While my body has not been touched by breast cancer, as a woman, my life is touched by the stories, struggles and victories – large and small – of those who I know and love who have heard the words and done what had to be done. Their courage is worked into these works of heart and art. Through these pieces I honor them, celebrating what they found through loss. They are fierce, wise and luminous – knowing such darkness, forced to embrace its lesson, choosing to live. They are all the more beautiful because their souls shine so very brightly.
