Today is a special Pink Celebration…We are celebrating bravery and miracles in our lives and in the lives of those who are battling Cancer. Please join this special Saturday by visiting Kelee at http://www.katillacshack.com/ for an amazing day as Guideposts Magazine reveals a special healing room created for a special lady.
I just celebrated my birthday with an annual tradition that some might find unusual…I’m giving myself my yearly mammogram…well, not on my actual birthday, but I make sure it’s at least scheduled by my birthday. I consider it a wonderful gift to myself…we are so fortunate to live in a time when early detection is saving so many lives.
A couple of years ago one of my Flickr groups made Itty Bitty Books to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this was my page…I don’t have the book any more; I sent it to Gilda who is one of the millions of American women who have survived Breast Cancer.
That was then… this is now…2010 and Gilda is Cancer Free and raising my smart, cute, loving grandson. We have all been blessed by her miracle.
I celebrate my birthday with my official birthday sponsor , The American Cancer Society who has made more birthdays possible for more people than any of us realize. You can make them your official birthday sponsor…check it out at

Then stop by Beverly’s house to see who else is joining us for Pink Saturday …How Sweet The Sound … It’s sure to be a great day for a visit. Grab a tissue, we’re going to be celebrating Miracles among us. LaVerne

A different way to celebrate your birthday, but a good way. I trust all your results turn out in the pink. Take care.
Great post and a good reminder to all of us. Happy Birthday.
What a sweet Pink Saturday blog post! Sadly, every Saturday for the past few weeks it has been raining in northern Michigan. So, this day always brings a little sunshine my way. Thanks so much for the treat!

Happy Pink Saturday, LaVerne. Thank you for making Pink Saturday special, and for taking part in this day of celebration and thanks.
There truly are miracles going on all around us every day. We just have to open our hearts in acceptance.
I hope your post inspires everyone to seek their annual mammogram. It has saved many lives, and those lives are celebrating birthdays, too. I celebrate Gilda's miracle with you, and with your smart, cute, loving grandson. I have one of those, too.
Wonderful reminder for us, I had mine done this past week. Have a fantastic birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Have a wonderful day! Be sure to visit my blog for a great giveaway!
