Sheri's Sharebook 

Dear Friends:

You probably never thought of this, but women's shelters in the U.S.go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly. Assistance agencies generally help with expenses of "everyday" necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, but one of the most BASIC needs is overlooked - feminine hygiene products. (That tells me men are at the helm of the funding assistance agencies!)

Seventh Generation, a green paper products and cleaning products company, has a do-good attitude and will donate a box of sanitary products to a women's shelter in your chosen state - just for clicking the link.

Talk about easy (and, yes, it is Legitimate)!

Thanks for helping out.

The saddest thing -- in the library the other day,
A boy in the beginning years of school,
brought a familiar preschool title to his mother, and asked if he could
check it out.
You could tell it was a favorite,
That the book resonated throughout his body by the way he clutched it..
The mother quickly turned, took one look and said,

"No that is a baby book, you need to get others."

She didn't even look at his face, or see the hunger for the book he held
Perhaps it was a feeling he had when younger,
perhaps the book reminded him of a family situation
perhaps he just needed a friend..

yet this mother denied her son.... by ridiculing his choice
in front of a room of strangers....

It was so very sad... as he put the book back on the table,
as if a death had occurred..
