Pink Promises

In our busy life it’s easy to live in our happy chaotic little bubbles. We spend our busy days running around, working, socializing, preparing, being parents and others helping parents. We wear many hats and have many full time jobs. Yes, life is crazy busy and it’s easy to fall into the mind set of what do I have to do next – because that is all that is important at the moment. The months fly by and then all of a sudden we are making the appointment for the yearly mammogram. I know for most- having any yearly test is scary. It’s very often a topic in my office. Just scheduling the appointment can throw your whole day because of the anxiety that comes with it. I think it’s safe to say it’s a fear among most of us that regardless of how amazing things are at that moment – we can walk in the mammogram room and it be life changing results by the time we walk out.
But what I think we need to remember is while we are living in our little bubbles of everyday chaos and happiness, how comforting and important it is to know that if that day ever comes for us or someone we love – Pink Promises and BCRF are working hard everyday to accelerate the breakthroughs that are bringing us closer to a cure, and speeding up the research that give us the progress that improves survivorship and quality of life. Let’s face it, once you are diagnosed it’s no longer about how to prevent it, your life becomes all about how to survive it.
These things may not be as important to you at this moment and my hope for you is that it never will be. But by donating you are helping your future, and the future of those you love, and keeping that security that you hope you never need, but nice to know is there improving everyday in case you do. That’s an amazing feeling if you think about it. And what is even more wonderful is by donating you are helping all the Men, Women, Moms, Dads, Sisters, Daughters, Brothers, and Sons that are in need right now, today, this moment. Who are living by and depending on the treatments, cures and progress that BCRF is making everyday with our donations.
Did you know that Since the first Pink Promises event in 2010, they have raised over $4 Million to fund life-saving research through The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. And In 2018-2019, BCRF will award $63 million in annual grants to more than 300 scientists from top universities and medical institutions around the globe. In addition, BCRF has established the Evelyn H. Lauder Founder’s Fund, a multi-year international program dedicated to metastasis that is the first large-scale global effort to unravel the biology of metastasis, with more than $30 million earmarked to date. It is the largest privately funded project exclusively focused on metastasis in the world. But there is still more to be done and the thousands of women and men suffering from breast cancer today are depending on it.
I am super passionate about being a part of an organizations that truly makes a difference in the cause. That’s why I chose to be a part of Pink Promises. . If this is something that you want to do and be a part of, please join us at this year’s Pink Promises 2018 Casino Night, September 28. The Event is being held at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, and it Promises to be a memorable evening for all who attend.
If you can’t join us then you may want to donate to support the mission to end Breast Cancer, knowing that whatever you can give – 90 cents of every dollar goes directly to the research. It’s something to feel really good about when you know what you donate is really making a difference in our future and the future of those we love.

Happy New Year

Welcome to 2015! This year we are going to focus on Balance and how important it is for you to achieve in your daily life. Balance comes in all different shapes and sizes, and when we talk about weight loss it’s so important to figure out how balance will work for you. We can’t live on an all or nothing system. We can’t survive on being perfect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. First of all, it takes a whole lot of work to be perfect and who wants to try and live up to being perfect everyday? One of the fun things about working hard to be healthy and feel good about yourself is when we can go out and enjoy it.

Weight Loss – Balance is about learning how to have fun, enjoy, and stay in control.

 

To have successful weight loss you need Balance in all areas of your life. The following are my favorite 5 resolutions to keep you healthy and your life in balance in 2015.

 

1) WEIGHT LOSS & FITNESS: While over 85% of Americans are overweight it’s no wonder it’s the number one resolution. But it’s also the number one resolution people stop doing before any other resolution. By Valentines Day, 75% of weight loss and fitness resolutions are already done and forgotten about. Don’t be that person this year. Make your weight loss and fitness a priority. A Healthy, Nutritious body and regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that they reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, enhance mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, a healthy nutritious body and exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. Start by having a plan. When you have a weight loss and fitness plan you are more likely to see it through.

 

2)  ENJOY LIFE MORE & ENJOY YOUR FAMILY: Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles of millions of Americans, it is no wonder that “enjoying life more” has become a popular resolution in recent years. It’s an important step to a happier and healthier you! Get out there with your family or friends and do something that makes you happy, something fun! It can’t be all about work all the time.

 

3) LEARN SOMETHING NEW: Have you vowed to make this year the year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or maybe even learn how to cook? 🙂 Whether you take a course or read a book, you’ll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year’s resolutions to keep. Most local colleges and universities offer distance and adult education programs. Find something that interests you and learn something new this year.

 

4)  GET OUT OF DEBT:  Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Join the millions of Americans who have resolved to spend this year getting a handle on their finances. It’s a promise that will repay itself many times over in the year ahead. There is no greater stress on the body and mind then being in debt. Take small steps and get out of it while you can. If you are not in debt then start saving. People who have a savings account feel 60% less stress than those who live paycheck to paycheck.

 

5)  HELP OTHERS: This is my favorite. A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, is volunteerism and it can take on many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, donating your time at the local hospital – there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help. Or if your time is really in short supply, maybe you can at least find it in you to donate the furniture, clothing and other household items that you no longer need.

 

If you can get your life in balance you will feel a much better sense of control.  The above 5 resolutions give you that control in every area of your life from Health, Having fun, Education, Financial and the Giving of Yourself. The resolutions are not meant to accomplish overnight. They are meant to accomplish this year.

 

Make 2015 your year of balance, control

and one you want to remember and reflect on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
