Lightbulb OCTOBER IS....

NOT ONLY MY BIRTHDAY MONTH,BUT SERIOUSLY....

NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

SORORS AND SISTERFRIENDS...

PLEASE CHECK YOURSELVES AND REMIND YOUR LOVED ONES TO CHECK THEMSELVES FOR LUMPS.

WE ARE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO HAVE LUMPS....I HAVE A COLLEAGUE WHO HAD A DOUBLE MASECTOMY A FEW YEARS AGO AND SHE WAS ONLY IN HER LATE 20'S.

CHECK, CHECK, AND RECHECK...EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!

I GUESS YOU ALL CAN TELL I WATCH ALOT OF LIFETIME...TELEVISION FOR WOMEN!

Good evening sorors and sisterfriends.

Thanks for the message AKA2D'91. I'm sure that this horrible disease has affected many of our families, if not some of us personally on this board. My mother has had a double mastectomy and an aunt a lumpectomy...so at the tender age of 32, I've already had two mammograms. Early detection is definitely the key!

October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Unfortunately, domestic violence has also affected many of our families, if not some of us personally on this board. Again, I have an aunt and a cousin who have suffered at the hands of insecure and downright cruel men! If only everyone could truly appreciate that "hands are for helping, not for hurting"...

Cultured Pearl:

Kudos for reminding us that October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. You are so right! Domestic violence affects all sorts of people from all walks of life. And it is not just a male-against-female act. I cannot stress this enough! Women abuse women, and men abuse men. Domestic violence is one of the issues I am most passionate about! It is saddening, frustrating, maddening to know just how common abuse is.

Peace Love and Progression

Hello Ladies,
Interesting that you all should mention that it is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Domestic Violence Awareness month. This past Saturday, my sorority and I volunteered at a Domestic Violence shelter called SafeHouse. We helped do some chores around the house as well as do some painting in a few of the rooms. We learned about the house and the things they provide for the women and men that come there. It made me feel sad that this happens to women and men. But at the same time, I was very glad that the women and men that were there, got to the house before something extremely terrible happened to them.
Also, my sorority and I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Ball the same evening. Of course, all proceeds went towards the research of finding a cure for breast cancer. It was a great event and I was so happy to see soooo many people attend
Just thought I'd share my weekend since it was related to the topic

Before I go: Happy (early) Birthday AKAD '91 God Bless You!

yes, october is breast cancer awareness month. i encourage everyone who is able, to participate in any walk/race for the cure, which are held nationwide, usually on the weekend. most events will have a bunch of literature on examining yourself (women and men), statistics, etc. please share this info w/others.
