I think it is clear by now that I’m loving the fashion focus of the Go Red for Women and Heart Truth awareness campaigns. I was in one fashion show and wrote about another. I pinned an entire board of red fashion inspiration on Pinterest. I’ve worn red every single day this month and have […]

I had so much fun at the Red Dress Collection show tonight (and fun at dinner and drinks before, and dessert and drinks after, too, which makes for one tired blogger on a self-imposed deadline). The event was full of new experiences (VIP seats, bling and makeup in my goody bag, the Graves 601 Hotel, seeing […]

This month there is a picture of me on billboards and bus shelters in the Twin Cities. Last August I posed for the photos with fellow heart survivors Angie and Jennifer, and this year’s Go Red fundraising chairperson, Andrea.

It was also a competition; […]

Please wear red today and tell people why. This is the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Declaration. It […]

February is American Heart Month, and to celebrate, I’ve set a goal of one blog post per day! (I’ve also set a goal of working out every single day too, but that one’s harder to share.) Some of the posts will feature photos and remarks from heart month events and presentations I am making to […]

Last week I recorded this public service announcement with Twin Cities Fox 9 morning anchor Alix Kendall. (And while I’m getting more comfortable with the camera, I still have a ways to go!) This will air on open commercial slots on Fox 9 and my29, which means probably late at night and early morning. Best […]
