I thought I might share with you this journey that my husband, Robert and I have been traveling for about the last 18 months.  If you did not know, Robert has heart issues that over his life time have reared its ugly head many times.  Each time we make changes to our life style and the situation seemsd to improve.  Until the next time...... So... many of you know that about a year and a half ago Robert had another episode and was taken to the hospital with severe chest pains.  They ran a multitude of tests and decided that there was nothing they could do for him.  It seems that the artery on the backside of his heart (known as the widow maker) is blocked.  And evidently because of the location of this artery a stint cannot be done.  The cardiologist said that the best thing Robert and I could do is to make changes to our life style.  Eat a plant based diet, exercise at least 3 times a week and remove as much stress from...

I decorated this clipboard with one of my favorite paper packs (no it is not CTMH) and am giving it to one of my favorite peeps.  Debbie and I have know each other for forever.  We are sidelines in Close to My Heart world.  When we met we found that we had so many things in common including our love for CTMH.  We live many miles apart but we pick right back up where we left off every year at convention.  It's the best! Life has brought about many changes over the years but friendship is a constant one hopes will never change.  Don't mean to get mushy.  Just reflecting on my 22 years with Close to My Heart and the many ladies I have met and grown close to and am honored to call my friends.  Thank you all for sharing life with me and the love of crafting.  Until we pick up again where we left off I pray you never run short of craft supplies and that God directs the desires of your heart. Enjoy your Friday, Nan
