I admire women entrepreneurs who run their businesses successfully and give back at the same time.  I&#8217;ve been striving to do the same and support a cause or charity each month in a creative way.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve seen the word HOPE quite a bit recently from some of these talented entrepreneurs.  Cathe from Feterie participated in The Week of Hope campaign, September 1-7 this year to support <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopeisinthecards.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hope is in the Cards<\/a>.  It&#8217;s a movement started by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopeisinthecards.org\/?page_id=27\" target=\"_blank\">Russ Haan<\/a> to raise our nation&#8217;s spirit and give hope in difficult times.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feterie.com\" target=\"_blank\">Feterie.com<\/a> is continuing its support of Hope by offering a postage stamp with each card ordered through the end of the year.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAlli at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birddogpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BirdDog Press<\/a>, maker of all things letterpress, is stamping the word HOPE on the back of envelopes and providing postage for some of her select greetings in honor of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopeisinthecards.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hope is in the Cards<\/a>.  You can read about how Alli was inspired to contribute on her blog <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.birddogpress.com\/2009\/09\/21\/hope-for-halloween\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMy contribution this month is similar.  Inspired by the ladies above and Russ Haan, I created a bookmark to support Breast Cancer Awareness in October.  With every order in October, I will include two bookmarks.  One is to keep and one is to send or give to someone that needs a little encouragement.  A small gesture, but one that can be significant and meaningful.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPlease visit the links above and spread HOPE anyway you can.  It really does make a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspiration comes from many places when you&#8217;re present enough to pay attention.
