Finally I See

‘ Miss You Already’ is a heart-wrenching story about the friendship of two women, Milly (played by actress Toni Collette) and Jess (played by actress Drew Barrymore). This film is based on the two main characters showing their original bond of two young, playful children later experiencing the adventures of adulthood together. Just like ‘besties’ they rode the waves of life hand in hand through all its highs and lows. So what has this to do with Breast Cancer Care? For those of you who are familiar with this film you will know that as the film unfolds, Milly is given some disappointing, painful news; she is diagnosed with cancer whilst Jess continues her battle with fertility. What was once one world in the wonderful playful life of children has now become two worlds colliding, both setting their own endings as adults. A tale of hope, love and light-hearted humour makes way for us to identity with the growing reality of breast cancer and its un-foreseeable impact...

Everyone has had scars. A time back when you were little you fell over and hurt yourself days down the line the wound healed but left a scar. It was always the deeper more serious wounds that stayed for years, even though the event was when you were weeny you still look back on that scar and the memories haven't left the feeling of the pain and how it happened. Sometimes the memories behind those scars even bring us shame and hurt today. Childhood scars are not all that serious when we know it was caused by riding our bikes to fast, scrapping our legs on the pavements etc, we get over them soon enough and tell of our careless fall and even laugh at the memories even though at the time we cried. However, as we continue in life some scars are more serious than others. Some scars we would rather hide than it bring back memories of the pain of a traumatic experience, one we don't want to remember or share. These scars were perhaps made through abuse bullying or the phys...

(Challenged undertaken on the 5.5.14) I was always told about this challenge and at some point to be honest I didn't want to join in. Why? I don't know, maybe it was the fear of not being able to complete the challenge. But this time around, this awesome guy by the name of Caleb Meakins and his Amazing Team introduced this challenge again through their Facebook page called:  SHIFT . This time my perspective was different. What had changed? My attitude. It was no longer a fear of not being able to complete the challenege, but more about actively making a difference in the world we live in each day. I had always wanted to do an outreached/mission trip to Africa and places classfied as poverty striken but never really had the finances to go. So to do 'Live below the Line (LBTL): Tear Fund' this to me was my active way of helping. Incase you didn't know anything about this LBTL movement, check out this video below: http://vimeo.com/91699932...
