Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Co-workers of mine are often sending around links to different Ted Talks. While I was watching one on design I saw a link of this video.

I think that this was an interesting video (minus the long ad at the end). An interesting perspective.

I shared this with my mom, who survived this gift, just in a different form. I had a feeling that she could relate. I know she looks at things differently, I imagine I would too. While Stacey says she ‘wouldn’t change her experience’ because it made her outlook positively change, I have a feeling that a lot of people would rather not have this gift, but just learn to embrace life differently. But then again, I have not been so gifted.

Anyone else who has had this gift, or something like it, have an opinion on this video? Can you relate to Stacey? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

As much as I LOVE the summer I am really starting to come around to early fall. October is when the leaves are changing into beautiful bright colors, cider is available everywhere, cider donuts are in season and their sweet, sugar flavors have me hooked, and it’s when I get a little crazy buying a lot of pairs of tights. But besides that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While I think all those walks are kinda pointless- don’t waste money on crews to clean up your discarded water cups, but just donate $$$ directly to the cause- I strongly believe that there are special days and months to remember things that make you happy or helping others behappy. So remember October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Cookie Month. And don’t forget all these daily weird/fun/wacky celebrations…
