I’ve been given a challenge to make a video of all the people, places, things and activities that bring me joy. The process of thinking about this and making a list of all I want to include has been rewarding in itself. Then evaluating how much time I devote to those and re-focusing to include more of those in my life is the continuing challenge and reward. This cancer journey is a rough road, there is no arguing that, but you can find much joy along the way. Being purposeful about including joy in your life adds “life” to living. So I’d like to challenge you to do this same project, at least consider what brings you joy, make the list, evalute and live joyfully. If you like, share your experience here; we’d love to hear it.
Joyfully, Pattie Noel

Top Ten: Think Pink, Live Green Tips
One
Buy in season produce from local sources to minimize exposure to pesticides and preservatives.
Two
Buy organic sources of produce whenever possible, particularly produce with the highest pesticide levels (like peaches, apples, bell peppers, strawberries). Look for proper codes: USDA organic, 100% organic, and PLU codes that are 5 digits and start with the number 9, like 94011 (organic bananas). Select non-organic produce that’s grown with the lowest pesticide levels (like cantaloupe, blueberries, pineapple, green beans and broccoli).
Three
Wash all produce—to remove pesticide residues and dirt. Use cold tap water or acid solution (one part white vinegar to four parts water). Peel produce with waxy coating, like some apples and cucumbers.
Four
Eat your produce fresh or freeze in glass jars for other seasons. Refrigerate organic fruits and vegetables (except bananas) to make them last longer—since they’re grown without preservatives.
Five
Buy hormone-free dairy products and red meat. Limit the amount of red meat consumed to two or fewer times per week.
Six
Pick a variety of fish—small and large. The small to medium-sized fish: salmon, striped bass, herring, and tilapia, are healthier than the big fish: tuna, swordfish, and halibut.
Seven
Reach for simple, whole or fresh foods. Avoid or limit amount of processed food that contain tons of ingredients with little to no nutritional content.
Eight
Avoid or limit your consumption of high fat or fried foods and blackened-grilled foods.
Nine
Drink water or unsweetened beverages. Tap water is often cleaner and safer than bottled water. Avoid regular and artificially sweetened sodas, ice tea and lemonade—they have no nutritional value, they encourage sweet cravings, and don’t help you lose weight.
Ten
Cook in stainless steel, anodized aluminum, cast iron, ceramic or glass containers. Avoid cooking, baking, storing and freezing in plastic. Use a stainless steel or aluminum water bottle. Avoid use of #s 3, 6, and 7 plastic bottles (the number appears in a triangle on the bottom of the bottle) because they can contain potentially harmful chemicals like bisphenol A.

PRG would like to help Young Women attend the Young Survivor Conference (YSC) this February in Atlanta GA. If you are interested in attending this wonderful conference and would like that have part of your expenses paid please let us know. Just tell us a little about yourself and why you would like to attend and we will sponsor as many women as we can. It’s that simple. These Scholarships are open to all regardless of your stage of diagnosis.
Send your short essay to Andrea at andreabashor@gmail.com by Dec 20th.
Well let you know around the First of the Year if you have been selected.
To learn more about the conference please go to http://www.youngsurvivorsconference.org/ the conference also has Travel Grants available that you may apply for as well.
In additional to our PRG Scholarship a special Scholarship is available to Stage 4 Surviviors
| Announcing the First Annual Anquionette Williams Memorial ScholarshipAnquionette was a PRG Member who was diagnosed stage IV and found an immense sense of comfort and comradery from the multitude of supportive young women she met every single year at the YSC’s young survivors conference. Anquionette lost her battle with breast cancer on Saturday, September 26th. Although Anquionette isn’t going to be at the next conference with us her amazing spirit and her memory lives on through this memorial scholarship. This particular scholarship is designed especially for any Stage IV member of PRG. Two stage IV members will be supported by the scholarship for the 2010 calendar year in addition to the usual conference scholarships offered by PRG.
The Young Survivors Conference boasts a special set of educational and supportive workhops designed not only for Stage IV women, but special tracks also designed for their caregivers and loved ones. These workshops will network you with hundreds of other young women much like yourself who are going through the same thing as you are. If you are Stage IV and you’ve never been to the YSC conference please consider applying for this scholarship being offered by the Pink Ribbon Girls. |

I have officially launched my new blog called Miracle Survivor. The blog will share stories from my upcoming book, From Incurable to Incredible: Cancer Survivors Who Beat the Odds.
The blog will offer information on keeping healthy in mind, body and spirit and promising developments on the cancer front that come my way. I\\\’m hoping to have some guest blog posts from experts and podcasts with miracle survivors. Most of all, I\\\’m seeking other \”miracle survivors\” for my book and/or to share with others on this blog. If you have time, please visit and let me know what you think! The address is: www.tamiboehmer.com.
Thanks so much!
Tami
