"To learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to act is really not to know." ~ Stephen R. Covey
Three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I can tell you there is nothing quite like the sheer terror of tottering on the edge of a deep yawning abyss and peering down with wide stricken eyes.
I am new to Sharon's magnificent blog. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This whole post is about awareness, written with such sensitivity and clarity it needs to be read by as many as possible. I was moved beyond words..
Love Sharon, so glad you’ve found her.
She is wonderful!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! What beautiful words.
It felt like a gift when I read it – all the credit to Sharon for writing such a moving, gorgeous post..:-)
What a wonderful way to acknowledge and support Breast Cancer month. I am always in awe of women/men who embrace what they need to do and do it in the face of monsters(cancers). Kudos to your friend and thank you for sharing her story. It’s pretty gloomy here today, but as always, the day is made brighter with the lessons learned while waiting for the karma truck. Love you xoxxoxo
Good morning Jo – rainy day here too..I too was blown away by the beauty of these words and the heartfelt, genuine lessons that were provided. I don’t know the author of this blog (I just ‘met’ her yesterday), though I feel she is without a doubt someone with incredible sensibility and grace. I’m glad you liked it too…smile honey..love you..xoxo

My dear Mimi, today I wandered over to your blog to say hello and I somehow came back with an armload of blessings. Clearly the Karma Truck awaits those who enter here. Thank you so much for the reblog and even more so for your special kindness and largeness of heart which touched me very deeply…Sharon
