Tip for you: Breast self exams are fun solo or with a partner, and are the first (and most effective) line of offense for women's health. Both get on it and remind the women you love that breast health is vital to body health! BreastCancer.org and Feel Your Boobies have great tips and reminders. Cheers!
Also Domestic Violence Awareness month (moves to May in 2010)
The focus tends to revolve around women, but men are certainly not immune to abuse in the home. Use this month to hug your families often, tell more people you love them, and take care of each other!
Fun dates in October!:
5th:
- International World Teacher's Day! Reconnect with a professor who inspired you, drop off school supplies at a local school, and/or call a teacher in your family and thank them for their selfless daily acts of giving!
- Croatian Independence Day! Send your favorite Croatian a "Sorry your Independence Day is not ideal barbeque weather" card!
- Columbus Day AND Canadian Thanksgiving Day! Confusing! Thanksgiving is about Pilgrims and cornucopias and Squanto and Canada has none of those things so what's that about?
- World Food Day! Donate non-perishable items to a local foodbank or volunteer at one!
- Apple Day! Hug a MacBook!
- United Nations Day! What better day than to get to know the leaders and issues of the world (I recommend Google Maps)!
- All Hallow's Eve, America's favorite pagan holiday!
