October 22 Fundraiser - More Excitement!

For friends who are planning on attending the Friday, October 22 "Celebrating Women" event at Crossroads Coffeehouse in Cross Plains - I want to share more exciting news.  Coffeehouse clients have noted the fundraiser we are having (many are business people) and are graciously donating items for a raffle/silent auction. I love this community and how people come together for a great cause.

Also, a massage therapist friend of mine has decided she wants to bring her massage chair and give 5 minute chair massages. If you plan to enjoy one of these you may want to layer your clothes, or wear a button down shirt. We are going to try and find a more remote area of the building for her to give the massages...probably out in a corner of the building central entrance, and a privacy screen will be put up.

I still plan to have door prizes... and very nices ones, that people will have a chance to win just for coming to the event.  Fundraising is important, but seriously, a key goal for me on this night is to educate and empower women to take control of their own health.
Six days to Celebrating Women - see you there!

For all my local friends I encourage you to save two dates, or at least one. I have had a strong calling to share what I have learned about hormone imbalance as it relates to the cause of breast cancer with my friends. I have spent the past few months reading, reading, reading... the information is astounding. It certainly has encouraged me to focus on a lifestyle change so that I can become more healthy and aware of how my body reacts to the products and environment I am exposed to each day.

On Friday, October 22 at 6:30 Crossroads Coffeehouse is the location for the first event. On this night myself and a couple of friends will share about how we have been affected by breast cancer in our lives. I will specifically address hormone imbalance and how it affects our bodies in a hugely negative way, and give attendees information on steps they can take to prevent cancer cell growth. The talking portion for this event will be kept brief, to ensure plenty of time for guests to listen to the wonderful sounds of my friend Bernie Harrington on her Native American flutes. Friends will be assisting me in giving hand massages, and I do believe a massage therapist friend of mine is planning to make it to give out neck massages. "Prevent Stations" will be set up in which guests can visit each station, get a massage, try out a lotion or gelee', and pick up a cancer prevention card. Mary Devitt, owner of Crossroads will be serving up sweets and wonderful teas, which have anti-oxidant benefits.

On Tuesday, October 26 we will gather in the upper level of Coach's Sports Bar & Restaurant at 6:30 p.m. Here I will present a very informative PowerPoint presentation that will last 20-25 minutes. My goal is to teach everyone present the definition of "estrogen dominance" and "xenoestrogens" and why it is so important to be aware of these two terms in regards to our overall health and well-being, as well as that of our children.

Again there will be hand massages, as well as a chance to purchase Arbonne heatlh and well being products, and Silpada jewelry to benefit cancer research. $10 for each Pampermint Gift Set purchased will go directly towards the Susan G Komen Foundation. For all other purchases, a percentage of sales will benefit cancer research. Jennifer, the owner of Coach's, has also arranged for red wine tasting.

Everyone will be encouraged to light a votive candle in memory or in honor of someone in your life that has been affected by cancer. We will recognize these individuals prior to closing our evening at around 8:30 p.m.

It is my desire that each person will experience an evening of fellowship, unity for a cause, relaxation, and empowerment to ask their doctors informed questions, and a desire to be a part of their own health care.

Mark Your Calendars

Friday, October 22 - come to Crossroads Coffeehouse at 6:30 pm. I am hosting a Susan G Komen fundraiser and I am excited to spend the evening educating and pampering women. I will be sharing what I have learned about estrogen dominance and xenoestrogens as related to cancer, my AB team and myself will be pampering with hand massages and other forms of "spoil"ness.  My friend Bernadette Harrington agreed to play her soothing Native American Indian Flutes, and we will honor those we miss, and the cancer survivors we admire.
The following Tuesday, Oct. 26th, we're planning to meet at 6:30 p.m. upstairs of Coaches where I can educate with aid of a PowerPoint presentation I have spent hours and hours on - the information is so very important and every woman deserves to know.  I do believe there will be wine tasting, as well as more pampering with Arbonne lotions.
Proceeds from both evenings benefit the Susa G Komen foundation - my goal is to raise $1000 for breast cancer research. I will share more information, but for now, please mark your calendars. If you cannot make it I will be happy to travel with my laptop and meet you for a one on one educational time.
