Back in October, I was invited to the Pink Alliance Luncheon with Joan Lunden as the guest speaker. What an exciting day! It got even more exciting when I got called up on stage as the newest person diagnosed with cancer. {The oldest one was also called up--she's a survivor of over 40 years!!!}
We were each given a little love in the form of original art:
We listened to Joan speak about her life, her breast cancer journey, and things she might say or do differently had she known more information about cancer before. What I mostly got out of her speech was the belief that when an opportunity presents itself, you stay positive and believe you can do anything and then go and find out how to do it. She also expressed the importance of finding out as much information as you can and then following what is best for your life. This was a powerfully uplifting lunch.
Afterwards, we waited in line to meet Joan and have her sign our book. We are very blessed to have been able to attend.
