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.

Making Seasons Bright with Operation Christmas Child #OCCGiving


When I talk to my daughter, I always try to remind her how fortunate she truly is. Our lives have been enriched, not because of material items, but because we have a strong, warm, and loving family that supports one another no matter what. It is that bond that gets us through the toughest of times, and enriches each of our lives. There is nothing like love and family.

There are many children around the world who aren’t afforded the things that we are. And with the holidays fast approaching, it’s important for me to make sure my daughter does her part to help everyone have the best Christmas that they can. I got to know Operation Christmas Child through a campaign that myself, as well as many other bloggers are participating in. We want to spread the word about #OCCGiving so that every child can get a gift this holiday.

Operation Christmas Child is a “global Christmas gift exchange” and was started by Samaritan’s Purse, which has been giving away shoeboxes filled with gifts and toys for underprivileged children since 1990. Anyone can create and fill a shoebox full of items for Operation Child online.

Myself and The Chicklet took to task filling our shoebox for #OCCGiving on their. We had to decide if we wanted to give the shoebox to a girl or a boy, the age group, and the Operation Christmas Child website let us click and drag the items we wanted to put into the box.

Operation Christmas has a list of things that you can put in the shoebox. Items that can be in the shoebox include soft toys and small stuffed animals, and clothing such as hats, socks, gloves, etc.

You can add a photo and a personal note to the box, and for a donation of $30.00, a shoebox full of your items will make a child’s Christmas that much more special. I hope that you create your own #OCCGiving shoebox to give to a child in need this holiday season.

This holiday season build a box with your family to teach kindness, compassion, and generosity.

Operation Christmas Child and influencer marketing platform BlogFrog have teamed up with 200 bloggers like me to spread the word about this great cause.

BlogFrog will match the first 200 boxes that are built. Pledge your commitment below to build a box today on Facebook or Twitter!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Operation Christmas Child. The opinions and text are all mine.
