As we continue Heart month, we can’t forget the health benefits of vino. My heart loves wine and thank God wine loves my heart. I’ve tried multiple times to forgo the delicate Pinot Noir with friends or crisp Chardonnay on a hot summer day, but I just can’t. It’s pure, decanted bliss and I guess that just like everything else in life–moderation is key. I came across some Wild Wine Facts I wanted to share. These are from an Australian…
Love Letter Lessons
I want you to take a moment and reflect. Turn down the television or music–clear your mind. Think back to when you got your first love letter. Do you remember whom it was from?

Was it shoved in your desk when you weren’t looking; placed into your palm as you passed in the hallway?…
Caring for Your Heart in Your 20’s and 30’s

On February 10th she receives one of the most prestigious honors: The Woman’s Day Red Dress Award…
Red Dress Ready Inspiration: Natasha Fleishman
Okay, so I’m frustrated… at myself. I have been trying, relentlessly, to pull up the clip of Fox Business News featuring the heart disease survivors, Natasha Fleishman and Eileen Drezcka, who were on to discuss their “Red Dress Ready” success by losing weight on Nutrisystem (I need to state that I don’t endorse Nutrisystem. They are working with my charity of choice, WomenHeart: The National Coalition of Women With Heart Disease. I’m just for women being empowered and losing weight…
Red Dress Ready Lessons With Evan McCabe
An estimated 42 million American women are currently living with, or are at risk of heart disease — making it the #1 killer among women in this amazing country of ours. Also, obesity is a leading risk factor and 61% of American women are overweight and obese! In response to this rising health crisis, WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease and Nutrisystem created the Getting Red Dress Ready campaign. The campaign challenged overweight women across America living…
