The Heart and Soul of Breast Cancer Awareness {I Am Pink}

It’s October … leaves-changing, football-playing, sweater-wearing, autumn-arriving October.    I love it all!

But mixed in with all the harvest happenings and pigskin rivalries, October brings pink … a lot of pink.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.   This week, I am partnering with two of my favorite writers to bring you a new sort of breast cancer awareness series.   Insights from our lives and our experiences … and challenges from our hearts to yours.

Statistics say one in eight women will experience some sort of invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. {source}   One in eight.    In a room filled with women, it is unlikely that there will be single person present who has not been impacted by breast cancer.    It’s real … and for most of us, it’s a scary proposition.

We all want to do something … anything.   That’s why Brooke {www.brookemcglothlin.com}, Sarah {www.reallifeblog.net}, and I have teamed up this week to share with you our {I Am Pink} series.     And we want to invite you to share your {I Am Pink} story with us as well.

Here’s the schedule for the week:

Monday:  {I Am Pink} introductions here, at Brooke’s, and at Sarah’s.

Tuesday:  Teri Lynne

Wednesday:  Brooke

Thursday:  Sarah

Friday:  {I Am Pink} Linky hosted by Brooke.  Share your {I Am Pink} message with us!

This week is going to be awesome … so go, paint your toenails pink and join us in declaring {I Am Pink}.
