Beautiful as always. Love being a woman ;-) and one of the greatest joys is the friendship of other women.

God created us with a unique beauty - may we grow in appreciation of it in ourselves and in others.

Smiles,
Rachel

What a wonderful way to remind women that having a mammogram is as, and more, important than those things that make our lives enjoyable. I hope your message is heard and heeded.

God bless,
Mary

Good morning Lorie,
Love your little poem! I don't know whether or not you receive awards, but I have one for you on my blog if you would like to stop by and pick it up.

Blessings,
Sandi

I tell you what, I am sure glad I wasn't born a man. I love (almost) everything about being a woman (I wouldn't mind being able to bear children without the drama of menstrual cycles and painful birthing). As much as I am glad I am not a man, I sure do love my husband, which is also the duty of a woman.

Being a woman is great fun. I'm gonna thank God when I get to heaven for letting me live my life in the old world as a woman.
