Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear that April. I've wondered how you have been. I hope you re-open Fridge Box…I loved the idea, concept, store, etc.!!!

The book sounds great, thanks for the link. I'm glad you left a comment and I hope you are doing better.

OMG, Sommer, did you know I just beat breast cancer??? Stage 3A, I was lucky, it was in my lymph nodes but nowhere else. I can't believe you just posted this!

I had to shut down Fridge Box following the bail-out (it's a long story) but am hoping to re-open it in the future.

My latest endeavor is a book (not about cancer, but about navigating disaster and rebuilding optimism) called RECIPE FOR LEMONADE (What To Do When Life Gives You Lemons) – you can read it for free here: http://www.authonomy.com/ViewBook.aspx?bookid=1…

I hope you are well honey and if you know anyone who needs advice or support with regard to the Big C… I'm here.

I love this post! And I share your hopes. We can't be complacent, we need to fight. I believe that every time I buy handmade toys or organic food or non-toxic cleaning products, I am voting with my dollars, and sharing a message about what kind of world I would like to see. If enough of us make the same choices and statements, the market will surely follow us.

Wonderful post! Having watched my best friend’s mom die of breast cancer and my husband’s grandpa die of lung cancer I know all to well what cancer does to everyone around the person.

What a great letter – I absolutely believe moms have a major impact in the fight against cancer. We are fighters and eventually, we will prevail. Thank you!

Sommer, what a great, creative post! I love your fighting spirit and yes, I agree that as we become more aware and reduce our use of toxic products and clean up our environment, we will really win “teh war” against cancer. Thank you so much for this great contribution to the Green Moms Carnival!

Love you letter. Cancer is evil but it can't take away our power. We have the power to say no to toxic chemicals and to push for reform in the chemical industry.

Wow, I just noticed that Diane said the same thing. Two great minds think alike.
