Sorry for the old Sesame Street reference.  I couldn't help it.  The letter C is on my mind.

I'm really looking forward to my visit to this amazing store!  Thank you, Stacey Park, for hosting these workshops.

Now onto some other Cs.  On my mind this week is my sister, Carole, who has just been diagnosed with the 'dreaded C'.  Our family has always been blessed with good health.  This is the first time that cancer has touched our lives this intimately.  And of course it has to be a doozy, Stage 4 Uterine Cancer. It's a rare, agressive kind that has no cure.  We are all keeping the faith.  Coming together as a family.  Feeling completely powerless and wanting to do more. 

So the last C for the day will be to hold your family CLOSE.  Call, write, facebook – stay in touch with each other.  Things can happen so quickly, so out of the blue.

So if you could raise her in your thoughts, I would appreciate it so much.

Much love to all.
