October Means Save The Ta Tas.

In the last decade or so, it has become fashionable to stand for something, whether it be awareness, a disease or equal rights. Somehow causes became fashionable and I believe we are all the better for it. But with any moral advertisement, comes the consciousness to act in a way that is worthy of that ribbon car magnet or those jeans on Fridays.

In the course of my life I have been closely touched by many breast cancer survivors. Even if some of these special women are no longer with us, they are still survivors. Their story touched someone and possibly inspire one more person to pause and say a little prayer for their health.

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so keep an eye out for all of the fun pink-ribbon themed goodies around town. Please take a moment to pick something up, remember those who have fought the good fight and have some fun with the pink. I've been told that pink is the new black. . . . it had to come from somewhere.

PS: If you are computer sleuth like me, Munchkin has an online program that allows you to design your own Breast Cancer Awareness Rubber Duck. You can pimp it out with various backgrounds, hair and clothes. Each time you forward your duck via email, Munchkin will donate five cents for each person who opens the email. You can also track where in the world your email forwards go as well as the amount of money your duck has raised. Check out my link and email a duck and raise a buck.
