I have been so impressed with those who are fighting the battle so I thought to share this data. \u00a0It highlights the fact that it is prevalent among our girl friends, sisters, nieces, aunts, mothers and grandmothers – all women are affected. \u00a0We are touched by their healing process made possible through early detection. \u00a0We are the caretakers always giving – but we can only give if we take care of ourselves too. \u00a0Showing up to yoga class is not a luxury one has to feel guilty about. \u00a0Caring for yourself translates to caring for others. \u00a0The recharging and renewal is what makes us, women, recognize the divine light within, enabling us to share and give the gift of life and love:<\/p>\n
