Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice!

There is always something to the start of the school year. Even if school is no longer part of your life, this time of year always has a certain heightened hustle and bustle to it. It's familiar, you can always count on it, yet it always seems to catch me in particular off guard every time. With that in mind, I want to encourage you to make sure you keep time for yourself. Block off that time on your schedule whether it's to make a yummy home cooked meal, meditate, work out, read a book, something that will recharge your nervous system and nourish your body and slow down time. 

It is also getting chillier and this tends to be the time of year we all revisit our wardrobe, whether it's to change out the seasons or to put the new season in a more accessible, reachable spot. As you organize, I want to give you a challenge...

Donate one warm item (jacket, blanket, socks, gloves, scarf, etc) that you don't need or want anymore to an organization that will pass that item along to someone who might be sleeping on the streets. It's simple and can be lifesaving to that individual.

This month, 20% of our proceeds will be contributed to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 
Their mission is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research.

Breast cancer knows no age, gender or race. As the most common cancer in women worldwide, it remains a fact of life. Approximately 2.3 million women around the globe were diagnosed in 2021, and incidence rates are on the rise.

That’s because breast cancer has no boundaries. It is the leading cause of cancer death in the world’s poorest countries and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women. The developing world is experiencing higher mortality rates than ever before due to a lack of screening and access to treatment, and we are seeing disparities right here at home as social and economic factors create barriers to proper diagnosis and care.
They want to put an end to breast cancer. Their goal: No more fear. No more hospital visits. No more side effects or needless suffering. No more loved ones lost to breast cancer.
The only way to achieve this goal is through research. Research is revolutionizing their understanding of cancer. Research is leading them to the core of this insidious disease. Research is transforming lives every day as women and men get the help they need.
They believe research—and research alone—has the power to bring an end to cancer. They know what needs to be done, and they have more than 250 researchers urgently working on solutions to one of the world’s greatest problems.

They invest in research that’s changing how they think about cancer. That means more answers, faster breakthroughs, and personalized treatment for every patient. With more than a billion dollars raised to fuel their mission, that’s progress. This year, BCRF is the largest private funder of breast cancer research—and the largest private funder of metastatic research—in the U.S.

Breast cancer is a complex disease with no simple solution, which is why their researchers are tackling it from every angle. Learn about their areas of focus and why each is critical to knowing how to fight cancer from the start, slow its progress and one day stop it from occurring altogether.
