Monday Motivation - Weekly Moment of Gratitude!





What I am grateful for:


Blogaholic Designs”=
Show Your Support-Grab A Badge!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - NEGATIVE! -  I have never been happier to 'fail' a test! As promised, in continuation of my "Breast Cancer Awareness Month: My First Mammogram!" post, I got the results in the mail and everything is just fine! I've had the test on my mind since I took it, and when that envelope finally arrived I tore into it so fast you would have thought it was a publisher's clearing house sweepstakes envelope containing a big fat check! With all the medical stuff I have had to deal with this year it was such a relief to get good news from the lab and hospital for once! In fact I am attending a special lunch in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Breast Cancer Survivors today, it's going to be an amazing way to start my week and totally keep me focused on the things in life that are really important. Without our health, we can't enjoy the gifts the universe is trying to send our way! Celebrate the survivors in your life by taking them out to lunch or dinner and creating a wonderful memory! In the end wonderful memories is really all we take with us! The Blogaholic Network has some awesome Breast Cancer Awareness Badges that you can use on your site with different neat designs. I loved the one above, that's actually a perfect mantra to say to yourself each and every single day even if you are not sick! Make your daily affirmation: 'Today I am NOT just Surviving, I am Thriving!"

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - YOU! - I just wanted to thank everyone again for your votes of support in conjunction with my entry for The Big Reboot. For those of you who also took the extra step of tweeting and doing facebook shares, thank you, thank you, Thank YOU! I really appreciated seeing those notes of support. I am definitely preparing for a 're-boot' for the coming new year in so many ways, winning this one would help put me on the right path to start!



Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - A little me time and the word 'NO!' - I had to use the word NO to things that were not a good use of my time in order to carve out a window of absolute 'nothing' that I got to fill however I wanted to. As that's totally rare for me, I really enjoyed it! I think it put me in a better place to start my week! Just remember, people can't use you if you don't let them. Don't be afraid to say NO, and mean it!




What are YOU most grateful for this week Butterfly? What will you do to get this week off to a good start?

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: My First Mammogram!





I recently posted about the P&G GIVE Hope Do It For the Girls Day of Action in conjunction with the #GIVEHope Campaign, where I participated live in a celebrity hosted twitter party that was hosted by E! News Anchor, Fashion Police Co-Host, Breast Cancer Survivor and New Mom Giuliana Rancic! If you missed that post, check it out HERE! The photo above is myself and a roundtable of bloggers that were invited to participate in a special roundtable and twitter party about Breast Cancer Awareness. (Ascending Butterfly is second from the left, Center is Giuliana Rancic and far right is Allison Maxwell, a P&G employee and the youngest survivor on the panel).

Last month I had my doctor give me a referral for my first ever Mammogram. but I got super busy and never went. I had to see my primary today for a routine check up and flu shot, and he was none to happy I let my referral lapse. His office was super pro-active and got me a SAME DAY appointment to get my first ever Mammogram done at the only Hospital in Manhattan to acquire the new ImageChecker Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system for use in breast cancer screening to assist radiologists in minimizing false negative readings during mammograms.

Because of the Medical Nightmare of a year I have already been contending with, to say I was 'nervous' is probably a HUGE understatement!

But from reception to the technician everything went really smoothly. And while I'm being pitched right now by every brand under the sun who slapped 'pink' on something and want you buy it, I thought the best way to truly inspire anyone is to be open, honest and truly up front about my own experience.




Giuliana was my inspiration to follow through, she is young and she discovered a tumor during a mammogram while undergoing another round of in-vitro fertilization in an effort to get pregnant. And even though I didn't want to deal with anymore imaging this year after all the tests I have been subjected to, her story, and then meeting in her person where she shared her story and allowed us all to ask her questions, any questions, and was so open and honest, her courage pushed me to move forward and stop putting it off.

I won't have the results for a few days, but I wasn't asked to wait which I take as a good sign, and it wasn't as horrible an experience as others had led me to believe. Is it fun? No, it's a bit uncomfortable, especially if you are well-endowed like I am, think of the pressure a bit like the blood pressure cuff they place on your arm when taking your vitals, except the pressure is being applied to an area a lot more sensitve to the pressure!

My technician was very patient and really did care enough to make sure I knew what to expect and felt comfortable every step of the way.

After getting the chance to interview survivors like Giuliana Rancic, Janelle Hail, chief executive officer and founder National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., and Allison Maxwell, breast cancer survivor and P&G employee (who was actually the youngest survivor on the panel that day) they made it clear that Breast Cancer does NOT discriminate. Youth does not protect you, neither does no family history of the disease, so ladies please do your self exams monthly, make sure your primary is doing an exam even if you are, and be PRO-ACTIVE and ASK your Doctor about when you should have your first exam. While normally the first one is scheduled for women 40 and over, if there is history in your family, if you find a lump you will need to have one sooner. Your survival rate increases with early detection, so ladies, do it for 'The Girls' AND do it for YOU!

The winner of this giveaway is 'racergirl1313'  Congratulations! Remember: There are great giveaways active on the upper right hand side of the page Where it reads “Today’s Butterfly! Win Here’!

As I'm sure you know by now this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a month that is dedicated to bringing attention to early detection and prevention.

'The Big C' (and I don't mean the cable TV show) has definitely affected my family and as a result I'm a strong believer in the saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

While there are a variety of factors that contribute to Breast Cancer, including environmental, hormones, genetics and more, one thing that is most important to a healthy outcome is early detection. Early detection gives you the most treatment options as well as the greatest chance at survival and remission!

It seems like the entire planet is washed in pink this month, pink has seemingly become the official color of Breast Cancer Awareness!

Have you given yourself a 'self examination' this month? I found a very thorough article on ehow which is a must read concerning the proper way to conduct a self-exam!

As you know this month offers those fabulous 'Shop-a-tunities' to get something great for you, and do something great for the cause too! We love featuring companies that give back! Especially one whose products we totally adore!



In honor of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Satya Jewelry is proud to partner with The Young Survival Coalition (YSC). A percentage of sales from the 'sweetness in your life locket necklace' will be donated to the YSC during the month of October. Young Survival Coalition (YSC) is the premier international organization dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women and breast cancer. YSC works with survivors and caregivers; as well as the medical, research, advocacy and legislative communities to increase the quality and quantity of life for women diagnosed with breast cancer ages 40 and under. For more information about the YSC visit http://www.youngsurvival.org

While you are thinking pink, take a look at the great assortment of Pretty Pink jewelry you can purchase at Satya! And of course I have to mention that they have a lovely assortment of butterfly jewelry too! Like their '18kt gold plated eb mini butterfly earrings' (style#: eg154) and it's matching Necklace (style#: ng401_l18) The Satya Foundation donates 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these items to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation, aiming to find a cure for a rare childhood skin disease. For More information on the foundation please visit www.ebkids.org
 
We have worked with Satya in the past and are always amazed with the quality and of course overall WOW factor of their jewelry! But the fact that they are always giving back is why they will always have a place in my heart.  I firmly beleive that when you bless others you will always be blessed yourself. They don't just promote gemstone jewelry with a zen aesthetic, they very much practice what they preach. They have a quote right now on their website from Ghandi that reads 'Be the change you wish to see in this world' and I feel they embody that message perfectly.
 
Lately life for me has been extremely busy and somewhat chaotic, and when I opened the mailbox to find Satya's 'cherry quartz harmony bracelet' inside I was extremely excited!  The  7.5" bracelet made of  pink faceted beads of cherry quartz bring your mind, body and emotions into balance. A sterling silver cut-out om charm represents the sacred sound of the universe also bringing inner peace and harmony. Wear this bracelet to bring your life into the balance it deserves! I put it on right away and headed to my meditation altar with it! I will say looking at it made me smile, and when I am not meditating with it, I actually leave it out on my meditation altar and greatly enjoy seeing it everyday!
 
 
 
I placed it on top of a red pyramid I have on my meditation table and it just looks striking against it! And somehow looks to me like it's always been there, and definitely belongs there! I have a feeling my jewelry box won't see this one!

I perceive it as a visual reminder, to love and take care of my body and my health, the importance of prevention and because of the Om symbol, also as a reminder to take moments of deep breathing and stillness DAILY. Very much fitting with our daily breathing affirmational messages! You know I had to incorporate a butterfly into the picture somehow!
