Stressless Voyager

Life is a journey.

Life is a journey, but sometimes it takes us to a place we'd rather not be. So we make the best of it and hope that by traveling a difficult path, we make it easier for someone else.

She could have been a mother, a sister, a wife, a good friend. We are all touched by women who have had breast cancer. Susan Goodman Komen was just one of many. Diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33, she died three years later, in 1980, at the age of 36. Susan's younger sister Nancy made a promise to her older sister to help educate others.

Since 1982, the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested 2 billion dollars for breast cancer research, education, and health services. Its iconic symbol, the pink ribbon, symbolizes breast cancer awareness, something that touches us all.

Think pink and contact Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Think pink, it matters a lot

Stranded on a Desert Island

Castaway

Desert Isle
The first adult book I recall reading as a child was Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Published in 1719, it is a time when English pirates like Blue Beard sail the Caribbean preying on Spanish galleons filled with gold. European audiences are curious about the discovery of the New World. Robinson Crusoe is the story of a castaway who spends years on a remote tropical island in the Caribbean, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being rescued.



A modern spin on Defoe's castaway is the 2000 movie drama, Cast Away starring Tom Hanks as a time-obsessed systems analyst for FedEx who plane crashes in the South Pacific leaving him as a lonely castaway. Hank's character confronts a world without time and must survive on the island using remnants of his plane's cargo.

If you were castaway, what would you want or need most?

It has been a hard day at the beach building a raft with sails using an ice skate as an axe. It is time to to relax in the Wave recliner by Ekornes.
