That day at inkhappi that is always anticipated… Its the 3rd Monday in July and I am scrambling to get this August 2014 Calendar out to you as promised today. I was up all night working on computer problems. [Oh the Joys of being a blogger] But I have it Yeah!
I really want to share a little personal story that goes with the message I chose for the August 2014 Calendar. About 12 years ago I had come off of a difficult time in my life after losing my sister to cancer and nearly losing my husband to a blood clot. Several changes in my life had affected me deeply around this time. I knew that to remain happy and stay on top of things I needed to be mindful of others more instead of myself. I loved the quiet times I had alone in the mornings when everyone got off to school or work before me. I decided that I would sing this certain song that I loved and see if it would influence my life for GOOD throughout the day if I started my day off with it. I sang that song out loud all by myself every morning. Here is the song!
“Have I Done Any Good in The World Today?”
Have I done any good in the world today?
Have I helped anyone in need?
Have I cheered up the sad
and made someone feel glad?
If not, I have failed indeed.
Has anyone’s burden been lighter today
because I was willing to share?
Have the sick and the weary
been helped on their way?
When they needed my help was I there?
[Chorus]
Then wake up and do something more
Than dream of your mansion above.
Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure,
A blessing of duty and love.
Well there it is. Did it help? How could it not? Try it for your self!
I think this August 2014 Calendar might help too! I just love this saying…
BElieve THEre is GOOD in the world.
Cool, huh?!!
soooo…

Thanks for the beautiful calendar! I always download your calendars and then add in my own personal events on them; however, I am unable to download this calendar as a JPEG- I only have the option of downloading a PDF file, which sadly, I cannot customize 🙁
Jillene says
Thank you Ari! I’m glad you enjoy them. I sent you the jpeg file by e-mail and i will go back to sharing jpegs with my calendars. ~Jillene
Lila says
I stumbled across your website while looking for free calendar’s to include in my parent newsletters. I run a small in-home child care where I care for five children. I wanted a calendar that seemed to fit my philosophy that my heart is in my job and that the families and children mean more to me than just a paycheck. Well, when I came today to see the calendar I fell right in love! Exactly the messages I try to portray to my parents: to enjoy life and be the good in the world that they would like to see in others and their children. This is wonderful and I want to send out a heartfelt welcome for this calendar. I hope that my parents read it and are reminded to be the good they want to see. Thank you!
Jillene says
Thank you for sharing that with me Lila. That made me so “happi”! Please check back every 3rd Monday of the month for a new calendar! xoxo ~Jillene
