Angels Among Us
In giving, there can be a feeling of self-importance; like what I’m doing will matter so much to someone else. I am always humbled when, and this invariably happens, I find this act of giving matters just as much to me as to the receiver. This week I took the money raised from my Breast…

Why We Need To Keep Talking About Breast Cancer
Why is it important to continue talking about breast cancer? Haven’t we exhausted the conversation already? Doesn’t everyone already know about it? Breast cancer has been around for many years. We have become really good at talking about it. We even devote a whole month to it. It’s a common disease that people have become used…

31 Days Of Pink
About a month ago I decided to do one thing every day in October to promote breast cancer awareness. It is a very personal cause that is close to my heart. See why below. Ironically, my dear friend who is always trying to encourage my blog and my writing told me this morning about…
