Greetings!
 When I was going through my breast cancer treatment, I kept visualizing the trip my family and I would take years later to Africa. We spent most of the month of July in Southern Africa, learning about the continent, culture, animals and history of mankind. But, visualizing this trip was vital in obtaining a successful survivorship. It provided hope, where I felt there was none, and a dream for a wonderful family experience. As Dave Balch, founder of the Patient/ Patner Project states "look forward to something," dreaming can provide a vital link to a healthy and fulfilling future after cancer treatment. Your dream might not be traveling to Africa, but even knowing that a trip to the beach is in your future, might help get through the dreary days of chemo. If you're interested, you can look at some of my photos from our amazing African adventure by clicking here. I hope you have a great August and are feeling well. Remember, be a dreamer!

A new online company was launched last week that combines shopping and
supporting your favorite charity at the same time. With its chic and fun
graphics, and variety of quality products from jewelry to clothing to house
wares, shoppers feel they are in an upscale boutique in the trendiest part of
town. With retailers such as Gap, The Body Shop, Philosophy, Karen Neuburger,
Chantal, Bed Head Pajamas (just to name a few), finding something for yourself
or unique gift for someone else has never been this much fun.
