Just A Thought

I read a moving and heartfelt post on Michelle's blog, Verbal, this morning. It is about her mom and the disease that she suffers from: Primary Pulmonary Hypertension.

Heart issues continue to be a huge concern for women.

Please check out this site for more information. As Michelle mentioned, this disease is not well-known; consequently, it doesn't get the attention it needs.

Also, if you aren't sure what to get someone for Christmas (if they seem to have everything), consider making a small donation to a charity in their name.

I just read an article this week about how heart disease is the number one thing affecting woman! So yes, more awareness!

And what a thoughtful and wonderful gift idea!

As if we women didn't have enough to worry about. Now this. Thanks for the link. Awareness is the key.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments.

Ldahl, your comment meant so much to me! I read it late last night, after a day of obsessing. I am so thankful for all of the people I've "met" over the internet--what a gift!
