As we flip the calendar to another November, my heart aches a little bit. It is in October that this girl finds incredible energy and purpose. That does not mean it is without struggle. But in all faithfulness, The Lord continues to meet me in the struggle and whispers “Finish the Fight”. Whether it is […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting me? (and Happy Labor Day!)
This past week, I celebrated my 42nd Birthday. I should be so excited to celebrate another year of life and health, but lately birthday’s have become tricky for me. I don’t love to feel (and look) older, I hate for summer to slip away, I worry that Fall means another start to running so fast […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting Me? (August Edition)
Exciting things are happening on this 1st Monday! I have the privilege of joining a Breast Cancer support group to share about Pinked Perspective’s mission this evening at the Green Spring location of Johns Hopkins Breast Center. Many months ago, I got to meet up with the awesome Jill Mull and Elizabeth Saylor, patient navigators […]
First Monday…Are you Kitting me
This past week has been marked by mixed emotions for me with regards to Pinked Perspective. I have been dreaming and planning for some website changes for many months. I had help from several friends of Pinked that have contributed to the changes you will now find at our URL. I hope you will enjoy […]
Reminders from the Ceiling Tiles (RePost)
I feel truly blessed to live just outside of Annapolis and have access to such an amazing Breast Center at Anne Arundel Medical Center. When I reflect on those days of going through treatment 7 years ago, I can’t help but be so proud of what we have for Breast Cancer care just minutes down […]
Friday Introductions: Wendy
Since Pinked Perspective would never function with just me, I feel the need to start introducing you to some key players behind this ministry of supporting those facing a breast cancer diagnosis. Today I am introducing you to my friend, Wendy! Many of the sweetest moments of Pinked Perspective at our Think Pink Events over […]
October Reflections from the Trail
It’s November first, it’s seventy degrees, the sun is brightly shining, and the trees are boasting that fall is actually here. Following my Thursday morning routine of Bible Study Fellowship, I can’t think of anywhere I would rather be than taking in this day with a walk on the B&A trail, the exact site of […]
October Grace
If I am honest, I have mixed emotions about October. As it approaches every year, I try to brace myself for it. I brace for the struggle of it because the discouraging moments are bound to come. But in the end, I find I am bracing more for the moments that blow me away and […]
The Best is Yet to Be
On May 18th, my husband and I celebrated 14 years of marriage. This sign was given to us as a gift for our anniversary, and it now hangs in our family room next to the fireplace. It is a spot that I can see well from my “thinking chair” and lately the saying has been […]
Warrior Shana
Back in May, I enjoyed my 9th Mothers Day as a mom myself. 9! Nine! I would believe that to be complete nonsense if I didn’t have a freckled face, dimple-cheeked nine year old staring back at me everyday. The same face that looks at me like he knows infinitely more about everything in the […]
Shana’s Support Squad
To know Shana Tooley is to absolutely love her! I have loved her for the last (almost) six years since she was went above and beyond to care for the least of these, our Son as his 3’s Preschool Teacher at Asbury while his mom was dealing with diagnosis, surgery and chemotherapy for breast cancer. […]
Warrior Stef
We didn’t grow up together. We never attended the same school or church. Our kids were never in class together and never ended up on the same sports teams or in the same activities. I wish I could say we go way back, but our friendship only spans two short years. Our memories together are […]
Merry Christmas from Pinked Perspective
With every event that we planned this year whether it was Relay for Life in early summer, an unbelievable 5 year anniversary fundraiser at Neo in Annapolis in July or the 4th annual Think Pink Family Fun Walk in October, I hoped that each would have an obvious element of celebration to them. The raising […]
I Vote for Heaven: A Tribute to Mary
Today I woke up longing for heaven. There are many days lately that I do, especially after last year’s study of the book of Revelation. The sparkling of precious stones all around…the wiping of every tear…the old order of things passing away…the One on the throne taking His rightful place. And everyone testifying to it. […]
