A long-time friend’s mom passed away just last week after a long battle with cancer. She was a fantastic woman and a terrific cook. Mrs. R will forever be remembered as always happy and injecting positive energy into everyone she met.

Matthew Oliphant created pinkforoctober.org to urge other sites to “Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research.” With already 200 sites gone pink, the event is off to a great start. I can’t wait to see how large of an initiative this becomes by the end of the month.
