I’m Sara from Mom Endeavors and I’m thrilled to be participating in Laura’s awesome 31 Days of Pink series for the 2nd year in a row! I have never really been a “pink” person and have 3 little boys. So pink is understandably rather absent from our house. But, this spring, I did find some pink absolutely breathtaking…
Tulips are my favorite! This was taken while at the SNAP Conference in Utah this past spring. Look at all of those shades of pink!! So beautiful! Springtime is such a reminder of the life that comes after the dark, dreary winter. And, in a symbolic way, it’s what I wish for all of those going through a breast cancer fight. I want new life to come. For flowers to bloom after a dark, difficult cancer fight.
Recently, I was at another conference with Laura (Bloggy Boot Camp), where we heard from a breast cancer survivor as part of the Ford Warriors in Pink. She was just 2 years older than me when she was diagnosed. A lump just below her collar bone (by the way, did you know that your breast tissue goes all the way up to your collar bone and extends all the way down & over to under your armpit?!). It was both sobering and inspiring to here her story. And, it was a good reminder for me that it can happen at any age; that I need to be doing my monthly checks; that I need to advocate for myself to get the recommended base-line mammogram at 35 (even though many doctors claim it’s not necessary).
So, this month, I’m extra thankful for the color pink! 🙂
