Difficult Days

I walk because I can.
I walk because she is gone.
Today was one of those tough days and I miss her. It was good to remember thoughts about her, she would of wanted me to remember her... but I know she wouldn't want me to hurt.
If you read this and you have lost someone you love to breast cancer, please support me in the 3-Day.

Silpada Fundraiser

My friend Michele,is hosting a Silpada online/book party in order to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for a Cure. All of the free jewelry that is earned through your purchases will be used in a Chinese Auction at the 2nd Annual Rack 'N Roll Benefit on June 25th to raise additional donations. In addition, the Silpada Representative, Corinne Kaufmann will be donating all of the profits from the party in honor of her cousin Jenn who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

So girls, now's the time to treat yourself or someone else to some beautiful, handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry with the excuse that it is going to a great cause! Please feel free to share this invitation with a friend... or two!

If a friend would like to order online, they can visit www.mysilpada.com/corinne.kaufmann, search for Michele Natwora's party and add their name to the order.

Hostess: Michele Natwora

This will be Michele's 3rd 3-Day walk. When Abby was diagnosed Michele asked me what can I do to help? The only thing I could think of is to ask her to walk with me.... Every step of the way she has supported me and worked to raise money for the CURE of breast cancer even while getting her Masters Degree and raising 2 amazing teenagers! (one who may attend college near me!)

National running day

Yesterday, after months of waking up gripping my back to walk I had my left SI joint injected. On the positive side, I feel better and now I can actually coach kids on what it feels like. Most importantly I survived.

I was thrilled to wake up and not feel that needle pain and begin my day straight up. I did a quick walk with some intermittent running! This may not impress many but to me I am empowered... Seriously, I ran in intervals~ BUT I RAN! I will not win a race but I have confidence on National running day that I did it!

In my heart I wish I was a runner... I am not quite there. But setting little goals to at least have fun with some ladies... (more to come with that) You have to be a dirty girl to understand!

I think a beautiful day, a brisk walk with some trotting in between inspired me to work on the benefit and make some progress. My study is beginning to look a lot like a benefit!

My thought for the day.... you know you are a walker when you dream of a world without breast cancer and believe in your heart it will happen one day.

Namaste!
