Lois wants to be on a Disney Float

As much as it pains me to write this, I've decided to combine Lois Wants to be on a Disney Float with my nonprofit's page here. Oh believe me, I still want to be on a Disney Float, and I get overtaken with the thought that this opportunity has passed me by. But, I must believe that there is a place for me on a Disney Float. One where I can look fancy, pretty and nice. I know that if I were to be asked to be on a Disney Float it would most likely be to play a mean stepmother, a mean women who would wear the fur of adorable puppies as a coat, or a chubby woman living alone in the woods with a fox. I want to be on a Disney Float to represent that at 56 years of age, I can waive with a tiara with the best of them. I know I'm not Peter Pan, or as my mother says, "Peta Pan" but I'm a person that simply wants to see her dreams come true. Everything I write on FB is to encourage women to be nice to that person they see in the mirror. That to me is the first step on living heart healthy. Heart Disease is women's #1 Killer, but it is Preventable and Controllable. Let's do this!

Then quietly, almost in a whisper, I hear a younger woman’s voice say, “I thought I was protected during my child-bearing years, so I figured I’d stop smoking when I turned 40.” Somehow, the small voice sounds familiar, and silently I pray it’s not one of my daughters. Then I see the girl, and she’s the same age as my oldest daughter. This lovely young woman clears her throat and tells me, “I miss my children so much. My little girl is only 5, and my baby boy just turned 3. Please tell everyone that heart disease doesn’t care what we wear, or what age we are. Tell them now.”

Half a million women, I think to myself, half a million deaths each year that might have been prevented. And I gain renewed strength from knowing that my story can make it possible for wives to remain with their husbands, mothers with their young children, and their children’s children.

Last Mother’s Day was also during National Women’s Health Week.

I’m asking everyone who reads this email to click the link below and buy the book “SURVIVING”.

This book puts a face to women’s biggest killer: mine. I am your neighbor, your sister, your co-worker, the woman next to you panting on the treadmill—and yes, that’s me you see Saturday morning at the grocery store. I am not a doctor, and this book isn’t a medical guide, nor is it another book filled only with facts, figures, and data. It’s an honest story by someone who has lived through the trials of life and matters of the heart. Women relate to women, especially a woman who shares what’s happening deep within her chest. Once you see my heart, your own heart will become clearer.
