With love’s true instinct, back to thee!

Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying.  (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud “snort” noises.)  I don’t know why parents don’t do this more often.  Usually it makes the kid laugh.  Sometimes it sends him into shock.  Either way it quiets him down.  If you’re a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage.  Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won’t have his friends hanging around your house all the time.  ~P.J. O’Rourke

I don’t care how poor a man is; if he has family, he’s rich.  ~Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford, M*A*S*H, “Identity Crisis,”

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.  ~Dinah Craik

Where we love is home – home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.  ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.  ~Albert Schweitzer

You can always tell a real friend:  when you’ve made a fool of yourself he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.  ~Laurence J. Peter

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.  ~Marcel Proust

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This post is a little different from any others I have done before and I hope you don’t mind taking the time out to read it.  It’s about Breast Cancer.  This is something that many of us are effected by (whether it be directly or through a friend or family member) and Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) is coming up soon.  So I wanted to share my story.

In 2008 I discovered that a very close family friend (whom I considered an Aunt growing up) had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  She immediately took action, by removing her breasts.  I was devastated for her at the time (as I could never imagine doing the same), but had she not done this, I am not sure she’d be here today.  Then another friend went through the exact same thing that same year (knowing that she had the gene, but not yet the cancer), she too decided to remove her breasts.  I still fill up with tears thinking about the incredible bravery it took both of them to do this (even if it wasn’t the only answer).

When I heard they did it, it REALLY hit home for me.

It made this once foreign concept of breast cancer VERY REAL in my life and something that I should acknowledge.  Despite any sadness or tears…this is one illness that also joins forces with emotions of unprecedented pride!  This illness has proven that women are strong and very resilient beings.  Maybe more so than ever being given credit for!

 

To all of the women out there who are fighting Breast Cancer – I salute you!  To all of those who have taken affirmative action like my loved ones did….I commend you for your incredible bravery!  I tear up every time I think of you all.

If I could, I would send every woman with breast cancer (or the risk of) a token of my heartfelt emotions and ensure that this token would serve as a reminder that Women Are Fighters! We are all stronger than we think and as long as we put our minds to it, we can survive anything!  This would be the token I would send too…I would most definitely choose one of these personalized breast cancer ornaments…

If you have someone in your life who has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, has survived  Breast Cancer or who simply puts extra time and effort in to spread awareness that we need a cure for Breast Cancer… this might be a great token for them too!

*Now I can’t possibly send these to everyone myself, but they are incredibly well priced and I think everyone should have one! These breast cancer awareness ornaments can hang on a bed post (seen every day) or come out on Christmas only.  It doesn’t matter.  (They don’t need to say survivor either – they can say AWARE if you like).

The point is, something like this would serve as a great reminder of the threat Breast Cancer poses to all women everywhere.  It is also just one more way for  us to AFFIRM that we as a society will do everything we can to BEAT Breast Cancer!

 

Sincerely, Cijaye DePradine
