Reminder, It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Please do not forget that this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is important to click the pink dot on the left side of this blog everyday or every visit, but it is so much more important to remind yourself and those you love, to do the self-exams.

This little reminder is brought to you today in loving memory of my mama, who lost her life to inflamatory breast cancer on October 22, 2004. May God grant someone the wisdom and knowledge to find a cure for this horrible disease.

Sincerely,
Butterflies against Breast Cancer!
