Asbestos is a set of six naturally occuring silicate minerals used commercially for their physical properties. The prolonged inhalation of asbestos can cause serious illnesses including malignant lung cancer and mesothelioma. All of this and asbestos is still not banned in the US.
Heather Von St. James is a mesothelioma survivor who was given 3.5 months to live. Heather has actually beat this disease and has now been living for 7 years AFTER she was diagnosed. She has brought to my attention what causes this disease and I now want to help create awareness. September 26 is Mesothelioma Awareness Day. We are trying to reach at least 7200 media outlets/voices/ blogs, etc. in spreading awareness. Please visit http://www.mesothelioma.com/heather/awareness/ to learn more about Heather's story as well as this deadly disease. You never know who it could strike next. All it takes is a click! Thank you in advance for your support!
Since this is a collection of thoughts that chronicle my life, my walk, my ambition...well just everything me (which will sometimes include others)I decided to title it "Excursions of Grandeur." Our walk in life is definitely that of a journey, NOT a destination (until death anyway) even an excursion, if you will! And not just any excursion...one of grandeur! So, saddle up and prepare for this excursion where you'll encounter anything and everything...but NOthing in the direction of ordinary!
