Relay for Life online auction

Come and play...it is fun, it is easy, and there is great stuff!

Our WY Library Community Relay for Life team has an online auction going on to raise funds for our team and for the fight against cancer.

Please check it out, http://wyolibrelay.blogspot.com/. There are pictures of items on the first page, but to see all of it, look at the links on the right hand side. You can click on the label tags (for example fitness or Stacy) or scroll down and look at the titles of items.

You will find jewelry, food (salsa chili sauce), cooking and entertaining items; art (check out No. 144 vessel), spa items, tire rotation coupon, a walking kit (Cancer Sucks!), Mother's Day breakfast in bed, a sock knitting kit. Some items start at $2.00...so get in there and shop!

Give the gift of hope, of opportunity, of cure.

Thank you for supporting us. It is so important. I know that I appreciate it....and I know that my life depends on these dollars and the research and education they support.

Hooray for OPI!

I was flipping through a magazine while on vacation and for the first time...there was a product that is helping get the word out about lung cancer. Amazing! You can see the ad on the OPI site, http://opi.com/ . There is an link at the bottom of the home page.

I looked it up this morning, and here is the scoop:
1) OPI made an initial donation to LCFA (Lung Cancer Foundation of America) and is helping with the AWARENESS about Lung Cancer. The Foundation does not receive profits from the sales of the nail polish bottles.
2) The OPI National Campaign BREATHE LIFE is priceless and the very first corporate endorsement for lung cancer. Every step begins with a first and we are hopeful others will follow.

So, even though your purchase of the polish will not result in dollars it will result in awareness...which will lead to education...which will lead to dollars for research....which will lead to a cure.

Hints of spring

ahhhh. It seems that we are finally seeing more of spring than winter. I know, I know! How long have I lived in Wyoming?!

I had written in an earlier post about being a possibilitarian. ("Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they're always there." Norman Vincent Peale in The Power of Positive Thinking) When I was in Casper recently, my aunt Char gave me a shirt she had made with POSSIBILITARIAN on it! How cool is that?!

I have to share with you all-acupuncture is working for me! I am so excited. She (Stacey Gruber) sees me right before chemo and then the following Tuesday. Having it right before (and that Dr. Kanard has increased the infusion time) has resulted in a much better day. I seem to be recovering faster, too. Felt better by Tuesday morning rather than sometime on Thursday. Yahoo!

Happy weekend!
