Quote of the day...

”Ohana means Family, Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten“ - Lilo and Stitch

Family is Everything...

Family is everything.... that's what my Mom would tell us when we were little...

I grew up in a tight knit Hispanic Family . I was the first child and the first grandchild. Being the first came with a lot of perks. Soon my cousin was born, and then more and more cousins came. We were a very happy content large family. My Mother was the eldest female of eight children. Every weekend, we'd drive to my Grandparents house to spend time with all of my Aunts and Uncles.

Family was everything.... it still is,and will always be.... only now with my direct family, my four daughters and son in law.

It's so strange not being able to see my extended family during this last year, however, that should not be an excuse to stay connected. Making a call or writing a letter to your Aunt or Cousin, or Sibling or Parent can make a world of difference.

We've all been affected one way or another during the covid-19 Pandemic, however, it is very important to keep connected to your Family. Call a family member once a week, or more, to see how they are doing. Schedule a Family chat online. Write a letter to a loved one and make their day. Send a care package to a parent... All of these ways of communicating work wonders.

Find new ways to keep connected and have fun while doing it. Get Creative!

It's Super Bowl Sunday!

National Wear Red Day

In 2004, The American Heart Association created Go Red For Women, a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.

Go Red For Women encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life.

Why should you help the American Heart Association? Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. When you donate, you contribute to funds that allow them to help women by offering educational programs, advancing women’s understanding about their risk for heart disease and providing tools and motivation to help women reduce their risk to protect their health.
