Last week, I attended a business function with my husband. As we were getting ready to leave, a woman I have known thru a few business groups came up to me and said, I just have to tell you something. She went on to say that she was looking at Facebook the few days earlier and saw one of my posts. It was the one where I said I had gone for a mammogram and urged my friends to check to see if they were due as well.
She said that when she read my post, it made her think. She went to look at her calendar and realized it had been more than a year, since she had last gone for a mammogram. She picked up the phone and made her appointment.
I was so glad that she shared her story with me and to know that my posting had made a difference in her behavior. It just goes to show that we never know when someone will hear our message and take action.
So, bottom line, keep sending out messages day after day. Tell your friends, urge them and congratulate them when they take action. Together, we are making strides against Breast Cancer.
