When 9/11 happened, my sister and I put together a calendar honoring and encouraging soldiers. The Pentagon had been hit, and all these calendars and accolades for fire fighters and police were all over the place, including stamps. But we didn't see anything for the military. So we honored them, and sold very few. We didn't cover costs so our big dream of donating to a fund for scholarships for children of fallen soldiers never happened then. Maybe people are more willing now.<br /><br />If you think you might like to honor a soldier, please consider contacting any branch of service and donating for scholarships for their children. When they lose a parent, they lose more than love; these children lose a calendar of opportunities.<br /><br />Two wonderful books for males are Taming Oedipus by Herb Wagemaker, and The Practice of Dream Healing by Edward Ticks.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8786784-5495863268879208976?l=greencalendars.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charlotte Fairchildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14185258724949080235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786784.post-45237568553621419562007-07-17T18:54:00.001-07:002008-10-15T21:24:14.067-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WtUiAeWL26w/SPbB6N3HzAI/AAAAAAAAADc/7MlpHLDJvxY/s1600-h/wreath.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WtUiAeWL26w/SPbB6N3HzAI/AAAAAAAAADc/7MlpHLDJvxY/s320/wreath.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257602820899064834" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">by Charlotte Fairchild<br /><br />Calendar (new possibilities for old calendars) Copyright Jan. 3, 2005<br />1. book markers, laminated, or not.<br />2. placemats, laminated or not.<br />3. tablecloths (don’t cut after laminating)<br />4. coasters<br />5. art on the wall<br />6. cards for games<br />7. get well cards<br />8.
