On Saturday night Bob and I went to Providence, Rhode Island for date night and to see WaterFire. It is an art installation where they light bonfires on the water and have various performers throughout the city. It would have been a nice night anyway, but it happened to be the same day at the breast cancer event Flames of Hope.
The state house looked wonderful, it was lit in pink with inspiring words on it like: hope, strength, courage, etc. projected on it. Also they had the Flames of Hope Torch Ceremony. This inspirational ceremony and walk from the steps of the Rhode Island State House to the basin of WaterFire was compelling as it was motivating. It truly symbolized hope, courage and determination in the fight against breast cancer.Of course I was probably more emotional than usual since I had just undergone my first mammogram earlier in the week, but it was an absolutely beautiful evening.
Providence was quite impressive. I can see us going back again soon.
