Words of Wisdom for Pink Ribbon Readers

The details of the gathering don’t matter; what matters is that you gather.

Pink Ribbon Giveaway: OtterBox Strength Cases for iPhone and iPod Nano

According to Merriam-Webster, strength is:

The quality or state of being strong : capacity for exertion or endurance
Power to resist force : solidity, toughness

How fitting that OtterBox’s new line of pink cases to support the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade is named “Strength”.
