He served as advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. Many of the books he offered surrounded success through personal achievement, self-mastery, a positive mental attitude and peace of mind. He was born October 26, 1883 and died November 8, 1970.

Love throughout the year!

     

Susan L. Taylor, ESSENCE Magazine Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, autographed a copy of her book for me, "All About Love" when I was selected as one of the 2009 General Mills Feeding Dreams Community Champions for our area. This book is about relationships, actively caring, strengthening our familes and communities, and our commitment to personal transformation, wealth building and social change. After reading this book, Susan's dialogue of what love is all about, takes on a totally renewed perspective of what life is.

Although today is Valentine's Day, this book goes beyond just one day of celebrating love and encourages a daily habit to follow. Thanks Susan and Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Fighting Heart Disease on National Wear Red Day

Today we celebrate National Wear Red Day. Sponsored by the American Heart Association to raise awareness and advocacy in the fight against heart disease, this nationwide movement encourages everyone to wear the color red. Red is symbolic for this disease, the number 1 killer of women in the United States.

What are you doing to commemorate National Wear Red Day? Is there someone you would like to pay tribute to who survived heart disease or someone you want to recognize in memory of this fatal disease? Visit the Go Red for Women website and see how you can get involved in your community and for your family.

There are a myriad of conditions we can control that would prevent or reduce the risk of heart disease. Be proactive and do something before it's too late!
