October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We all know what to do, so let's do what we can!

• Get a mammogram at least every other year after age 40
• Do self-exams monthly (I'm lax about this but I did one today!)
• Give tangible, practical support to women with breast cancer
• Remind the men in your life that men get breast cancer too

For lots more info, visit the official National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website.

Support Breast Cancer Research
A portion of all zena moon sales in October will be donated to Breast Friends.

Also, did you know we offer a pink cancer survival candle? Available scented or unscented, the quote on the label reads:

Cancer is so limited . . . It cannot
cripple love, shatter hope, corrode faith,
destroy confidence, kill friendships,
shut out memories, silence courage,
invade the soul, or conquer the spirit.

Hey Carla, this is a bit off topic but I just received my latest shipment of candles. I love them all so much. I did not realize I ordered small ones though...But now, I have a nice assortment and all sizes too...I was planning on storing these for gifts but too late...I'm already attached to them so I'm keeping this batch! Hope your week is going well...Love, Beverly

Thanks for this post and for posting the part about:

"tangible, practical support"

I have breast cancer and I am a strong believer in the thinkbeforeyoupink.org campaign because so many organizations make money off of breast cancer donations when really, there are people who are struggling to get the proper tests, surguries, medications, etc. for this. Many women even lose their jobs since they have to take so much time off due to "treatments" if they even have jobs.

Peace today.
