we watched our beautiful niece and her husband exchange vows of their own.

Back in February my brother {Ron} posted a Facebook status on my mom's first day of chemotherapy, and in his status he coined the term "Team Teal." {Teal is the color that represents my mom's type of cancer.}Several weeks ago, I offered up a little giveaway {with strings attached}. The deal was that I would send the recipient a teal cancer awareness band, and that recipient would in turn reach out to my mom in prayer, thoughts, spirit, email, snail mail, or blog post for her birthday. My intention was to create a circle of thoughts and prayers that wrapped around our planet. I wanted blessings coming at her from every direction.And you know what? It worked.I sent seven teal bands to England, one to Ireland, one to Australia, and eight to various parts of the United States. I also passed out teal bands to my Arizona family, my work family, and my local friends as well.The response has been overwhelming. My mom has already been delighted to receive several lovely handmade cards from all over the world. These have helped to brighten her days when she has really needed a lift. And for that alone I am extremely grateful.So today, as we celebrate my mom's birthday, I want to thank each of you who have sent thoughts and prayers and good tidings to my mom and our family. We are touched and humbled by your kindness. Some of my sweet blog friends are participating in a birthday-link-party for my mom. At the end of this post you will find links to those who are joining in today. {Thanks SO much, ladies!!!}and Happy Birthday to my amazing mom, Marti!!!
