Show your support in a lovely way!

Several breast cancer survivors or family members of survivors stopped by my booth at the Mandarin Craft Festival on Saturday, October 16, 2010.

My heart was uplifted when I heard one woman tell of how her sister - who had just undergone a double mastectomy - had put off going to the doctor because she was uninsured. The Susan Komen Foundation not only made it possible for her to have the lifesaving surgery she needed, but offered her lots of additional support in other ways.

Whenever I do a show, I sell pink ribbon items to raise funds for this amazing and wonderful organization, donating half my profit on these items to breast cancer research.

I hope one day we'll have a cure for this wicked disease that robs us of so many fantastic women. Until then, I'll keep trying to do my small part to lend a helping hand to my brave sisters.
