The cool nights and the crisp clear days along with the delicious aroma of

pumpkin pies are good indications that the holiday season is approaching quickly.

With so many changes in our economy, and many people in the coal fields losing

their jobs, and cut backs in all professions, it is the perfect time to start thinking

about giving. This season is the perfect time to make a your holiday ‘an attitude

of gratitude with giving.’ Show your gratitude for what you have by giving and sharing with others.

Voice Magazine for Women would like to give a big thank you to all those who attended the

Women In Business Conference in Abingdon, VA and shared ideas, tips and their businesses. It was

a fun event and the support was outstanding! A great success! We hope to see you there next year.

Our next event we hope to see you attending, is the Mistletoe Market in Abingdon, VA. There

are added twists this year with seminars, demonstrations and activities, so you will want to be there.

Please see their ad on page 12. Also, please visit the booth of the Appalachian Writers Guild and

Jan-Carol Publishing. Show your support to our local talented authors, and books do make

wonderful holiday gifts! (If you wish to order any books listed in Voice Magazine, please call us at

423-926-9983.)

As we move into the holiday season, it is important to support local businesses. The money spent

here stays here and it helps us all. We ask that you show your continued support to the businesses

advertising in Voice Magazine and support us as a small business.

We hope that you enjoy this month’s health issue focusing on Breast Cancer Awareness. Breast

cancer is a disease that is a concern for all of us. Most women will face this monster on some

pathway in their lives. A special thank you to Justice Elizabeth McClanahan for her willingness

and her time to share her story.

Thank you to all of you! We could not be here with you!

Looking Toward the SonBy Kelly McFadden

Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 KJV

Isn’t it amazing how sunflowers follow

the sun? This phenomenon is a result of the

sunflower being a phototropic plant.

Meaning the sunflower follows the movement

of the sun from east in the morning to west in

the afternoon. The flower constantly looks towards and depends on the bright,

radiant sun for life.

The Christian life should be like the sunflower. We should have our eyes

focused on Jesus. It is when we aren’t dependent on our maker or when we get

caught in the shadows of sin that we, like the sunflower, fade. The sun does not

move in the sky. It is the world that rotates and moves. In your life, no matter

how the world changes keep your eyes focused on what is constant—Christ.

We must always keep our eyes on the Son, our source of life.


Be Cool in Cooler Weather!

Provided by Jan Howery

Step into fall fashion with a repeat of your favorite

pair of boots or maybe purchase a new pair of the

‘brought forward’ thigh high boots or a pair of

glamorous motorcycle boots, all paired with trend

setting styles. Fall is full of peekaboo details like skin-

baring slits at the arms and shoulders of tops from sweet

to edgy. Designers have set this season with cutout

details, thigh-high boots and curve-hugging silhouettes.

Slits in SkirtsSkirt lengths are long and short but the biggest difference is the added slit

running up the side of the skirt. A great

ensemble would to be to pair a skirt with a slit

with black tights and a cozy sweater.

Leather LeggingsLeather, always a fall staple, has been seen

on the runaways this season but with a

different twist; leggings! A pair of leather or

leather like leggings is perfect for layering

with boxy button-downs and boyfriend

sweaters.

Dress for the Pajama PartySimilar to those elegant lacy slips found in your

grandma’s lingerie wardrobe, these luxurious lounge wear

pieces were featured all over the fall runways, proving that

a slip dress can be black-tie appropriate. A perfect fit with

satin loafers or ankle-strap heels for a look that's slinky

and sophisticated.

Cat's MeowLeopard spots never grow old, so there was no surprise

to see the feline print on the runway. Wear leopard pieces

with basics in gray, black and denim.

Scarf it upQuirky new scarf prints give a little personality to traditional looks. Scarf

designs are abstract and will be making fashion statements in cool designs.

Scarves will wrap you, drape you, and they are perfect for your shoulders or

just an easy attractive accessory.

Crop Jackets Crop Jackets are perfect for those fall days and cool evenings. Paired with

high waisted skirts or your favorite pair of jeans, crop jackets will take your

from work to evening with an easy transition.

Bold BaublesWhen it comes to jewelry for fall, bigger is better and chandelier earrings

are no exception. They work with a cocktail dress, but are just as chic with a

classic button-down and jeans. (glo.com)

Decorate your front door for the

new season that is on the threshold.

Warmly invite your guests in from

the brisk air using wreaths, twigs,

berries, vegetables and fruits you

love! Add a little color and texture

with browns of burlap, green moss,

or red leaves. Remember it is the

first thing they encounter when they come to your

home. Shouldn’t it be a reflection of what’s waiting

inside?

Here are a few ideas to beautifully decorate your

door on a budget and have a great time doing it.

Rake WreathThis is a great

way to re-purpose

an item that is no

longer in use, or

you can purchase a

new one for about

$10. After you

remove the handle,

you can paint it or

leave it as is. Add a

few flowers in

pretty fall colors, berries, or sprays using floral wire to

hold it in place. Top it off with a ribbon or burlap bow

or you may also want to wrap the bottom where the

handle was. Use the floral wire to create a loop from

which to hang.

Yarn WreathCreate a yarn

wreath with an

argyle pattern. This

is a simple wreath

that makes a big

impact. Start with a

Styrofoam or floral

foam ring and

choose two skeins

of yarn in

contrasting colors

for wrapping. You

will also need felt for your argyle pattern, flowers,

animals, or whatever you wish to decorate your yarn

wreath. Start by wrapping the ring with the yarn,

making sure you wrap the ring with even tension and

the whole thing is evenly covered.

Next, cut each color of felt for your argyle diamonds.

The number will depend on your size preference. Place

the squares on the ring so that you know they will fit.

Make sure the corners are touching, then glue them

down. After all squares are glued, wrap the ring with the contrasting

yarn at an angle. After you go around one time, switch and go the

other way around, crossing the squares from the other way, and

making an X across the squares. Once you have crossed all the

squares, carefully turn over the wreath and tie the end to the beginning

of the yarn. Leave it as is, or keep embellishing.

Indian Corn WreathThe Indian Corn Wreath gives off a

radiant look and the corn husks are

what gives it flair. Don’t overlook the

vital importance of the husks — be

sure to open them up and spread them

out. The only materials you will need

are a straw wreath, Indian Corn, and

hot glue. If you find the corn is too

heavy, you may want to use miniature

Indian Corn.

Next you will want to treat your corn

cobs with a dusting of Diatomaceous Earth to keep from attracting

bugs to your wreath or into your home. Diatomaceous Earth is sold at

hardware stores as a powdery insecticide that is safe for humans.

Pumpkin WreathThis wreath is very simple yet looks

so elegant. The only materials needed are

a wreath form, reindeer moss, miniature

pumpkins, and burlap. Simply attach the

moss to the form using spray adhesive,

hot glue the pumpkins on, and add the

burlap for a bow and hanger.

By Sarah Hutchinson

Justice Elizabeth McClanahan

E lizabeth McClanahan was born and raised in Buchanan County, VA. She

was a member of the 4-H Club as a child and holds the organization

close to her heart because of the many opportunities it provides for young

people.

Elizabeth graduated from William and Mary in 1980 and the University of

Dayton School of Law in 1984. She was an oil and gas lawyer as well as

general counsel for local companies such as Burwil Construction, Inc. and

Strongwell.

In April 2003, she became a Judge in the Virginia Court of Appeals. It was

just after beginning her second term in the Court of Appeals, when she was

elected as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia in August 2011.

Being a Virginia Supreme Court Justice has not been her toughest encounter

in her life.

The C-WordIt was Christmas Day of 2006 and Elizabeth McClanahan’s house was filled

with happiness and children’s laughter. Little did she know the next day a call

would come from the doctor, “You need another mammogram.” That can be

the beginning of the toughest part—the unknowing. What stage? Is it in your

lymph nodes? Will you need radiation? You just don’t know.

On December 26, 2006, Elizabeth had a spot compression and needle

biopsy. D-Day or Diagnosis Day came on January 3, 2007 when she

received a fax to her office with the results. “I couldn’t believe my

name and ‘carcinoma’ were on the same page. I was choking.” She

worked out, ate right, and did everything a healthy person should

do. How could this be happening?

Her best friend in law school, Mitzi, passed away of

sarcoma, so Elizabeth was able to work through her “why”

issues during that time. Now she was just able to focus on getting

better.

The next step was to make a plan for treatment: surgery (bi-lateral

mastectomy), reconstruction and chemotherapy. “I wanted to live to

be a mother to my children,” she passionately revealed. Her children

were so young, Lanz was 6 years old and Kate was only 4 years old.

When she lost her hair while undergoing chemotherapy, she began to look

for wigs. Children, being blunt as they are, will tell you exactly what they are

thinking. Lanz and Kate did not want their mom to wear a wig because it just

was not her. It did not look like the mom they knew, so she wore hats instead.

“I don’t think I touched my head at all the whole time I was bald,” she

remembered. Lanz would rub her head and say, “Mom, it looks like an oreo

sundae.” It’s the lighthearted comments of children that can raise your spirits

in times like these.

In the years since her diagnosis, when she or her kids get frustrated, their

new motto is, “Well, it’s not chemo.” That is their lighthearted way of saying

that what is going on is nothing like where they have been.

“During my friend Laura’s 9-year battle against

metastatic breast cancer, she coined the phrase ‘We

are not survivors, we are warriors!’” recalls

Elizabeth. The hospital staff even made her a

mold of a warrior mask for her radiation

treatments. Laura's mask was what all

radiation patients have made if receiving

radiation on a head tumor. Her friend Sarah

decorated the mask to be a beautiful warrior

mask of sequins and feathers. “As a result of

Laura’s sheer guts and determination, we

were blessed with 9 more years with her than we thought

we would have,” she remembers.

We Are Not Survivors, We Are Warriors


During all of this time of the diagnosis

and treatments and even after, Elizabeth has

looked to her friends, family and most of all

her faith. “I feel strongly about my faith

being a part of my healing and cure,” she

explained.

A New Love for Running

After the cancer diagnosis and treatments,

Elizabeth’s childhood best friend, Teresa’s

daughter, Allison, was going to run a 10-

miler in Lynchburg, VA. She suggested that

Elizabeth join her as a new way to celebrate

her survival. Prior to that race, she had only

used the elliptical, bike and stair master in

the gym. “I wanted to do anything I could to

prove I wasn’t sick,” explained Elizabeth.

Her sister, Becky, in Colorado suggested

she do a triathlon at the age of 50. The only thing was, she really was not the

best swimmer. “All I can say is, I finished it!” she laughed.

She was occasional runner spending most of her workout time on stationary

gym equipment until the diagnosis, now she tries to fit in a jog every day.

An InspirationBattling cancer is difficult, but being the mother of young children while

battling cancer can add a whole new set of worries. One thing she noticed

while reading literature on battling cancer and about other survivors, was that

she could find little information on mothers with young children. Elizabeth is

now working on a book of her own about her experience to help mothers with

cancer that have young children.

She would love to be a full-time Breast Cancer Coach someday to share her

story and help encourage and inspire more survivors.

Becky McClanahan kindly speaks about her sister, “She is the strongest,

most compassionate, and most hilarious person I know. Her journey through

cancer has been and continues to be a huge inspiration to me.”

During her investiture to the Supreme Court of Virginia, close friend and

colleague, former Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore said, “We already

know she’s a survivor. Cancer wasn’t supposed to strike someone like

Elizabeth McClanahan – she runs 15 miles a day. She is always energetic and

always working. She’s the epitome, if you look at her, of health. But it did

strike Elizabeth. We saw an even more determined Elizabeth McClanahan

during that time period. For many of us, we would have been held up in our

rooms and just praying that it would go away. Elizabeth continued to work, she

continued to help her kids, she continued to care about others in spite of what

she was going through. You never know why somebody goes through

this, but now I know so many women that Elizabeth has counseled to

endure breast cancer. That must be the reason. She’s a survivor.”

Recently after her birthday, her son asked, “So Mom, how does it

feel to be old?” And her response was, “It feels great!” She just had

her seventh birthday since her diagnosis. “I am just happy to have a

birthday!” she explained.

Clean your vehicle inside and out. Getting your vehicle washed and

waxed helps protect the paint surfaces from snowy bombardments, salt from

the roads, and it will also make snow and ice easier to brush off.

Make sure you can see. A winter storm is the worst possible time to run

out of windshield washer fluid or to discover your blades aren’t clearing the

windshield properly. Wiper blades usually last for about six months. Since

visibility is a key ingredient to safety, be sure to invest in some new ones, if

needed. Make sure the washer fluid is good to -20 F. Never use plain water.

It will freeze all over your windshield.

Ensure that your heating system is functioning properly. While

a functioning heater and defroster are necessary to keep the windshield nice

and clear, they also offer you shelter from the cold. Trust me; you do not

want to drive a cold car in the months to come. Also check that the rear

window defroster is working.

Having good winter tires on your car is the most important thing you

can do to ensure the next six months of worry free winter driving. The

condition of your car’s tires is critical during the winter. Braking, accelerating

and handling are all impacted while driving on slippery roads. Give yourself

an edge with great winter tires!

Get the antifreeze mixture just right. The ideal mixture of antifreeze

(coolant) and water inside your vehicle’s radiator is 50/50. Antifreeze is very

important to your engine. It cools the car’s engine, protects it from freezing

in the cold weather and is the key agent in providing heat inside the car that

keeps your toes warm. ALSO: Have the PH of the coolant tested after three

years. The coolant starts out as alkaline ph and, over time, turns acidic which

can damage the system.

October is the ideal month to prepare your car forwinter, following several months of hot conditionsand in advance of the colder temperatures thatwill soon take hold. Your car needs to be preparednow to avoid winter breakdowns, with you and/oryour mechanic handling several important tasksduring October Car Care Month.

1. Change your oil and oil filter. Few car ownersneed to have their oil changed every 3,000 milesor 3-months. Instead, follow your owner's manualto determine when the next oil change is due.Change your oil filter too and use this time to topoff your fluids, including your windshield washerreservoir.

2. Inspect your battery. Check the connectionsto your batteries and remove debris build up. Ifyour battery is nearing the end of its useful life, re-place it before cold weather sets in. Extreme tem-peratures can test your battery, leaving youstranded at the worst possible time.

3. Examine hoses and belts. A sure recipe for abreakdown are hoses and belts that are fraying,

splitting, worn or loose. Signs of wear mean signsof pending trouble. Replace as needed. Checkyour heating system too -- if the output of heatisn't strong, there could be a loose hose or belt.

4. Flush or top off your radiator. Follow yourowner's manual to determine when your radiatorshould be flushed. Check for leaks and resolveproblems before cold weather settles in.

5. Rotate or replace your tires. Tires should berotated every 6,000 miles. Inspect your tires forsigns of wear and replace them if they are worn.

Items to keep in the car:• Flashlight with fresh batteries.• Emergency kit. In the winter, a bag of cat litter

can serve two purposes: extra weight for snowy roads or to be used on the ice and snow roads for additional traction. However, it must be clay litter and not the clumping type.

• Never leave home without a fully charged cell phone and bring a charger to keep your phone fully charged while you're on the road.

Krazy Krepes keeps you coming back for more!

Been driving around and around for hours searching for a large variety ofcrepes to satisfy your taste buds? Just drive downtown Johnson City, TN!Located downtown on E. Main St., inside the Nelson’s Fine Art Gallery isthe best place in the Tri-Cities area to satisfy your appetite for a crepe.

Krazy Krepes opened in August, 2013. Angi and Karina, both fromGermany, moved to the US several years ago. As moms, they wanted to starta business that would be small, but continuous. For the past six years,Nelson’s Fine Art has had the Brew Plum Coffee Bar, offering lattes,smoothies, cappuccinos and coffees. The owner of the gallery, Dick Nelson,loved the idea of adding something different to complement the menu, coffeesand the art atmosphere. Voila! Krazy Krepes evolved .

I must admit, this is my first time ever trying a crepe and I absolutely loved

it! I had so many delicious choices in the offered varieties of savory crepesand sweet crepes.

The savory crepes include the Hillbilly, which is egg, cheese and sausage;the Skinny Italian, with fresh basil, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese; and theAmerican, with bacon, avocado, tomatoes, hot sauce and sour cream.

For the sweeter choices, customers can choose the Plain Jane withcinnamon and sugar, the Greek with Greek yogurt, mango (or other seasonalfruit) and brown sugar, or the Bananarama with bananas and nutella.

For my first crepe, I chose the French Kiss with strawberry filling,whipped cream and chocolate sauce. As soon as the crepe was brought to mytable, I could smell the sweet chocolate and strawberry aroma. The crepe waswarm and soft served with whipped cream that was light and fluffy and tastedas if it had been whipped from scratch.

Krazy Krepes uses fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, the pesto and artesianbreads are prepared in house. German cheesecake is also made in house whichuses sour cream instead of cream cheese. You can watch and drool since allthe crepes are prepared in front of you and customers can mix the crepes tosatisfy their taste buds. Gluten-free crepes are also available.

Not only are the crepes heavenly, so is the atmosphere! Free Wi-Fi isoffered in this very relaxing and quiet atmosphere with displays of local artsurrounding you. Krazy Krepes is open Monday through Friday 8:30 to 3:00and starting in October, they will open on Sunday.

Starting in October, Krazy Krepes and Nelson Fine Arts will be offeringmovie nights every Friday for those who would like to catch a good movieand enjoy some good food and coffee. For the wine lovers, Nelson’s Fine Artperiodically offers wine tastings for those who would like to bring a bottle ofwine, share and sample the different wines others bring.

If you would like a little taste of some European treats, stop by the KrazyKrepes. Support your local arts, two working moms, and the one and onlycrepe place in Johnson City! And don’t forget to tell them, Voice Magazinefor Women sent you!

NationalChiropractic

Health MonthDuring National Chiropractic Health Month this fall, doctors of chiropractic

(DCs) across the country will promote the importance of joint health and the

vital role physical activity plays in keeping joints healthy and pain free. This

year’s theme—“Get Vertical”—focuses on getting off the couch or out of the

office chair, and standing or moving more each day.

Most people nowadays know someone with joint pain, and joint replacement

surgery—particularly involving hips and knees—is commonplace. What many

do not know, is that simple lifestyle changes can help prevent the needing for

this type of surgery and keep joints healthier longer. No one is doomed to

invasive joint replacement surgery in order to remain active and pain-free well

into one’s golden years. A doctor of chiropractic can help by providing exercise

and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional advice, and natural approaches to

managing aches and pains. Just a few healthy lifestyle changes, over time, can

make a real difference.

In honor of National Chiropractic Health Month, the Chiropractors

advertising this month in Voice Magazine for Women offer these tips to help

you get vertical and stay pain-free:

• Stand up: Office dwellers can look into using standing desks or

treadmill desks; but if you’re stuck sitting all day, you can still stretch

your legs with a short walk about every 20 to 30 minutes.

• Take micro-breaks: Frequently stretch your neck, arms and wrists, back,

and legs. Simple stretches include neck rotations, fist clenches, arm

dangles, and shoulder shrugs.

• Get moving: You don’t have to work out like a pro-athlete, just aim for a

minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise three to five days a week.

• Eat right: A healthy diet—rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats—can

help reduce inflammation and joint pain.

Also limit red meat, refined sugar and white flour. Just a few simple changes

can have a positive impact on your health.

World Blindness Awareness Month and Home Eye Safety Month

Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you

can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. Follow

these simple steps for maintaining healthy eyes.

• Know your family’s eye health history. Talk to your family members

about their eye health history.

• Eat right to protect your sight. You’ve heard carrots are good for your

eyes. But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly dark

leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens is important for

keeping your eyes healthy, too.

• Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your

risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can

lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma.

• Wear protective eyewear. Wear protective eyewear when playing sports

or doing activities around the home.

• Quit smoking or never start. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for

the rest of your body.

• Be cool and wear your shades. When purchasing sunglasses, look for

ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B

radiation.

• Give your eyes a rest. If you spend a lot of time at the computer or

focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes

can get fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away

about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This can help reduce

eyestrain.

• Clean your hands and your contact lenses—properly. To avoid the risk

of infection, always wash your hands thoroughly and make sure to

disinfect contact lenses as instructed and replace them as appropriate.

October—National Audiology AwarenessMonth and Protect Your Hearing Month

Hearing loss is an increasing health concern in this nation that is often preventable.

While it is a common expectation that as people age they may lose some hearing, few

realize that hearing loss is prevalent among adults of all ages with half of the 36

million people in the United States with hearing loss under the age of 65. When

hearing loss occurs during the adult years, but long before old age, many tend to

ignore it and not enlist the assistance of a specialist. The sad thing is, when you avoid

determining if there is a problem, you also avoid seeking beneficial treatment.

Because of this, October has been identified as National Audiology Awareness Month

and Protect Your Hearing Month.

On average, most Americans don’t often recognize the first signs of hearing loss

which include: trouble hearing conversation in a noisy environment such as

restaurants, difficulty or inability to hear people talking to you without looking at

them, and/or a constant pain or ringing in your ears. Hearing loss can be caused by

a variety of things including: exposure to loud noises, ear infections, trauma, or ear

disease, harm to the inner ear and ear drum, illness or certain medications, and

deterioration due to the normal aging process.

The first step in treatment of a hearing problem is to get your hearing evaluated

by an audiologist. An audiologist is a licensed and clinically experienced health-care

professional who specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating people with

hearing loss and balance disorders.

Now is the time to have a hearing evaluation!


Breast Cancer RISK FACTORS

• Age. The strongest risk factor is age. Risk goes up as a woman

gets older. Most women who get breast cancer are older than 50.

• Personal history of breast cancer. Women who have had

breast cancer in one breast are more likely to get it in the other

breast.

• Family history. Having a mother, sister, or daughter who

has had breast cancer increases a woman's risk. The risk is

higher if her family member got breast cancer before age 40.

• Inheriting certain harmful gene mutations. Inherited ge-

netic changes account for about 10 percent of all breast can-

cers. If you have a relative who has a harmful gene mutation,

you may want to talk to a genetic counselor to learn more

about your personal risk.

• Certain breast changes that are not cancer. Women who

have certain types of abnormal breast changes, such as atypi-

cal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and lobular carci-

noma in situ, are at a higher risk.

• Race. In the United States, white women have the highest

breast cancer rates.

• Breast tissue that is dense on mammogram. Women whose

breasts have more dense tissue relative to fatty tissue are at a

higher risk than women of about the same age who have little

or no dense breast tissue.

• Menstrual and reproductive history. Getting your first men-

strual period before age 12 increases the risk of breast cancer.

Reaching menopause after age 55 increases a woman’s breast

cancer risk.

• Taking the hormones estrogen and progestin. Using

menopausal hormone therapy containing both estrogen and

progestin for more than five years increases the risk of breast

cancer.

• Radiation therapy to the chest. Radiation therapy to the

chest for the treatment of cancer increases breast cancer risk.

Risk depends on the dose of radiation and age of treatment.

• Body weight. The chance of getting breast cancer after

menopause is higher in women who are overweight or obese.

• Drinking alcohol. The more alcohol a woman drinks, the

greater her risk of breast cancer.

• Physical activity. Women who are not physically active

throughout life may have an increased risk of breast cancer.

Strenuous exercise for more than four hours per week may de-

crease risk.

• Breastfeeding. Women who have breastfed have a lower risk

of breast cancer.

• Pregnancy and Breast Cancer Risk - Hormone changes

during pregnancy may influence a woman’s chances of

developing breast cancer later in life.

Dr. Garieann Fish, Dr. Erika Grigg and Dr. Rathi Narayan, the only three board certified female gastroenterologists caring for adults in the Tri-Cities area, urge all women to talk with their doctor about when to start and how often to have a mammogram. They also want to encourage all women age 50 and older to fight colon cancer by scheduling a screening colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is the first line of defense against colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.

WE ASKED OUR FACEBOOK FANS:

If you are battling cancer or are a cancer

survivor, what are some words of wisdom?

“As a four-year survivor, I'd say: my experience with breast cancer was afour-alarm wake up call. I'm grateful

for the surgery and chemotherapywhich saved me to live the second halfof my life. But, I truly believe the onlycancer cure is prevention. There are far

too many toxins in this world. I'm giving my body a fighting chance by

filtering my water, consuming organicfoods, and thinking positive thoughts.God created a healthy natural supply

for us. Clean air, clear water, andchemical free food are my basic

prescriptions for a long and healthy future.” —Rose Klix

“I find that I like myself much better ‘healed’ than I did ‘well.’”
