She Colors My Day

The She Colors My Day project began when a mother named Annette, dying of breast cancer, created a keepsake for the four daughters she was preparing to leave behind. Annette sent a c.d. of she and her daughters singing to her many friends and family. Unbeknown to Annette, her act of love would be the inspiration for her friend, Cristina Carlino, founder of Project Miracle, to ignite the She Colors My Day movement - a celebration of the never-ending bonds of mothers and daughters. The now worldwide She Colors My Day movement embarks upon a global journey to create for a cure. Inspired by a mother's infinite love, this ever widening circle of caring will benefit the Susan G. Komen for a Cure ® Foundation and the Entertainment Industry Foundation's /Women's Cancer Research Group biomarker project. Hear the story in Cristina's own words here.

I encourage you to visit the She Colors My Day site, watch the video of the song sung by Amy Grant, and feel inspired by it! When you purchase the song or download the video, a portion of net proceeds goes directly to She Colors My Day to benefit
Susan G. Komen, Entertainment Industry Foundation/Women’s Cancer Research Fund. This hits especially close to home to me because of the mother/daughter bond I share with my own mother and with my two daughters. When my mom was hit with a mystery illness a few months ago, I was scared that I might lose her and it made me appreciate the special relationship and friendship that I share with her. Watching her overcome it and use her strength now to get back to where she was before the illness is truly inspiring. Also watching how my daughters are growing up knowing how loved they are by me and others around them is inspiring. They are all the colors that make up my day!

You can also share the love on Facebook. The She Colors My Day pink crayon is a Facebook application created to be shared with those we love. The pink crayon can be virtually passed around on Facebook so we can all help to create for a cure.
