Maybe you can relate: Both Kate and I view cheesecake as a guilty pleasure. We both wonder if errands can count toward our 30-60 minutes of daily exercise. We do have our differences: Kate would rather heat up mac and cheese than make a real meal, while I would love 30 minutes of Q&A with Rachael Ray. But in the end, we realize that we have more in common than what meets the eye.
We know that women try to do so much with just two hands and often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. We give, even when we have nothing left to give. We smile when sometimes, we just need a good cry. We love, but sometimes we forget the one person who needs some love... ourselves.
When no one is there, it's our sisters, the women in our lives, who matter. It's their stories we carry with us, their laughter we remember, and their tears we wash away. Stories. It just seems fitting, comfortable, and welcoming. Kate and I invite you to join us in recapping the stories of our lives as we work to re-define what women's health truly encompasses — health of mind, body and heart.
On our journey, here is what you can expect from us:
Other types of content will be included as this blog continues to expand and grow. We need you — both your help and willingness to share your own story, in the comments and in the forums, will help shape our conversation and our journey together.
Heart to Heart,
Kate and Alex

Dear skohsmom,
What a scare! But it's great news that they caught this, and that you can control it with meds and lifestyle changes. Since you're an RN, it sounds like you know what you need to do now, but our resources on lifestyle changes that might help you out too (particularly the ones in Healthy Living).
Have you talked with your family about the lifestyle changes you'll have to make? Having support from family and friends can go a long way, and the more they understand, the more they may be able to help.
Heart to Heart,
Kate
