Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Well it is October and of course if it Breast Cancer Awareness Month and all things Pink.  A few weeks ago I watched a Sunday night football game with a friend (who thought he would never wear pink no matter how much he loved the TaTa's (see below)  but be assured I had him in pink within 7 days (yes I am that good, LOL.  I diegress back to the football game, all the players seemed to have on something pink.  I thought that was very AWARE of the NFL to encourage the players to wear pink in support of breast cancer. 

I did not want the month to past without me highlighting some really cool breast cancer campaign messages ( social marketing is something I enjoy seeing)  put out by the  American Cancer Society and the Komen Foundation.  Here we go;

Great Breast, Great Responsiblity ( my all time favoriate from a few years ago)

Save the TaTa's ( I actually do not like this one so much but it hits a target audience just not me)

I am the cure (sometimes my behavior can prevent disease by taking preventative measures and participating in screening)

Sabbath Lesson Really Sabbath School Lesson for Me

The week ending Friday, October 22nd the Sabbath School lesson was on Friendship highlighting the friendship of David and Jonathen (found in I Samuel 14 - 21).  It is an awesome story of friendship.  The lesson last week made the following statement that has stuck with me "true friendship is a completely voluntary relationship."  That is so simple but was profound to me.  Unlike family, I choose my friends, I choose to call, I choose to spend time with them , I want them in my life.  There was a time in my life where I felt I did not have True Friendship, I can say today God has given me true friendships that embodies John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Friday Night Dinner

It is a tradition in my family at Friday Night Dinner that we play Scrabble.  I am not the best player and can trully say I rarely win, I doubt I have won a game this year.  However thanks the Scrabble App that I added to my Iphone I won this Friday Night.  I decided to share a picture of the winning game!!!

OOoopppsss - I am long over do for a post!

A post is long over due.  I am trying to see what the highlights have been in the last few weeks.  The most memorable because it affects me everyday is that my Blackberry 8820 that I have had for years was laid to rest.  Unfortunately, it died before I got all of my information out of it.  You would think since I have had it so long and because my first 8820 was stolen that I would have backed it up, well I did not.  I was forced to rush (yes rush I cannot be without a phone) to AT&T on a Friday afternnon is buy the infamour Iphone, as  result I have become an instant APPLE lover!!!  I enjoyed my 8820 however I can see how the Iphone was made for the user.  I was impressed. 

I did not participate in the Triathalon on October 3rd that I had been training and planning for for months.  I went to pay for it and it had sold out.  I had never heard of a race selling out but it did.  However I went right ahead and paid for the opening Triathalon in June 2011 and my friend Joseph is going to particpate with me. I am excited about that.  It should be fun.  I am still running, biking and swimming.  I think I will give up swimming until February for now.  The hardest thing about working out is my HAIR.  yes my hair, not the torcher my knees take with running or the tightness in my thighs experience from biking but my HAIR.  My hair is not permed as you  know and when it get wet from sweat or water from the pool it is a a nice size bush.  It is braided now but that will change in a few days and I will have my favorite hair style of all, pressed as seen here.  This is really manageable and I think it is pretty on me.  The only glitch is I cannot sweat, which means I cannot work out as hard as I have been.  I will continue biking and do a ever so brisk walk/light run.  We shall see.  I have been praying that I would grow to love running.  It is happening slowly and I do not want to detour the growth. 

School is school.  When i think about it it saddens so I try not to so much.

Work is work. and I trully enjoy my job and as I say all the time I would do what I do for free!!!

I will try to do better about posting.  I am going to commit to once a week.  Let's see how I do!!
