Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey Y'all!

I hope this post finds you having a great Thursday. It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I wanted to help raise awareness and pass on important links.

It's so important that you do monthly breast exams, in addition to, an annual mammogram. If you need help locating a Mammography Center, click here.

For more information about Breast Cancer, here are several sites with a wealth of information:

~ National Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Click

~ Susan G. Komen for the Cure - Click


"The National Breast Cancer Foundation estimates that each year, over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and over 40,000 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 1,700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year".

Click to Give at The Breast Cancer Site. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to help fund free mammograms for women in need. All you have to do is click daily and sponsors pay for the mammograms. It's that easy. Take a moment to visit their site and 'Click to Give' today!

Thank you for taking the time to become more aware of Breast Cancer. We owe it to every woman in our lives, including ourselves! I pray that a cure is found for this horrible disease.

Thanks for stopping by y'all and have a great day!

No Laughing Matter

Hey Y'all!!

I hope this post finds you doing well. This post was born from something I have to do every year. The dreaded mammogram! Now, don't get me wrong. It is a fact that mammograms are needed for early detection of breast cancer and our "girls" need all the help they can get!


According to BreastCancer.org - "Mammograms are probably the most important tool doctors have not only to screen for breast cancer, but also to diagnose, evaluate, and follow people who’ve had breast cancer. Safe and reasonably accurate, a mammogram is an x-ray photograph of the breast. The technique has been in use for about 40 years". So ladies, please make your appointment today if it is time or if you have discovered a lump or abnormality from a self examination.

On a lighter note, I leave you with this thought. In a perfect world, men would have to undergo this procedure, below the belt. I'm just saying! Some may take offense that I am taking it lightly and I apologize. I grew up in a very humorous household, Mom with her southern wit and Dad with his dry, but funny, one liners. I am a definite mixture of both. We tend to handle difficult situations with a little humor. As the saying goes, "Life is short so eat dessert first"!

Thanks for stopping by y'all and have a great day!
