Fabulous February: Wellness Wednesday – Heart Health Week 2

Leave a comment

Happy Wednesday! We made it halfway through another work week and to another Wellness Wednesday dedicated to Heart Health.

This month Bravera Hospital is doing a 28 day heart challenge. You can sign up for daily emails here and catch up on missed challenges here.

The Day 3 challenge was to Step Up and Get Exercising. Per the article walking 20 minutes a day for 15 weeks can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Are you a walker or a step counter? I aim for at least 5,000 steps a day and a few weeks back started walking 20 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Share your step goal or exercise routine with us as well as anything esle you are doing this month for Heart Health.

Be Peaceful,

Fabulous February: Throwback Thursday – Black History Month Edition 1

Leave a comment

I hope everyone is having a Fabulous Thursday and a wonderful week so far!

For our first Throwback Thursday – Black History Month Edition I enlisted my husband to pick the historical person or event. Since it is also Heart Health Month he picked………

https://columbiasurgery.org/news/daniel-hale-williams-and-first-successful-heart-surgery

Daniel Hale was the son of a Barber, the fifth of seven children, and started his young adult life as a Shoemaker. He soon realized that he aspired for more. He went to medical school and then joined a private practice. He believed that Chicago should and could have a hospital open to all with both black and white doctors, staff, and students. On May 4, 1891, he achieved this with the first Black Owned hospital, Provident.

In 1893 a young man with a stab wound was brought in. Dr. Hale realized that the wound was fatal. He created a small door through the ribs and found a gash on an artery as well as one on the heart itself. He sutured the artery and then used forceps to hold the gash on the heart closed while he sewed it shut. The patient was able to leave the hospital in less than 2 months and lived for many more years, thanks to Dr. Hale’s quick thinking and willingness to try something new.

Dr. Daniel Hale had many more achievements after this and continued to help advance the medical community, for all races.

Knowledge is power and with togetherness we find strength.

Hi all, last week I eat many tasty things but probably the best was the homemade Chicken Gnocchi soup! I made this Friday for our families bonfire night, and it was a hit. I have included a link to the recipe I loosely follow. What did you eat this week that was Tasty?

No Excuse November Day 24: Think About It Thursday 🍂🍃🍁

Leave a comment

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, I reflect on all the wonderful Thanksgivings I have been blessed with and everything I am thankful for! Life is not always easy and will never be perfect because there are no perfect people, but there is always so much to be thankful for. What are you reflecting on today?

“Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter what befalls us in life, we can take the charred remnants and we can reconstruct a life unimaginably richer than that from which the shards and pieces fell.”     ~ CRAIG D. LOUNSBROUGH

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”     ~ OPRAH WINFREY

Be Peaceful,

Just stopping by to share my Habit Tracker! One more successful week down means one more week closer to my goals!

Habit Tracker Week 2!

A couple of days ago, I mentioned struggling with the time change. It’s dark more than it is light, which makes me sleepy. I restarted taking my vitamin D, and about mid-day I open the blinds; this has really seemed to help. I am not ready for bed at 6:30pm, the last 2 nights LOL. I also order a personal sunlight lamp, which I will start using tomorrow.

I would love to hear about your goals, habits, wellness challanges, wellness vitories, etc….

Be Peaceful,
