GO RED, Week 2! Take Care of You!



Every Friday this month is Go Red. It's to bring attention to women's heart health. Did you know that worldwide 8.6 million women die of heart disease each year? 8 million women, in the US, are currently living with heart disease.  We need to take care of ourselves, Ladies!! We spend a lot of time taking care of everyone else around us, that we tend to neglect ourselves.  Take some time for yourself. Take a walk. Eat an apple. Read a book. Know your risk factors for heart disease.  Just TAKE CARE OF YOU!!  I promise, the world won't fall apart if you take a little time for YOU! If you don't love yourself enough to take care of you, how can you expect anyone else to?

Any big plans for the weekend? Tomorrow, I plan to sleep late!! And hopefully, spend some time with Lise. Our kids are dying to get together, too!!  And in case I haven't mentioned it, her husband is my new best friend!! He helped me out this week in a big way and I really appreciate it!!

  5. I have taken your lecture to heart. Seriously. A number of years ago when I was a single mother a physician drilled this in to me: if YOU don't take care of yourself, who will care for these children? That certainly put things into perspective.
