Last night I attended a Susan G. Komen for the Cure Sacramento Valley 2010 Survivor Reception at the Citizen's Hotel in downtown Sacramento. My sister-in-law Monica joined me as my guest for the evening. It was really fun to see Sonia, Tina and another couple gals that I'd met through the different fundraisers for breast cancer awareness. We had a wonderful dinner, played a game of "Komen Idol", and even had our pictures taken in the photo booth.
Although this is a great group of women (and men) to be associated with, you never really ask to be in the "cancer club", you just become an honorary member when you're diagnosed. So, although I had a great time and I continue to appreciate all the love and support from my new group of friends, it still chokes me up when I walk into the room. My thinking is...why? Why do all of these women (and men) have cancer? Why haven't we found a cure? And will we ever? And then there's always the.....why me? Someday I hope to have answers to those questions.

change is good. But all that means is
that something you didn't want to
happen has happened." - Meg Ryan (in support of her mother, Susan Ryan Jordan)
Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
