Mysterious & Miraculous Book III - Please Keep the Stories Coming

6/9/2014

To paraphrase our beloved Captain Mike: 

Greetings, Saints,Scribes and Scribblers!

Story contributions for MMB3 (Mysterious & Miraculous Book III) are arriving, and fluttering into our email boxes. We had received some at the beginning of the year as well and we're excited to be adding new content from some scribes and contributors that are new to the Legacy Archives family.

I'd let you know who they are, but that'd kinda spoil the surprise. However, to the new folks, I bid you welcome and many thanks for your contributions to MMB3! 

In event everyone isn't in the know, let me reiterate that any of us can contribute further manuscripts for the consecutive books. So, if you've already had one of your stories published in a previous book in the M&M series, you can still turn in new stories for MMB3.

Now, let me bring you up to date with where we are regarding contributions and correspondence from the not-for-profs we're lending a hand to.

Money distribution and correspondence

To keep this fast and simple, I've put together a tiny slideshow for you. The documents show the monies distributed as well as the response from the recipients.
Now, I'd like to update you with some very cool fundraising projects!

Handmade greeting cards Via Maria Jordan

PictureMaria Jordan and Aunt Baby
Our own, multi-talented, Maria Jordan has been hard at work designing hand-made cards. This is something she enjoys just for the fun of it, but also because it's good therapy.

A few months ago, Maria expanded her personal line of cards to incorporate a new line that helps promote the work of the Legacy Archives Foundation. 

I'll give you a short list here of the wonderful benefits of investing in and using these cards.

  • You'll be spreading the word to help a small locally owned and operated business.
  • You'll be employing yet another avenue of spreading the word about the LAF and it's mission.
  • If you're a Legacy Scribe or Contributor, you'll be drawing attention to not only the LAF, Maria Jordan's work, but your own work (and/or company) too.
  • Maria is donating the profits earned from the sales of these cards back to the not-for-prof recipients of the LAF.

See? Using these cards is a win-win-win investment and we're very thankful  for her generous efforts and gift!

You can view the cards via the Creative Cards section of her website, marcoujor's musings and contact her there or via email with questions or order requests. 

The pricing on the cards is:
1 Card - $5
Set of 5 Cards - $15 

Once again, bravo zulu to Captain Mike who designed the fantastic logo for both the Legacy Archives Foundation as well as the header for this blog, Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Before I move on, I'm compelled to mention that the photo of Maria I used above also includes one of her very best friends, Aunt Baby.

Aunt Baby graduated to a pain-free higher plane not long ago. She'd been a much-loved member of the Jordan family for many years. As Mar's devoted therapist, who worked for hugs and pets, Aunt Baby was also the manager of their neighborhood's Branch Office, when out for strolls with the family.

Here, I'll paraphrase one of my favorite quotes that appeared in my dad's memorial book when we were celebrating his life as well ... 

Semper Fi, Aunt Baby ... Take the point and lead us home.

Recipe for Bachelor's Contest via Life Talks - I Write!

PictureVicki Warner of WarnerWords
Vicki Warner became a Legacy Scribe during the production of MMB1 and also assisted with the production process.

She's continued to be a wonderful asset lending a hand with publicity, which is crucially important, often shouting it out for the Legacy Archives Foundation on her own website, Life Talks - I Write.

A few months ago she cranked things up a notch and started collections for her second book, a cookbook,  featuring simple recipes for bachelors and made a contest of it.

The contest is still going on, and ultimately the recipes will be gathered and published with proceeds from it going to the K9s for Warriors Program and Rescue.

So,  if you know anyone you can yank into the kitchen to whip up a simple recipe for bachelors, please do! Take notes and pics while you've got them cornered and email the whole thing to Vicki or contact her via the Contact Me page on Life Talks- I Write!

The contest rules are pretty simple. (Click HERE to view them.)

If you're a Legacy Scribe or Contributor, you can certainly enter a recipe, but you aren't eligible for a  prize, other than being featured in the cookbook, which is very cool and makes for some excellent publicity. However, just because the Legacy Scribes and Contributors can't enter a recipe and win a prize, your spouses, kids, parents, grandparents, neighbors and their local farmer's in the nearby dell can!

So,  please put the word out and encourage your kith and kin  to get tuh cookin'!

Thanks for the visit!

That's all I've got for this one. 

Thank you so much for visiting and staying abreast with what's going on with L.A.F., MMB3 and the associated fund raising projects!

If you know of anyone else who'd like to be added to the Legacy Archives Foundation mailing list, you're welcome to have them contact me, via email or fill out the form on the Contact Us  page here on the site and I'll be happy to include them on email notices of any new updates.

Blessings,

Awesome! I'm thrilled the articles are already pouring in. I need to get on the ball and contribute to MMB3 before the deadline ends up staring me in the face! I also have another recipe to submit to Vicki, if I can get it made before her deadline. Lordy Goshen! Time seems to escape me. Love Maria's cards as well. I've been the recipient of two of her creations and absolutely love them!

Shauna,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I understand about the time-escape thing and sympathize.

And, I agree on Mar's cards. They're beautiful and I love it that she's allowing them to represent the LAF.

Dear femme,

I am suddenly feeling as though this project has been given a heavenly 'fur muse' in Aunt Baby

"Semper Fi, Aunt Baby ... Take the point and lead us home."

Mike and Sha, Thanks for your validating and sweet remarks!

Thanks for doing such a wonderful job with this post...and now, to spread the word! Love ya, mar

Mar,

Aunt Baby is certainly an awesome representative of how some of the best healing doesn't come in the form of a pill and very happy she's got you to corroborate her story.

I'm sure the warriors and their K9 therapists would salute you both for being representatives to their cause. :)

Kimi,

Thank you for stopping by. It's always good to hear from the resident veterans' section. :)

I agree that Mar's cards make for another beautiful aspect of outreach for us.

Between her card representation and Vicki's cookbook, which is fattening up with some excellent recipes, I think we've been very blessed to have such diverse and excellent projects to enhance the LAF efforts.

What they're doing is very inspiring and I'm confident their participation will have awesome results.

Hi Femme,
Thanks for this timely update. I enjoyed the tribute to Aunt Baby and love the LAF cards that Maria has created-- your photo of it is great, and I was so pleased that the card features the amazing logo that Capt. Mike created.
It was also good seeing some promo for the awesome bachelor's recipe contest that Vicki is sponsoring, and about the fact that she is dedicating proceeds to the K9s for Wounded Warriors Rescue. The recipes so far, look mouth watering, and most importantly, easy to follow.
Thanks, as always, for your own efforts to keep the M & M series moving forward and for keeping this website up and running.
Love,
Gail

Hi Boomer!

Thank you for the very considerate comment.

I'm very happy about so much good stuff going on to raise awareness and monies for the not-for-profs represented.

This big ol' world is by and large a very bleak place, but in darkness is when even tiny lights blaze the brightest and are seen from the greatest distances.

Working to make a difference for the good always counts in big ways and my thanks to everyone involved to make that happen.
