Raising awareness - not just a Facebook fad

There's a thing going around Facebook at the moment where girls post selfies with no make-up on, in order to raise awareness for breast cancer (what exactly the link is supposed to be between not wearing make-up and breast cancer, I'm not quite sure - if anything we should be posting pictures of our boobs? ...Perhaps not.) Some guys are posting pictures of themselves wearing make-up, and some people are posting pictures of their scars, asking people to donate, or telling people how to check themselves. Good stuff, I reckon.

It's so important to be in touch with our bodies. We may not always like them but they're the only ones we've got. So we should embrace them, look after them, and hopefully they'll serve us well. And as well as being aware of our bodies, we should be aware of our minds, and raise awareness within ourselves. Namaste.
