Little Michelle, Littler Tree!

This picture was taken in May of 1986, and Michelle is much older now--and the tree is much bigger, too...

Baby Michelle

My youngest goddaughter wearing her favorite outfit! Of course, she's a lot older than this now...

Here's a funny story about her that took place a few months before this picture was taken...Click Me!

Passionate Avon Lady!

Michelle Renee (Foreman) Freed
Born February 11, 1978
Lifelong resident of Muncie, Indiana
Wife, mother of two daughters and a son,
homeschool teacher, Avon Lady, passion party hostess,
and, in many other ways, a real go-getter!

I'm her proud godmother, and it doesn't seem that long ago that Michelle looked like this or this. Time has a way of flying!

I've gone from changing her diapers to designing a business card for her in what sometimes seems like such a short time...

If you're interested in buying and/or selling Avon (even if you live clear across the country from Indiana) check out her site: Click Me!
Michelle also both hosts and is looking for people to host passion parties. Don't worry, it's not some kind of kinky orgy. Simply a place for people to get together, visit, and shop for items that will enhance their love lives.
If you are interested in attending and/or hosting such a party, contact Michelle at:

Don't Toss Your Ink Cartridges & Cell Phones!

Read the following letter:

Hi there!

Did you know that the improper disposal of one cell phone can pollute up to 132,000 liters of water? It's true. Improper disposal of ink cartridges can also harm the environment.

So, what is your average person to do? Well, donate your old cell phone and ink cartridge, of course. I don't know about you, but I've got 2 old cellphones in my mother's basement. I'm sure I've got one hanging around my house somewhere, too. And forget about the ink cartridges-- I just throw those out whenever I'm through. Oops.

Well, Teen Trend Magazine is now holding its very first "Phone-Raiser". We don't want cash. We don't want checks. We want your old phones and ink cartridges. Just erase all of the information from those old cell phones, put your ink cartridge in a bag and send it to:

Teen Trend Magazine Phone-Raiser
PO Box 567
Middle Island, NY 11953

Old phones and ink cartridges will be refurbished and donated to women's shelters and other organizations. If the phones or cartridges can't be refurbished, they will be dismantled and recycled according to EPA Standards.

If you include a note with your return address, you will receive a Tax Deduction Receipt, which you can use for your 2008 taxes.

So, there you have it. You are saving the environment, helping a terrific cause AND getting a tax deduction. What more could you ask for?

Please help us collect as many cell phones and ink cartridges as possible. Thanks so much for your help.

Sincerely,

Candice Cain

Editor-in-Chief

She's Here In Their Hearts And Their Hearts Will Go On And On...

I'm dedicating this link to Terri's loved ones...

Although nothing they do from now on will bring back their beloved daughter and sister, Terri's parents and siblings are still dedicated to making sure that what happened to Terri won't happen to others.  The following will update you on some of what has been taking place...
== MORE TERRI ===================
Terri's death leads family to help disabled
St. Petersburg (LifeNews.com) -- During the final months of the legal battle they fought with Terri Schiavo's former husband to save her life, the Schindler family kept saying the ordeal was bringing them closer than ever before.
Now that a year has passed and their foundation has converted from an effort to prevent Terri's euthanasia death to one protecting the disabled, they're working together on a daily basis, they told the St. Petersburg Times.
The Schindler family -- parents Bob and Mary Schindler, brother Bobby and sister Suzanne Viatadamo -- now all work for the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation.
Bobby gave up his job as a high school teacher and Suzanne quit her position as a stockbroker.
The goal is to fight a "euthanasia movement" where some favor killing disabled patients rather than providing care.
Working out of a small three-room office in St. Petersburg, the foundation relies on donations and will get a financial shot in the arm with proceeds from the Schindlers' new book "A Life That Matters."
The foundation mission is (1) to educate people about guardianship laws and statutes on starvation and dehydration, and (2) to establish a network of professionals and organizations to help disabled people and their families.
Eventually the family hopes to establish a network of centers to provide care for brain injury victims and support for their families.
The Schindlers have also started a separate organizations to change laws to protect patients from being denied lifesaving medical treatment. So far, only Louisiana has adopted a new law, which prevents a spouse living with another person from denying such treatment.

Also, American Life League's Celebrate Life magazine has a great interview with the family, looking forward positively. It's at http://clmagazine.org/backissues/2006marchapril_14-17schindler.pdf

States not passing laws to protect patients
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- After Terri Schiavo's death, pro-life state lawmakers across the country talked about passing laws to protect other disabled patients like her. Yet, little progress has been made.
Laws reshaping end-of-life policy were floated in two dozen states but only Louisiana passed any kind of law.
Pro-life groups say the legislative efforts are only in their initial stages and that lawmakers will continue to look at pro-life bills as the issue gains more attention.
"I think this is just the beginning," Denise Burke, vice president and legal director of Americans United for Life, told the St. Petersburg Times. "This can be [Terri's] legacy, that these issues will be debated."
Supporters of euthanasia are encouraged that the pro-life bills have made little progress. They're putting together legislation of their own to advance assisted suicide in more states than just Oregon.
"I don't think any of them are likely to pass, but I think there's been a real push by the right-to-life interest groups to roll back the clock," said Kathryn Tucker of the pro-euthanasia group Compassion and Choices.
The National Right to Life Committee says all but 10 states may allow doctors and hospitals to disregard advance directives when the directives call for treatment, food, or fluids. That means more deaths like Terri Schaivo's down the road.

All D.C. politicians to get Schindlers' book
National Pro-Life Action Center (http://www.nplac.org ) has purchased 600 copies of the Schindler family book “A Life That Matters,” which will be delivered to every member of the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House and key members of the Bush Administration, including the president and the vice president.
“It is our sincere hope by putting this book into the hands of lawmakers that it will inspire them to take the appropriate actions to ensure that a tragedy, such as Terri Schiavo’s, will never happen again,” said Stephen G. Peroutka, NPLAC chairman.
