Walking Home Journey Toward Self-Healing
When cancer knocked her off course, Ren e S. Tijerina learned the slow practice of putting one foot in front of the other. Walking Home is her memoir and guided journal for those who are ready to do the work: to sit with pain and release it, to rebuild, and to step into life with courage. Honest, practical, and fiercely compassionate, it offers a companion for anyone beginning their own journey.
At fifteen, Ren e was diagnosed with stage I osteosarcoma in her right tibia. The diagnosis was devastating, yet she leaned on family, community, and spirituality to see her through. These pillars of support carried her during chemotherapy, a process that tested her resilience and strength. Nearly two decades cancer-free, she continues to live with the effects of treatment, discovering that healing is not a straight line but an ongoing practice.
There were seasons of doubt, moments when she questioned her path, yet she never gave up. Through therapy, self-reflection, and meditation, she has learned how to accept her past, embrace the present, and look forward with hope. Ren e has transformed her toughest experiences into lessons on resilience, self-compassion, and faith.
Walking Home is designed to meet readers exactly where they are-on their own road. You don't have to start at the beginning, and there is no single "right" way to move through its pages. Some may skip ahead, others may circle back, and many will return again and again as their needs shift. As time passes, the meaning found here may change, because you will change. What speaks to you today may feel different tomorrow, and that is part of the journey.
Above all, this book reminds you that you are not walking alone. Its words are offered as a companion along the path, with the hope of bringing you closer to your own sense of home.
