Fashion "Heals!"






Happy Monday all! This weekend, in honor of Breast Caner Awareness Month, we attended an amazing event hosted by St. Jude Medical Center (their 21st annual fashion show), "Imagine...A Walk Among the Stars." The true"stars" of the show shared one thing in common, they were all survivors of cancer. These AMAZING women and men strutted their stuff down the runway, presenting beautiful garments provided by Macy*s. We were honored to be invited to this event by a very special "runway model", our dear friend Kari. Kari was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 29, and has been "strutting her stuff" ever since! She, along with Corrine and Erin's grandmother, Anne, have been extremely inspirational in our lives and have shown us when life hands you lemons, you better "squeeze" them and make the best damn lemonade you've ever had! All three of these beautiful, extraordinarily strong women have survived cancer, and we are so blessed to be on this journey in life with them.

Todays post is to show that fashion can truly heal, in making a person exude confidence, like many models of the show had done on Sunday! We thank them for sharing their stories with us. This is what TRUE beauty is......
