I had an amazing privilege of participating in last years, Relay For Life. I was so touched by the survivors walk, a little boy running ahead of the pack... It struck a chord so deep, words cannot express. As the day continued of lap after lap, music rocking each of our feet along the track, a feeling of pure synergy fell over the mass. We walk in memory of Mothers, Fathers, Sons and Daughters - Friends. We champion the fight of those fighting the good fight and as a unified group we say, " Soon, Cancer will lose every day ". As we lit the luminaries in memory of those who lost their battles, and those that continue to fight, the track was lit all the way around. At about 10pm, we lost power, and it wasn't restored for the remainder of the night... Then, a sight beyond descriptive words; The lights from the luminaries lit the track for us to walk. All those that Cancer had waged war with, their life, was the hope that lit the path for the whole night. The word, " Hope ", was outlined on the hill..., and my heart overflowed.
I had a moment of contemplation one evening as I lay in bed, thinking about that amazing experience and I said to myself, " What can I do? ". Scentsy corporate had a Breast cancer cause warmer, and every dollar of the sales from that warmer went to the Breast Cancer foundation. It was all the inspiration I needed, I needed to organize a Scentsy team. So many people have come to use and love Scentsy in Grande Prairie and area, we, locally, need to give back. We have been given so much, let's advocate those that need more people in their corner.
