..this month..



Last year around this time I decided to write my senior seminar final paper on the power of positive thinking and outcome of breast cancer. Now, one year later, my cousin is diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 years old. Something we think we will never have to face, hits us when we least expect it.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I always wear my ribbon and support cancer research but this month is even more important and special to me this year. It is a reminder that I need to be more self exams and taking steps of precaution. Early detection is huge. Spread the word to your friends this month...let's step up and take care of ourselves.
