September 2009 marked two important milestones in my life and career.
First, in a move that would spare me from another Winter in the sub-zero regions known as The Frozen Tundra, I packed the most important of my earthly possessions and took up residence in sunny South Florida!
Now, that is not to say there aren’t things I miss from that area of the country… it’s just that the weather is definitely not among them! And the wonderful friends, well… technology has made keeping in touch a breeze!
But the second milestone was much more important.
Beginning in September, and continuing throughout the month of October, we added to the national conversation about health care in an effort that would see many of you getting involved, writing to our congressional leaders, and making an impact.
For that, I thank you.
Specifically, we shined the light on addiction as it relates to the COST of health care. We addressed issues of common illnesses that are completely treatable and avoidable. And we exposed the biggest culprit in the health (unhealth) of our society… that of obesity.
So this past weekend, it was a breath of fresh air as headlines across the country blared the news of our First-Lady’s cause of fighting obesity… first within her own family, and then in yours.
But in each account, there was something missing. And for that I am going to ask for your help once again. Please come back next week… prepared to get involved for just fifteen or twenty minutes. Together, we can make a difference.
I look forward to speaking with you then.
