From The Heart

February 6th is wear red day so let's all wear red tomorrow and show our support against heart disease. This is a disease that hits home with me and I know alot of us out there have different causes that we feel the same way about but heart disease is that cause for me. My mom and brother both died very suddenly of massive heart attacks. You can go here and read the post I did awhile back on my mom's death and God's great grace that was given to me. But the fact remains that heart disease is the number one killer of women. Know the facts and go here and get a free heart risk checkup, it takes only a few minutes to do and like they say it can save your life. I want to be here to watch my grandbabies grow up, I want to dance at their weddings. So here are a few ideas from the Go Red site to reduce your risk, be active, choose baked not fried, go here and read some more. Hey, I started adding a few heart healthy almonds(the cocoa ones that" b**ch cakes", talks about are yummy, she has the best weight watcher website I have found) to my diet each day, not only are they delish but have heart benefits to them. Even red wine has heart benefits.

Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now but I can't stress how important this is to women everywhere. So let's go shopping for some red. You can find all of these great items plus more at shop heart. You guys know I love pink but if I can't have pink I'll pick red everytime This is a cute tee shirt, I love anything with sparkle on it.

I love this red brooch.

And I think this hat is my favorite, it'll be perfect to wear when the snow is gone and I can get outside and walk again. So go to your doctor and get your heart checked out and wear red tomorrow. Oh and Macy's is having 20% off for anyone wearing red now through Sunday(guess where I'm going :-)

Also, don't forget about Brenda's Photo Challenge on Saturday. The theme is textures and patterns and you can go here to play along with us. I know this has nothing to do with the go red post but I probably won't post again till the challenge on Saturday! Have a good one and go drink a glass of red wine and eat some almonds and be good to your heart!
