I'm such a slacker when it comes to this and totally blew it off. As you may or may not know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Kind of a subject that's close to the heart. My mom has been battling breast cancer for a couple of year now. She's currently in remission and has to go in every couple of months to make sure it hasn't grown or moved to lymph nodes. Usually I'm all about Thinking Pink in October, but I completely forgot this year as I just had so much going on. So, I'm unoficially dubbing November Think Pink month for me. Because my mom has breast cancer, I have a 50% greater chance of also getting it, which means I start with the mammogram fun next year at the tender age of 30. So, if you happen to see me this month wearing pink (which I'm hoping to do most of the month) I'm hoping it will be a reminder to you to do self breast exams on a regular basis and Think Pink for your own personal health!

Great reminder to us to take better care of ourselves! How is your mom doing? Thanks for your comment on my bloggie. (Although, I wish it was you putting that ticker on your blog.) We haven't really been telling too many people. Just makes it harder sometimes if something goes wrong.
