Battling and living with breast cancer every day has a way of giving you new eyes, and the world no longer looks or feels the same. I try to live each day with joy and gratitude for every precious moment, so capturing some of them has not only been exciting and challenging, but very therapeutic. I'm in awe of the incredible talent in Flickrland and get lost in the beauty of so many stunning and creative images. I truly appreciate the inspiration, encouragement, and most of all the friendship! ;>)

    "I have had the pleasure of knowing Marie for only about a year. When I was new to Flickr she accepted me quickly and easily became friends.
    Her photos are exciting, beautiful, and sensitive. When she looks through her lens, its to capture some form of beauty that no one has ever seen through her eyes. Marie has a zest for life and people that isn't compared easily. She is a survivor of Cancer as she battles it everyday. She is strong minded, strong willed and soft around the edges. Marie is a champion in my eyes as she takes everyday as it comes, and faces it with her head high, and her mind focused that she will not let this (Cancer) beat her .

    When I dealt with a very painful loss to me, Marie was one of the beautiful people that allowed me to be myself and grieve, and yet didn't stray too far knowing that I might need her support or encouraging words. She always has a kind word and a sensitvity about her that calms me. She has a smile that could melt even the hardest heart.

    Although I have never met her in person I feel like she is one of the sweetest people I know.

    Sweet Marie, thank you for being my friend, and being there for me. Ps whoever nicknamed you Sweet Marie, they sure knew what they were doing. Blessings to you lady and remember this... OUR GOD IS ABLE!

    Lots of love to you
    Kym"
