Hi everyone,

I just came across these cards that I think many of us will appreciate.  I would have loved to receive one of these cards as they speak to exactly how I was feeling.

Enjoy!

    We're on the same wavelength, Clementine!

    I also saw this news story this morning, and immediately bookmarked Emily McDowell's site -- these cards are freakin' outstanding!  

    I think "Let's celebrate with whatever doesn't taste disgusting" is my favorite -- only someone who's been through chemo could possibly write that!

    I plan to shop from her site soon -- I'd love to support her efforts.

    I saw these on Facebook and

    I saw these on Facebook and love them. I love the one about people who say "Oh I have a friend who died of breast cancer..." Ugh isn't that just the worst when someone does that lol!!!! These cards rock!

    Let's get these cards and send them to each other!

    My fav: Let me punch the next person who says "Everything happens for a reason... "

    Add to that, "We make our own health", "Be grateful it's not something worse", "You'll do better if you keep a positive attitude"
