A few weeks ago I mentioned that A Charming Exchange was going to be hosting an auction with proceeds from the sale going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. One of the co-authors of the book A Charming Exchange (Kelly Snelling and Ruth Rae), Kelly Snelling is a fellow breast cancer survivor. The book is wonderful...I love looking at each piece over and over. Please take a moment to check the link to A Charming Exchange which will link you to the ebay auction. Unique jewelry created in collaboration with others. For a good cause. But please, don't outbid me!!! I've already lost out on two pieces!!!

Today is officially Thanksgiving here in Canada. I have much to be thankful for - my life, my health, the lessons I have learned through having breast cancer.
My friend Daria shared this video on her blog yesterday and I knew after watching it that I must share it here. It is 7 minutes, almost 8 in length, and well worth watching. Please take the time to watch this moving video. It is truth, it is poignant, and it is magnificent.

I'm always blown away by all of the different ways art speaks to me. Blown away. There is so much talent out there.

Wiping away the tears - this was very moving , emotional but gave out the word HOPE !!
Happy Thanksgiving! I have lost a number of people from it. And my niece and her son are the only survivors. I makes me wonder why so many. With my dad it was asbestos exposure. At ford he had to wear gloves lined in it. I am so glad you are ok now too.
My puter is playing up so I will have to revisit the video.
The jewelry is lovely, I bought my mum a book on royal jewels because she loves necklaces so much x
Well, I'm just about a day late, but I made it over! My, my, you are filled with positive energy!
