Thanks, Mom!
I asked my mom for note paper this Christmas. Just something simple for jotting down all the stuff I’m always scribbling (lists are my life, they’re the only way I stay sane). And like always, my sweet momma delivered. She didn’t just grab a few boring pads of paper, though. Nope. She found the inspirational stuff that makes me motivated to live like it matters — you know, to be a good mom and wife, help others, run a half marathon, eat healthy (after the holidays, I promise!), take risks, kick cancer’s butt, that kind of stuff.
And here sits my stack of stationery, right next to me on my desk, reminding me to hope, dare and dream. Oh, and she threw in a cute pad with apples on it (another reminder I need to get a grip on my nutritious ways, maybe?), and two pretty personalized pads, too.
I got a lot of great gear for Christmas this year — a hot pink sports bra and running shorts for those 13.1 miles, yummy body lotions, delicious candles, a trendy little vest for chilly Florida days, a mom-made scarf and more. The paper: A definite favorite.
Thanks, mom, for everything — you know me so well.
Thank you for writing this blog. This week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my mind is a mess. I have been researching ever since to learn more. Your blog has been so very helpful to me. Thank you! What really grabbed me is I also asked for a notebook from my Mom for Christmas. What I received was a journal from Mom, and pink note pads and inspirational and informative books from my lovely 18 year old daughter who is home from college.
Thank you again for helping my journey more informative and inspirational!

Louise,

Wow! What a wonderful and helpful blog! I recently celebrated my 5 year anniversary!
I wanted to let you know how I am paying it forward for women embarking on this journey. I wrote a book called, Treat Her Like a Princess, How to Help Your Girlfriend with Breast Cancer. I hope that it will inspire those around “the Princess” to lift her up and celebrate the wonderful person that she is.
Keep up the great work.
My bests,
Denise
