Over the past week or so, a movement took shape on Twitter to support a fellow blogger Susan Reynolds<\/a> recently diagnosed with a difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer. As a result of a comment she made about using frozen peas to relieve pain in the affected breast, folks started adding images of peas to their Twitter avatars in a show of support. I don’t know Susan, but many friends and acquaintances do, and\u00a0 I truly admire bloggers facing life-threatening diseases who write about their battle in an effort to help others.<\/p>\n

So,\u00a0 I decided I would put up a new Twitter avatar. A decision made easier when the Queen of Spain’s<\/a> talented husband offered to make pea avatars for people, meaning you wouldn’t be subjected to my sketchy graphics skills. <\/p>\n

However, I decided I didn’t just want peas. I’ve written here before<\/a> about a courageous woman fighting inflammatory breast cancer, Susan Niebur<\/a>, also known as WhyMommy, who used her blog and the community of mommy bloggers to spread the word about this rare form of cancer. <\/p>\n

I wanted my avatar to honor both Susans. <\/p>\n

So today, in their honor and also in memory of friends and family lost to cancer, my Twitter avatar<\/a> is a pink Y, for WhyMommy, wearing a pea necklace, for Susan Reynolds.<\/p>\n
