A woman I admire very much said something so simple to me when I was complaining about the state of mess in my house.. She said whenever someone was coming to her home — a home with five children in it — and she started to worry about how her home looked, she would stop and think: "Are they coming to see me, or are they coming to see my home?" It occurred to her that someone who would have a problem with her home looking like a family of seven lived in it wasn't really someone's opinion she cared about.  I'd love to say I embraced that wisdom immediately, but I didn't. Slowly, though, I have let go of some of the crazy things I believed must happen before people entered my front door. The first thing I let go was the dog and cat hairs. A sweep I did do, but would fret seeing a ball of hair fly across the timber floors.  Over the years, I've became more relaxed. Next, I didn't dust. Nobody said a word, and they came back again. 0.0.. :)

For all the ladies and to all men that may be reading this, my work decided to hold a charity event raising money for cancer. We actually called the event - 'Be Aware'. It was to raise awareness amongst the many and various branches of which I look after across Australia and overseas. Even for those countries that the subject may be taboo in some circumstances, we wanted people to become Aware.

If I asked you all do you know of anyone close to you that has passsed away from cancer or has cancer now, I would say the percentage of you all would be approx 90% would know someone that has Cancer. I know this is a scary topic and morbid in some cases, but the more people that become aware of their own changes in their body the better you all will be. The signals are there. We see changes everyday. You need to be aware to look out for them.

Believe me I am the first to put my hand up and state I hate going to the doctors, but realise it is a part of life and self checks and regular checkups from the doctors are vital to living a long life.
Some statistics for you: - The top five cancers are: - Lung, Prostrate, Colon, Pancreas, Liver. For women Breast and Ovarian are also high. So don't delay, if you find the smallest issue, yes it is a pain in the backside to line up and wait at the doctors, but it is worth the time, 2-3 hours out of your life every couple of months, is better than facing the chemo and radiation ward anyday.!!
