Here are some OCTOBER Details: 

Halloween is on Thursday, October 31st this year.  If you decorate your pumpkins artfully, they can double as both Halloween and general Fall decor.  Head to your LSS (local scrapbook store), Hobby Lobby or even Michael's to find chalk board paint ( I LOVE Krylon.  See HERE) and neat appliques (like this iron-on star. Just apply with hot glue) or stickers to add to your pumpkin!  Don't even get me started on bails of hay!  They're cheap and they scream FALL!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year we see the pink ribbons and we listen to the heart wrenching stories of women and men that have lost their battles with Breast Cancer due to late detection. There is a simple exam that you can do to check your breasts for abnormalities.  The infographic  below is pretty great.  You should have a CANDID conversation with your physician about your family's history with cancer.  Also, you should educate yourself about this disease.  Visit:  www.cancer.gov

October 1st is the first day for open enrollment into the Affordable Care Act.  There is a lot that folks don't understand about this new law.  There is NO REASON to be ignorant about it!  PLEASE go visit: www.healthcare.gov.  If you know someone with no internet and they have questions, have them call: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325)
