IS BLACK ONE OF YOUR FAVE COLORS?

Do you think that black cats are a bad thing? When I was a kid, my mom pounded in my head that  a black cat crossing your path is serious bad luck, and for years I believed that.  Don't ask me how, but eventually, I got past that superstition. Eventually after joining the USAF, I ended up getting Skye, my black Persian cat, who was eventually stolen while she was at the veterinarian for a checkup.  No such thing as cameras or android phones back then.

True fully black Persians are rare, but I thought it was okay to leave her in the case in the waiting room while I went to the restroom.  For Pete's sake, I was in an office that treated pets, right?  When I came back, she was gone and I was devastated.

Anywho, now I think that black is elegant, unusual and classy and decided to share some really neat items dedicated to this phenomenal color.  And it's a great way to focus on Halloween.

It's almost 2018, and hard to understand that 1 in 8  women in the United States will get breast cancer at some point in their lives, 1 in 17 women will get lung cancer, and 1 in 24 will get rectal or colon cancer.  This means that someone in your family or someone you know will be affected  by one of these cancers in your lifetime.  Some may not even tell you until it's too late! 

About 3 years ago, a friend told me that she had breast cancer, and she looked fantastic.  Two months later - just like that - she died, and we were shocked. She didn't know she had it, then on top of that, once she was diagnosed, she didn't tell anyone until the last minute, knowing that she only had a short time left on this earth.  Early treatment is critical to saving a life.

If you've been reading this blog, you know I'm passionate about victims and survivors of domestic violence. For the past 30 years, October has been recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  Be aware of what's considered unhealthy, and to remember that abuse can happen to anyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or economic status.  Also keep in mind that YOU are not to blame.
