I have made changes to my blog once again. This time, besides just looking for a change, I have a purpose in mind.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer seems to affect more and more people each day. I hope to spread more awareness and education through random links and information within my posts (or in the sidebar) every once and a while throughout the month. Even if the color of my blog is enough awareness... I am fine with that!
Here's some information to start the month off:
Q: How many new cases of breast cancer are estimated in the United States in 2007?
A: New cases of breast cancer in the United states are estimated to be 178,480 (female); 2,030 (male). Of these an estimated 40,460 (female) and 450 (male) will die from the disease. (National Cancer Institute figures).
Q: How common is breast cancer in the United States?
A: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, aside from skin cancer.

Thanks for spreading awareness!
A very worthy cause for sure. Cancer has touched my family far too much already. That's why I wear a LiveStrong band all of the time. Great job spreading the word.
I love the look and definitely good information to get out there.
Thanks for the props...I only hope I have great stuff to post on Sunday or Monday.
