The Power of Positive Pinking
|
Greetings!
Welcome June! Now that school is almost out, I'm looking forward to a more peaceful and relaxing summer. My daughter just graduated from High School and is looking forward to starting a new school in a new city. I, on the other hand, am feeling sad about her impending departure, and am trying to fit in all I can with her during the remaining months she's at home. But, at the end of every day, I feel happy for her new life and the blessings I have in mine. Feel good!

I had
always heard bad things came in threes, and the day I found out I had breast
cancer I was sure it was true. It had
certainly become the worst year of my life.
After going through a rough divorce and a bad couple of years, I thought
my world had turned around when I met and married Steve. Life was finally going well, and we were planning
an open house at our new home to celebrate our few months old marriage when my
world caved in.

"Yes, I can make a difference"
You are invited to share how you make a difference in the world or how
someone has made a difference for your healing quest. We each make a difference,
every single one of us, and each caring act is no less important than any other.
The more we acknowledge how we make a difference, the more we bring awareness
how we each help each other within our communities, within our environment, and
within our world. Awareness is a vital key to moving forward to build a world
without breast cancer. Please feel to submit your own experiences and invite others to submit
their experiences.

Too Tired? The Importance of Sleep for Weight Control and Health
by Janice Baker, Pink-Link expert nutritionist
In my nutrition
consultation and therapy practice, one of the first questions I ask all of my
clients is: "how is your sleep?" This
may sound like an odd question coming from a registered dietitian, but more and
more reasons to consider the effects of poor quality or lack of sleep are
popping up all the time!
