  Pink Saturday Featured Blogs

  
  

• Coralie at A Vintage Cottage Home

In my blog A VINTAGE COTTAGE HOME, as a lover of all things vintage, I write about our cottage home, inspirational decorating, and vintage finds.  I have many additional interests such as reading, writing, and arts and crafts.  I write about these interests as well as about family, friends, my love of animals - especially my little shelties, nature and hobbies.  I have written two books of memoirs and am currently have a giveaway of one of my books so I hope all will come and enter!  I am a strong supporter of women and teach classes for a local university specifically about issues women face in our world today.  It is so important for us all to share and support each other, and I think Pink Saturday is a great way of bringing women together.  Thank you Beverly for continuing to host this marvelous event which provides us with a gathering place each week!  Many thanks!  Coralie

• Marcia at Vintage French Hen

Thank you Beverly for allowing me to participate as a featured blogger on such a special Pink Saturday!  Pink Saturday is joining Kelee at The Katillac Shack for Colette's Miracle Makeover.  After reading about this very inspirational story, and Colette's recovery, I couldn't help but reflect on those who have inspired me in my life and would like to share them with you here today.  Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  I love your sweet comments and visiting others who have the same passions for reusing, reinventing, re-purposing...and the color pink too!

• Marilyn at Unshelved Words

Thank you Beverly for featuring Unshelved Words on this Pink Saturday!  I am especially thrilled for my blog to be in the spotlight on this particular day because we are celebrating Pink Saturday's Miracle Party.  When you visit my blog, you will read a personal story that tells why Colette's triumph over cancer is so special to me.  Isn't that what blogging is all about?  It's about sharing and relating to a much broader world than the local neighborhood.  Since January, 2009, I have enjoyed sharing the written word, decorating, art swaps, and gardening posts.  I have met so many wonderful friends, many of whom have stayed connected.  When I penned my first post, I had no idea of the potential for connecting.  Quite honestly, I imagined a "flash in the pan" attempt at a few posts that would soon fade away.  Now, over 500 posts later, Unshelved Words has become my special diary that is open for all kindred spirits to peruse.  for everyone who has visited or will visit my littler corner of the "Blog Library," a heartfelt thank you!  I look forward to traveling to your "nook," too, so please leave your comments so that I can find you on the road of sharing.  Happy Pink Saturday!

****************************

Pink Saturday is indeed sharing in a very special event today.  To make this time even more meaningful, we have offered the opportunity for Pink Saturday participants to share an inspirational and uplifting personal story.  As you visit the blogs of those participating today, you will have the honor of touching the hearts and souls of those who want to share.

I grew up in a Christian home, and I've always had a strong faith in God.  But, like so many, I liked to feel I was in control of my life.  It is often those very difficult times in our lives that teach us that we really aren't in control.  It is those times when we finally accept that our lives are in God's hands.  God has always been there for me, and carried me when it felt like life was so hard that I had to remember to breathe.  I believe God gave us the knowledge to make wise choices in our lives, and He stands with us as we live each day.  It is my life philosophy that we can mark our success in life by what we do to make each day better for others.

You know how at work you have "work friends".  Those are usually the people you work with every day.  And, you know how if you stop and think about it some of those "work friends" are different.  As we work each day, we realize that some of our "work friends" are very special.  They are the ones that always have a smile to share, are always willing to lend a helping hand, and will take the time to listen when we need a friend.  About eight years ago, I had the pleasure to work with just that kind of man.  He was one of those special people that made our days at work better.  I believe you could have asked anyone working in our department, and they would have agreed he was a genuinely nice person.  So many of us in that group have moved on to work in other departments, but we are always glad to run into each other along the way.

This special man I'm telling you about is Mitch Meacham.  I knew that he was a man who loved his family, loved life and was always kind.  I often think of the fun times those of us in our department had together.  We worked hard, but we enjoyed our days together.

Over three and one-half years ago I received a call from one of my co-workers to tell me Mitch had been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.  The first thing I did was pray.  Like so many families, my family has been touched by cancer, and I know how difficult that journey is.  But, we've all heard about pancreatic cancer, and I was devastated for Mitch and his family.  There were days I would see Mitch in the elevator, and all I could do is smile.  My heart was breaking for him, but I knew he didn't need my tears.  He needed my prayers.  And, I have never missed a day praying for him.

Then, six months later I received another call that Mitch had married his high school sweetheart.  The two of them had united their families to become one.  I was amazed, and knew this must be a very special woman with a beautiful heart.  I personally know what the love of your spouse can mean in your life.

And, here it is three and one-half years later, and I have the honor and thrill of sharing Mitch, his wife and there uplifting story with you.  Mitch is an absolute miracle.  Three and one-half years ago, he was told he had six months to live.  And, by God's grace he lived those six months, and he is still living each day.  God has given Mitch the strength he needs, and He has placed people in his life that he needs.  And, there are many people praying for Mitch and his family.  I know that your heart will be touched by my friend, Mitch, and please add him to your prayer list.

Click here or on the above picture to see the video of Mitch's wish to meet Robin Roberts being fulfilled by The Dream Foundation.

You'll be glad you did.

And just look at that pink shirt Mitch wore as a tribute to Robin.

This is a beautiful story and so reminds us that the love of God is often felt through the touch of other people...like Guideposts and the beautiful room makeover they provided. May we all seek to touch others with the love of Christ.

[Lorena]

You are such a dear woman of GOD! I love that video of Collette and had tears in my eyes! I just wish I hand known about it so I could have helped..as I live in Michigan!

Beverly, me again. I tried and tried to comment on Kelee's blog, but the video is giving me troubles, and I cannot stay connected to her site. I could see the pictures though, and they were awesome- what a great job with Colette's room! Just wanted to thank you and Kalee once again for the opportunity you gave us to be part of such an inspiring event. This surely touched many hearts.

Colette's story is such a beautiful and inspiring one. Blessings to all of you who so generously participated. I pray for her healing and for the continued generosity of others so that this project be carried on for others in need.

[Caroline]

Beverly thanks for hosting this special pink Saturday on behalf of Colette. I wondered all week what I was going to write about...then when I sat down the words just came. My Father is a cancer survivor and at his age and considering his diagnosis was not great, his surviving is a miracle.

[Mary]

Hi Beverly, What a heartwarming post. You are truly a special lady for hosting this special event. I am praying for your dear friend Mitch and for sweet Colette.

This is such a great way to "PAY IT FORWARD" and meet and learn about new people out there in blogland!

[Bella]

Hi Beverly -
I'm so glad to see your friend is still fighting on. Hopefully there will be a day when we get rid of cancer completely. And how cool that he got to meet Robin Roberts! It's wonderful of you to join in this event so that all of us can help out.

[Marilyn]

Hi Beverly,

Once again thank you for having Unshelved Words as a featured blog on this incredible Miracle Pink Saturday!. I am still visiting blogs, and I will be throughout the week. There are so many different stories of inspiration. Each and every one has been told with love and a determination to share the cause. Many blessings, friend, for bringing Pink Saturday participants together to share on this special occasion.

:)Marilyn

[Lindsay]

What an awesome story! Not only that Mitch has defied the odds, but that he had the zeal for life that allowed him to marry in the midst of that! What a special couple they are! Thank you for sharing, and I am adding my prayers for Mitch's ongoing health and his family's happiness. I am so glad I found this blog -- the stories and posts I read here are always a source of joy. Thank you for hosting Pink Saturday!

[Jacqueline]

Beverly, I am so grateful for these miracles and the miracle of helping others. I hope you reach your 200 comments.

[Lady Katherine]

Thank you so much for asking me to join in on this special Pink Saturday. I have always loved that it stands for Breast Cancer Awareness! I do love seeing Colette's room! I know from sleeping in a chair with ottoman, then a recliner, then to my hospital bed just how depressing life can be. Such a lovely cottage look, to brighten her many days ahead. I finally made a daybed look for my hospital bed, but then it is in my parlor, my husband asks why do I not go sit in there anymore. My wonderful room turned into a sick room. So I am so happy for her to have a special healing room to be in as she takes on her fight! What happiness she shall awake to each day! Guide Post is a wonderful book, my friend in Florida sends hers to me. I just love the bed and colors they have chosen for this special makeover! I pray for her a Miracle today and many days ahead of healing! A lovely room for a Lovely of Hope!

[vetsy]

Beverly I found you through way of Maya of elbows on my window sill.

what wonderful touching, positive stories you have brought us.

Bless you and everyone who participated in making these wishes happen for Colette and Mitch..

[Gracie Jewellery]

Can't type for the tears! Thank you for bringing this to all of us.

[Pat]

I'm so sorry i was away on vacation with very limited computer access when this special PINK SATURDASY event took place, Beverly! I am so thrilled that both Mitch and Colette are doing so well! Kelee's room transformation for Colette was also a miracle! hugs, Pat

[Lindsay]

Thank you for being that caring person that you are, and all the work you do for others. This is a wonderful Cause.

[cathy Parker/ LADYHIGHTOWER]

Thanks for the visit! While reading your comment a song popped into my head, "Impossible" that Whitney Houston sings in the movie, Cinderella. "Impossible things are happening every day!"

[Tammy]

Thank you Beverly for sharing this wonderful story of healing and how poweful our creativity can be. This was such an inspiring story and it has touched me deeply. After watching the video it makes me thankful for my health, but also thankful that I have the capacity to help others if I just extend myself. Thank you for being a good example by doing that with this Pink Saturday Post and thank you for the reminder. Blessings to you!

Tammy

[cathy Parker/ LADYHIGHTOWER]

Let's see if i can help you get to 200! Blessings!

Very Inspirational - as a cancer survivor myself I know the importance of friendship and prayer and what Guideposts and Keele did for her is truly a miracle.

[Darlene]

What a beautiful story about Colette and Mitch! So inspiring!♥

[DeniseMarie]

Dear Beverly, I'm blown away by the outpouring of Love and prayers for Colette. I remember early on that we all started praying for her and I sent her a love package. I never heard more after a while about it so I'm so glad such an effort was put forth on her behalf. I am a long-time Guidepost fan so I hope we reach our goals!!

Blessings and apologies for not having my post up. I've been very ill with sinus infection, fever and food poisoning. I sure meant to join in.

[Shelia]

Hi Dearest Beverly! I'm so sorry I'm so late in commenting! This is so wonderful of you to be helping in this marvelous event! What a wonderful makeover for this precious lady and man!
Very touching post. Blessings and prayers to these dear ones.

Dear Beverly,
This beautiful post will forever remain in my heart. May God please continue to send blessings to Collette and to all those in need of his blessings and guidance. We just returned home today and I am so thankful to finally have wifi so I could visit you and leave a comment. I will be visiting Collette's blog also.
God bless

[Evalina]

What a heart moving story. Thank you Beverly! My Saturday didn't turn pink at all as I hurt my back (it's getting better though:)) but for sure my next one will be very, very pink!

[Marsha Harris (Splenderosa)]

I have always believed in giving back to my world in any way possible. I currently mentor a few teenage girls whose lives are fragile, hoping to give them confidence, experience, knowledge, prayer & excitement to face the future, to remain in school, to rise high above, so high they can soar.
What you guys are doing here is fabulous, I applaud it. If each one of us
spent 30 minutes a day trying to make someone else's lives better the entire universe would be a better place. My grandmother, the real Mom-Mom,
simply said, "whereever you go, leave a good ripple).

Beverly,
what a wonderful post and cause to be involved in. I have always enjoyed Guidepost as does my mom. I was so touched by Colette's and Mitch's story. I lost my sister to cancer 6 years ago and the video really hit a tender cord with me. The stories of Mitch and Colette are very touching. You are an amazing lady! Good luck reaching your goal:-) ~♥

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD WE CAN'T DO TOGETHER?

When we focus on what we have in common. When we move past separation and into the ONE.

Thank-you one and all for these days of HOPE. YOU have made a difference . YOU by focusing on the positive--the light and compassion--
have adjusted the energy field of the world. Light always diminishes darkness and grows goodness.

Thank-you Miss Beverly, the sainted one.

xo times 172= a kiss and hug for all

How great is that Guidepost is sponsoring this.

I loved all the makeover and I loved the look on Collette's face when she saw it the first time.

The color scheme is fantastic.
