Cup Half Full... the book
Cup Half Full is a beautiful, important book of women and men on the journey with breast cancer, photographed by the incredible Katy Tartakoff.
Over a year ago I was asked to participate in a book about breast cancer. I was in a pretty dark place at the time- feeling sorry for myself and hiding under the covers. I declined.
In April, another friend suggested that I call this lady, Katy, who was photographing women with breast cancer for a book. I called. I was busy getting ready for Mexico and didn’t have time. Again, I declined.
When I returned, Katy’s assistant called to ask if I was still interested in being a part of the book. Katy had a few more spaces to fill and she had heard my story and wanted me to participate- if I wanted to. I had Zaiden with me. Could I bring her? Katy said sure.
Zaiden and I spent less than an hour in Katy’s Denver studio. We were both extremely comfortable and had a great time. Katy even gave us both a bit of Reiki (energy healing). And that was that…
About a month later I received a call that my photos were ready. They were some of the most beautiful photos of me and my daughter I have ever seen. There was so much in those photos: Joy, sadness, love…
The book was released to the participants this week and will be released to the public on Friday Nov 6. It is a beautiful book. It is an important book. It is a wonderful book.
If you are in Denver, please consider coming to the release party and fund raiser on Nov 6 (details below). And if you cannot participate, consider buying a copy of the book for your family. And if you know anyone living with cancer, Cup Half Full is a wonderful, positive, inspiring gift.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of the women (and men) in the book and what an inspiring group!!
Continue to reach for the JOY- because all our cups are half full!!
