I hate to be anything but positive when it comes to the blog or social media, but last week was a struggle for me. I know it has so much to do with our eternal winter. This beach-loving, slippah-donning gal is weary. It is times like these that I get online and order a bathing […]
What If….
I can say that cancer and suffering give the beautiful gift of perspective. It is the gift you never wanted , the gift wrapped in confusion and brokenness and heartbreak. It’s the gift that strips all your other ideas of living from you completely. The beautiful, ugly raising to the surface of the importance of […]
Focusing on the Milk and Honey
Someone once told me that the early years of parenting are physically exhausting but the next phase takes more of an emotional toll. Well, I think I have entered that next emotionally exhausting phase. It seems that every moment with a now 7 year old, first grader has the potential to be a teachable one. […]
Happy Valentine’s Day from Pinked
Exciting things are happening at Pinked Perspective! I thought I would use Valentine’s Day and share the LOVE by letting you in the exciting news. While I feel the mastectomy kits have covered most of the bases, there is one thing I have been wanting to add for some time now. I wish I had […]
A Prayer of Blessing for the Warrior
This is my prayer today for all the Warriors that are in the midst of the fight, whatever your fight might be.
What I Learned from 2014: Part Three-When God calls you to something, He will be with you.
In my last post, I mentioned Moses questioning God’s call to leadership. Who am I?“ (Ex. 3:11) he asks. “I am slow of speech and tongue.” (Ex 4:10) he argues. The objections, the excuses, I put forth are not much different: “There is too much to manage in my own house.” “I am not […]
What I Learned from 2014: Part Two-Cancer Was My Burning Bush
There is an image I cannot seem to get out of my head. I have read the story in scripture several times in my life and most recently studied this passage as part of the Life of Moses Bible study this year. But it wasn’t until we went to see MOSES at the Sight […]
What I Learned from 2014: Part One-“Let It Go”
I realize I am a bit late with this series since some time has passed since the ball dropped and the fireworks have been shot off. In Hawaii, where we have spent the last two weeks, New Year’s Eve is a significant occasional which can only sufficiently be celebrated with an arsenal of fireworks. Or […]
Merry Christmas 2014
I was so very excited about the Hamilton Family Christmas card this year. It was designed by my sweet friend and breast cancer warrior, Elizabeth and her cousin, Jenna. They have a custom design and paper goods company called Little Bit Heart. This card is from their Pink Collection and all profits from this card were […]
Day 31: Help Write Her Story
Before I really get started on this post I need to preface it by saying that you should have a good understanding of how your Pink Warrior friend views her story. Just because I have been so open about my journey sometimes I have to remind myself that this whole thing is a truly sensitive […]
Day 30: Gift Inspiring Music
Music was a huge source of encouragement to me when I walked through my breast cancer journey. Another idea to care for your friend facing her own journey would be to gift her a playlist of inspiring music. One of my loving friends gifted me Matt Redman’s 10,000 Reasons and from that album I found great […]
Day 29: Encourage Her To Build An Altar
I have had the privilege of studying The Word over the last few years as a participant in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) International. I cannot say enough good things about BSF and the things I have learned though the studies of Genesis, Matthew and now the Life of Moses. In my study of the Old […]
Day 28: Make Her Laugh
I love to laugh. I don’t remember laughing a lot during my diagnosis and treatment, but I would have definitely appreciated a break from all that was happening to me to have a really good laugh. A few LOL suggestions for the Pink Warrior in your life: Take a really funny comedy and have a movie […]
Day 27: Take Care Of Her Caregiver
I have mentioned a few times before here, here, here and here (oh and here) the way my husband took such amazing care of me during every phase of my diagnosis and treatment. From that grievous first meeting with Dr. Tafra and Nurse Amy when he asked all the right questions that I was too shocked to even […]
Day 26: Make Her Dream Of Better Days Ahead
Yesterday I mentioned my chemo sidekick, a.k.a. my mom. I remember several times while I was hooked up to IV’s, she promised me that there would be better days ahead. We dreamed about a really special trip we would take to one of our favorite places on earth once we were on the other side […]
