the "10 ~ 4" on just checking!

if you have been following me for

for over a month, you may have noticed my

"just checking, because i LOVE you", pink posts.
today's post is a little bigger, in honor of 
~Breast Cancer Awareness Month~

tomorrow i will be celebrating one year blogging
about dreams and life here on 34th street.

 i am loving my journey and feel blessed to have met
so many wonderful friends along the way.

i remind you to check each month because i am a
breast cancer survivor.

there was no history of this disease in my family.
i implore you to check your family history and follow the guidelines.

i had a baseline mammogram at age 40.

the doctor was watching a
radial scar on the left side for NINE years...
one day in August 2009 she spied a tiny change.

Stage one. 
 two small surgeries to 
assure the margins.
no lymph node involvement.
no chemo.
about 6 weeks radiation.
i still have both girls! 
 they don't even say remission
any more...the say
CURED!

some people may think

~here~

that this pink stuff is overdone.
but, the awareness has saved lives.

before two years ago, i associated the color pink

with my bubble gum years and Elle Woods !

this is how i view the color PINK and the
beautiful ribbon today.

i will keep collecting the prettiest pink images 
to share once a month!
because i LOVE you all
 and i LOVE my life here on 34th Street.
