Thoughts in Shades of Pink

This weekend I have am working on a mixed media piece that is totally in shades of “Pink”. It is in honor of Women who have battled with cancer. Either in the past or present.

Although pink is the color commonly associated with ‘breast cancer’. I have chosen to use it in honor of all women sufferers of cancer {all kinds of cancer.} As it is also the world renowned color for the female gender.

My piece is in recognition of the women in my life and in the lives of those close to me who have been touched by the horrors of cancer.

Either on a personal level or as one on the outside looking in.

As many of you may know one of my own sisters is a survivor of cancer. So I personally am dedicating this to piece to her.

Last year shortly after losing her husband to the battle of lung cancer my sister Bobbie was herself diagnosed with it. Thankfully though it was early enough for treatment and as a result had 1/3 of her lung removed. One year later she is doing well. Thanks be to God.

Here’s to you Bobbie. I love you.

I am sure that there are many of you out there who can relate to my story. Those who may have loved ones {both friends and family} who are either fighting this dread disease or who have sadly died from it.

And so I dedicate this piece to you also.

Or perhaps you are the one even now, who is having to hold your sword up. Fighting the good fight of faith against this Goliath, that is facing you head on with accusations of annihilation.

If this is your story I want to let you know that even as I am working on this piece I am thinking and praying for you. Dedicating it to you also.

So whether you are personally battling or you are standing in the gap for someone else. I want you to know that my heart is with you. I hope you can feel the strength of my prayers holding you up.

Love Peace and Joy, Firedancer aka Soroya
