friends

Have you ever had the type of friend who loves you no matter what?  I am lucky to have such a friend.   Lori is going through alot in her life  her husband  has ALS.   Its funny how when I am with her my faults are funny and I am not insecure about them...she makes me feel good about them... Her days are filled with taking care of her husband and her children, yet in the midst of all this she asked me what she could give to my 4loveofpink.  She bought me enough gum for 20 baskets for the womens shelter! Even though this is a a difficult season in her life she is  always  there with a warm hug, a cup of coffee and laughter.   I am a better person because of Lori.......I look forward to many more years of friendship....

thoughts.....

I had a bone density scan done on Monday the appt was 45 minutes long.  When I broke my leg they were concerned about me having osteoporosis ....as I am 39 years old I was very upset.       I had to lay perfectly still on the table while the scanner went over my body... I never thought that at 39 years of age I would have to worry about this... twenty years from now ....OK  that I can accept.   I kept starring at the ceiling as the scanner went over me and sticking out from one of the ceiling tiles was a bright PINK ribbon.... it was meant to be.  I stopped thinking about me and started to focus on the women who have breast cancer and other women I am trying to help through  PINK.  These women are strong and I am truely amazed by them.....

Spring Donations....

 PINK or 4loveofpink is something I started to bring awareness to breast cancer and helping people in need at the same time- Donate a new unwrapped pink gift- drop off at Florentines in Kentwood ..I will be donating to Degage again....I would like to fill the baskets with spring items for the women......donate in memory or for someone you know with breast cancer.....

Thinking about our spring PINK drive.....

As I have been laying here with a broken leg I have been thinking of my spring PINK drive.  I would love for more restaurants to be involved with donation drop-offs. 

Comfort for me!!

I broke my leg one week after my last post!  I was taking my dog outside and I didnt see the ice.....down I went.  This was my first broken anything and then to top that off I had to have surgery on the broken bone...and of course it was my first surgery.   I do not like to be sick and layed up and this is going to be keeping me off my feet for quite awhile.  It has been very strange (in a good way) to have neighbors ,friends and family bringing me food and visting me!   I am more determined than ever to give out pink comfort baskets after I am all healed.

Degage

Amy, Doug, Megan,Bailey and I went to Degage last Tuesday night to drop off the baskets to the women.   Degage is amazing! We (minus Doug) were able to bring the baskets up to the women.  The women who run it are woderful,  they had goodies and pedicures set up for the women.  We were able to have our pictures taken with the women and the baskets!  I cannot wait to start the spring drive for PINK..  I have big plans for PINK next year.  I could not do it without each and everyone of you. THANKS

Degage and mittens

Today is the delivery day for Degage.  We will be bringing 30 baskets to the women there.  I also found five wonderful women to make mittens for PINK for next year.  They make them as a group.  I am excited about next year and I have big plans for PINK.  Have a great holiday...Kelly
