Welcome to LuvYourGirls!
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." ~Maya Angelou
Each day we live our lives without really taking the time to notice the beauty which surrounds us. Remember, every day is a gift. Cherish it, use it wisely, make every second count. When your memory wanders into yesterday, let it be full of wonderful memories.
LuvYourGirls.com is a website which was created originally to give me peace and help me through my oddessy of cancer. By sharing my story with others, it helped others share their stories, which in turn helped them heal.
When I was in the "Gray Box" (the infusion room), I remember the sadness in people's eyes, and their colorless skin. The walls were stark white. The only color was the orange toxic liquid concoction which was dripping into my arm.
It was during those gray box days that I decided, I would paint pictures of vibrant colors to wash away the gray, to share those colors with others, to help them get through their gray box days.
LuvYourGirls is all about supporting and being there for each other.
Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer? Do your breast exams regularly. Feel'em Touch'em Check'em, They're YourGirls. Keep Doing It. Get all your girl friends to do it. Healthy Girls are Happy Girls.
If breast cancer is found in the early stages, it is very treatable.
- Gone are the dark ages when women had no networks
- Gone are the days when little information was known about breast cancer
- Gone are the days when you thought the doctors should know everything that was right for you. You have to get involved, be proactive in your cancer journey
Fortunately for our girls,the medical field has come along way in their research, knowledge and treatment on breast cancer. Today, doctors can use less radical procedures in early stages instead of automatically telling us that we have to lose our girls to a masectomy. We are so fortunate to have so many resources available to us, take advantage and empower yourself.
Although the networks, resources and awareness are there, we need to keep the movement going so one day breast cancer will be something of the past.
Whatever slang words you call them, speed bumps, boobs, melons, tatas, bubbles, they are your girls. Your girls can make you feel sexy. Your girls can give you confidence. Your girls deserve the best care, keep them healthy.
We can't do this movement without you. Get your friends to join. Get your family to join. Get your workplace to join in this movement.
Think about putting a fundraisers together to help support the research for finding a cure for breast cancer. If you need ideas contact us. Let us be there for our sisters, mothers, daughters, and granddaughters by sharing knowledge and empowering ourselves with all the options possible.
