OnThisDay on July 12, 2020, Kelly Preston died at the age of 57 at her home in Clearwater, Florida, two years after she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her diagnosis was not widely publicized. Preston had been receiving treatment at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and had also been treated at other medical centers. Travolta announced her death on his Instagram account

Kelly Kamalelehua Smith (October 13, 1962 – July 12, 2020), known professionally as Kelly Preston appeared in more than 60 television and film productions, including Mischief (1985), Twins (1988), Jerry Maguire (1996), and For Love of the Game (1999). She married John Travolta in 1991, and collaborated with him on the comedy film The Experts (1989) and the biographical film Gotti (2018). She also starred in the films SpaceCamp (1986), The Cat in the Hat (2003), What a Girl Wants (2003), Sky High (2005), and Old Dogs (2009).

Cancer doesn’t punish. It devours—and while it destroys lives, an entire industry feeds on our fear and suffering.

Julian McMahon was 56—a striking figure whose looks never seemed to fade. On July 2, he quietly lost his battle with cancer. No headlines. No public updates. Just a sudden disappearance that stunned us all. We assume that celebrities have top‐tier doctors, beachfront hospitals, and Ivy League staff. But cancer doesn’t care who you are—whether you’re a Hollywood star or a school bus driver, it shows up uninvited and begins to eat you from the inside.

Behind every infusion and incision lies a billion‐dollar racket. A single round of chemotherapy in the U.S. can run \$10,000 to \$40,000. Surgery? Easily \$100,000 to \$200,000—if all goes smoothly. And once metastases appear, you might be scrambling to sell a kidney just to cover costs.

Like flies on a carcass, Big Pharma, private clinics, YouTube “gurus,” and shady supplement peddlers swarm in. They all promise a cure—for a price. Real breakthroughs don’t generate the same recurring revenue as “maintenance” treatments. Lifelong chemo or immunotherapy means a guaranteed stream of subscription‐style payments.
Meanwhile, in public hospitals, patients endure chemo hooked up to IV poles and plastic buckets by their beds. Six‐year‐olds beg their moms, “Not again, please!” and parents beg friends and family to fund a new, experimental German drug—because without it, there’s no hope.

In upscale clinics, doctors wear compassion masks—yet their eyes flash dollar signs. “Have you considered immunotherapy?” they ask. “It’s very promising—just \$15,000 per course.”
This isn’t healing; it’s a mercenary strip show, stripping away your dignity, your savings—and then your life. If you survive the disease, the system built on your suffering may finish you off.
Cancer is no longer the exception. It’s the backdrop of our lives—a massive purge that we pretend will one day end with a miracle cure. Meanwhile, patients die, and others profit from their silence.

Share this story. Make some noise. Because until we demand change, people will keep dying—and corporations will keep cashing checks.

PAPER BAG DAY

On July 12, we recognize the significance of an invention we take for granted on Paper Bag Day. Not only do we carry our groceries or our lunches in a paper bag, but this highly functional item comes in handy in a surprising number of ways.

Millions of people use paper bags every day. Readily recyclable, paper bags have been around for many years. American inventor, Francis Wolle, received credit for his patent of the first paper bag machine in 1852. Another paper bag inventor, William Goodale, received his patent on July 12th, 1859. His was designed to cut the paper such that it was ready for folding. Margaret E. Knight became known as “the mother of the grocery bag” after she designed the square, flat-bottomed bag, and the machine that would fold and paste them in 1870. Over the years, other inventors have received recognition and patents for their inventions of devices that improve the paper bag or its production.

Help reduce anxiety when hyperventilating – Cover your nose and mouth with the open end of the paper sack and fill the bag with your breath. Breath in and out until breathing becomes normal again.
Serve popcorn – When making a large amount of popcorn for a group, serve popcorn in small size paper bags. The paper bags also absorb any oil used to season the popcorn so the snack will be less messy.

Arts and crafts – Paper bags make great puppets, masks, and windsocks. Get decorating with your kids and have fun while doing it, too!
Gift bags – Recycle and make gift bags. Whether you give homebaked goodies or another thoughtful gift, your gift bag may steal the show.

Ripen fruit – Don’t wait for green fruit to ripen. Put it in a paper bag and fold the top. This traps the ethylene gas given off by the fruit, which helps it to mature. Want them to ripen even faster? Put an apple in there, too.

NATIONAL SIMPLICITY DAY

National Simplicity Day on July 12 honors transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, a man who advocated a life of simplicity. A man of many talent and skill, Thoreau was a supporter of living the simple life and encouraging others to do the same.

Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) lived his life as many things including an author, naturalist, philosopher, and historian. He was also known to be a tax resister, abolitionist, development critic, and surveyor. His book, Walden, is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings.

In our fast, ever-increasingly busy lifestyles, the observance encourages stepping back and looking at ways to simplify our lives. It’s an opportunity to declutter and eliminate the unnecessary burdens that weigh us down. Even taking a few moments to tune into nature helps us to refocus and find balance.

EAT YOUR JELL-O DAY

July 12 easily directs us what to do on Eat Your Jello Day! With plenty of flavors to choose from, you should have no problem finding one you like.

Trademarked in 1897 by Pearle Wait of Leroy, New York, Jell-O is the novel and fun dessert loved by millions. Francis Woodward, who later purchased the recipe and trademark, eventually made Jell-O a household name. With 21 different flavors, Jell-O satisfies every taste and can be enjoyed in numerous combinations.

Jell-O’s primary ingredient is gelatin. Gelatin consists of collagen, specifically animal collagen. It’s a protein extracted from the connective tissues of cows and pigs. Once the protein is broken down and extracted, the collagen is dried and ground into a fine powder.
Jell-O has been the subject of many classroom art and science projects throughout the years. From the study of viscosity and laser beams to gelatin artwork, Jell-O inspires in and outside the kitchen.

Eat Your Jell-O Day specifically tells us to eat. So, whether it is molded, layered, or mixed with fruit, vegetables, or marshmallows, be sure to have some. It’s delicious as a salad, dessert, or even a shot. Jell-O doesn’t break the budget either, nor does it add too many calories. Where can you go wrong?

NATIONAL DIFFERENT COLORED EYES DAY

National Different Colored Eyes Day on July recognizes those who have two different colored eyes. Many people captivate us with their eye color; others do so because they have two different colored eyes. This day celebrates them in all their uniqueness!
