One very important thing

Get your mammogram!

A dear friend in Cordova has been diagnosed with breast cancer after her first mammogram came back not so clear. She just underwent her first of several surgeries and will start chemo soon. They caught it early thanks to the mammogram. She has a long road ahead of her but she is very healthy physically, spiritually and emotionally and I have no doubt will pull through with shining colors!

Feeling a little helpless several thousands of miles away, Mikayla and I decided to have a bra burning to show our support (pardon the pun). We talked under the stars for a while and then, thinking we needed to muster up positive energy for this fantastic gift of a woman we got a little goofy before setting fire to the said undergarments. I know our love and support got caught up in the smoke, up in the sky, caught the winds and made it all the way to Alaska!

Tell the ones you love that you love them. Often.
And get your mammogram!
