This month has been a big month for Breast Cancer Awareness. And to support them in raising money, I bought this hot/cold container... isn't is just gorgeous?
I attached some of my old phone charms to it to give it my own personal charm to it. And I was told it's best to keep things cold than hot... so I'll be putting milk in it for my craft days.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
Personal opinion: They need to change the name to "Finding the Cure" or something along those line. Because I'm pretty sure you'd be hard pressed to find someone who is not aware.
@jennwithtwons yeah, I know... but a lot of people ignore the warning signs thinking it won't happen to me; it always happens to somebody else... sad but true. This is why they make it Awareness instead of what you've said; which sounds better.
They do the same thing for Epilepsy Awareness Month... but it makes us people with that disease feel very exposed because there will never be a cure for Epilepsy... it'd be cool if there was.
A nice purchase to keep your drink cold I expect it will get a lot of use. Have you checked out the think pink theme we have all been doing on here over the last month .Tag -THINKPINK 2014
@mozette I've heard good things about cannabidiol treatments. Promising results. As someone with Bipolar (a condition that responds well to anti-seizure medication and now there is a theory, I don't know how good of a theory, that it may be caused by small seizures in the brain), I have a good feeling about this. Hope springs eternal.
I think it's normal to ignore symptoms for most people. Part of it is probably the whole, "not me" thinking. But I think part of it is just the fear. Not wanting to have your worst fear confirmed. Which I totally get. Maybe the best way to go would be awareness of the better treatments and survival rates. Maybe Breast Cancer Survival Awareness.
@jennwithtwons I've been through all the treatments and offers for operations and am now stabel, Jenn. My nuerologist has me on 3 pills twice a day and I've been stablised for over a decade... and am driving a car again. :D It's wonderful to have a car in my possession again instead of having to rely on family members, taxis or public transport. I get so much more done in my life now.
I'm an artist, a retailer at the markets around Brisbane and enjoy gardening, cooking and writing books as well as collecting them. Having a car has been such a great asset to my life over the last year, that Dad bought me my Astra this past April for my 41st birthday this year. :D
@mozette That's great! I remember when I got to drive again! Freedom! It's so great to hear such a wonderful personal story.
Stable for a decade. Gotta say: little jealous. I've been stable for about six months. And I know that I probably won't ever be able to live alone. But hearing your story makes me feel hopeful about what lay ahead for me.
@jennwithtwons I'm still a work in progress... as most of us with mental illnesses are... as I do have my off days and good days. But the good days out number the bad ones. :)

And my milk was ice cold! I wonder how these things work?
