A day in the pink.

Today was spent in the company of remarkable individuals of strength and character. The Phoenix affiliate of Susan G. Komen has asked me to become a Community Outreach Ambassador. In order to behold such a honor, I must train to learn what is required of such title.

Our little meeting room was filled with women of great conviction whom are fighting passionately to find a cure for breast cancer. Many of the women warriors are breast cancers survivors who had been told they’ve only months to live several years ago. Others fight on the behalf of loved ones lost or those struggling against their disease at this very moment.

The stories that were shared with me today provide an unshakable sense of perspective, appreciation, admiration and hope.

I am fortunate to say that my family is filled with remarkable women. My grandmother is one, that survives breast cancer and now councils others that battle this disease. My dear cousin Cheryl and Aunt Dottie have lost their mortal fight. However, their spirit lives on to fight by way of their children, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
