STOP SEEKING OUT THE STORMS!

Is there something going on? Is it contagious or in the water? I'm talking about people & their negativity.... It truly is about to drive me insane. (Which I am totally working on not letting it, because then those kind of people succeed at exactly what their trying to do!) But if people don't start standing up saying enough is enough, when will it ever start to slow down or at least start to get better? I understand everyone has the right to their opinion or "freedom" of speech, or that someone did something to you so you are bitter or hurt, but when will we ever stop? Doesn't everyone have excuses for anything that they do? I could give you a laundry list of life events that I have gone through that I could use as my excuse line, but I don't. I want to be different. I want to be positive. I want to see good in the world. It is coming at me from all angles lately...but I'm standing my ground. I will always try to find & spread the good. After all, I find this world to STILL be a beautiful place!

[join the fight]

Brace yourself...it's that time of year where everything starts to turn pink! (obviously I don't mind one bit!!) Before you roll your eyes, know that it is for a VERY good cause! Breast cancer awareness is so important in today's day in age. Did you know that ONE woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every THREE minutes in the US? An even scarier statistic is that ONE woman will die because of it every THIRTEEN minutes in the US. The good news is that the survival rate has increased drastically since 1960, but the bad news is, there still is no cure.

However there is hope! With early detection and heightened awareness (thanks to organizations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure) lives are being saved every day. Everyone can help make a difference. Whether you run in the race, donate money, buy pink products, or simply spread the word, every single person reached is one more possibility. I hope that you will share this and the pictures with everyone you know.
