Sometimes Less is More

Just when I thought I had nothing interesting to blog about today, this story popped up on my homepage...


  

Talk about doing something amazing! There are so many ways to spread breast cancer awareness and we are each capable of making a change in someone's life. There are hundreds of walks, fundraisers, and events we can attend, especially in the upcoming month of October. However, you do not have to do something as crazy as walking 39.3 miles or shaving your head. Kelly Pickler is clearly incredibly busy with her singing career, but even she took a moment to make a difference not only to her friend, but also to the public. By her shaving her head, she has shown women all over that there is so much more to life than a head of beautiful hair. What really matters is life and sharing it with the ones who love and care about you. If we are so unlucky as to be diagnosed with breast cancer, having loved ones there to support you will mean so much more than having to say goodbye to your hair and/or your boobies. Plus, they can both be replaced for something better :)

Although we may tell ourselves that we do not have time, we do. We all have the time to support those in need and I hope that if I can't inspire you to make an effort, than hopefully Kelly Pickler can.

Breast Cancer awareness month is October and I hope you each can commit to showing support in some way. Wether you can join a walk, hold a friends hand at her next doctor's appointment, or even purchase some breast cancer apparel. You CAN make a difference. 

Donations towards my walk can be given here.
