The Jar Needs Tickets

Photo: The Jar

 This is my raffle jar.

Each ticket represents a donation to 

Komen Race For The Cure, and early detection.

I would like to thank everyone who

has already donated to Komen and Team Believe.

I support Komen because they support early detection,

and am here today because of early detection.

I battled breast cancer twice.

Once in 2012 and in 2019.

Different breast and different cancer each time.

Even treatment was different each time.

Each tumor was caught early, in screenings.

(and thanks to the Onco DX Test, I knew the personality of my tumors)

Would you like to help?

Each year during the Dallas Komen Race For The Cure, I raffle off an item that I have made specifically for this event. This year, I made a paperweight.

For each $25.00 donated to Team Believe, 

you receive a ticket that goes into the raffle jar.

(and I mail you the other ticket half)

The raffle ends on Friday October 9, 2026.

You have 36 days from today to help support early detection and have a chance to win the paperweight.

If you are interested, please go to the link below,

Team Believe/Komen
 

I appreciate each donation.

If you cannot support us monetarily, 

we would love your prayers and support.

Better yet, please have 

your annual screenings.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.

(Please help me fill the jar?)

Robin's Book List-September

Barefoot was published July 2, 2007.

I found my copy at Half Price Book Store 

and read the first 50 pages 

before deciding that it would 

be my September book.

I have needed a huge distraction right now

and this book is it.

Barefoot

 Three women—burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues—tumble onto the Nantucket airport tarmac one hot June day. Vicki is trying to sort through the news that she has a serious illness. Her sister, Brenda, has just left her job after being caught in an affair with a student. And their friend Melanie, after seven failed in vitro attempts, is pregnant at last—but only after learning that her husband is having an affair. They have come to escape, enjoy the sun, and relax in Nantucket's calming air. But into the house, into their world, steps twenty-two-year-old Josh Flynn.

​

Barefoot weaves these four lives together in a story with enthralling sweep and scope—a novel that is as fun and memorable and bittersweet as that one perfect day of summer.

Happy September and Happy reading.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Dove

 

This is the street where I live....

and it has been over 100 degrees 

for 30+ days. SO HOT!

This summer feels like it is going on forever.

Yesterday, while Larry and I were 

coming home from doing errands,

there was one cloud in the sky and

it looked like a dove.

I really wanted to take a photo of it.

It was a sign..

to be kind.

I wonder who else saw the dove?

(now YOU have seen it)

Please take care today,

and share your joy....

Love you beyond the moon.
