Blessed ...

I am blessed beyond measure every time I get to go to The Center and volunteer and support breast cancer patients ... better known as SURVIVORS.  See the many blessings below ... a large Look Good Feel Better class learning how to apply makeup and the best part ... draw on your eyebrows when they all fall out.  If you want to know what I've been through and what these ladies are going through ...
Shave your head ... not a burr or spikey ... I mean shave it all the way off.  Now get the tweezers and pluck ALL your eyebrows and eyelashes OUT.  See how you look ... these are the cosmetic challenges of a chemo patient.  We are blessed to have The Center who offers these very important classes.

Above:  One of the speakers.  Lady in green shirt
is Alice.  She does the makeup class.  

Above:  The precious lady in the orange shirt is Carolyn.
She's a lead volunteer and the sweetest woman.

Above:  The tables are set up in horse shoe fashion.
The ladies on the outside of the horse shoe are the
patients ... I like to call them survivors.  The ladies
on the inside of the horse shoe are their supporters/
caregivers.

This class was very large.  So glad they come out
and take advantage of the classes that the The
Center offers ... not glad that the reason they
are there is breast cancer.  

Above:  Lady in white lab coat is our sweet
Helena.  She came in and gave us all a hug.

the class begins.

lady.

Above:  Here's our sweet sassy Pam.  She
is the nurse navigator at The Center and
puts this class together.

Above:  And there are always drawings.  The lady who won
is truly beautiful and so sweet.  This is a wall hanging ...
What Cancer Cannot Do.

Above:  Volunteers ... one and all.  Ms. Janell was busy and
about and missed the picture.  

Above:  I left both of these pics on because some of us
blurred in each.  I look like I was posing with my arm
back ... NOT.  I was holding the back of the chair.

Above:  Napkins ...
IF YOU LOVE THEM ... CHECK THEM.
This is SOOOOOO important.

Blessings.
