3rd Giveaway- the Renee Bracelet- Life and Death

Life and Death- This 3rd giveaway is influenced by a dear blog friend, Renee. Renee has Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), she is the same age as I am, and you can share her story on her web page here, http://circlingmyhead.blogspot.com/ . She talks about her real life and experiences dealing with this disease. I have learned a lot from this woman and consider her a sister-friend through the connection of the blogs and I love her.

This is a copper wire bracelet with Cernit polymer clay beads and each bead is made by me and the wire wrapping I did myself. It is wrapped and made with prayers, love, and good intentions for Renee, it has big JUJU kids.

There is also a condition to this giveaway and I trust you, on your honor for all that is good, that you will follow these rules before you comment on this post. Yep, this is the one; I am going to make you do tricks.

1. You will have to take the time to go and visit Renee's blog http://circlingmyhead.blogspot.com/ and read at least two of the entries. If so inclined proceed to show her the love.

2. You will have to offer up a prayer, a good intention, a loving or healing thought for Renee and her family.

That is all I ask, for together we are stronger and can heal and start to change this crazy world we have had a part in making. I believe in this and I want you to believe in you and your power to change things. There is nothing I can do to change Renee's situation but this and I do believe with your energy, we can help me do something. I do believe in magic, I do, I do!

The Renee award

The Renee award was created by Bella and Ces in honour of their friend Renee. In Bella's own words "this is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds it's way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."
I have been honored with another award and I am proud, very proud of the first one. But the 2nd is probably going to be the highlight of my blogging career, at least for me anyway. Some of you who have met me and know me, know that I have been involved with Bottles of Hope. I found something and a person that sang to my heart in so many ways, Diane Gregoire and her Bottles of Hope. The dynamic, positive, beautiful, and wonderful woman that I met in Connecticut at the Southern Connecticut Polymer Clay Guild would change my life for the better in oh so many ways. Thank you Diane for your gift, I have and will always treasure it.
Leigh Ross (thank you for fighting) and her Polymer Clay Central website have many pages of Bottles of Hope and this is the one I was at.
My own special and totally giving guild the San Diego Polymer clay guild is very involved in this program. We have many members and their families who have tackled this daunting killer of men and women. Our member Julie Downing is the woman with the hat sitting on my left. I miss you Julie. Thank you for fighting.
We have turned the BOH outreach into a cancer outreach.
My mother was diagnosed with Beast cancer in 2002 and is to this day a survivor. Thank you for fighting Mom, I am so grateful.
My sister in love (law) was diagnosed and died from breast cancer in 2004. Thank you for fighting Jill, I miss you sooooooooooo much!
This is only a small part of my story and so when the sweet Opps!DesperateBlogger gave me this Renee award I had no idea what a trip it was going to take me on that day. I am still a little raw from the trip. But I am so humbled by the blogs and stories I have read. Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of you, for enlightening my life with your stories. It has taken me these few days to even be able to talk about it and I love you Renee, you have another friend. Thank you for fighting. Bella and Ces, I hope I can be and have friends like you in my life, always. Bless you all. You have rocked this girls world.

Congratulations on 200 posts Opps!

This little acorn is humbled by oaks in her presence!!! I am soooooooo very grateful for being included in this group; I can not express it in words.
I am passing this on to Acorn/Oaks in my life, because life’s lessons come in some many guises. Life's gifts too.
