Care and Keeping of You (Revised): The Body Book for Younger Girls

Care and Keeping of You (Revised): The Body Book for Younger Girls | Valorie Schaefer

Dear Litsy fam - Please get your annual checkup! Keep your blood pressure in check. Monitor existing conditions. Eat better. Ladies - get your mammogram and Pap smear. Men - get your prostate exam. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and ten weeks later she was gone. I now carry around a lot of "what ifs". Nag your loved ones to take preventative care seriously - I wish I had. Bonus reading time included. *gets off soapbox & gets boobs squished*

laurieluna I really don't get why some women will lay on a table and let someone wax them, but won't go for a smear. Baffling. 7y

I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

— Emily Dickinson 7y
