Reblog #5 – Bee Thankful

November 1st, 2022

Just announced!

Thank you to everyone who donated to this incredible foundation. My words cannot adequately describe the weekend I spent with 1499 individuals, FLOCKSTARS as we call one another. Every person comes with a heart filled with hope, generosity and friendship. We may leave tired but joyful with our hearts filled to overflowing. I came away from this event with a renewed sense of hope and admiration to and for cancer survivors. I plan on walking next year and will be starting a fundraising page as soon as I can get my registration completed for Oak Island, N. C. happening October 19th thru the 22nd, 2023.

Look For Fancy Coming Soon

So thankful for all the prayers and emotional support for the successes of 2022; the money raised this year will help hundreds and thousands of individuals to get mammograms and possibly save a life.

I also plan on making small cards to wear during the walk next year with the names of survivors and those who fought this terrible disease bravely and ultimately lost their battle with cancer.

If you would like for me to add a name on a card please forward the name to me. It would be my honor to carry their name with me on this journey.

Dearest friends & followers,

I wanted to share an update for the fundraising goal of 2022 for Pledge The Pink; to date the organization has raised $650,738.19 and still climbing. Donations for the 2022 event are still being accepted through Monday, October 31st, 2022.

I also received news today that the team I am involved with is currently the 3rd highest earning team. Way to go Team Boo 🐝 🦩

It is such an honor to be among this brave and courageous women. The words Faith, Family and Friends…fills my heart to overflowing.

Team Boo Bees — Breast Cancer Survivors

🦩💗🐝💗🦩💗🐝💗🦩💗🐝💗🦩💗🐝💗🦩

I first heard of this group from a dear friend I met in college. Margaret is a breast cancer survivor and warrior! She has participated in this event in the past along with another dear friend, Nancy. We all met in college and have remained friends throughout the years. Life happens, distance grows geographically and personally but the bond we have with one another has endured over almost four decades. Spending last week with them was a blessing from God. God’s timing is always “right-on-time.” He knows us and wants only the very best for us, His plans are always far better than any thing we could ever dream up. Case in point, the plan was everyone would be leaving on Sunday and I was staying over until Monday to close up the house we rented. As it turned out, Nancy’s plans were changed and she and I stayed to close up the house. We spent time Sunday night just talking, sharing in conversation and it was awesome. We spoke about family, life struggles, health, faith and theology, to mention a few. It was all so wonderful. My most favorite, well two favorite things we did were; we prayed together and we sang, “In The Garden.” Thank you, Nancy! Bonus time, I was blessed to drive her to the airport Monday morning at zero dark thirty and we talked and shared more, truly a blessing.

I wish time would have allowed me to spend more time with Margaret, her husband Greg and their daughter Alicia but life is busy and the weekend was very event filled. I am beyond blessed to have these individuals in my life. I also was blessed with two new friends over the weekend, Art and Michelle looking forward to getting to know them better. God is good, God is always good!

Thank you for following my journey and supporting my blog. Blessings to you this day!

Today is Day 3 of Pledge The Pink 2022, it is a beautiful day at Fripp Island, S. C. So many amazing individuals making a difference in so many lives. This experience has far exceeded any of my expectations. I have met women from across the nation and heard their stories of perseverance. This organization is nearly unbelievable, but trust me it is REAL and VERY BELIEVABLE! Below are some amazing photos that were taken by those walking the last 30 miles. I turned volunteer today due to very sore and blistered feet. I pulled out my old cheerleader persona and cheered everyone on to the finish line, along with a vodka lemonade and a power bar! WooHoo!

Welcome to Habersham

Today marked Day Two of Pledge the Pink 3 Days/ 30 Miles. The walk today was in beautiful Habersham, S. C. I was able to take a few pictures of the beauty in the area, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Great news Alicia ran the last 9 miles today and achieved a new personal record! Yay!

Congratulations to Alicia, Margaret, Michelle and Nancy for completing the 10 miles!! I was only able to make it 5 miles today due to severe blistering on both my feet.

Golf Cart Contest

We all had fun decorating and spending time with one another. We have an amazing team and lots of ingenuity. Can’t wait until next year to up our game!

I would like to first say THANK YOU to some very special individuals that contributed to my donation page in support of Team Boo Bees and Pledge the Pink Foundation. Our goal is to raise money and awareness for breast cancer prevention, treatment and research for a cure.

Thank you each, I will try to be worthy of your support. I have many others who are supporting me through prayers and I am so appreciative of those individual prayer warriors. God has given each of us gifts and it is in how we use them that brings glory to God. Whether through your time, your talents or your financial support they are all equally important and cherished by me.

Hello friends, I had an opportunity to spend some time out in nature this past week and captured some (my opinion) beautiful fall colors. I hope you enjoy the short video.

I give thanks to God for His handiworks.
