I'm a Mascot!

Frequent posters Jemma and Jo-Ellen, and beloved lurker Cousin Martha, have asked me to be their mascot for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk on May 31-June 1 in Chicago. They invite all of you Chronicles readers to join them, support them, and cheer them on as they undertake this incredible feat. Please take a second to check out their Team Lynn website:

Avon Breast Cancer Walk: Lynn

Many of you have heard me say that one of the things that gets me through this experience is my bargain with God, the Goddess, or whatever higher power might be listening: I will have breast cancer, but spare my loved ones. Let me take this one for the team - my brother, sister, cousins, nieces, nephews, mother, aunt, friends, colleagues. But please, please, protect the people I love.

The money Team Lynn raises will be used to provide mammograms to women without regular access. I am deeply honored that Jemma, Jo-Ellen, and Martha have taken on such an audacious undertaking to save lives in my name.

The Worryphoon

Just a reminder, gentle reader, that sometimes you have to step back, breathe and get a new perspective. It's going to be ok.
