- I'm Sarah, a late 20-something woman learning to make the best cup of coffee (mmmm, tasty caffeinated antioxidants!). I am a nanny by day and a superhero by night. Okay, well, not really, I mostly do health research, email Marie and listen to the TV. I live with a arthritis-like condition called ankylosing spondylitis and love hot bubble baths. I am a Twitter addict as well as a active blogger. My toes are always cold and I don't really mind it.
I have a BA in German (from Oregon State University) and in Community Health Education (from Portland State University). My ultimate goal would be to educate the health educators but in the meantime I do a lot of reading on women's health, HIV/AIDS and childhood poverty. I am passionate about working towards improved health conditions for women and children of both the United States and globally.

Lee Edwards said… - Hi Sarah,
I appreciate the warm and friendly e-mail. We health activists have to stick together. :) If I could find a full-time job as a health activist I would be so happy.
I am the Founder of the Women's Health imperative in Vernon Hills, IL. Our group is about the importance of women taking care of their health.
It's imperative that women learn about wellness, disease prevention and become their own health advocate.
We will meet quarterly to learn about various health care topics and disease prevention. I am in the process of developing outings to
health food stores, organic food stores, etc.
Also, I am working on a health advocacy blog. How, I got started was when I was diagnosed with Uveitis and had a difficult time finding specialists educated about this eye disorder and how to properly treat it. I have now come full circle and am healed but it was an ordeal.
I really consider myself a health evangelist. That's the best description I can come up with because that's what I do!
Take a look at my site and tell me what you think:
http://www.meetup.com/Women-s-Health-Imperative/
The link for teen parents is as follows: http://www.meetup.com/Teen-Parents-Too-Soon/
I am trying to get this off the ground.
Also, the quiz was good.
Warm regards,
Necie Edwards

I am good. I have actually been fairly migraine free...whoohooo! I am really thinking one of the main culprits was my birth control pill. My hormones are finally getting back to normal.
How are you doing?
