Putting pen to paper - finally

So I've been writing articles and various pieces focus on various aspects of my experience with breast cancer as a young woman as well as my thoughts on starting the Feel Your Boobies Foundation and the mission that has changed my life. Here I will begin to put these thoughts down and continue to explore just what it means to "Say Something Big." It's a work in progress...welcome.

I never really planned to “say something big”. What does that mean anyway? After all, at 5’ 2” there has never been anything “big” about me. Though I can assure you I’ve never been called shy, and most certainly have been called blunt, but “saying something big?”…that’s just not something I set out to do.

“Saying something big” is about affecting others. It’s about taking your own experience and making it meaningful to those who may never know you but who can relate to what you’ve been through. We all have life changing things happen to us and we have the ability to recognize those moments and use them to create substantial “movement” in ourselves and others if we really want to.

Sometimes the most seemingly insignificant moments in your life result in very profound change and it’s only in retrospect that we can actually realize the true significance of that moment. For me, big change has come from many small moments. Some big changes (moving to New York City without a job) resulted in a small amount of true “movement”, while other very small moments (feeling my boobies) have resulted in a total life change and a large social movement.
