hi there! i'm a young ovarian cancer survivor and actorvist/writer and founder of Bald Is Beautiful (www.baldisbeautiful.org -- come visit anytime! i'm open 24/7/365!). i am passionate about encouraging women to flip the script on the cancer experience, and know that with or without hair (or breasts or reproductive organs), their beauty and wholeness remain undiminished by the effects of having cancer. through bald is beautiful, i want to empower women to define their beauty & femininity on their own terms, and be proactively healthy in mind, body, and spirit. i am also dedicated to raising awareness about ovarian cancer and the vital importance of research towards developing some form of early detection (which does not exist for us -- and which is why ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of ALL women's cancers! betcha didn't know that!). thank you for reading and watching!

Celebrating my birthday and the new year with my twin under the New Moon in Maui, I was thinking a lot about Family. Family is what and who we make it to be . . . from parents, siblings, cousins to close friends to work colleagues, teachers to our doctors and nurses to the guy in the deli across from your apartment who knows you by name and always shares a smile and a "have a nice day" with you.

Family is community and we are surrounded by a loving, giving community, even when/where you may not expect it.

Reach out to your Family, whatever and whoever that means to you. Let them know how you feel about them. Infinite Support, Care, Compassion, and Love are right next to you if you open your heart and your eyes.

Wishing you all continued Strength, Courage, Health, Peace, Joy, Light, and Love in 2011 and beyond!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAU'OLI MAKAHIKI HOU!

(p.s. we only had one take to do this, so you may need to pump up the volume a bit extra . . . dig the sound of the Makena, Maui waves, though. YUM!)
