Good morning everyone!
I am starting to think that this is getting pretty scarey…..then I remembered how we have to live going thru breast cancer treatment…keep a low profile, protect yourself and stay home….just what we have going on now. We did it then, we can do it now!!
As you know our world at Driven by Heart completely revolves around our breast cancer gals….they come in, we help…they become strong and in charge of their own journey and keep going. Quite often at some point they circle back around…to say “Hi”….to volunteer somehow…to bring us something they thought would be helpful we didn’t think of…..or in the case this past week thinking about us and reaching out. One of our gals that had bc several years ago is sewing masks like crazy for anyone that needs them….she made sure Barbie and I had one….bright and colorful….our hearts were touched!!!
Have a great day….be safe…stay healthy….and stay tuned…we are working on a couple of things that will make you smile♥
We started Driven by Heart (Breast Friends of Florida) basically on my dining room table….for several months that is where everything was happening….and believe me when I actually had to use the dining room table for dining, it was quite a situation to get everything moved off from there….it was clear we needed a real place….but….we didn’t have any money. My neighbor suggested I go talk to Harry and Wendy Brandon because they were great folks and loved to help…..true statement!!! I had an appointment with Harry Brandon one day and over I went to see what we could work out. He and Wendy talked it over and very kindly offered a few months rent for free while we got our “fundraising” underway. We had 400 sq ft upstairs, in the back with a window…..we were beyond thrilled. It only took a few months for us to be able to make the rent and to realize we needed more room. Hibiscus Business Center is absolutely a perfect home for Driven by Heart….clearly….because in the last 10 years we have occupied 5 different suites including our current one which is 1800 sq ft!! All of our moves around the two buildings that are Hibiscus Business Center were not without humor….I would see someone was moving out and go peek in the windows to see how much room they had and then to see Wendy and Harry to see if we could move. The last time we moved Wendy smiled when she mentioned “this is the largest suite we have!” It is perfect….we are in the front corner with big windows facing Hibiscus Blvd……yes, perfect!! We even have a conference table now!! We are very proud of everything we have acquired thru hard work and much kindness from Brevard. All of this was going on while we were helping breast cancer gals and adding more to our programs!
Stay safe and keep healthy, looks like we will be at this a while longer.
Good morning everyone! Please don’t be afraid to comment on my ramblings about breast cancer etc…..as I rewatched the video yesterday I laughed and said to Barbie…it is a “wonder we are all aren’t confused after listening to that!!!” At least it makes for some laughing. I know we are all going a little stir crazy being home so much and I was trying to think about what to write today and I decided to take a left turn and just tell you about something that happened to me when I was going thru chemo.
I started chemo the beginning of December 2008….as much as I thought I had planned to have things done for Christmas in case I wasn’t feeling good…. a few things escaped me. My good friend (and road trip buddy) Deon checked in with me to see if I needed any help to finish my Christmas shopping…..yes, I needed a couple more things…I wanted to go to Cocoa Village to get some infused olive oil for my son in law Manny because he loves to cook…I had to have it. So Deon came and picked me up….off we went….we stopped at Murdocks for lunch (after she told them we needed a table by ourselves so no one got germs on me!! (good friend !)….then slowly we walked to the other end of Cocoa Village to the olive oil store…..why didn’t we drive down there? Hmmmm good question…we still laugh and wonder what we were thinking. We got to the store…I waited on the bench outside while she went in and got our stuff….
So, did I mention that I was also recovering from a bilateral mastectomy and couldn’t carry that huge shopping bag? Deon came out with two bags….now we are sitting there laughing because we (actually she) have to haul those bags all the way back to the car…..which Deon did….we rested at almost every park bench!!! We finally got back to the car and then home….I was exhausted but my heart felt happy because I had a great friend who didn’t mind going to bat for me, keeping the potential germs away and carrying all of my stuff home. So while the whole breast cancer thing is something we would all rather do without, it also brings love and kindness and a new way of sharing those things with your family and friends.
