Monday Smile

Let’s face it, many of us don’t exactly get excited about Mondays. They can be kinda tough, can’t they? So, let’s find something to smile about.

For me, it’s a great weekend spent together with family…and, this ridiculously delicious apple cider donut.

I’m smiling, here…what about you? Make it a great day, friends!

Melanoma Monday

Yes, that’s right. Today is Melanoma Monday and that means it’s time for a reminder to check yourself for moles and schedule an appointment if you notice anything that doesn’t look right.

Dysplastic Nevi

I had moles that turned out to be dysplastic nevi removed a couple of years ago after going in for a checkup. Since then I’ve been back several times, and each time have had moles removed. Fortunately no more of the bad ones since then. Thank you God for that!

So how do you check yourself and what should you be looking for? Click here for tips on how to perform a self exam, and you can also download a body mole map to document the occasion.
