Today, I went to a class offered for chemotherapy patients in Arroyo Grande at the American Cancer Society. There was one other lady who signed up, so just the two of us, but the woman who was leading it, was also a cancer patient currently having chemotherapy as well. The class was called, “Look Good, Feel Better”.<\/p>\n
The class was to instruct makeup application for making us feel and look better. Losing our hair is difficult enough, so this was a fun activity to do and I met two other ladies undergoing similar treatments as myself. The American Cancer Society provided makeup and cleansers and even a bag that it all was stored in for us. No cost to us. The lovely gift was donated from several makeup companies, so each kit was different with different items. We only needed to request light, medium, or dark for our individual skin types.<\/p>\n
After we did the makeup, we three tried on some wigs that were there and I picked out more knitted hats and caps that were softer and less irritating than the ones I had at home. I even found another wig that was absolutely darling on me. I even like it better than the other one, but I will use both.<\/p>\n
It has been a privilege to meet so many people in this season. We are all going through a difficult season, and just meeting these people seems to put a close connection with people I would have never met. We encourage one another, and share our different stories. Each and every story is unique. Even in this hard time, I can see that God loves us so individually, and we are each special to Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
