Kaitlyn Regehr Presents Pink Ribbon Pin-Ups 2010 Calendar
I asked eight of the pin ups “how do you celebrate yourself every day?”
Joanie Raine - I take good care of ME. By doing that, it allows me to be more emotionally present and healthy as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
Doreen Gruszecki - I start my day making sure my hair looks good and l always put on make up. l have always started my day like that.

Stephanie Gould - I do things I enjoy like walk my amazing standard poodles, run outdoors and savour homemade lattes. I surround myself with people that inspire me and make me feel good and I avoid people that have bad energy or drag me down. I also make homemade glass beads, being creative nurtures my soul.
Andy Street - I celebrate by remembering how strong I have remained throughout this ordeal and that I believe I can survive anything that comes my way.
Jen Vorobiev - I look in the mirror and know that I am more confident, happy and calm. I have learned to be comfortable in my own skin, no matter what I would like to change or not. I try to take a moment just for me every day (not an easy task with a 3 year old). I try new adventures like learning to fly and playing tennis.

Joanne Lozynsky - I appreciate the good things in life. I’ll treat myself to a special coffee, a piece of chocolate, a few minutes of quiet time, just a small, pretty or comfy treat for myself. I look after myself, do more things for me and paradoxically I have more to give.
Deb Hornby - I love the color purple, so I wear purple eye shadow everyday. A pretty purple with pink or gold highlights makes my green eyes sparkle which makes me feel great. Feeling great is always a cause to celebrate!
Flo Shustack- I do my best and try to “live well”. For me, living well means living consciously, with passion, purpose, persistence and “chutzpah”. Also being grateful for the life I have been given, treasuring the people in my life, honouring my health and sharing my love for music by singing everywhere for everyone I can.
