A little more serious a topic

As most know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Friday was National Mammography Day.

I've lost two friends to breast cancer. My hairdresser and then this spring my mom's close friend/next-door neighbor growing up--she was like our second mom growing up, and we knew if mom wasn't catching our misdeeds, that Sarah would. It's still shocking to think that they are gone, even more so for their families.

Please, if you can, donate to this very worthy cause. Make sure you have a breast exam yearly and mammogram if you are in the right age group. I also want to mention that Hansen's Organic Sodas have red tabs on their cans. Mail these tabs in - for every tab they receive, they will donate 10 cents to Breast Cancer research.
