October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
*I am republishing this article from last month because October is the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All Breast Cancer Bracelet orders from now until October 31st are on sale for $28 regularly $30.
We all know of someone who has had breast cancer or is currently battling this disease. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 213,000 women in the US are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. These special bracelets remind us that there is "Hope" for a cure in the near future. Each bracelet is made with sterling silver beads, Swarovski white pearls, and beautiful "cat's eye" pink beads. Also, you will find the word "Hope" in the center of this bracelet with a pink ribbon charm attached to the heart shaped clasp. These bracelets are now available to order online at Breast Cancer Bracelets or http://www.familybraceletsdirect.com/breast_cancer_bracelet.html
How It Started
Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city's orphans and shut-ins too often felt forgotten and neglected, conceived the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called "Sweetest Day". In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.
What It Is
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious sentiment or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a tangible way.
