Coming Full Circle – The last step in healing.
Hello beautiful community! I am so excited to share our newest project, which my Producing partner, Patrick Norman (Lakewood Films) brought to us. We are receiving donations through Paypal and re-launching our crowdfunding campaign in the near future.
Danielle Levy Fundraiser
Hello amazing and supportive community! One of the main things we teach through this non-profit is that stress, fear, worry, anger and any “negative” emotion, if not properly dealt with, will lead to illness. I am raising money for Lilian Lemer to keep her alive and well during a time of crisis and trauma. If we can relieve one of the many terrible things she is facing with the loss of her daughter, then we have helped save someone’s life.
Temporary Nipple Tattoos!
My oncologist (Dr. Philamena McAndrew) just shared this website with me http://www.rubonnipples.com/
How cool is this?!?! For women who can’t afford or choose NOT to get nipple tattoos, these are so life like and will add so much confidence in intimate situations, or even something simple like a spa day or the gym shower. No props lost to the ladies who rock the nipple-less boobies with all the moxy in the world! But I know that is hard for a lot of women.
A wedding stolen by cancer, crowdsourced, and given back (Rebel Belle) – a note from Elysia
What would we have done this week without Laura Guerrie from Rebel Belle Weddings?! http://rebelbelleweddings.com/2013/04/a-wedding-stolen-by-cancer-crowdsourced-and-given-back/
We have been working together since the second week of April on creating the Wedding of a Lifetime for cancer patient, Jennifer Batugo and her fiance Brian Gargano. This journey of creation has been a learning experience like no other, and proof that human kindness and generosity has not gone out of style. In fact, it seems to be trending more than ever!
Fighting Cancer – The Wedding of a Lifetime!
If you were told you might only have a few months to live, what would you do? For Jenn and Brian, they are planning the wedding of a lifetime.
All Women (and Men) Must Watch! Love this :-)

Free housekeeping for chemo patients!
If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning – once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It’s our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.
