It's that time again! We get together on the 17th and applaud our health consciousness and I get to feel all proud of you who participate.
Everyone please do your BSE, and then say you did it in the comment section of THIS post. I will draw a winner from those commenters on Sunday night. Notice: no blog required, just a name or an alias and a valid email only i will see.
Then once you have participated only once, you are eligible for this beautifully designed Club 17 button from Desert Diva!
I hope LOTS and LOTS of you get buttons today! (remember to check here for instructions, more details, etc.)
Once you've done a BSE SIX times, you get the one with the crown, like in my sidebar over there on the left.
Highlighting IBC awareness this month. Don't know what that is? THEN YOU MUST FIND OUT. MUST. Start here. And then go here. And yes, really, do yourself a very QUICK favor and go here too. You need to know that the most aggressive, fastest growing form of breast cancer doesn't involve a lump, and isn't detected with mammograms. So yes, do the BSE by all means, but educate yourself on this other form of breast cancer too, please!
My mom says I should tell you that women are finding lumps, seeing doctors, and following through on health issues as a result of this 'club.' And yes. I know. My mom also says that if you want to appear taller, walk a short dog. But that's when she's being funny, and this is when she's being all mommish.
updated: I forgot to tell you what I'm giving away this month! Oh well. It'll be GOOD, but I"m still not tellin'. Ha!

I saw this over at Shannon's today~excellent idea! My SIL was just diagnosed with breast cancer last month and had started chemo and radiation. My husband is always asking my to do a self exam and I put it off for some reason. Thank you for the links on what to do and look for. Mine is done and to the best of my knowledge I'm all clear! Will do it again on St. Patrick's Day! Thank you!
