January is Thyroid Disease Awareness Month
This is a cause that is very important to me as my youngest daughter suffers from Hypothyroidism.
The Thyroid is a large butterfly shaped Endocrine Gland. It is located in the neck above the collarbone. This gland produces thyroid hormone and affects nearly all of the bodies tissue. It's role is to help control metabolism and growth.
There are several conditions that can affect the thyroid. Cancer, Goiters, Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, Solitary Thyroid Nodules, and Thyroiditis. Depending on the disease the thyroid may become enlarged, produce too much or too little hormone, produce lumps or nodes, or become cancerous. When the thyroid is not functioning properly a person may experience weight gain or weight loss and may feel depressed and have a lack of energy.
Goiter
swelling in the thyroid gland, which can lead to a swelling of the neck or larynx. The most common cause for goiter is iodine deficiency. Goiter may be related to hyper and hypothyroidism.Hyperthyroidism
Overactive tissue within the thyroid gland, resulting in overproduction and thus an excess of circulating free thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), or both. One symptom can be a marked loss of weight.Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. About 5 percent of the U.S. population has hypothyroidism. Women are much more likely than men to develop hypothyroidism. Symptoms may include depression, lack of energy, and weight gain.
GiftsForAwareness creates designs to raise awareness about many disease including those of the thyroid. Please visit their shop for more designs. GiftsForAwareness Thyroid Disease Awareness

Save The Children
Save the Children is an international organization helping children in need around the world. First established in the United Kingdom in 1919, separate national organizations have been set up in more than twenty-eight countries, sharing the aim of improving the lives of children through education, health care and economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in cases of natural disasters, war and conflict.
The organization says this about themselves:
"Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves."
Please visit karatekatgraphics's Store at Zazzle for more of their designs.
About the artist:
"Karate Kat Graphics began in summer '06 with our kids selling homemade cards, giving half the proceeds to charity. Here we've built their artwork into hundreds of other playful but polished products. Many can be personalized with your own info to create something truly one-of-a-kind. As always, half of every $ earned goes to children's charities. Sales this year benefit Save the Children, a top-rated organization working in the United States and the developing world to help children in dire need."

Art For the Homeless
My heart always goes out to those who are homeless especially this time of year during the freezing winter weather. Today I came across a Zazzle artist who has seen homelessness firsthand. Here are some of her own words:
"My name is Johnna Crider and I am 26 years old. My story is a long and painful one which I express through art. I release my pain using the paintbrush and canvas.
I was homeless as a child and I want to use my art to do something that will make a difference. I would like to one day open up an art gallery that will benefit homeless shelters all across the United States because America doesn't seem to notice that the majority of her children are living in poverty--most people think of America as the land of the free, rich, and dreams being fulfilled.
Art4TheHomeless is how I express myself to the world. Art4TH is my dream to use art to raise homeless awareness in the US where the average age of a homeless American is nine years old. That means there are more and more families with children living on the streets, in shelters, or in poverty in the USA."

Elephant Nature Park 2010 Calendar
(The following is a verbatim description from the calendar artist.)
"The Elephant Nature Park, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is home to rescued working Asian elephants. Most of them have spent their lives logging, begging on the streets, being forced to breed, or hauling tourists on their backs for long hours daily. Some have suffered abuse and torture by their owners. Some have injuries from land mines, parasites, wounds, and starvation. Most have mental problems from stress and fright. Several are blind or partially blind; many limp from foot, leg, hip, and back problems. But they are free to live the rest of their lives at the sanctuary just being elephants, mingling with others (or not), if they so choose.
This 2010 wall calendar contains color photographs of the elephants at the Park. See groups of adults and baby elephants, older female aunties, dust bathing, and river bathing. This is a great gift for an elephant lover or anyone who wants to help to protect and defend Asian elephants and their habitat. Part of the proceeds from the sale of all elephant products at my store will go to support the heartwarming, crucial work they do at the Elephant Nature Park. In addition to providing a refuge, they provide jobs for neighboring villages, who grow pesticide-free food for the animals; protect the surrounding forest; and are building other sanctuaries, so more animals can live in peace and freedom.

Don't Drink and Drive
If you can't walk a straight line what makes you think you can drive one? The problem is once someone is drunk they aren't thinking clearly. They are close to being in a dream state. The time to make an intelligent decision is before getting drunk. The choice lies with the sober person not the drunk one. Everyone knows before they drink what can happen if they drink too much.
There are decades worth of statistics. There are thousands of graves and grieving families. Sadly these mean nothing to a drunk driver. They are basically on autopilot reduced to pride and immediate need. You can not reason with a drunk. So do not let yourself get into that situation. Most often one does not even know they have taken a life until they are sober. Imagine waking up in jail wondering what has happened. The hours behind you are an unknown blur. You have awoke to find that you have taken a life. You didn't go to sleep and have a nightmare. You woke up to one.
Please do not let this happen to you. Besides it is not just you it happens to. It is the person whose life can be cut short. It is the lives of their friends and families. Do not drink and drive. Better yet do not get drunk. As always do not let anyone else drive drunk. Please help spread the word. Visit PR Prints Zazzle store for more Don't drink and drive products.

Texting While Driving
You don't have to be a genius to know that texting while driving is dangerous. It is no less deadly than drunk driving. Some studies have shown that reaction times are actually worse for texting drivers than drunk drivers. Hard to imagine? Think about this. Though impaired the drinker already has eyes on the road while the texter does not. In addition the texter does not have both hands on the wheel.
Though new laws are being passed or proposed texting while driving is not illegal everywhere. Of course a law does not stop someone from doing something. It is still a matter of choice. Please choose to do the right thing, the smart thing. Don't text and drive.
For more Don't Text and Drive designs see dont_text_and_drive's Store at Zazzle.

Tuberous Sclerosis (TSC)
Tuberous sclerosis or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-is a rare genetic disease with no medical cure. TSC causes benign tumors to grow in the brain and on other vital organs such as the kidneys, heart, eyes, lungs, and skin. In addition to the benign tumors that frequently occur in TSC, other common symptoms include seizures, mental retardation, behavior problems, and skin abnormalities.
Tuberous Sclerosis may also be the cause in some cases of Autism, Epilepsy, Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM),a rare lung disease, and other diseases. This makes researching TSC vitally important as it could lead to breakthroughs or cures for many other diseases.
"Founded in 1974, the TS Alliance is the only national voluntary health agency dedicated to finding a cure for TSC while improving the lives of those affected."
Please see tsalliance's Store at Zazzle for more designs and help support the cause.

Cancer Research
trustpink4getcancer's Store at Zazzle needs help raising money for Cancer research. Here is a quote from the Zazzle store. "For a part of a mini-diploma I have taken at school, I am required to raise £250 (yes, I'm English) for a chosen charity, in my case this is Cancer Research as it has affected me in several ways. I have started a Cancer Research brand entitled 'Trust Pink, Forget Cancer', like the well-known catchphrase of Vanish: Oxy Cleans, 'Trust Pink, Forget Stains'. I have made a whole range of products and hope to raise part of the money by collecting the entire profit I make from Zazzle and putting it into the fund."

Support Zazzler Causes
Earlier tonight I started a new blog for Zazzlers. While looking for a design to promote I came across a shirt with a missing persons message. After posting the design it got me to thinking. Why not start another blog featuring Zazzler Causes? There are many artist that spend much time and effort to raise awareness.
I will be searching Zazzle for cause/awareness designs and try to post something new each day. Especially charities for the cure of diseases.
Wow the batteries in my new keyboard went dead. At least I hope that's what happened. I also hope that the next batteries will last longer than 2 weeks. Good thing the mouse was still working. It let me shut down and hook up the old keyboard without having to pull the plug.
Annnyway back to the subject at hand. If you have a cause design you would like promoted please leave a comment. I'll try to get to them but no promises. Hehe I'm making it sound like there's tons of traffic already

Zazzler Causes Disclaimer
You may or may not know that the Federal Trade Commission has revised it guides governing endorsements and testimonials. What does this do for you? Part of these changes are meant to hold the online community to the same standards as the offline community. As long as this is done fairly I see it as a good thing. Here is more information on FTC Endorsement Guide for your convenience.
I actually welcome this call to transparency. It gives me an opportunity to let you see into my character. For you younger readers I am talking about how I roll.
First off this blog obviously talks about Causes. The products posted feature designs meant to raise awareness. Some of the artist may be raising money for a charity or organization. Some are only using their designs to raise awareness about something. To be clear I make no claim that a purchase of a product means that money will be donated to any charity. This includes products with designs by me. My designs can be recognized as by tjustleft.
There are two reasons this blog exist. 1.) To raise awareness about important causes, charities, and/or issues. 2.) To make money for my family. Due to health issues I am unable to work outside the home. Rather than apply for disability I am trying to earn money working from home. I will always do so in an ethical manner. I know what it is like to be ripped off and deceived. I will not do that to someone else.
Does this blog make money? I surely hope it will. As of today, January 7 2010, it has not. What are the methods used to monetize this blog? The products you see on Zazzler have special links. Those links contain information that identifies me as an affiliate. If you were to click those links and purchase a product I may receive a commission. Other affiliate links are also placed within the text of my post. Not all links I place on this blog are affiliate links. It would be nice if they were though.
Another way I may make money from this blog is advertisements. If I do place an ad on my blog I will do so in hopes of making money from it. Placing a product or advertisement on this or any blog or website does not mean I have made an endorsement. I does not even mean I have been paid. I would like to be paid to show advertisements :). If I am it still will not constitute an endorsement. If I do endorse anything I will clearly say so.
Do I receive free products or money in exchange for testimonials or reviews? As of January 7 2010 I have not. This really isn't a review blog so there isn't much chance of that happening. I am not above accepting freebies however. If you want to send me a free product or money please feel free to do so. I will be happy. If you want a testimonial or review in exchange you may not necessarily be happy with what I have to say. Whatever I do say will be my opinion. Also I will not be obligated to return any such products or money.
There is a post on this blog and elsewhere telling others they can suggest a cause related product or design. I have made the offer to stimulate commenting, as a way to let other designers know they have a chance to have their or someone else's designs showcased, and as a way to see designs I may not otherwise find on my own. In no way am I obligated to take any such suggestions.
I do hope you enjoy this blog. Even if you do not buy anything there is the chance to made aware of things that you previously were not. That in itself will make the time and effort I have spent worthwhile.
