    Great video! Brings back some touching memories of one of my close friends losing her hair after chemo and shopping for a wig which we promptly named “Martha”. Thanks so much for sharing with your friends and fans. :)

    Namaste,
    Connie

    This was fun and heart-warming. Thanks Andrea and Mark for sharing your wisdom and pain and triumphs – I really do believe the sharing makes you, and all of us as well, stronger.
    Namaste and Happy New Year!

    Connie, Mary, Caroline & Lee: Thanks!!!

    The party was fabulously therapeutic but due to my social anxiety a) I have a very tough time remembering social events and b) my favourite part of a social event is reflecting on and revelling in the fun and excitement after the challenge of socializing is all over.

    So, I was totally bummed when I realized we hadn't taken any photos, and our only video was 7 minutes of sea sick inducing bounce.

    I am completely grateful to Mark for salvaging the video this way and allowing me to relive the super positive vibes of that evening any time I need a boost.

    Your humour is one of the most powerful weapons you have. It comes out loud and clear in the video. Onwards!
