We desire to bequest two things to our children-- the first one is roots; the other one is wings. (Sudanese Proverb) Image by Rebecca Thom, Lake Tanganyika, 2010

Unaffected beauty


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am grateful to the images posted around New York City; they are riveting, prepossessing and raw. Exposing the truth is transcendent.

If you know someone who has been diagnosed, there is a beautiful and courageous duo of women in Oregon, Sharon Henifen and Becky Olsen who started a non-profit called Breast Friends which is an immeasurable fount of support to women and families who are facing a diagnosis of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other women's cancers.
