Sign me “Tickled Pink”

tickledpink1.jpgWith October designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, there are any number of activities, products and specialty items featured with the breast cancer awareness color of pink.

Now comes the “Tickled Pink: Prayer Devotion (Group Publishing, $7.99),” designed as a personal way for women to connect with God and refresh their heart and mind.

“Tickled Pink” comes in a small box that includes several items: a spinning top, a fan, feather, mini-umbrella and a piece of clay.

I talked to Amy Nappa, senior women’s editor at Group Publishing which created the prayer devotion. She said each item serves to inspire women in various circumstances.

For example, the pink clay calls women to meditate and create art of their own that reflects how God is forming and shaping them.

Nappa said “Tickled Pink” was created after the success of a similar product, “Chocolate Prayer Devotion.”

She said “Tickled Pink” is “the perfect inspiration for women who need to reflect and be uplifted by spending quiet time alone with God or in prayer.

“What’s unique about ‘Tickled Pink’ is that we created it specifically in recognition of women affected by breast cancer — everything inside the box is pink!”

In a news release, Joani Schultz, author, speaker and CCO at Group Publishing, said the prayer devotion is for all women, not just breast cancer survivors, who need to take a moment of pause.

She called it a “mini-retreat.”
