FEBRUARY ACTIVITIES DEAR TO MY HEART
You can't put a monetary value on feeling well. Anyone who has been ill even with a common cold can agree. Because I felt the way that I did, I considered it was normal until the struggle to breathe worsened.
What would you do with a God-given second chance? My "calling" in life is to share my story and remind the ill that anything is possible. The thing I find most often with people is they don't have time to hear the impact this has on the body and on a family. I wrote on my facebook page that when someone sees me shopping for groceries, or at a basketball game they have no idea of the extreme care I still must take with my health. It is an assumption that well "he don't need nothin'!"
A new game plan has been developed. Chapter by chapter I am taking the strategy of X's and O's to explain risk factors associated with heart disease wherever I can. Not just in February or at special events. You should see me at Kroger! Though I am not a doctor, many doctors haven't been where I have. Certainly I direct anyone to find a healthcare professional to improve their condition.
