It’s almost Mother’s Day. The day where moms everywhere are celebrated.
Moms — they truly do color our worlds, don’t they? I know my mom colors mine.
There’s a special bond between mom and daughter. I tell most everything to my mom — she and I are also close friends. It’s a bond that’s everlasting and a kinship that’s unbroken.
There’s a wonderful project called She Colors My Day that seeks to promote the special bond between mother and daughter….all the while raising funds for breast cancer research.
The She Colors My Day project began when a mother named Annette, dying of breast cancer, created a keepsake for the four daughters she was preparing to leave behind. Annette sent a CD of she and her daughters singing to her many friends and family. Unbeknown to Annette, her act of love would be the inspiration for her friend, Cristina Carlino, founder of Project Miracle, to ignite the She Colors My Day movement.
I’m writing this post to help promote awareness of this terrific, intentional project among you, my readers. Wondering what you can do to get involved with the project? There are several ways:
~ Join the She Colors My Day Facebook fan page. On it, you’ll find a link to the She Colors My Day Facebook app where you can invite your FB friends to “color” with you…and pass the crayon around virtually to everyone you know!
~ Sing along! The “She Colors My Day” song co-written by Cristina Carlino and Stuart Mathis for Cristina’s daughter has been recorded by multi-Grammy award winner, Amy Grant. Download the “She Colors My Day Song” and video and help to support this organization. A portion of net proceeds from the song supports the She Colors My Day project, benefiting Susan G. Komen for a Cure ® Foundation and the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s/Women’s Cancer Research Group.
(Many thanks to MomSelect for letting me know about this wonderful project/initiative geared towards breast cancer research.)
