Happy New Year!

If you're looking for a simple way to make 2009 better than 2008, I have just the thing for you! Meaghan, a young cancer survivor and owner of I Kicked Cancer's @ss, has started a new project called "Spirit Jump". The concept is a simple one. Cancer patients or their support folks email Meaghan to let her know that someone could use a little pick-me-up. Meaghan then emails her list of Spirit Jumpers. If there is a story that touches you, Meaghan will send the person's contact information to you. From there, you send a card or a small gift. The person feels better, you feel better and the world is a happier place for us all!

If you're interested in becoming a Spirit Jumper, go visit Meaghan and Stacy at Spirit Jump.

Rest in Peace...

A long time friend of the Michigan Breast Cancer 3-Day has lost her long battle at last. Please join me in sending condolences and good thoughts to her family and friends.

Keep her beautiful, fighting spirit alive this holiday season. Consider making a donation to the Komen Foundation, or another cancer charity of your choice.

Rest in Peace Michael Crichton
