June/July 2021 – Money Matters

Welcome to another exciting edition of Buddies. Now that we have passed 50 editions, we have become a classic and just like Dory in Finding Nemo, we are all learning to ‘just keep swimming’. Be this in managing our finances, our health, or just our day-to-day life.

This useful and informative magazine is filled with a wonderful assortment of articles from financial help to fund raising, from healthy eating to Super Survivor encouragement. To quote Forrest Gump, “Mamma always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get” but here you will always get a sweet surprise.

Read about breast cancer in The Golden Girls. And, remember as Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” So, give forward a Buddies mag and as we continue to navigate this scary new world we are living in, trying to figure out a new normal, always remember the wise words from Cinderella, “Have courage, and be kind!”
