Boobies, Ta Tas, Hooters, Whatever...

There many words used to refer to breasts and no matter what they are called, one thing we all share is knowing someone who has/has had breast cancer. 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and in each city around the world there are activities to raise research funds and create awareness about this disease. My Rosh Chodesh spirituality group held one such evening as we gathered in comaraderie to share sisterhood, honoring those who survived/haven't. 

Besides listening to factoids shared regarding this disease and receiving a handout about breast examination, the evening was also used for some creativity and fun to decorate bras. These whimsical creations's  pictures will be submitted to UpLift, Hooked in A to DD, an international effort to create awareness of breast cancer. Each bra represents the 1000's of women who have been saved due to breast cancer research.

Here are some of our creations... Each received "Best in Category" and I know I won't remember all the titles. "Bare" with me...

No matter what you call them, we hope one day this disease which affects so many will be eradicated...
