On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink!

"On Wednesdays, we wear pink!" - Mean Girls

It's October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I've been a champion of this cause for at least a decade. It has effected my family in major and minor words. I've written about the cause before here and here. There are two great organizations that are fighting the good fight. They are Save The TaTas and Susan G. Komen. Both are worthy foundations. If you can, donate to both or either. Every little bit helps. It is up to us to find the cure. This is a cause that I will always stand behind. Wear pink to show your support. One of the funniest slogans I've ever seen for this cause is "Save a life, Grope your wife!!" That's hilarious to me. We should all be aware of this cause all year round. But, in October, it's more visible. Give yourself breast exams monthly. Make sure that all is well with you and your breasts. And, it's Wednesday, go ahead and wear pink for the cure!

"I have been giving myself breast exams since I was about 14. The disease has ravaged my family. The women in my family have mostly survived. At the age of 24, I found what I though was a mass in my right breast. I was beyond scared. I was also experiencing these sharp shooting pains in my breast. My doctor examined me and thought that it was only mass tissue. He sent me in for my first mammogram to make sure. It was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was so glad that my Mom was with me. I have never prayed so much in my life. I, of course, thought of all the ways it could go wrong for me. I was only 24. I was too young. It hurt like hell and I think it is a horrible experience. I received my results that day. I was fine. there was nothing there. I was so relieved. I thanked God right there in the waiting room. Cancer scares me more than anything." - Kenda

I Will Wear Pink Until There's A Cure!

"I wear PINK for both of my Grandmother's who are survivors." These pictures are catchy and funny. But, the cause they stand for is serious. It is a cause dear to me. I just wish someone could find a cure for it. Cancer is a horrible disease. Women are dying too young and too frequently from breast cancer. We all need to do what we can to help aid in the cure. We are heading towards the end of Breast cancer Awareness month. So I just wanted to reiterate how important the cause and the cure are to all of us. I wear PINK for all the women who have survived and all those who have perished. I will continue to wear pink until there is a cure. You should too!! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We all need to be more aware of things.

Pink and Girly Moment

A woman in love is quite a beautiful creature. She glows. Everything in her life is brighter, better. I'm starting to realize something about myself. I'm a totally different me now that I'm in love. I know that it shouldn't surprise me. But it does. Things that would even matter to me before matter so much more now. I care about everything concerning my Love.

In love, I'm more possessive than I've ever been. Maybe it's because I know that he's mine and I'm his. I don't flirt because I don't need to. I'm slow to respond to the random texts from men I used to know, used to date. I'm quick to send those calls to voicemail. They know me. I'm a respectful chick. When I'm in a relationship, I demand that everyone in my life respects it. With HIM, it's so much deeper. I don't feel the need to keep in touch with folks. Because where I am right now is so much more important. We're building towards a future.

Everything in the world is still the same yet I'm completely brand new. How wonderful is that? I can't truly describe it. Its just amazing what true real love feels like. His love is all encompassing. He holds my heart in his hand and vice versa. Because of love, I'm a changed woman. I can only hope that my love affects him the same way. I'm up late or early feeling all extra girly and pink. This is what's on my heart right now. So, I decided to share it with you.
