Cancer Bonus 101 ~You Will Meet Cool People Along the Way
Other times, I am completely delighted when I meet people that come into my life for whatever length of time.
Lately, I have been meeting very cool people. I've met a cancer nutritionist , a 22 year ovarian cancer Survivor and President of the Ovarian Cancer Society of Arizona. I have met organic farmers,
a makeover specialist, the brains behind an amazing sponge that is literally changing my skin. I mean the list could go on. People are pulling together now more than ever.
The Inner Tough Girl Life After Cancer Events have taken on a whole new life within the last few months. We filed for our 501 c status, launched our website attracted a grant writer, event planners, and passionate people that just want to help in some way. Yes, of course, some things have not turned out as planned- that's to be expected. It's a growing process and if we are able to stay flexible in our thoughts, we might just get more than we ever dreamed possible.
In between all the excitement, I myself am still struggling with post cancer - but every time I feel down, an angel with a face appears and I remember everything is exactly how it needs to be for now- whatever the reason.
Our Board decided to hold off on the 'BIG' event, opting for a smaller, more informal event. It is a positive thing- we will have the opportunity to really get to know our Founding Members and learn how to support them the best way we can. We are walking before we are running and building the foundation for something that will take on a life of it's own and change hundreds of thousands of people throughout the years. That's 'Tough'.

We've even set up ways for you to support us by recycling your old electronics ~ Good for the environment, good for our pocketbook and good for your clutter control. We keep trying to think of ways to reach as many women affected by cancer as we possibly can. What's your suggestion? Think outside the lines box, lines and limitations!
In Health and Happiness,
A.
