Husky Girl

Ever since I was 8 years old, I have struggled with a weight problem.  I had become “husky” as my well-meaning family affectionately called me.  I started to diet and watch my calories.  I soon became aware of what I was suppose to eat and what I was not suppose to eat.  I seemed to eat less and less, and still I would gain weight.  I also started to have health challenges along the way.

Dr. Louis Ignarro – No More Heart Disease

After reading her post, I was inspired to write about Dr. Louis Ignarro (click to go to his website), who won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of Nitric Oxide (NO).  Since his discovery, he has been spreading the good news about heart disease.  He says “you can reduce the risk or prevent heart disease through my NO-boosting regimen“.

Be Bold Yet Humble

A few years ago I was taught a concept “Be Bold on the Outside yet Humble on the Inside” by my friend and mentor Ellie Drake.  Ellie Drake is president and CEO of BraveHeart Productions, and she has a social networking site for woman with a purpose, called Braveheart Women.
