It is late and I have worked a long day. To sit and write something meaningful about how I was cared for with A Hat/Scarf Party, a meal schedule that was filled for 6 months straight, or sent handwritten notes by people I had never met {SPOILER ALERT!}, would not do it proper justice. So […]
Day 7: Rub Her Back
I didn’t grow up with any sisters. I have two older brothers, and that served me well for my tomboyish, sports-loving childhood. It wasn’t like I sat pining for a sister, but there was a small part of me that always wondered what it would be like to know that kind of bond, to have […]
Day 6: Walk or Run In Her Honor
This past Saturday, Pinked Perspective hosted the 2nd Annual Think Pink Family Fun Run/Walk and Breakfast in the Park at Broadneck Park in Annapolis, MD. The hope is that this would be our main fundraising event for the year and happen every first Saturday of October {So please mark your calendars for October 3, 2015!} […]
Day 5: Gift An Aimee Weaver Design
I didn’t realize I would be writing about art so much this month but then I realize loving a friend who is walking through breast cancer is exactly art. And I am just hoping to help give you ideas how to share your specific art with her based on what she might be going through. […]

Day 3: Discover Your Art
Artist is not a description I would use of myself. Notice it has been left out of the “About Me” section on the website. I would have been thrilled to have received a little more right-brainedness when God was handing it out. Even after reading Emily Freeman‘s most recent book A Million Little Ways in […]
Day 2: Do Your Own Breast Self-Exam
I have mentioned before that one of my first posts for the month will always be a reminder for women to do their breast self-exam. If you need a description of how to do a breast self-exam, www.breast cancer.org is a great resource. Print it, laminate it, plaster it, monogram it, Siri it into your reminders, […]
Day 1: Stop Feeling Helpless
Since I was the one delivering the news to my closest girlfriends, I never thought much about what it was like to be on the receiving end of hearing the news that a friend has breast cancer. Recently I asked one of my friends what it was like…. I’m not usually quick on returning messages. […]
