The Moods of the Color Pink

They say that different colors create a different mood, Red = Excited, Blue = Calm, Orange = Daring, Gray = Bored. This past Saturday, Pink was the color that painted the streets of Daniel Island and in many cases Pink reflected many moods and feelings that were felt by all – Hope, Fear,Victory, Sadness, Courage, Love.

For the 8th year in a row, Daniel Island residents and businesses hosted the annual Susan G. Komen, Race For the Cure to show their support for those who have been personally touched or know someone dear to them who has been touched by breast cancer.

For me, the names that come to my mind as an inspiration have deeply touched me, directly or indirectly with their battle, they have left their mark on me. I have seen them run with courage, their family and friends battling beside them and they have inspired me to cherish each day I’ve been blessed with on this earth.

In celebration of Donna’s life, many poor families in a remote village in India have been and continue to be touched by her beautiful life as a foundation was set up in honor of her name – her legacy lives on. In my dear friend Sara’s life, who carried out her dream of starting her own sewing business, because of the love for sewing and the talent that her amazing mother passed along to her – her mother’s legacy lives on. Sandy, a family friend and mother of four who battled and is reminded daily of this disease by the scars she carries on her body – her hope lives on.
