While LA is bleeding blue this coming week (World Series starts tonight Dodgers v Boston), everybody still has eyes on pink. Pink as in October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This month local businesses are supporting organizations that raise awareness for life-saving research, patient advocacy as well as raise funds to provide women in need with mammograms, breast health and self-breast-exam education.

Whatever color you decide to support (pink, purple, or the entire rainbow), know that it makes a huge impact.

If you are itching to get out of town (staycation, staycation) Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes is such an easy getaway from Los Angeles. As hosts of Terranea Turns Pink, the resort literally turns pink: chefs wear pink jackets, visitors dress in pink for yoga under the autumn moon (Oct. 24 at 7pm, $20 donation to Cancer Community Redondo Beach) and a pool lit up in the rosy shade. Get involved and visit Terranea this month. A portion of proceeds from spa treatments, golf rounds, room stays, pink cocktails (Pink Sling), a glass of ONEHOPE rose` and pink desserts support Cancer Support Community Redondo Beach and Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

TRUE Love

Today like any other day is the perfect opportunity to tell someone you love them. For many that may mean a significant other, a son or daughter, a friend, or a secret crush. While not often top of mind for those who don't have a caregiver in their lives, any person who relies on somebody else to drive, dress, feed, and give them daily care (or for some person you love deeply), everyday is the time to express your gratitude. My mother has the horrible disabling disease of the central nervous system - Multiple Sclerosis. She has been living with it for 30+ years. My family has seen her through many caregivers over the years including where she lives now, a full-care nursing home. I spend as much time as I can with her, but she doesn't rely on me for any of the physical care.
