Corrie_WinnerThank you to EVERYONE who participated in our Wall2Wall Facebook Contest and for those of you who “weighed in” and VOTED!  The contest ended at midnight central time last night, BUT there was a TIE, so I asked my mom to cast her vote this morning and here are the winners:

1st Place:  Michelle VanBrunt Slough – WON a $75.00 Gift Card to Nordstroms

I AM KEEPING IT PERSONAL TODAY BY talking to those in line waiting for the bus with me instead of listening to my music. I find that we all pretend that we’re in line alone, so I will start conversations.

2nd Place: Megan Vanbrunt-Sullivan – WON a $25.00 Gift Card to Starbucks

I AM KEEPING IT PERSONAL TODAY BY asking people about their day and actively hearing the answer.

CONGRATULATIONS Michelle and Megan!!

To show our appreciation to the others who participated, but didn’t win, we will send you a $5.00 giftcard to Starbucks, ENJOY a coffee or treat on us!!

Again, a BIG THANK YOU to all our fans ~ we are truly inspired by your comments, messages, and grateful that you’re sharing Keeping it Personal with others in your world.  We appreciate you suggesting our Keeping it Personal Fan page to others.  Stay tuned for another FUN contest coming SOON!!

Keeping it Personal,

Teri and Leah

Daily KIP: Sometimes we face predicaments where the most obvious solution might cause us to compromise our standards. The right solution may not be the easiest and we may actually feel like we are “going against the grain”. But, think of this……..the biggest losers are really winners.

Daily KIP: Love your enemy. When the opportunity presents itself for you to defeat your enemy, that is the time which you must NOT do it. This can be VERY difficult!! How do we do this? Consider this: Begin with yourself – analyze SELF – look in the mirror. “Why worry about a speck in another’s eye when you have a log in your own?” Matt. 7:3

Daily KIP: Don’t take anything personally – Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. ~Agreement 2 don miguel ruiz

Daily KIP: Always do your best – Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. ~Agreement 4 don miguel ruiz

Daily KIP: On what are you placing your value? Are you placing value on things that really matter, or on things of appearance? The surface, the position, the status, the bank account and so on…. Put your value on the condition of the heart. Of truth. Of relationship. Without these, nothing else matters.

Do you know your breasts?

By leah | January 31, 2010 | Posted in beautiful, change, children | Tagged , , , , , | Comments (0)

rib4My husband called me last week to inform me that one of our very good friends has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is my age, also a nurse (ironically, she works in a breast cancer center), and is also the mother to 2 beautiful children. She is one of the kindest, most beautiful woman I know. Too close to home. She will be having surgery tomorrow, and shortly thereafter beginning a course of chemotherapy. I’m afraid her story is not unlike many other women who each and every day are handed this diagnosis. In fact, according to the CDC,  In 2005 (the most recent year numbers are available)—

186,467 women and 1,764 men were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Fortunately, it appears as though she caught the tumor in its very early stages due to a self breast exam. In fact, the mamogram they did following her detection did NOT even pick up the tumor. It wasn’t until they did an MRI that they were able to see this growth. Please take this as a reminder that nothing can replace our own self breast exams. I have heard it a million times. But until now, until it has affected someone so close to me, I was pretty lazy about it. Don’t make that mistake. I am just thankful that my friend was so diliigent.

The American Cancer Society provides instructions on their website on How to Perform a Breast Self-Exam, click here.  There is much more information on their website: www.cancer.org
