Tomorrow is “National Wear Red Day”. It’s designated as a day to bring awareness to women and men that heart disease is the number one killer of women. We fear breast cancer more but there is a greater survival rate with it than there is with heart disease. The campaign to make women aware of [...]
This is the time of year where we get so caught up in the holidays that we sometimes forget the little and not so little things in our lives that really matter.

I have a wedding to attend in 2 1/2 weeks. I rarely get dressed up so I only have one dress that I wore to a couple of weddings two years ago. It’s one of those little black dresses and is still in style. I tried it on today hoping it still fit. Well, it’s [...]
