Bertha Gilson is an "Inspiring Woman!"

2010-06-25T08:00:00.000-07:00

Bertha Gilson, from New Castle, Pennsylvania, was diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 1993. Her journey through breast cancer has inspired friends and family with her grace and courage. Bertha underwent 35 radiation treatments and is grateful that she has been cancer-free for more than 17 years!

What was your first thought when your first received your diagnosis?

The doctors were very optimistic that we caught it early and that I had a very good prognosis. However, I had in my own mind that I had 6 month to live.

How did you share your diagnosis with your family?

I found the lump on my own but didn’t tell anyone in my family. I made a doctor’s appointment and they performed a biopsy that same day. The doctor said she was almost positive it was cancer, but she would have my official results in 2 hours. I called my husband at work and told him right on the phone to please come home; I was pretty sure I had cancer but we’d have the results in a few hours. He was in shock because I had not even shared the news that I had found the lump. I didn’t want to scare anyone until I knew for sure.

Who did you lean on for support?

I actually withdrew into myself. I didn’t want anyone to make a fuss over me. I didn’t like to talk about it. I actually didn’t even tell my own mother about it until the day before my surgery and that was only because my husband made me tell her. I really didn’t want to make anyone upset.

Did your faith support you during this time?

To be honest, I had lost my faith at first, which is why I think I withdrew so much, but, as my treatments went on and my doctors were confident that the cancer was gone, I began to realize how fortunate I was and how precious life is. I began living each day to the fullest. I even went out and bought my own Harley and earned my motorcycle license right after my radiation treatments were finished. Today, I thank God with each good bill of health I receive from my doctor. It has been such an eye-opening experience.

How did you feel during treatment?

I was very nauseous. I would have to pull over on the side of the road because I was sick on the way home from each radiation treatment. But when I got home, I would act as though I was just fine. My daughters were only 5 and 12 years old at the time. I was very careful not to upset them. They knew I had cancer but I tried shielding them from the effects.

How did your experience with cancer affect you? What did you learn about yourself?

I learned that life is a gift. Don’t put anything off for tomorrow. If it’s in your heart to do it now, nothing should stop you.

What are three words your family or friends would use to describe you?

Haha! I would have to say bullheaded, strong and brave. I definitely have a mind of my own.

What advice would you give to someone newly diagnosed with cancer?

If you have a question about your condition, ask your doctors directly. Don’t just research it yourself and don’t always rely on another person’s story. Each case is different. It is great to have friends that have been through it but remember that each and every outcome is different. Just because it happened to someone else, whether good or bad, that does not mean that it will be your case as well.

Thank you, Bertha, you are the first person we are honoring as an "Inspiring Woman."

Tell us about the inspiring woman in your life! We'd love to share it with others.

Hope for (and from) a dancer....with cancer

2010-01-22T11:15:00.000-08:00

Jody Kind loves to dance.

Dancing gives her great joy.

Joy is an appropriate word to describe Jody's life. A two-time breast cancer survivor, Jody does not let much get her down.She loves to work out, and of course, this includes dancing!

She is an A+ Certified and Microsoft Certified Professional. Jody loves helping Windows & Mac users solve problems online. She is also an avid amateur shutterbug - her favorite subject is her beautiful grandson.

Hope is another word that describes Jody's outlook and perspective. She shares her life on her fabulous blog. Through her journaling and fantastic photographs at "A Dancer with Cancer," Jody provides hope to others. You don't have to be a cancer survivor to be utterly inspired by this beautiful and amazing young woman.

HOPE

In his name the nations will put their hope.

Meeting the Gov!

2009-11-25T15:52:00.000-08:00

Thursday evening, November 19th, my mom, Joan, and I trekked to Joseph-Beth Booksellers at the Southside Works in Pittsburgh. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was there signing copies of his new book, "A Simple Christmas." We couldn't resist the opportunity to meet the Governor and present him with our Believe tee for his wife, Janet. He was incredibly gracious and kind.

Thank you, Governor! Be blessed! Check out our pics from the event:

Friends, I want to wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for all of you!

She Speaks to Inspire - Meet Laurie Zieber!

2009-11-17T16:21:00.001-08:00

I'm thrilled to introduce you to our new affiliate, Laurie Zieber!

Laurie is a talented writer, online radio show host and a woman after God's own heart! I'll let Laurie tell you a little about herself in her own words:

"I’m much like you, I suppose. I’ve raised some kids, married to a man I deeply love, and we have a full menagerie of pets. I love a challenge, hate to fail, am easily distracted, believe the best of people, am often accused of naivete (don’t care either). I don’t handle disappointment well, I'm terribly annoyed by arrogance, I tell the truth, I'm fascinated by the human race, and I listen carefully when someone is speaking to me. I've worried long enough about public opinion and approval. So, I'll keep on blazing my own trail as long as I’m able."

I had the privilege of recently appearing on Laurie's Blog Talk Radio Show. Listen to the interview!

Did you know that this year is the 50th anniversary of what the world knows as the "Peace" sign and symbol? Curious about its origins?

British artist Gerald Holtom drew a circle with three lines inside, intending the design to be a symbol for the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC). The letters "N" and "D" were used to represent "nuclear disarmament." Using the semaphore system (which conveys information at a distance by means of visual signals) the "N" is formed by a person holding a flag in each hand and then pointing them toward the ground at a 45 degree angle. The "D" is formed by holding one flag straight down and one straight up. In 1960, the symbol migrated to the United States and by the late 1960s, the peace sign had become an international symbol adopted by anti-war protesters of the Baby Boomer generation.

The "V-sign", also called the "peace sign" and the "victory sign," is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed, facing the viewer. Originally strictly a sign for victory, it developed into a peace sign during protests against the Vietnam War (and subsequent anti-war protests) and by the counterculture as a sign of peace.
Isn't it nice to know that the peace Jesus gives us is supernatural and eternal? The peace of this world...well there's not much of it...is fleeting, conditional and comes with strings attached. There is only one string attached between the Lord and those who love him. The string from our hearts to His. Amen!

Let's start a new peace movement wearing sheer comfort and a brilliantly embellished rhinestone shirt from the 'The Verses' collection:

Colossians 3:15 - Let the peace of Christ rule your hearts.

PEACE

This shirt looks absolutely gorgeous in white rhinestone. Made from a soft, durable cotton blend, it's a stylish, convenient and sensible way to advocate for peace. Beats walking around carrying signs!

This shirt is one of my favorites. I especially love it in white, embellished with rhinestones! Elegantly understated and Christian-inspired, it speaks Peace without saying a word. Makes a great birthday, shower or wedding gift.

Made in the USA of a premium blend of 94% Cotton (even the cotton is grown here.), 6% Spandex, Embellishment Rhinestones - and is machine washable. When ordering use coupon code 'peace'.

Let the Peace of Christ rule your Hearts.
Many Blessings,

Michele

Vote on Your Favorite Verse

Our Mission at Inspiretees is to spread words of inspiration and encouragement, through a line of women's clothing that is of exceptional quality and beauty.

From the original sketch of the very first shirt, it was clear that our Inspiretees would be absolutely stunning; but, as with everything else, looks are nothing without substance. So, we began searching for a material that would not only make them feel heavenly just to slip into, but would retain its integrity for years to come.

Our quest ended when we found the perfect ingredients in a premium-quality blend of 94% cotton and 6% Spandex. Besides making Inspiretees soft and luxurious, this extraordinary combination makes them incredibly comfortable, providing just the right amount of stretchiness, so they’ll conform to your shape without clinging. Sparkling with genuine Swarovski crystals, rhinestuds, rhinestones and inspiration drawn straight from the Bible, our “Verses Collection” Inspiretees are stylish, chic, and machine-washable.

We have designed this elegant, yet hip, line of Christian shirts not only to be fashionable, but to inspire and lift the spirits of all who wear them, as well as those who see them. Therefore, every one of our customers can be considered an ambassador of good will, as she brings these everlasting words of encouragement to everyone in her orbit.

We have been getting a lot of great feedback about our shirts, and we’re delighted to hear all of the different ways in which the verses that we have chosen have touched our customers, as well as those around them. Now, we want to hear from you!

Visit the “Verses Collection” then return to our blog and comment on your favorite verse. Just for giving us your opinion, we will send you a coupon for $10 off your next shirt purchase, which will be valid until April 30th. To receive your coupon, just join our mailing list.

So hurry and take advantage of this great discount for yourself, or give someone special an unforgettable gift for Easter, or any other occasion. We ship anywhere in the U.S.A. via two-day Priority Mail.
