Barely a month into writing this blog, Jessica Mindich, the creator of Jewelry for a Cause, kindly sent me her new Pink Buddha necklace. I was so touched for many reasons. I wrote then about my wonderful yoga teacher, Janet, who is a breast cancer survivor. I truly think of her whenever I wear my necklace.
Pink Buddha is seated in the position of dispelling fear. Pink can be strong when it needs to be. Just like women.
Like all of Jessica’s jewelry, part of the proceeds of this necklace go to charity. The charity it supports is the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
According to Dr. Susan Love, guru of breast cancer research, we have come a long way in awareness. However, we need to find a cure. So, let’s not let the conversation end…when October ends. Let’s keep it alive. So that more woman will live…and live longer.

Recently, Jessica made good on her promise to send me some more Pink Buddha necklaces to give away during October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I have 3 of them.
So, please leave a comment by Friday night. I’ll randomly select 3 winners and announce them next Monday morning. Wear it yourself or give it to your mother, your sister, your daughter, a friend….or someone you barely know who may need some support.
As a friend recently wrote me, “Remember, there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end” ~ Scott Adams
Together, let’s create a ripple…pinky promise?
I would definitely wear it with pride my dear!
My mother survived it when she was just 21. I watched my grandmother (dad's mom) lose the battle. I grew up playing with her wigs and sitting by her bedside. It was just "normal". I will never recover from her passing. She taught me about style, class and the beauty in the little things. I may be adopted, but we were like 2 peas in a pod. I still say I get all my pizazz from her π
XO,
Kelly
Kel, that is so touching. I can see that this disease has touched you so deeply and so closely. I love knowing now where you get your pizzazz!!!!! Your grandmother would be so proud of you! xoxo E
It's scary how many of my friends are fighting back against their own battles with breast cancer. Pink is an attitude. Thanks to all those who offer support, like the Pink Buddha from Jessica and you Elizabeth! xo Cathy
As Audrey Hepburn said, " I believe in pink" π
Such a beautifully written post this morning, Elizabeth. The necklace is just beautiful and I hope it goes to someone who is fighting or surviving this awful disease or to someone who has lost someone they love because of it.
My son has a "pay it forward" project due at school and I love the ripple effect it has had on him. The Pink Buddha rocks! Hope you are having a lovely girls' weekend!
xxoo
My sister is still on the road to remission for breast cancer. Thankfully, we believe she is beating it.
You are so right; we cannot stop talking about it at months' end. It's a discussion that should be on the table, and with men contributing.
Oh, I adore these! They are so chic, and for such a good cause. I would wear one proudly!
We really enjoyed this post… what a perfect quote to end it with too.

A very touching post. It's such a scary disease. I love the quote by Scott Adams. How true!
so touching.
Pretty, Pink and for a great cause, this giveaway, these necklaces…they just seem so YOU! xx
I know all too well the fear that sets in when a lump is found; I've gone through it twice. And I'm still here.
I like the idea of creating a ripple.
Elizabeth, you
are so kind!!!
Kathleen LOVES
the one you gave
her {you'll be
hearing from her,
soon} and I have
one on my wish list.
I would, of course,
love to win one!
If I don't, I'm
putting in my
order….THANK YOU,
again!
xx Suzanne
Carole – I'm so glad you're still here, too!!!
Suzanne – you recognized that quote, didn't you? See, the ripple actually began with you!
xo Elizabeth
I love how pink can be strong! Yes, let's create and continue the ripple effect…
I have seen pink all over the place this month but have never seen a Pink Buddha…how appropriate and lovely.
Beautiful necklace and sentiment!
SheilaC
wonderful symbol. we could've used it on our race for the cure last month. we walked with my two aunts who are survivors!
thanks

Hi. Thanks for looking after other women by spreading the word about Breast Cancer.
And you are right, the color pink might be seen by some as "too girly", but these days women from all walks of life are proving their strength by standing up to combat this disease. So to all the brave women out there, keep the fight and the faith.

I have several friends participating in the 3 day walk this year–I admire their commitment. I'm also thrilled to see pink all over the NFL this month! A great cause and cool necklace!
Great awareness for everyone!
