Good Afternoon –

It’s hard to believe it has almost been a year since my sister was diagnosed with cancer. It all seems sort of surreal and then also very real at the same time. I know that November 15th is a date that is somewhat looming for Hills. She is still recovering from surgery, not feeling 100%, and I know wishes she was feeling physically better.  I wish there was something I could do to make it better for her and I know a lot of you feel the same. We haven’t had a cheer since her liver surgery when Carolyn Grant spearheaded “cut it out” which as fabulous, so thank you Carolyn for that. That was 6 weeks ago today. So I think Hills could use a little cheer and a reason to honor the date of Nov. 15th.

The next cheer theme is “Journey” (thank you Charles and Clia for your idea!) In Charles’ words, “Every million mile got to take a first step” (Every million miles ya haffe tek a first step, from the band Spearhead) http://www.lyrics.net/lyric/820076

Please send your stories or quotes about everyday folk who make their way through extraordinary times, your own personal journeys, your thoughts about journey, your favorite Journey song :)! Think perseverance and what that means. It’s been a long year, and everyone is saying now may be the hardest part. So Hilary needs your support and love on her journey!

As always, thanks so much for your support – xo becca
