President Jimmy Carter created a Proclamation in March 1980 designating the month as Women’s History Month. This initiative aimed to honor and commemorate the countless contributions that women have made throughout history across various fields, including science, politics, arts, and social movements. The observance serves as a reminder of the integral role women have played in shaping society and advocating for change, despite often being overlooked in traditional narratives.

Another Milestone Celebrating African American History

Posted on by autocreate740

News you can use 🙂

It is February 28th, and the celebration of Black History Month is coming to a close. However, today, the United States Postal Service (USPS) unveiled a new stamp that pays tribute to the remarkable history and legacy of Harriet Powers, an iconic figure in the world of African American art and storytelling. Powers, who flourished during the 19th century, is best known for her beautifully crafted quilts that depicted significant events and narratives from her life and the broader experiences of African Americans.

This stamp not only honors her contributions to art and culture but also reflects the enduring spirit and resilience within the African American community as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of various important milestones in their history. Harriet Powers’ quilts are considered treasures that narrate powerful stories, weaving together threads of history, faith, and community.

For those interested in delving deeper into Harriet Powers’ life and the historical context surrounding her work, I invite you to tune into my podcast Judith Guerra Wellness Connections. In this episode, I provide her early history and, insights into how Powers influenced contemporary art and culture. Additionally, I’ve included a selection of links in the podcast details to help you further explore the impactful legacy of Harriet Powers and the broader narrative of African American history.

Podcast available on Apple, Spotify, Buzzsprout, Amazon Music, and other platforms

Join me in celebrating this significant occasion by listening to the podcast and discovering how the stories of individuals like Harriet Powers continue to inspire and educate us today. Together, we can honor a vibrant culture that has significantly shaped the fabric of our nation.

FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART MONTH

Posted on by autocreate740

As an Open Heart Surgery survivor of 30 years, I have experienced firsthand the profound impact that heart health has on overall well-being. Heart Wellness is something I am very close to, not just because of my journey, but also due to the alarming statistics surrounding heart disease, particularly among women. It turns out that women are some of the people most significantly impacted by heart disease, yet often misdiagnosed or overlooked until it’s too late—sometimes from an early age! It’s critical to recognize that heart health is a lifelong commitment, and preventative care cannot start early enough. This February, as the American Heart Association celebrates awareness and knowledge about this challenging condition, I urge everyone to join in the efforts to educate and empower others. Please share this vital information with your communities, families, and friends, as raising awareness can save lives and foster a healthier future for all.

Mammograms for Seniors

Posted on by autocreate740

October has been Breast Cancer month and I am always pleasantly surprised to see how many of us support the cause of finding a cure. This month I would like to call your attention to a few “Pink” news items.
Have you heard the Pink song by Dolly Parton and other artists? I hope it will lift your spirits and lead you to donate to this formidable cause.

I would like to share the following breast cancer information that senior woman should be aware of. Finding cancer in early stages results in simpler and effective treatment.

In August of this year a New York Times article reviewed a few of the options older women (75 years and up) can consider before having a mammogram during Covid-19 times. As usual, always check with your doctor before making any decisions regarding your breast health.
Statistics show the incidence of breast cancer as women age increases. Facing decisions for treatment can have an impact on emotional and physical well-being.

It’s HEART Month for Love & Health

Posted on by autocreate740

February is a great time to celebrate  Valentine’s Day, and being grateful for the  love in our lives.  It’s also Heart Awareness Month.  Yes!  As a Brave Heart survivor of open heart surgery of almost  25 years,  this is an issue close to my heart 😊 (pun intended).

Heart disease is a complicated health challenge all over the world.  However, in particular, this month I would like to call attention to the fact that  heart attack  symptoms  for women are quite different from the ones diagnosed for men.  In addition, women are often misdiagnosed in emergency rooms after the heart damage has occurred [ref: https://myheartsisters.org/2009/05/28/heart-attack-misdiagnosis-women].  Below are some of the signs women should consider when being diagnosed for heart disease.  Notice there is no suggestion of heavy chest pain.

♥ Shortness of breath, ♥ Pain in one or both arms, ♥ Nausea or vomiting,
♥ Sweating, ♥ Lightheadedness, or dizziness, ♥ Unusual fatigue, ♥ Indigestion.
