Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Awareness Week 2012

The problem with having two blogs is that sometimes I'm conflicted about which blog to write on.  This was a tough one.  A lot of people check AnnaSophia's blog for updates on how she's doing.  I've used it to raise awareness about congenital heart defects (CHDs) as well.  I just wrote a new post about Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week (February 7-14, 2012).  After much thought, I decided to post it to Rabbit Trails and Detours.

The post is all about CHDs, so why did I post it there?  Because Rabbit Trails and Detours is a forum for my mental meanderings and the "what's-going-on-in-my-life" updates.  I realize that I haven't posted much--on either blog.  It's partly because I've been so busy, but it's also partly because I needed a period of time to keep some things to myself.  But, CHD Week is a big part of my life.  This is our second year planning out events and raising awareness in our local community, so I felt like RT&D was the best place to put it.

The problem with a blog is that I feel the need to write and write and write....

The great thing about social media like Facebook is that a person can post a sentence.  It's quick and easy.  For whatever reason, a blog unleashes sentence after sentence.  So before I carry on too much, click here to read all about CHD Week in Colorado Springs...the why, the what and the where.

Blessings.

Heart Heroes Gallery Update

The American Heart Association's Heart Heroes Gallery is currently located at Chapel Hills Mall in the north part of Colorado Springs.  We will have volunteers handing out information tomorrow, Saturday, January 1st, from 12pm to 3pm at the mall.  Sunday, the gallery will move to the East Library and Information Center.  This is one of the large branches of the Pikes Peak Library District.  The gallery will be located just outside of the children's area for all to see.  If you have not seen the gallery yet, I highly encourage you to take a look at it in person.  It is very moving and inspiring to see these beautiful children's faces and read their stories of triumph and bravery through their fight with heart disease.
