Sheryl Crow for Senate

Began today reading the news. Ouch. Bad idea. Can it really be that bad out there? Seems that way. Hope Obama can make as much of a difference as Sheryl Crow.

Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow. Besides looking cool in print Sheryl is a hero to many women and most don't even know it.

So many woman who begin this journey thru surgery, chemo, radiation wonder how they will make it. It can be a long journey - a year or more- and may feel like three. But like most journeys it will end.

And here is where Sheryl (and Lance-but this ain't about Lance) shines on like a crazy diamond. Sheryl used the experience to focus on herself when need be, to get better, and then focused on everyone else. She became and remains the perfect role model for breast cancer patients.

Sheryl allowed herself to become the image of strength and hope and courage for woman. She went thru treatment without a public wimper and then went about her business. But now her business is helping in the fight. And she helps in so many different ways. Google her.

If you do google her you will find a ton of stuff about her helping and helping. City of Hope? She's with em. Changed her music after her experience. She basically let it shape her and she used it for the good - for herself and others.

I usually don't expound like this on this blog. Usually I offer advice. The only advice I can offer here is to think of Sheryl if you have breast cancer and I think it will help you get thru it and help you think of others at the same time.

Oh, and if I have to offer advice today it would be to go see "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and "Slumdog Millionaire".
