Is Pink the color of October?

     In our Midwest, when the Maples begin to turn their amazing colors, and "pop" against the perfectly blue October sky, I think October's colors are red, yellow and orange. But, when October brings cataclysmic drops in the stock market, and news programs frantic with bad news, and Halloween symbols everywhere, I think October's color is black. But, when October is surrounded by the  improbable color of Pink, I know something special is going on.
      Pink no longer just defines Bubblegum or Barbie, but it now stands for one big topic - Breast Cancer, and our determination to spread Awareness, offer Support and find a Cure! I actually love that freedom to talk about something so personal - the "big C-word" whose nasty surprise can sneak up on anyone while they are busy just living their lives. I've heard that most families have been touched in some way by Breast Cancer - so most of us are sympathetic toward the campaign against it.
     I love seeing pink on baseball players, buildings and product packaging. It means we are all on-board to do something about this mean disease...so, most certainly, I believe we will! At Furniture Gourmet, we are celebrating Pink with new Pink items - which make great ways to celebrate our own victories, and to give encouragement to our pink sisters who are going through the fight.
