In March of 2022, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It has been raw, intense, and chaotic but a significant and transformative experience as well. In the midst of my anger, my sadness, and all of my fears, as a creative soul, I was drawn to write my feelings and inspirations down. Never would I have known that my first book would be born.

Solstice is a compilation of my own channeled intimate reflections, nuggets of wisdom, and poems I’ve written throughout this larger-than-life journey and has been a wonderful outlet for me to truthfully welcome the possibility to connect inward and fully embody this absolute love and compassion for myself.

Writing this book also helped me find solace, peace, and bliss in this chaotic season of my life, and I am very grateful for it. The journey is not over. Healing is not linear and has many bumps along the road. It is our life’s work. I trust with certainty that this experience will be one of the most significant lessons, redirecting me on the right path for my highest good and growth. One day at a time, I am learning to shed whatever is no longer in alignment with my soul and to choose love and joy instead.

I hope Solstice will bring you comfort and support in your own beautiful, messy, and remarkable metamorphosis. Know that you are always loved and supported no matter what you are going through. Never underestimate the warrior you are. We each have a fire within us waiting to be lit. You are fierce and powerful beyond measure, and love will always be the greatest medicine you
will find.

I see you. I hear you. I love you. Unconditionally.

Other beautiful testimonials

  • The book beautifully underscores the idea that our hardships, like cancer, are not mere afflictions but powerful catalysts for growth, self-love, and compassion. With a message of shared humanity, Tanya encourages readers to embrace their stories, find strength in vulnerability, and recognize the divinity within. Solstice is a soulful journey that whispers, 'We are more powerful than we think, and healing is not only possible but inevitable.

  • Sometimes when you find yourself facing difficult situations and dealing with the physical and emotional impact of them, you can forget the wonderful parts of yourself that still exist buried beneath it all. Solstice is full of affirmations that lovingly remind you how courageous, resilient, and capable you are while also reminding you that it’s okay to make space for grief, take time to process, and allow yourself to heal in ways that are right for you. There’s something about seeing those words in your weakest moments that bolsters your spirit. While the book was inspired by the author’s experience of being diagnosed with cancer and her healing journey, I believe this book would be a powerful and encouraging companion for anyone whether your current healing journey involves your physical health, mental health, spirituality, relationships, or other areas of life.

  • Solstice is a collection of poems that explores the themes of introspection, reflection, and transformation. The author, Tanya Montpetit, shares her journey of healing from cancer and finding hope and joy in life. The poems are honest, raw, and inspiring, and they touch on various aspects of the human experience, such as love, loss, grief, gratitude, faith, and resilience. The book is divided into four sections, corresponding to the seasons of the year and the stages of the author’s journey. The poems are written in a simple and accessible style, with vivid imagery and metaphors. Some of the poems are more powerful and memorable than others, but overall, the book is a beautiful and uplifting read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry, especially those who are going through a difficult time or looking for some inspiration. Solstice is a testament to the power of poetry and the strength of the human spirit.
