This is my own personal cause & for those that don't have one, they may want to think about donating to one of the Sarcoma
Foundations below. My mother passed away from a rare form of cancer called Lipsarcoma. It is one of about 50 subtypes of sarcomas that affect all age groups from the youngest to the oldest. It is a
"a cancer that begins in the muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue of the body". There is no cure & funding is low because of its rarity. As some of you may know,
the rarer the form of cancer, the less money that is usually allocated to it by the larger organizations or the NIH (National Health Institute) as well as fewer people donate because they just don't
know about it. This cancer just keeps coming back, grows back where it already was & spreads to other areas as well. You can learn more about it at these links.

I don't think it's possible to "love yourself first". I truly don't believe we are wired that way. We exist first, to be in the lives of others. To love more than we are loved. To give more than we give. If we fail at that, it's quite hard to still love one's self... Reply to this

Very interesting thoughts. I have to admit, I totally struggle with the love myself first concept as well. I try and meet myself half way - make sure I am not totally burning myself up but I am happier giving and loving others (as long as they aren't toxic). Reply to this

Only if an altered attitude is followed by action. Otherwise, the dream dies with the dreamer.
