In my last blog, I briefly mentioned the International Dragon Boat Festivals happening this weekend in Peterborough.    Yet… I couldn’t just give it a paragraph.  It is such an amazing thing.  There are 70 teams from around the world.  These are women, world wide that share two things:  they are strong women and have had to fight breast cancer.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I feel so honoured to be around them.  I love being at the festival and just watching them.  I feel myself soaking up some of that empowerment.  I am fascinated that many of these women are older, mid-aged women.  I love what they represent.  Strength, support, victory, fight, power, faith, hope, sisterhood…<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
While I am so grateful that this has not been a fight I have had to contend with, I must say that I would feel hope and power to fight this battle just by the inspiration of these women.<\/span><\/div>\n

My friend, Jhane Braiser, took these photos of the weekend.  I just had to share them.  If you have not had a chance to see the spirit of the fight, of the Dragon Boat weekend, here is a glimpse.<\/span><\/div>\n

Here’s the thing, I was worried about the weather.  These ladies have weathered the storm.  Rain is not going to stop them!  I love the spirit of the ladies in pink.   Cancer can’t win.  Cancer can’t stop them.  They won’t let it.  We won’t let it.<\/span><\/div>\n

Paddles Up, Ladies!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
