I had the wonderful privilege of speaking at a local breast cancer support group
last week. The group is sponsored by the surgeon who helped me through my own
breast cancer experience, and I am grateful I had such a great doctor who cares
about what's really important. I also had the opportunity to meet his wife who
is greatly involved in this project, and she is also a remarkable person. Here
is a link to their blog with pictures of the event,

I thought it would be
fun to share, especially since it's breast cancer awareness month, and I'm
officially challenging all of you to get your mammograms if they are overdue. It
saved my life! Therefore I am still here to write stories, once I get this
writer's block to clear up. Anyway, I had some friends show up at the meeting
and they are in some of the pictures with me. I want to specifically mention the
beautiful woman wearing the scarf. I met her last spring through means that are
obviously miraculous, and I feel privileged to have gotten to know her and her
mother and sister. Her faith and determination through her struggle with cancer
has inspired and strengthened me in my own trials. I'm grateful for the way God
orchestrates miracles and opportunities into our lives if we are paying
attention. I hope you are all having a lovely October, and that you will find
joy somewhere in your day. God bless!
