Just a reminder, those of you who have home dialysis blogs or websites please help spread the word about home dialysis by placing a green ribbon like these below…as you can see it has the HDC logo on them. Alll ready for you to place on your websites…you can see an example on my blog site on the lower right corner…its linked directly to HDC … use the ones above or make your own, but helping in spreading about the goodness about frequent dialysis at home would very very well benefit the cause and at the same time help educate people. ![](http://www.dailyhemo.org/greenRibbon3.gif) ![](http://www.dailyhemo.org/greenRibbon2.gif) ---

“Green is the color of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self-respect and well being. Green is the color of balance. It also means learning, growth and harmony. Green is a safe color, if you don’t know what color to use anywhere use green. Green is favored by well balanced people. Green symbolizes the master healer and the life force. It often symbolizes money. It was believed green was healing for the eyes. Egyptians wore green eyeliner. Green eyeshades are still used. You should eat raw green foods for good health. Friday is the day of green. Green jade is a sacred stone of Asia.”…[READ MORE](http://gm.kqed.org/) [Check out Angie’s example kidney dialysis community](http://angiee1973.proboards42.com/index.cgi?board=awarenessproducts&action=post&thread=1176464318"e=1176531091&page=1) …Wow!
