Spring is coming (eventually, I promise!) and it is time to dust off your walking shoes and hit the pavement. Not only is walking through your neighborhood great for your health, but how about raising money for breast cancer research at the same time?! Sounds great, right? It sure does!
We all know that my friends are amazing, and now they are demonstrating it yet again by forming a team for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day For A Cure! Brinley and Kara are the co-captains of the team, "Meghan Malley Rally"! I couldn't be more honored and grateful that they have decided to dedicate their time and efforts to this wonderful cause. This event will take place in the metro Detroit area on August 12, 13, 14 and involves walking 15-22 miles each day for a total of approximately 60 miles! Now, I know what you are thinking..."I cannot walk 60 miles!" But let me be the first to tell you - we are all capable of more than we ever give ourselves credit for! However, I do understand that the full 60 mile commitment might not be for everyone. But have no fear, you can still be involved and still help! The link below is the "Meghan Malley Rally" team page where you can click on a team members name to make a donation - it doesn't matter which person you donate to - maybe help the one that needs it the most since each participant has to raise $2300! In addition to your generous donation, we would love for you to come walk with us in August- even as an unofficial team member! I know that I will not be able to officially join the team myself and commit to being able to walk 60 miles, but I will be there each of those incredible days to walk with the team as much as I can and support them in any way possible. I know the team members, and myself, would love for you to come out and walk too. So, even if you cannot commit to the full 60 miles, you are still more than welcome to come support them that weekend and walk as much as you like or cheer them on from the sidelines! :) We would love for you to help out the "Meghan Malley Rally" team in any way you can. Please feel free to visit the link below to make a donation or for more information on the event. You can also contact my wonderful friends Brinley and Kara at their email addresses below.

I couldn't do it without you! xoxo, Meghan

Can't wait until August! I, unlike Brinley, haven't started training yet, but today is the day! I am so happy that we can do this in honor of you because, I know that if any one of us were in your shoes, you would do the same! Love you girl!

So many of our friends have completed this walk and said it was one of the most moving events that they have ever been involved in. One of these days, they will find a cure if we keep supporting research efforts and organizations like Komen. We won't be walking in this one but will support the team and will walk in the May 21 Detroit 5K walk

Dearest Meghan-Your faith, courage, strength, spirit and creativity have inspired me on so many levels. Hubby and I went to St. Therese Chapel at Shrine and lit a candle for you...we prayed long and hard for your recovery and we know she will shower you with tons of blessings and strength as you beat this! Got the boys on board too. They say God hears all the prayers of children-a direct link kind of thing. Loving your photography-wow-you have really grown as an artist since we first started talking photography at RIM. Love your lens-the clarity is amazing-worth every cent. Your eye for composing is something that can't be taught-you are a natural! Loved your website. Thinking of dusting off my lens and getting to work. Praying and thinking of you daily! We live so close to each other-anything you need-I'm there!! Go Team Meghan!!! You are truly amazing! XOXOXOXOXO

Meghan...Iam thinking of you at this very moment. I hold you up in Prayer. Whatever it is that you say to yourself today, let it be something good. tell yourself you look nice. Identify your good features and compliment yourself. Make a habit of beginning each day by telling yourself nice things. Let it be something that makes you feel good. As a child of God, treat yourself gently and tenderly. If you feel overwhelmed or anxious, ask yourself "what is it that I need". Perhaps a short break, something to eat or a catnap even. You may need a walk outside to stretch your legs, or a few moments in silence, listening to your thoughts. Hug yourself. Buy yourself a little gift. You are worth five minutes, three times a day. Think of yourself as a thirsty plant that needs watering. take these steps as often as possible. And I'll do my part, keeping you in Prayer, and being here if you need me.
