Item Special Note
Thoughts: "Tootsie's Inspiration came from thoughts of a visible woman model I put together as a young girl. Then and now, I relate organs with positive qualities such as "Fortitude" in the intestines, "Soul" in the Thymus gland ,"Peace" in the heart, "Inspiration" and "Just Breathe" in the lungs, a "Strong" stomach, a will to "Live" in the Liver and to " Eliminate Cancer" in the Colon. Since thoughts are things and can bring manifestation, I believe they are critical in any challenge life throws at us.Cancer survivors have these qualities in abundance and focus on what really matters. Cancer is felt and fought on a visceral level .
The old school Swallow Tattoos holding the banner represent all races being affected...Within the Red, Yellow, Black and White banner are positive emotions which are key as to what Cancer can not do. The Swallows themselves represent Life and Death and the milestones in between. The necklace is a Saint Peregrine medal as he is the Patron Saint of Cancer. The words up her sides represent not only those afflicted with Breast Cancer but also the support system needed to sustain the journey. The words on the organs are reflective of the positive qualities that are essential for survival. Her skirt quotes the beautiful "What Cancer Can Not Do " . In dark times ,this true ray of light gives us something to keep us afloat in a Sea of Chaos. Cancer is so very indiscriminate and yet truly limited by United positive efforts."
