Calendar Girl Blog: Customer Comments
These comments were awaiting me with a calendar order this morning. Julie gave me permission to share them with you.
Where did you hear about this calendar?
I've ordered one for the past several years.
Additional Comments:
Thanks for you work Sue. I love the calendar. It's inspirational and spreads the word to all who come to my home on breast health. Having a benign breast tumor diagnosed at the age of 26, I certainly appreciate the work you do to educate and inform women on their breast health. The womyn in my family, my future daughters and I honor your work.
With Kind Regards,
Julie
Calendar Girl appreciates Julies courage and her loyalty. Movements take the effort of many people.
When my new neighbours 14 year old son came over to borrow a cookie sheet, he looked around at the plethora of calendars and women's body casts sitting around my dining room, wide eyed. As I pressed the 8 1/2 month pregnant cast up against his frame, he didn't know where to put his hands. Then he said, "People let you do this?" Followed by, "This is so cool".
His dad was impressed and very happy with the exchange when I relayed it to him. Calendar Girl realizes that other reactions were possible.

What a lovely story Sue.
If only more 14 yo boys could experience the same. If only they could know it was OK to like the shape of women and it was OK to talk about how they liked their shape - naturally. That as long as whatever they do, they do with respect, it is OK.
I wish I had known that I knew that when I was 14 and I had had experiences like you describe which allowed me to learn about women's bodies .

My step son, as an 11 year old, said to me, "You're a good writer". I was puzzled. At that point the only public writing I'd done was the calendar. So I asked him what he'd been reading. "The calendar", he replied, with not a hint of concern or embarassment.
He simply had sat down one day and read it front to back.
