Can you imagine...I had a heart attack when I was feeling so good about my health.
Just weeks before Friday, July 3, 2026, I was in Jamaica celebrating my sister's 60th birthday, golfing at a charity fundraiser, hiking, working, enjoying time with family and friends, and doing what I love...helping families prepare for the unexpected.
Then, in what seemed like an ordinary day, while I was alone, I began having a heart attack... and I didn't even know it.
The chest pain became so intense it affected my breathing. Thank God I listened to my body and called 911. Looking back, I know it was God's mercy that kept me.
I'm sharing this because ladies, heart attacks don't always present the same way in women as they do in men. Please don't ignore the warning signs or convince yourself you're "fine." Truth be told your health matters. You matter.
This experience reminded me how precious life really is and how quickly everything can change. It also showed me the incredible blessing of people who simply showed up—through prayers, calls, texts, visits, flowers, and checking on my family. I will never forget your kindness.
To the paramedics, nurses, doctors, and every healthcare professional who cared for me—thank you. God used your hands, your knowledge, and your compassion to help save my life.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD." — Psalm 118:17 (KJV)
If sharing my story encourages even one woman to listen to her body, seek help without hesitation, or appreciate the gift of today, then it's a story worth telling.
By God's grace... I'm still here. And I'm so very thankful. ❤️
