#1 Tip for Prepping for Presentations

Hi Reader! Most of you know me by now -- you know that when it comes to media, I wouldn't suggest that you do anything that I wouldn't do (or haven't done) myself.

Sending ❤️ beyond V Day

Hi Reader! February is a month that holds lots of 'important' days (besides my birthday 🥳) including Valentine's Day, National Almond Day and National Drink Wine Day. 😉 It's also Heart Month which shines a light on taking care of your ticker. My connection to heart disease gets personal and is close to my own heart. My dad, mom, brother, and sister all had or have heart disease. That means that this silent killer could be at my doorstep … but that doesn’t mean I’m putting out a welcome mat! 🛑...

Would you pay to get published? 🤷🏻‍♀️
