Do you Facebook? Did you get invited to this event? Since my dad suffered from such terrible heart disease, anything to do with it holds a special place in my own heart. Now I just have to come up with something clever to post in my status. Any great ideas?
Time Tomorrow at 12:00am - Saturday at 12:00am

Hello to all of my sisters!
I am writing this note for a couple of reasons...this will be my own personal social experiment of sorts...I hope you will participate...
1. February 4, 2011 is National Wear Red Day to promote Heart Health for Women. I hope that you will consider wearing red that day, even a scarf or mittens, to show your support.
2. We have posted secret messages as our Facebook status about the color of our bras, underwear and also about where we store our purses.
3. I am proposing that on February 4, 2011, your Facebook status be a word or phrase that describes your heart. Finish your status with the phrase "...and it's RED!" It can be anything...some examples: It's full of love...and it's RED!...It's huge...and it's RED!...It's broken, but mending...and it's RED!...you get the idea.
4. Please pass this along and tag your female friends and relatives...let's see if it takes off as well as the bra/purse status' did.
5. My purpose is to raise awareness of the importance of taking care of your heart. We are all aware of the effects of breast cancer to women...we need to reinforce the importance of good heart health to women also.
6. The month of February will also be a year since my "event;" what a difference a year makes...50 pounds lighter...100% stronger...physically and mentally. It takes a wake-up call to make you realize how precious your life is.
7. Consider this note my wake-up call to you. If you haven't had a physical recently, make an appointment. If you are over 40 and haven't had a stress test, ask your doctor to schedule one.
8. Make sure that you are your own health advocate, no one is watching out for you, but you. Remember that always.
9. I have learned quite a bit about myself and general well-being. Don't have a serious event be the catalyst to a healthier heart and lifestyle for you.
10. I have sent this note to you because I love and care about you and your heart. Take good care of you.
