It's October, there is a chill in the air, and I LOVE the anticipation of the crisp leaves and cool air on my cheeks....and I LOVE the fall colors...BUT, all of a sudden, OCTOBER pops up and all I can think about is the color PINK! For the past 3 years I've spent every October raising money and sprinkling PINK love around town, and I wouldn't trade it for all the pumpkins and crunchy fall leaves in the Appalachian Mountains! Breast Cancer is a killer that I want to say good bye to, I want my kids to find a new cause to fight for when they are my age! Breast Cancer took my grandmother from my life when I was only 2 years old. Breast Cancer lurks in the closet of every woman I know, who will face it next? My mother-in-law is a survivor, my aunt is a survivor, my friend is surviving. I love that word! As women the only way we can deal with this evil lurking is to have hope, strength, courage...we breathe, we pray, we believe in today - this day - right now! I'm blessed to be here, with you, and inspired by you. I got to have coffee with my mom and her friends this morning... survivors among them. Thank you Lord for my day today. 

Today I will be posting new original paintings to my etsy shop. 25% of all proceeds will be donated support my fundraising. I'm also running in the Race for the Cure on October 22, if you would like to make a direct donation to my team, you can click the link here. Thank you for helping me spread PINK love in October!
