February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

The Real Housewives of Miami: Snore, Bore, or Adore?


After watching part 2 of RHOA’s Reunion show and Bravo’s Watch What Happens Next Live this past Sunday, viewers were treated with a special treat—a sneak peak at the first episode of the Real Housewives of Miami. After being suddenly thrust into the spotlight after the Real Housewives of New York went bust (they needed more time to film and edit their next installment), Andy Cohen and the powers that be at Bravo decided to flip the script and premiere RHOM ahead of schedule.

I watched the entire preview episode as well as the full premiere show last night, but I wasn’t impressed with this latest stable of Real Housewives. For some reason, they either seemed too old or too plastic to be entertaining. But since it is one of the best franchises on reality television, I will give them a few more tries before calling them a complete bust.

Larsa Pippin (wife of former Chicago Bulls player Scottie Pippin) looks like she is going to cause some problems this season, and PR firm owner Marysol Patton seems like she will bring some comic fodder to the group. I guess we will have to stay tuned to see what develops!

Here are pics of the RHOM cast at their premiere party at Eden Rock on Miami Beach.

What did you think of the new RHOM cast? Snore, bore, or adore?

      Monica, I am going to give it another try, but if they don’t amuse me, I won’t be watching any longer. RHODC were a snore as well.

    Ohh I missed this and was looking forward to watching it. I have to schedule my DVR right now. Too plastic – isn’t that a prerequisite for being on the Real Housewives?

      Jeni, I don’t find the Real Housewives of ATL or NYC plastic—they are very authentic and in your face. A few of the Miami women looks tranny-esque. There’s a difference between a little nip and tuck here and a total overhaul. LOL

    I wasn’t impressed. Boring to me. But it’s not really even that. It’s nothing different. Just different women in a different state with the same foolishness. I watched only about 20 minutes before I changed the channel.

    Just a quick update – I watched “The Real Housewives of Miami” and I was sad that it didn’t hold my attention at all, and I turned it off 45 minutes into it. Miami is my favorite city, but I just couldn’t get into the women on the show, and I already watch enough TV. I can’t wait for the OC version to come back next week!
