Remember when people used to put all the travel stickers on their cars?
I've thought so many times that I'm just months away from becoming one of those
"who cares what you think of me" people and putting all the ones on my little
HHR that represent what gets my prayers so often. I'd have a bunch!

I live in a small town so haven't had mine stolen yet. People don't deal with feelings very well these days, so I guess that's one way to do it! It's a good reminder to me to deal with mine! I may not steal pink ribbons, but sometimes not dealing with my fears, causes me to not be who I should.

Laurie, I hope you order them by the dozen and keep on keeping on being proud. It took me a year to put mine on, but I too do the "atta girl" cheer when I see another one go by! It helps knowing there are more BC warriors fighting the cause!
