Being the #1 cause of death in the U.S., killing someone every 34 seconds (1), it is crucial for each of us to educate ourselves on this very serious disease. What better time to do this than during Heart Disease Awareness Month?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />I, for one, was diagnosed with heart disease when I was in my 20's and I feel fortunate. One might ask how in the world I could feel fortunate that I have heart disease. Well, it's not having heart disease that I feel fortunate about. It's the fact that I <em>found out</em> I have it. Thousands of people die unexpectedly every year because they don't know the 'signs' of an impending heart attack. In other words, they haven't become educated on the matter. Being diagnosed motivates a person to learn everything he/she can possibly learn about it, and that's exactly what I did. Not only was I able to begin appropriate treatment but I'm aware of danger signs to look for and what to do should they arise. To be on Heart/BP medication in your 30's definitely isn't any fun but it beats the possible alternative.<br /><br />The important thing to remember here is that Awareness and Education could save your or a Loved One's life and you don't have to be diagnosed with heart disease to obtain that knowledge. Make this February the time to educate yourself on heart disease. A great place to start is the </span><a title="American Heart Association" href="http://www.americanheart.org/" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.americanheart.org"><span style="font-family:arial;">American Heart Association </span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">website.</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Of course, another key to 'getting the word out' about Heart Disease is raising and promoting Awareness. </span><a title="Awareness Gift Boutique" href="http://www.awarenessgiftboutique.com/" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.awarenessgiftboutique.com"><span style="font-family:arial;">Awareness Gift Boutique</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> has created some awesome designs that we will be releasing just in time for Heart Disease Awareness Month.

Our newfound knowledge will not only equip us with the ability to identify the early signs & symptoms of these illnesses but will enable us to be able to understand & empathize with those who are battling one of them.

Here’s a sneak peek of some of our newest releases:<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><p align="left"><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/greenribbon/6374321"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290609431018266290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfRGYekKujL7wVQCg00KxU0w6EDfUyd9Vr1DEkCQJLg5VXN1OJx6JBne0GdrOBw_DtIzd_TxsT7en1_Nf16_jyUm5zevTVREp1dKfd-y-elIhlxvdNHpeCVRP35aqjpwMdGdbFBWF6vXc/s200/GLAUCOMA2.png" border="0" /></a></p><a href="http://awarenessgiftboutique.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi/awarenessgifts.awarenessgifts.6364648+cure-cervical-cancer-1.html"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290606957965780850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKgOPTykNUfaMrVMD4nPJ02SlbYTc_lvnxdMpKeFJeFFryrmVAbWJfUAhDo4Yx8CB1unLsiv7BzmnfIDxAnj4uyDdYPG54gY7fo8zVPS4uTsOTg9U8fTukxbM9kFRyDYjWPXQ6kMxu9PA/s200/CERV1.png" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290605400153057858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXGm5GBhFnVSSmCFonnKuI1dwQXwiXilJx4i3Ez8YT1VqPUm_t6vGB-kWjooPo8yNxAa31NCdvBwnaQJ3Rtn2NdE_EHzAp-V9r4A9yXSOqyaVXKSfcSEwdwfxU7JvAbjln4G7o1LE-H_k/s200/CERV2.png" border="0" /><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/greenribbon/6373169"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290604856914766258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzjY2NYxH-UxfEM4s9IqvgRNuC8waQusQtvLJakXqiHHjfLKZQEcZtGxmixIjaihUHSbqwTCU_vM2_Gu4BozoOziRbXdsPp32V3usP7cSLSjTddG8dLn6qJhq9yJjHZT2bn75SQeKX3xY/s200/GLAUCOMA1.png" border="0" /></a><br /><p align="center">CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR FULL <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/greenribbon/6323748"><span style="color:#000099;">GLAUCOMA AWARENESS LINE</span></a>.

Unfortunately, the negative stigma tied to AIDS keeps us from being as 'interested' in learning about it as some of the other 'more popular' life-threatening illnesses and diseases. Couple that with the overall feeling of most of us that 'it will never happen to us' and you have a serious disease that is neglected and even shunned by the vast majority. I myself have been guilty of keeping AIDS 'at a distance' because 'I'll never get it' and/or 'it doesn't affect me'. However, I've learned through my Awareness Shop that real people are affected by AIDS & HIV every day, undoubtedly, in devastating ways at times. It's sad to see name after name of people from all over the World purchasing t-shirts with sayings like 'In the Fight against AIDS because I love my Brother'. Obviously, as the Shop Owner and Designer I'm happy for the sales but, as with pretty much all of my sales, it's bittersweet. I absolutely could not own this Shop and not give back to Research and Awareness efforts which I do regularly. But I'm vearing off topic.....<br /><br />It is up to each of us to educate ourselves and to become Aware of AIDS, its causes, its treatments (or lack thereof), HIV prevention, and most importantly to share what we learn with others so that hopefully this negative stereotype that we've pinned to those who are infected can be a thing of the past. Until the majority is behind the AIDS Awareness Movement , progress will be stifled. We must all, as a single Voice, demand a Cure whether we are directly affected or not. It's just the right thing to do.<br /><br />Next year, we plan to expand our AIDS/HIV section significantly but for now, in honor of AIDS Awareness Month, we have released several AIDS Awareness Month designs all of which are available on a variety of t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, mugs, stickers, buttons, and lots more apparel & gifts. Here are a couple of them:</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="http://awarenessgiftboutique.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi/awarenessgifts.awarenessgifts.6294019+aids-awareness-month-4-2.html"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286160083502960066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9oZEQ8opBFqWwB6JrpNxpjJdNenKd8Rj2yUYyEI_NgufFGx8rwBE4Uj2WatdiOrOrkhkqE71BvYafNiQIhmo73wuYjCqL7ZvCjkRF0SGvx6He-OyUEsJZ7IzY716iQ2SAutj01XvGHOE/s200/AIDS+1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p align="center">CLICK IMAGE TO SEE THE DESIGN ON LOTS OF AIDS AWARENESS T-SHIRTS, APPAREL, & GIFTS.</p><a href="http://awarenessgiftboutique.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi/awarenessgifts.awarenessgifts.6295919+aids-awareness-month-1-3.html"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286161590012772066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJKyXfXcIljxv0Api1rrbtoR6kGA_cI-_tX1YG4DnodIlkNZpNdFwDSPSfQLE3pisQpNO-gS5WD2u7VDT0cv6AixZhDMnigDxF2KFyulZZpViHbgGYd-nCm8Ppw_6B8ge6B-3LKYQ62E/s200/AIDS+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"></div><p>Til next time :-) </p><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>IF YOU LINKED TO THIS BLOG ARTICLE FROM OUR SHOP AND NEED TO GO BACK CLICK <a href="http://www.awarenessgiftboutique.com/">HERE</a>:</strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;">*******</span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381786808660545016.post-75427117017265282412008-11-18T03:21:00.000-05:002008-12-12T02:01:42.944-05:00A Great Time To Quit SmokingAs I mentioned in my previous post, many important Causes are observed during the month of November. Lung Cancer is one of them. What better time to quit smoking :-) My husband, who is a physician, brought home a flyer recently from the hospital where he is employed. In light of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, they have been handing them out to patients. The name of it is "When A Smoker Quits". He thought it might be something beneficial to share with a few of our 'smoker' relatives and friends. Since, I consider everyone who reads my Blog friends I didn't want to exclude you :-) Anyway, the flyer describes what improvements are happening in your body from the first 20 minutes after that last cigarette. I, for one, was quite surprised.

Every 71 seconds someone in America develops Alzheimer's. Presently, 5.2 million Americans have been diagnosed with this terrible disease. It's easy to not think about it or to be too concerned about 'losing our memories' when we're young but we WILL grow older and Alzheimers WILL be something that we should, at the very least, know something about. I encourage everyone to learn about this disease and to know its symptoms so that if there ever is a time that it makes its way into your or a Loved One's life, you will be educated on how to recognize it and care for it. What better time to become Educated than now, November, Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>HERE IS A SAMPLING OF OUR NEW ALZHEIMER'S AWARENESS MONTH DESIGNS.</strong> </span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">CLICK ON THE T-SHIRT TO SEE THAT DESIGN ON LOTS OF GREAT APPAREL & GIFTS.</span><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="http://awarenessgiftboutique.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi/awarenessgifts.awarenessgifts.6147608+alzheimers-awareness-month-3-3.html"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278723788050536786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19in_MQroUIrmJwGq4E0qHFDSOYzhopvcSKQnCGlmzaz1wWzAIZP3FiljBy4nuaTzzVqmfuJ5q38k8GyRWfhlysybNK9Ca0680XHCocJf9WvITIRcaDFdIHFtw0rtLt05a7v5MHsoIZ4/s200/ALZ+3.png" border="0" /></a></p><p align="left"><a href="http://awarenessgiftboutique.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi/awarenessgifts.awarenessgifts.6147211+alzheimers-awareness-month-1-1.html"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278723117662042450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-pZpvJ8GlIK7Di2YNYx5E3C2QhNYZEoFZxl4pO4dQXpHOfnr5Da-Dv6zQhrPTM32b8zFLnDLzgg-QGLx1-wFEzAd0FecdhBQU_KYFLdFapW4bhM_b190YJ9DjB-EdiKrITGh_Bl6wm8/s200/ALZ+2.png" border="0" /></a></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278722097912694946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzXiHh3qLc0Pyiwcmdmx__Ri06o5Nhst5SBbFzkf75-RdoHAw9tZLAhSg2z0Eeg3eu0Z9zFa4xEwCh9NhcU2pPNt8VfNwI77eoHUU4MdHBS7jyF2840LqxEg0dlb8AQMrTHijyHNtqirw/s200/ALZ+1.png" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">******</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381786808660545016.post-71727728301824522212008-11-02T05:12:00.000-05:002008-12-12T02:04:26.065-05:00November AwarenessThe month of November is the official National Awareness Month for several very important Causes including Lung Cancer & Pulmonary Hypertension, Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer. I would like to encourage everyone to learn something new about each of these Diseases during this Month of Observance. As is the case with pretty much every illness, Early Detection is the key to Survival. And for Early Detection to happen you must know a little bit about the illness in order to recognize it or its symptoms. So, take a moment this month and read up on Lung Cancer, Pulmonary Hypertension, Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer. Awareness is crucial. Just a little bit of time could literally save your or a Loved One's Life.<br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">******</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381786808660545016.post-1430398023957345922008-10-21T16:16:00.001-04:002009-04-25T17:28:03.114-04:00Awareness Gift Boutique Introduces 'Take Down Cancer' Collection<a href="http://www.zazzle.com/awarenessgifts/take+down+gifts?cg=196288399544489015"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262477861713156658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFA-XQnCAUGqRxMY3Kybdgc1agfOuv3ZWx8ez-xshL-G2wD56HFUHArT_w54RAKN8TrZwiqTAfaNfkNZju1LFdGmhhXB8vU7lhBt88iG4_0uznKghuzNiosPUW3KGYmvJRUiOinWSW38/s200/TAKE+DOWN1+PS.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hi,<br /><br />My name is Sandy and I am the Owner/Designer for Awareness Gift Boutique. I'll begin this Blog with our recent Press Release.<br /><br />PRESS RELEASE:<br />Awareness Gift Boutique, a 2-year old CafePress Shop, has introduced a new design Collection entitled 'Take Down Cancer'. There are several variations of the design available, from Bold to Simple to Graffiti-Style & more, to ensure that everyone finds something to suit their taste. In addition to the standard 'Take Down Cancer' version, specific-cancer versions are available as well such as 'Take Down Ovarian Cancer', 'Take Down Lung Cancer', 'Take Down Breast Cancer', 'Take Down Pancreatic Cancer', 'Take Down Colon Cancer', with many more on the way. Presently, customers have 4 variations of each cancer set to choose from. The designs are offered on t-shirts, sweatshirts, buttons, stickers, and lots of other apparel & gifts. A portion of the profits from this design is donated to medical research as is the case with all of Awareness Gift Boutique sales. It's time that we gather together and Take Down Cancer and the designs in this Collection are the perfect way to get that message out. It should be noted that neither Awareness Gift Boutique nor the 'Take Down Cancer' Collection are related in any way to standup2cancer.org or to the 'Stand Up 2 Cancer' aka 'Stand Up To Cancer' designs offered by standup2cancer.org. </div><div></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">****** </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
