Thinking Pink this Week

There are many things that are special to me about this week. For starters, my sweet mama would have been 60 tomorrow. It seems so wild that she's been gone for what feels like so long a time, and yet, she really wouldn't be that "old" tomorrow. I usually celebrate her birthday doing something she would have done...like going out for a delicious dessert and not caring how many calories it would add to my hips. Or spending the weekend at the beach with my family and taking a long walk to look for shells. Or simply listening to some Van Morrison or Alison Krauss. Something that she would have loved to do, especially for her 60th birthday. Truth be told, if she were here, I'm sure it would have been far grander than any of those things. We would probably be in Paris right now! Ahhh...that would be nice.

None, the less, there are so many reasons to celebrate this week! It's the last week of October, which means the last week of Breast Cancer Awareness month. If you have any pink ribbon at home, or even a pink scarf, tie it on to your purse, to make a fun statement this week. Or challenge yourself to wear a little pink every day this week. It still speaks loudly, even if it's your own silent stance against the war so many beautiful women fight. Last year, after I wrote this, one of my sweet friends gave me this T-shirt, and I will probably wear it more than once this week.

This weekend, I have two events, and that's not including Halloween on Sunday! I can't wait to tell you all about them. I already gave you a sneak peek of one of these, and it will be the perfect way to get ready for Halloween. Speaking of, I'm sure we'll all be rushing around to get in all our trick or treating.

But, with all the hustle and bustle, don't forget about gearing up for Something to Celebrate next Monday! I can't wait for National Blog Posting Month to begin next Monday, and to start our fun series! There will be a great giveaway next Monday, so make sure you don't forget! Grab a button, and stick it on your sidebar, and get an extra entry! Just copy the code to your right and paste away! I truly cannot wait to celebrate with you.
