Shweeew! It’s been a hot minute since I last blogged! It’s certainly not because I don’t love you guys. Things are hopping busy around For 3 Sisters, and the next thing I know, half a year has gone by! I’ll work on that. I promise! I pinky promise! I wanted to take this beautiful summer…
Read MoreWhen a gift is more than a present…
Gifts are a funny thing, ya know. Many people see gifts as something given to them, wrapped up in pretty paper and topped with a bow. Sometimes, people see a gift as having received money or charity or something they need but couldn’t otherwise afford. Ask me? I’d say those are more like…. well, presents. ​I’d…
Read MoreA Beacon of Hope…
Today was my first day back in the office after a much-needed week of rest and relaxation. Marshall (The Pink Fireman) and I took our first vacation together last week since we started For 3 Sisters six years ago. One of our dear friends gifted us a week at his family’s beach house in the Outer…
Read MoreThe Ring She’s Wearing Says it All….
Don’t let the twinkle in her eye or that beautiful smile fool you. Behind that smile lay a twistedly funny sense of humor and a ferocious, no-nonsense determination to beat her sworn enemy into oblivion. She was wickedly fierce, a whole lot of stubborn, a bit ornery, and undeniably determined that Metastatic Breast Cancer would not define…

When is a garden not a garden? When it’s a sanctuary. This weekend friends and family gathered at the home of their friend, Susan, to help turn an overgrown, lackluster flower bed and front porch into a beautiful respite garden full of love. Susan, a young single mom, was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer just before Thanksgiving…

A Tutu is more than a tutu when it makes an impact. Wait, what? What’s a tutu you ask? ​You know, it’s that fabric-y looking thing you wear around your waist — like a ballerina. Here — like this: Okay, okay so not EVERYONE wears a tutu quite like this guy does but that’s what…

Well, I guess I can believe it because things have been super busy and exciting around here, and I can finally make the official announcement! ​WE’VE OFFICIALLY OPENED OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS! Woo hoo!!! When we started For 3 Sisters six years ago, we worked…
Read More“I Have Had Enough…”
Have you ever taken a moment and asked yourself, “What’s my story?” Everyone has a story, and each one is unique—even your story! ​Here at For 3 Sisters, I’ve been privileged to hear the stories of many women who have been affected by breast cancer, though breast cancer is where the similarities end. Each story is different….
Read MoreScanxiety. It’s a Thang.
Scanxiety [pronounced scan-zy-it-ee] – have you heard of it? It’s a marriage of the words scan and anxiety, and it’s often experienced by those who have been diagnosed with cancer. It’s the anxiety usually felt by cancer patients before they go in for a scan (for example, a PET scan, CT scan, Mammogram, etc.) and a fear that…
Read MoreLet’s Call it What it is… Awareness vs. Support
I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while but haven’t gotten around to it. I talked about it with the awesome employees at WeddingWire back in October, and the conversation was eye-opening, yet I still didn’t write. But a recent game that’s popped up on Facebook has compelled me to write about it now. What…
