Mary Lou Beshears Breast Care Center

by Mickey Baxter-Spade on December 17, 2008

The Mary Lou Beshears Breast Care Center in Colorado Springs was privileged to receive a donation of six digital mammogram machines from Mr. Beshears. It was my honor to be asked to design signage in the lobby as well as the entry to the Breast Care Center before their formal dedication.

During a phone call from the head of  the Breast Care Center, pink roses kept popping into my head. When this happens I have learned not to ignore these ideas. Two weeks later I presented my ideas to the board, to include Mr. Beshears and his son. After showing my sketches Mr. Beshears stood with tears in his eyes, walked over, gave me a hug and said, “That was Mary Lou’s favorite flower”.

How do your ideas come to you, a flashing picture in your mind’s eye, in dreams, during a conversation with a total stranger?
