(Sorry this one’s blurry. . .it was already dark outside when I took this picture.) Enough talking, let’s take some action! So, if you’ve read my blog posts as of late, you know that I’ve committed to raising funds for breast cancer research and walking 60 miles as part of that effort. Even better, my best friend Lisa has committed to doing it with us as well even after I sent her a goofy video invite. It’s part of...

I have taken on an incredible challenge. On November 6-8th, I’ll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with me. It’s for an event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment...

So, as mentioned, I’m going to be raffling off this kit tomorrow as part of my fundraising efforts for The 3 Day .  I thought I would share a bit about the kit in case you are not already familiar with it.  (If you are familiar with it then you know that this kit was in very little supply with CK’s original order of 4000 being sold out in much less than 1 hour.) The kit contains everything you need to make an album for your 365...

Lisa called and thankfully she found the invite to be quite funny.  And, even better, she said yes to my whole-hearted request (name that song!).  She had actually had considered a different walk but that turned out not to work so well.  So, now, we embark on quite a journey.  We need to train and we need to do some fundraising.  I’ll start on the training next week as I have family arriving today from Florida.  As for the...

Lisa, my best friend, and I walk.  We’ve always done it.  Not that we walk to exercise- we walk to talk, to get away from others, just to be out.  Years and years ago, we stopped asking if the other one wanted to go for a walk.  We developed a signal. I wanted to include this signal in my invitation. . . which meant video.  And so, this invite was born.  I mailed it to her in hopes she didn’t have my husband (who hadn’t...

Two weeks ago tomorrow we left for vacation and in between posts here and there I hope to share our trip with you.  It really was quite a trip to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.  It ended a week ago Friday as we drove home from Dallas. As we were driving home from Dallas and talking about how it really isn’t that far away, I heard a commercial for The Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk benefiting the Susan G Komen Foundation.  I can’t...
