Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today (after lung cancer) and is the most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.3 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer annually worldwide about 465,000 will die from the disease. Breast cancer death rates have been dropping steadily since 1990, according to the Society, because of earlier detection and better treatments.

DELTA AIR LINES....
My grocery store, like yours, was full of PINK during
OCTOBER, BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH..
but WE CAN'T STOP THERE...we have to be reminded ALL YEAR LONG.....
I absolutely LOVE this.....
every time we see a touch of PINK, we remember our loved ones and friends
that have or have had this deadly disease and we
PRAY A LITTLE HARDER !
I know we ALL appreciate the companies that support the FIGHT FOR THE CURE....
I sure do and I try my very best to purchase PINK over anything else.
Did you know you could buy PINK grocery bags with proceeds going to the
CURE ?
I didn't but.....I sure do now and I am getting some!
Imagine taking them in a grocery store, reminding someone of this dreaded illness and them going home, calling for their long over-due MAMMOGRAM ...all because they saw YOU with your PINK GROCERY BAGS....
THE FOLLOWING are some PINKS that join in the
FIGHT FOR THE CURE....
I don't have breast cancer nor anyone in our family has it. I do have two very good friends that have fought it ......and both have won their fight. Praise be to our Heavenly Father and for all the awareness that is going on now. EARLY DETECTION is crucial ..
It is a cause that I have always felt very strongly about and is always on my mind. I don't have much money to donate......but, I CAN help to make awareness of this disease more available and....SO CAN YOU !
AND......so can fellas like this one ....
don't we love it and don't we appreciate it...
ooo, we sure do !!
DELTA AIR LINES....the more PINK that's out there, the more we are all reminded...
Google this and read all about what a great thing they are doing.....

Just watch for them.....SOMEONE WILL THANK YOU !

This is an illness that CAN be beaten. We just have to keep it foremost in our minds so we are reminded to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT....
The money earned thru all the wonderful ways our country has pitched in to help

BJ,
You are just the best! You will inspire all who reads your post for PS! :-)
Bless you for reminding us how important is to take care of ourselves & spread the word that early detection is the best way to confront this terrible disease. And let all women (and men) who have beat the odds have the blessings of our Lord to never have to face this again & be forever an example of courage & a reminder to us do monthly self-exams and mammograms as recommended by our physicians!
Thank you again for caring & God bless!

GM BJ, What an awesome post you had today. Your right, reminders are every where you look in the month of October, then it just goes away. You did a fantastic job here reminding us all to get an exam. No one in my family has had to deal with breast cancer, but I have many friends that have or do have it. I'll be sure to put the pink ribbon on my side bar.
Love Ya,
Chris
BJ,
You go girl! This is a GREAT post!
My grandmother had breast cancer and beat it! PTL! I have had several close friends who have had it... some have won and some died battling to the end. Thanks for sharing this because people need to be aware. I hope some day that this disease will be over for good!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi BJ!
You betcha! REAL MEN DO WEAR PINK!! Wes has a pink shirt and wears it proudly. I LOVE him in it! I lost one of my sisters to breast cancer. She had a long battle with cancer moving from her breast to her back. The same thing happened to one of my SILs. It's a fight that should be won by ALL. And I hope someday it IS!
Great post BJ! And by the way, I LOVE your fireplace!! It's so inviting... I'll be over for some tea by the fireplace!!

Fantastic tribute BJ!
A really great post! Thanks so much for visiting my site. It's always nice to make new friends. I guess there's not many who haven't known someone with breast cancer. My best friend is recovering from it now. Thanks to you, we can keep it fresh in our minds and pray for them.
God bless,

BJ
Love your PINK messages!
My mother died of breast cancer. There are no words I can think of to express the horror and pain I felt for her in the last weeks of her life. This disease MUST be fought until a cure is found.
First of all, hubby does wear pink! Pink isn't just an attitude with me or a decorating color for my PINKKKKK house, it's a way of life for this chick, honey. Happy pink saturday,
Smooches,
Connie
What a service you do to remind us. I do love all the clever ways people have found to spread the word. I totally love those ideas - the soup and the airplane! Wild!
My mammogram is scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Ow, ow! - but it's worth it.
Thanks, BJ - have a great Pink Saturday.
What a wonderful post...for cancer is also every where you look.
I can't believe how much this post affected me..I got goose bumps and cried..God love ya

Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring post. Yes, we need to do all we can to keep the goal in sight -- an end to the horrible disease cancer. I just wanted to add we need to find a cure for ALL cancers.
Blessings, Lana
Some have argued that the PINK has become to commercialized to mean anything anymore....
But...I disagree.
Thank you so much for the uplifting sentiments...and the renewal of our commitment to the CAUSE :)
*(let's sing and paint together, shall we?)
What a great post.
God Bless,
Kathy :)
BJ, you come up with the best posts! We've had TOO MANY women in my husband's family effected by breast cancer. I even worry about my husband. It's so scary.
My grandmother and great-grandmother both had breast cancer. In April, I had had pre-cancerous cells removed. I have to be very dilligent and get mammograms every 6 months. We must take care of ourselves! Thanks for a wonderful pink post!
A perfectly pink inspirational post BJ. I have a good friend who has survived breast cancer. Self exams, mammograms, reminding friends and family...they are all sooo important!
BJ,
This is a wonderful and such an important PINK post! This will hopefully save many lives by just getting that yearly mammogram. I have lost far too many friends and know too many who are suffering right now.
Thank YOU! May Heavenly Father continue to bless you. You truly are a jewel.
♥♥♥
Very sweet Pink post.
Blessings,
Virginia :)
Oh yes, real men do wear pink!
Wonderful pink Saturday post. My mother passed with breast cancer and it is such a rotten disease. So keep up the great post like this one so we don't forget about it until October.
Hugs

Bravo! The fight continues. We must conquer all types of cancer.
Happy Pink Saturday, dear BJ.
Hi BJ, if there were any people out in blogland who did not know of your generous, giving spirit, they will know now. Your "we can do this" attitude is an inspiration. PS I loved your post yesterday, and finding out about how your son installed it for you is sooo sweet. I didn't know the history behind it. Have a great weekend!
Hi BJ,
I'm always amazed at the pink everywhere and on everything. Target always has pink appliances and baking gadgets and so much more. Valentines day should be a great reminder too. Keep up the Pink Fight!

BJ. Your post about breast cancer is outstanding. Thank you for the effort it took to make us all realize what we can do to help fight BC. My sister is a breast Cancer survivor. All I can say is 'you rock'
Love you my friend...Jeanne
Beautiful! And a black lab photo always tugs at my heart strings!!
Great post BJ ! I just had my mammogram 2 weeks ago and it was negative !! Yeah !
I think I received your payment about the same time you left the message on our blog! LOL You know you could have sent a plain check. You didn't have to go to all that trouble. We hope you like it and if you have any trouble or are hesitant in applying the vinyl letters we sent you, just let us know.
Have a happy weekend.

I know I need to get check out, and I keep putting it off. Wow you really brought us many great pinky stuff. I never seen pink bird feeders...Where would you find something like that? I'm a serious bird feeder, and I would love to have some of those to purchase.
Very nice! Happy Pink Saturday!
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY
THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST. I THINK IT IS LIKE EVERY 15 SECONDS, SOME WHERE THERE WILL BE SOMEONE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
MY DAUGHTER HAS HAD CANCER TWICE BUT PRAISE JESUS IT WAS NOT BREAST CANCER...BUT WE KNOW MANY WOMEN FIGHTING BREAST CANCER.
BLESSINGS

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this blessed, wonderful post! Although you may not have realized it this is a tribute to those of us who've fought this fight and will for the rest of our lives. You have no idea how much it helps just to know others care and do what they can. You also have no idea how many lives you may have saved today with this post. Thank you is hardly big enough for those including who do their best to keep this hideous illness in the minds and hearts of people.
I love you!
Martha
Hi BJ,
This is a wonderful post. You may have saved someone's life...and not even know it. If one person makes an appointment for a mammogram because all the blogging will be worthwhile.
Hope you have had a wonderful pink Saturday!
BJ - Your post is so very meaningful. I think that each of us knows at least one breast cancer survivor. The women who have survived are special, caring individuals who fight not only for themselves but for each victim of breast cancer. Thanks for fighting the cause.
Hugs,
Sweetie

I so enjoyed this article. I am battling breast cancer now..This disease is terrible and I feel for anyone whom has gone thru this.Hope someday there will be no more breast cancer for anyone to fight...with people like you that day will come. Thank you
Dear BJ...what a wonderful & loving post today...You are the best! I am praying a cure will be found in our lifetimes, but at our ages they had better hurry up! BTW, I love the phrase about when a baby is born...so is a grandmother! I think if I ever get a tattoo, it'll say that...LOL
Hugs, ;-) Bo
As the kids at school say "Pink is the new black." They wear a pink ribbon with pride.
Thanks for the reminder to keep on fighting for a cure.
God bless.
Dear ANONYMOUS,
I will add you to my prayer list that you will recover completely from this battle you are fighting.
I know how scared you must feel and I wish I could say or do something to help you feel better. You know without me saying that God loves you and so do I. Prayer is the most powerful gift of all and HE listens to every single word uttered.
