The Breast Views Blog: BODY IMAGE, WEIGHT, AND SIZE

Thanks to publishing the Breast of Canada Calendar and writing My Menopause Blog, my understanding of the body...my body....women's bodies has expanded. I've come to believe that much of our quality of life hinges on our own body image.

Feminist.com offers many interesting points of view on body image. This link leads to an excerpt from the "Body Image" chapter of one of my all time favorite books, Our Bodies, Ourselves for the New Century.

The Breast Views Blog: Calendar Girl

For those of you who follow the Calendar Girl Blog, my first baby of the blogosphere, I've moved. Given Calendar Girls attempt to shed light on the publishing process required for the Breast of Canada calendar, it seemed fitting that the blog be attached to the calendar website.

And so with a flick of his nimble fingers, Dave, my Barking Dog mover of blogs/urls guy did the dirty and voila, quicker than I could get home to check, Calendar Girl was moved in and unpacked.

You can go here to see. Or you can take this url [http://calendargirl.breastofcanada.com/] and add it to your blog roll and carry on with your day. Heck, you can do both.

Both would be good.

The Breast Views Blog: Run, Walk and Roll for Cancer Prevention

Liz Armstrong, one of the Breast of Canada calendar writers is in the final stage of training and fundraising preparations for the Run, Walk and Roll for Cancer Prevention.

In Liz's words, "Every year, 150,000 Canadians hear the numbing words, "You have cancer," and their lives - and the lives of family and friends - are forever changed. Despite some welcome progress on treatments to extend life expectancy, each year cancer kills 70,000 people in Canada. These aren't just statistics - they are mothers, friends, younger brothers, co-workers, teenage daughters, grand-dads and neighbours. Part of the tragedy is knowing that well over half of all cancers are preventable - but less than five per cent of our cancer dollars are focused on prevention. Canada needs to act swiftly on a comprehensive cancer prevention strategy that eliminates avoidable carcinogens from our homes, workplaces and the environment-at-large. We all have a right to clean air, pure water, healthy food and safe jobs.

If these words resonate for you AND you would like to help Liz cross the finish line with her pledge goal met, click on the above run link and make a donation.

I did.

The Breast Views Blog: Bras


Charmode Marvelift Bras
Originally uploaded by AZAdam.
Good grief. I suspect these contraptions are also known as bullet bras based on their ability to lift, separate and shape the average woman's breast into a torpedo.

They're all smiling, but I suspect it's the 'white lie smile' that women are famous for.

Remember....wearing a bra is an option not a requirement.

This wee lass is a breastfeeder. Not only will her risk of getting breast cancer be reduced thanks to her feeding habits, but so will her moms. Now that's a great Mother's Day gift.

Please support and encourage breastfeeding.

The Breast Views Blog: Cure Fondation

National Denim Day is coming up on May 16th. Created as a fundraising event for breast cancer by the Cure Foundation, all you have to do is donate $5.00 and wear denim.

Pretty simple to participate. And $5.00 should not be hard to part with.

The Breast Views Blog: Ovarian Cancer

If I may draw your attention to the lower regions of your body, this campaign deserves your attention.

TURN UP THE VOLUME! claims its aim is to help familiarize you with the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Always good to be able to see the signs. Even better if you can read them.

The Breast Views Blog: Diva Cup

Available since 1930, the Diva Cup is a reliable form of feminine protection. When you consider how much toxin goes into making paper fibre, which of course forms the base of pads and tampax, the Diva Cup is a fine alternative. Reducing your body burden of toxins seems like a common sense approach to reducing your risk of all kinds of cancer.

You can also find organic FP products in most health food stores.

This and a good sense of humour will keep your feminine protected.
