Support Breast Cancer Awareness

Last month I mentioned my youngest sister is fighting breast cancer. She caught it just in time before it spread. She had her lumpectomy last Monday and has found out that she will be starting chemo in the next few weeks. So, please add her to your prayer list. She needs the strength to carry on - working full time and taking care of 5 kids really wears you out.


I have found a cute "Awareness Ribbon" for anyone to insert in the signature line of their emails. With the filter system and work, and the limits of Blogger, I cannot show it to you, but I can tell you how to get it. It is actually a Microsoft font. Open Word, choose webdings as your font--then click on the toolbar to insert a symbol--you will find it. Insert it into your document, then highlight, copy and paste it into your signature line. The color is black, but if you highlight it, you can make it any color you want: pink - breast cancer, purple - pancreatic cancer, yellow - leukemia, red - AIDS, and I know there are lots of other colors and diseases that effect everyone. So, show your support and help spread the awareness.

I know this seems like a lot of work, but spreading the word might help save lives!!!!

Did you know that Google has a desktop tool bar??? Well, it is kind of cool. You can have the weather, a slide show of your My Pictures, and lots of other things to choose from all on your desktop. You can actually have a Self Exam alarm on your desktop, to remind you when it is time to conduct your next self exam. This is for male and females!!! Remember 5% of breast cancer diagnosis are men!!!

Ok, that is my PSA for the day!!!

Toodles,
Chelley
