I wish you and Peter could have been there. You both would have found it as equally exciting as I did. Pioneering. Thrilling. I was so happy to be there. It was a very important meeting moment. I felt it in my heart that it had significant meaning. That the timing of it, all of it was right. For the area. For the Garrison/Legion... hard to explain. The feeling was just right all around. Ability to truly share with people. Time to converse and explain. Perhaps next year, you both can join in, and speak with me at a panel or two I'd like to offer. Thank you for your compliments. You'd have loved this event! [emoji173] Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

Best do this before I get sidetracked! Squirrel!!!!! More like, "Teresa, you should be sewing gaskets!" The past few years that this event has taken place, there was never an approved Legion presence. Last year, though I was the only member approved, the event had given up requesting us as we always had to decline due to no interest to travel here for them. (Over 5 hours one way to where I live) I learnt about it after the fact.... This year, I reached out to them to let them know to not give up hope. That we indeed were here, and would love to come! Thankfully, they believed me, put in a request, and were thrilled to know we would be attending! The coordinator was gracious, gave us a big corner of the room, and made us most comfortable. This is a tiny con, held in the 2 stories of the city's library. They host gaming competitions, character reading, panels on a multitude of things offered in our community, vendor area, artists, and a big cosplay costume contest at which I was asked to be one of 3 judges. There was over 80 groups or individuals that took part in the contest, and there were some great costumes! Actually, I must say, that it was heartwarming to see that the majority of the 500 plus attendees, were in costume! I knew this event would be mostly to inform the masses as to what the Legion is. What we stand for, what we do, who we are, and why we do what we do. I went to recruit. Generate interest. Spread knowledge in a foreign territory that was unaware of us. I did have my helmet off most of the day, as I spoke to many, encouraged them, discussed with attendees who our Garrison was. Many girls and women thrilled to see a lady stormtrooper, and thought it cool that we could be one. I certainly did my part being a Lady of the Legion! It really was a great day! Several people actually follow our FB page, as well as have been researching us! Very lovely to learn. We accomplished what my brother Peter ( our event coordinator) and I hoped would happen for this event. It was not a stand there take pics day. It was an informative, spread the good word day! (And of course look great and take pics too.) We were involved in the con itself, from judging and helping here and there, and discussed with the organizers how we could be more involved next year. Speaking at panels, doing something hands on etc, a more formidable set... All in all it was a beautiful day, at which the Garrison represented well. I feel it was a very important moment for this area, and for future Legion members. (Actually, both the Rebel and 501st as I advocated for both.) Why not! We are going to need more members of both sides up here!!!! I will be building a cool set for next year for this event. In attendance were Dave Fuller TK Sooraya Nuthall Jawa (my daughter in laws first troop.) And myself TK With loyalty, and a happy heart, SoulArt TK 41307 Badlands Garrison Alberta Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

Animals are amazing. [emoji173] A 12 year survival celebration trip to Disney sounds spectacular and simply perfect!!!!! I hope it happens for the both of you! Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

Yes. Out the 3, my mom is the only survivor. I was distraught ( Actually, I lost my mind) when she mentioned they found something on her mammo, as I was secretly getting a lump checked too at the time and didn't want to tell her! Mine was negative. Hers was not. oh I was SO angry she was diagnosed. Immediately I thought "Are you serious????? You cannot take another woman I love from me!!!!" I don't know who I screamed this to, but I didn't do good mentally when she was diagnosed. My grandmother was gone, my sister was gone. Not my mom too...... Ugh. Today actually marks her 5 year mark from diagnosis, and we are spending the day together tomorrow to celebrate that. And book our upcoming genetic testing as there's another 11 markers that offer more defined, specific strains in types of hereditary cancers. I'd rather know. Before they could only test for 2. I'd rather have more information about what will affect my health, and both my mom and I are going for further testing. To help ourselves, and others in the future. Its all weird. And slightly terrifying, but also interesting. [emoji7] there's nothing I can do to change the DNA except be attentive. And proactive. IF you walk on the beach, I want to see a picture of that!!!!! Because that just sounds perfect! Bucket in the sand, waves rolling in the background? Serene Beauty! Mom wearing the bucket, you smooching her abs forehead? Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

I'd love to see any pics of you at a walk, or any pinking you have done in her honor. I love seeing things like this anything that anyone has done to honor. I'm so glad your Mother is still with you [emoji173] Walks are beautiful ways to remember and honor their lives. Especially if you are accompanied by others close to you to share in the moment. I hope your upcoming walks see someone beside you. If not, hug a stranger. As they are there honoring their loved one too. XO Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

I had made secret special arrangements for Declan to join us at our Expo specifically for our Sunday StormTrooper shift. It was to be a surprise for our Garrison, as the original D-Clan members were there, and I hoped to have him join us for our Fire Squads first marching together. The first time he wore his armor. His mother called me as I was driving to the Con crying, to tell me that Declan was readmitted. My heart sunk. I was prepared to skip our yearly bash to go visit him, but he was not allowed visitors. He was released days later, to be readmitted now again. This time there's no projected release as of yet. Each time he goes back, is affecting his mental health so negatively. I need to plan a trip there... in whatever armor he wishes to see. Maybe set his up for him. My brother has planned a surprise for him... Hmmm. Maybe this needs to happen now.

I am crying. Our youngling is back in hospital. [emoji174] Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

I shall. I promise. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

Unfortunately Declan ended up back in hospital, and is still there. I did not get the chance to visit as he had an infection. And couldn't get his fever down. I just wanted to let you know as I said I'd post pics. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

Sunday. October. 1st 2017 I posted an interest inquiry in our private FB page to see if anyone wished to join me for a brisk walk in honor of so many. To my delight, several quickly responded that they'd love to come with!!! Some were concerned that the weather would deter members from going... My brother responded "I have a feeling no matter the weather, Teresa and I will be there!" He was correct. I'd have been there rain, sleet, snow, tornado, monsoon.... you name it. Hell, I've done this run in a friggin wheelchair post surgery.... And yes, I'd have dragged Peter and my TK Twin Aaron along with me. Though, I suspect, they'd have come willingly as they were happy to go no matter what the weather had in store for us. [emoji173] Breast Cancer has touched my brothers and my world deeply. As it has for so many others. We have lost our Grandmother, being diagnosed at (64), and baby sister (29) as well as our mother (59) is our survivor. I am the only woman in my family not diagnosed or deceased, and tested genetically for the hereditary gene. What do you do... it is what it is. I screen every 3 months, and am as proactive as I can be. In the past 10 years, I have actively volunteered, caregived, fundraised hundreds of thousands of dollars for research and families in needs, and supported as many women as I can. And their caregivers. I have seen firsthand the horrors cancer brings, and experienced it's excruciating pain. Any time I feel a lump in my breast, I'm filled with horror. Terror. However.... Here I am.... Hugging strangers in pink shirts. Celebrating their lives as they proudly wear their Survivor shirts. Hugging and weeping with all those running in memory of their loved ones they have lost. Proudly walking for the women I love so dearly. I used to do this run with angel wings or butterfly wings strapped to my back. Now, it's done in armor. Armor seems more fitting.... Besides pink always being my favorite color, this is where my pink armor comes in. I've delayed myself in building a set, as I cannot decide which set would fit the profound meaning... I will post my pink armor when I've chosen. With the perfect color of pink. [emoji171] I'm very grateful to all that made it out yesterday am. It was a spectacular walk, in a beautiful location this year. Usually it's held downtown. This year, at Edmontons Legislation grounds. The trees were turned, and colors were stunning. Our pics lovely! The 4 men in black looked amazing, and were a great a contrast set against the 3 Troopers, and our one lone Tusken represented his clan with pride! It was amazing. There were over 6000 people in attendance, and we certainly were the popular attraction for photo Ops this year. Hopefully, next year will see the same location, with many more out and about.

Big big hugs to you TK 42195. Xoxo Thank you for following the comings and goings with Declan. I appreciate it so greatly. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk

Just to let you know, Declan has been doing pretty good lately! Mom just sent me a pic, and his hair is starting to grow in. He has eyebrows again It's our Edmonton Comic Expo this upcoming weekend, and while I'm in the city, I'm planning on taking an evening off of being with my Garrison to go visit the family and just be with him. Perhaps we shall saber battle... play Legos. I wish he was feeling well enough to wear his armor and join us at the booth! Oh my!!!! Could you imagine how glorious that would be !!!!

Being a Phasma, and a Captain in this Universe, hes a StormTrooper. And the book Clearly states that. As Phasma is. He is in all aspects drawn or portrayed as a FOTK in armor. And a Captain as Phasma is. He sounds perfectly mean and cruel, and looks amazing! I'm excited!!! Thank you for reaching out to me to create your seal harness and FO gaskets for you. And this cape!!!!! I'm utterly excited to also create a cape that mirrors my Captain Phasma! His looks a bit different, but very doable! If you are doing this Bad Captain, I SO want to sew his cape for you! Having sewn and researched extensively my lady's cape, I'm excited to create his for you! I'd like a bit more reference, and hopefully visuals will be forthcoming, but if this is a go, I'm happy to work with you on this Tee-Bowls. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk
