for the ability to reach across the country and my own limitations in order to send “hope and healing” with your book to my friend with cancer. What a light you are giving to the world-helping those who are diagnosed but those of us who aren’t sure what to say or do. You gave me both- something to say and do- and I was able to find such fun socks! Your work is important and it matters.

About the Book
Wacky Socks, Flowing Scarves, and Love is a visual story and journal created by the love and journey of two talented sisters, Roxann and Rhonda. This book is filled with emotional-healing advice and encouragement for living with cancer and serves as a guide for navigating the mindless maze of a cancer diagnosis. Rhonda loved to wear wacky socks and flowing scarves during her cancer treatment years. She found that they added humor, light, and connection with all those surrounding her. Rhonda believed in the power of journaling to clear one’s thoughts and give rise to a new life full of possibilities, beauty, joy, peace, and love. She never liked the saying “battling with cancer.” She preferred making peace with it in her life by practicing gratitude, which allowed her not only to live with cancer but also to thrive.

The book is a work of art from the photos (some I totally recognized), the design, it’s inspiration and downright usefulness. Thank you for bringing this gift to life and to my doorstep!
