Socializing sure has changed since my breast cancer diagnosis. Thanks to breast cancer, I'm now acutely attuned to the social habits of entering and leaving gatherings.

In an age when the business of health care seems to be squeezing the empathy out of patient care, Emotional Intelligence is an invaluable tool for helping medical professionals develop trust.

We all share that gift, the power to enhance the lives of those with breast cancer. What it takes is for us to offer our love, blessings and courage to those who need us.

The contribution of some companies to breast cancer begins and ends with slapping a pink ribbon on a label, keeping all the money you spend on their products for themselves.

Every single idea here is accessible, easy, natural and should be at the top of every woman's list. Wouldn't it be nice if we only wore pink because we liked it?

This is the 25th breast cancer awareness month. We are being asked to celebrate that fact -- which is symptomatic of the problem. Why do we try so hard to make breast cancer palatable, comfortable, pink?
