A Car Named Sally - and Breast Cancer Awareness

It's a busy week for me. Barely time to catch my breath! Everybody I run into this week seems to be experiencing the same thing right now. One thing I often remind myself is to be grateful. Grateful for good health and the ability to actually do all that I do. For most of us, there is so much to be grateful for.

One of our WomenCorp lifestyle authors, Jody DeVere, is a great example to us in how to balance family and career obligations, as well as service to others. Her most recent article in the WomenCorp magazine, in recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, profiles the limited edition 2008 Pink Warrior Mustang. A portion of the sale proceeds of these cars goes to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Since we women are generally the ones to battle breast cancer (there actually are some men), please read this article, and then make me two promises.

(1) Do something special for another woman this week in honor of all the women who are battling breast cancer or who lost their battle with breast cancer, and,

(2) Adopt the gratitude mindset and thank someone you have never thanked before for the work they do, for the service they provide, or just for the kindness they show to you and to others. That "thank you" will go a long ways and you can bet that person will feel great and pass those good feelings along.

That's all for now. Hope you all have a fantastic day!
