SoCal gathering - hugs, memories, and pictures

I believe that is referred to as "joyful noise"
Thank you for the pictures and the delightful company for the afternoon. It was nice to see familiar faces with longer hair.

Walk a mile, get a Starbucks, walk back a mile use the restroom, walk another 2 miles....hey, I'm in training for May!

Pssst...there's a silly straw, bubbles, and birthday candles in that bag too. Don't let Trace play with matches!

Another wonderful gathering
Thank you, all, for your lovely companionship -- it's so nice to laugh about the frustrations in life with people who really understand.

Yep, we're in training for May's Revlon walk. That means you, too, VickiSam:). ( she's not too keen on the idea of getting sweaty ).

I had a good time -- wish all of you could have joined us.

It was so wonderful to see
It was so wonderful to see you all again. Thank you Aisling, Faith_Trust..., and New Flower for the gifts. It was such a good time!
BL

what fun!
So wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting the pics, Traci! VickiSam ... I have to say that you look like you are an absolute hoot! I posted on one of the pics ... it looks like you've been caught doing something! My mom was always so much fun to be around, always the life of the party. You look like that to me ... you ooze joy. What a blessing!

You all are BEAUTIFUL!

First of all, I would like to Thank -- Victoria, Faith, Hope
& Sass and New Flower - for the beautiful and wonderful gifts of love. Next, I would like to shout out to TraciinLA .. special KUDOS for hooking us 'Girls' up with a wonderful eatery!

Dawne.Hope -- You are so kind to think that I am outgoing, but I am the quiet, shy gal in the group. I was delighted to spend the afternoon with my fellow WARRIORS - Sisters in PINK. I enjoyed myself, and today's outing, healed my acky soul. --

And yes, those girls are urging me to walk with them in early May - Revlon Breast Cancer Walk == I am not afraid to walk, I am afraid to sweat --LOL just a joke. gee, I guess I might have to start walking and getting into shape -- don't want to embarass our group on 'game' day in May, with me lagging behind -- huffing and puffing all the way to the finish line. Just a thought, perhaps I can bring along a pair of roller blades, and make a quick break to the finish line ?

I have photo's of my daughter and I .. taken today, however, I am having difficulties changing over my photo -- from what I've had posted -- my pink ribbon. Traci in LA .. has offered her experise. Hoping to exhibit real life photo's soon.


Love you all... shy, Vicki Sam

Never would have guessed it!
So glad that today was good for your heart!

seriously, needed to see, feel and touch a few of 'our'
SURVIVORS . . . Dawne, we are talking about another get together in mid to late May .. If I recall correctly, you live up in Canada ? maybe, I am confused.


Vicki

Shy??????
So not!!!

VickiSam is wonderful and funny and most importantly, to me, "gets" my sarcasm. See, she's good at it, too, and doing it right before your very eyes when she calls herself shy Vicki.

I am so glad that you all
I am so glad that you all got together and had a great time, but I'm a little jealous. I may be visiting San Diego and Palm Beach in April and would love to visit some So Cal gals then. Maybe???

San Diego
Please remember who lives in San Diego!! And maybe we could get those L.A. girls to head south. I live close to the train station, ladies -- you step off the train and poof -- there's the ocean across the street!

I'm just saying......

LIFE OVER CANCER: A NEW MODEL OF INTEGRATIVE CANCER TREATMENT

Keith I. Block, MD, co-founder, medical and scientific director of the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment, integrative cancer treatment specialist and author of Life Over Cancer, and Penny Block, PhD, executive director, and psycho-social oncology specialist discuss combining cutting-edge conventional treatment with individualized and scientifically-based complementary, mind/body and nutraceutical therapies. Issues to be discussed include nutrition during and after treatment, supplements, and key strategies to address the significant psychological issues that cancer patients often face, that influence not only their quality of life, but impact disease outcome.
