Dr. Angelou once said, "As soon as healing take place, go out and heal somebody else." It is with that thought that I, Jasmine Bridges, Ovarian Cancer survivor, started this blog. It is my hope that this blog will be a gathering place for women to learn, share and overcome through personal accounts of survivors and overcomers of any issues affecting the "total" woman. Let's remember, "the I in illness is isolation and the crucial letters in wellness is WE” -Author unknown

World Ovarian Cancer Day
Today I want to honor mothers across the world, Happy Mothers Day! I want to call special attention to my mom who went out shopping yesterday to pick up teal ribbons to represent World Ovarian Cancer Day and to celebrate me as a survivor although its her day. I appreciate her selflessness and prayers. It is with this I want to pause in honor of both Mothers Day and World Ovarian Cancer Day.
The first World Ovarian Cancer Day took place May 8th, 2013. It is dedicated to creating and raising awareness about ovarian cancer, the women’s cancer with the lowest survival rate for which there is little awareness and no cure. On this day, ovarian cancer awareness organizations from across the world worked together with a singular focus and message for ovarian cancer and its symptoms.
World Ovarian Cancer Day will take place on May 8th each year.
