Knowledge is power to live better



Okay, so it's not that great of a shot. It's the outside of WTTW. But it is what was on the INSIDE that counts. A close friend of mine (and Friday night date), Jennifer Naida, is a chapter founder for survivors of vasculitis and their families. As a nurse, she is well versed on many other health issues. That is why Mrs. Illinois International was asked to be at WTTW for a show with Paula Zahn. I was lucky to be her plus 1. They sat us in the front row while segments on women's health were taped. Topics ranged from new breast cancer screening recommendations to the biggest killer of women, which is heart disease. There was so much to learn and Andie McDowell was even at the station. She has to be 7 feet tall and is so gracious! But, back the picture because it is such an exciting one. We were not allowed to bring much with us and even that had to be checked in. The segments are due to air nationally sometime after the New Year. Thanks Jennifer!
