It’s October – the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2021.

Although I’m not a fan of the pink ribbon movement, I display this ribbon today in memory of all who have fought the beast and won, those who are still fighting, and those who are sadly no longer with us.

Let’s make breast health mainstream conversation

We hear a lot about breast cancer awareness, but why isn’t breast health mainstream conversation?

A few weeks ago, I read a thought-provoking and inspiring post by Jaclyn over at Jaclynistic Vibes. Her post was a reminder of the importance of breast health and why we need to get comfortable talking about it. Please drop by Jaclyn’s blog and give Let’s Talk About Breast Health a read!

This October, I’ll dedicate my Wednesday posts to keeping the conversation going.
