“Pink October" Movement

Today, I finish the round of articles related to cancer, in the context of the "Pink October" movement. This important movement originated in the United States of America, during the 90's of the twentieth century, to inspire change and mobilize society to fight against breast cancer. Since then, all over the world, the color pink is used to:

- Honor women with breast cancer.

- Raise awareness of prevention and early diagnosis.

- Support research in this area.

The main events related to this initiative are:

- October 13: World Day for Metastatic Breast Cancer

- October 15th: Breast Health Day

- October 30th: National Day for Breast Cancer Prevention

Five years later

Five years later, I can talk normally about this subject. I try to lead a more meaningful life.

In a way, I feel that cancer was an ordeal to bring out the best in me.

Today I focus my attention on what I consider to be truly important.

- I follow all the recommendations of my doctors.

- I exercise regularly.

- I pay attention to what I eat.

- I drink more water.

- I stay away from conflicts and toxic people.

- I deepen my spirituality.

- And, of course, I keep my creativity active, and you will have access here on the blog and social networks.

I can tell you that I have gone through numerous and profound internal changes. I am far from who I was.

I am far from who I was

I am far from who I was,

When evil took hold of me,

Once a beast,

Today, a sweet jasmine.

Troubled metamorphoses,

Deep transformations,

Facing life new poses,

Beware of my emotions.

Light and hopeful,

For everyone, the future is uncertain,

I accept this pink phase,

It's all right!
