This is my friend Kay McConnaughey.....she is for-sure my "oldest" friend in the world. We have known each other and worked together for 25 years. She is a gifted artist and a true woman of character and she is a blast. I love her. Kay is here at mambi working with us this week....cranking out new art for the BIG presentations we are working on. We have been working really long hours during her visit and with Stephanie out of the office, Kay has literally moved into her office for the week. Actually, our entire art department is putting in lots of hours these days.
Kay was on the original mambi team when we started the company ten years ago. She did all the stick kids back then, but you may know her better {more recently} from her Modern Milan line. She is versatile and so much fun to work with. We laugh alot when we are together and talk about some pretty random subjects.
I feel really blessed to know her and very grateful that she works for mambi.
So, I had my annual mamogram yesterday and I wanted to remind all of you to do the same....don't let it go.
It is something that you should do for yourself every year after you are forty. Kay is a breast cancer survivor....she was diagnosed two years ago. She has had a long journey of surgery, chemo, radiation and reconstruction. Early detection is key to survival ladies!
Check out the Soft Spoken we have for survivors....cute, huh?
Hopefully, I won't have to learn about this first-hand, but if I were ever to face this myself, Kay has been a courageous example of how to deal with cancer.
Okay, we gotta get back to work tonight.
Have a good one.
That's a cute picture of Kay. Thanks for the comment...I am looking forward to this weekend!
