    Why? Because I went to a very expensive college, I've discovered Pizza, The Miracle PMS Cure, and I can successfully use the word "blankie" in a sentence!

    How could you NOT trust me???

    Forgot one...
    This falls more under the categories of Science and History, rather than Inspiration, but I still recommend it highly:

    Bathsheba's Breast: Women, Cancer & History, by James S. Olson. It's a scholarly history of breast cancer, from ancient Egypt all the way to the present time.

    While I was in treatment, I kept wondering what women had to go through BEFORE there were lumpectomies, or chemo, or estrogen blockers, so I found this book really fascinating....I'm a big history wonk anyway....:-)
