Earlier this week, I mentioned a blog that I follow religiously- Lil Blue Boo. The author is a mom, a wife, an amazingly creative DIYer, and a business owner of a handmade clothing line- Lil Blue Boo. Ashley is in the midst of a fight against a nasty cancer (Choriocarcinoma) caused by a molar pregnancy. This discovery came after the heartbreak of her dad's untimely death and a subsequent miscarriage. While looking through her dad's things, Ashley found a slip of paper that read "choose joy." This is exactly what Ashley has done, and she encourages her friends and acquaintences to do the same.
Ashley has been through a great deal in the last few months: loss of her father, miscarriage, heartache, discovery of cancer, surgery in which she began hemorrhaging and had to have a hysterectomy, and the realization that this cancer is chemo-resistant. Through all of this, Ashley continues to 'Choose Joy'. She starts a new round of ΓΌber-aggressive chemo tomorrow and is researching alternate treatments. My heart goes out to her as I'm certain this must be a financial strain. Friends of Ashley have formed Team Ashley. :) On February 27-29 Team Ashley will host an auction benefiting Ashley & her family. I'll post more info as it becomes available.
*See the button posted to the side. :) It links to a PayPal account for Ashley as well. Any donation big or small will help.

Peace,
Ginger
