World Sickle Cell Day 2019

https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/world-sickle-cell-day-1560868280-1

Today is World Sickle Cell Day. This day was established to educate the public about sickle cell disease and preventative measures.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells are not able to carry adequate oxygen throughout the body. The blood cells form into a rigid and sticky crescent moon shape – a sickle shape which makes it hard from them to travel through the blood vessels.

There is no definitive cure for this disease. While I don’t suffer from this, I know people that do. It was part of the inspiration for a character in my debut novel, Moment of Truth.

For more information about the disease, please visit this website: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sickle-cell-anemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355876

National Splurge Day

Time for another obscure holiday and it’s a good one. National Splurge Day means you can let loose and indulge in the one thing you’ve been missing. Counting calories? Have that dessert. On a budget? Go out to eat. It’s officially the day to do it.

Me? I’m going to buy the hard copy of this book.

This is the sequel to “A Conspiracy of Stars”, a wonderful YA sci-fi fantasy book that I read last year. I’ve been putting off buying it but today is splurge day so I must buy it. (Like I really need a reason to buy books. You should see my overflowing bookcases.:-)

What are you planning to do on National Splurge Day?

Turning 50: A Reflection on 10 Things I Know For Sure

Now that I’ve turned 50 years old, there are certain things I know for sure. The list stops at ten things because nobody has time to read a list of 50 things.

  • You’re never too old to follow your dreams.
  • Body parts can predict the weather.
  • Go to therapy. Mental health is as important as physical health.
  • Don’t start none, won’t be none.
  • Take pictures. You can never have enough pictures of your loved ones.
  • Buy in bulk. Warehouse stores are a blessing.
  • Do the thing that scares you. Step out of your comfort zone.
  • Travel outside of your city, state or country. The world is full of treasures and you need to experience a world view that is different than yours.
  • I can no longer “squat” in public restrooms. I’m officially a “double liner”. My knees thank me.
  • The series finale of Games of Thrones was trash!

So, tell me dear reader. What are some things you know for sure?
