Monmouth County WomanMonmouth County Woman Welcome to the January/February 2021 Issue of the Ocean County Woman! Dear Readers, I know I am not the only one excited to say farewell to 2020. It has been a year like no other. Although we are not quite “back to normal,” there is undoubtedly more hope in the air these days. During times of great strife, it is so important to try and stay positive. After all, with hard times comes growth and change. We all know the pandemic has wreaked havoc on the economy and has caused illness for so many.

Now more than ever, we must create some positivity in our lives. Maybe it’s practicing a random act of kindness for a friend, or supporting a small business.

I know I am very much looking forward to what the new year has to bring. The month of February is American Heart Month. Let’s try and raise some awareness about the importance of heart health and urge our

friends and loved ones to prevent heart disease. Did you know that 47% of all Americans have at least 1 in 3 key risk factors for heart disease? These days, when it comes to factors we can control, we must do just that! Live a healthy lifestyle and keep your blood pressure and cholesterol levels normal.

Also in the month of February we have Valentine’s Day. Send someone you love some red roses, or better yet some chocolate.
