<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the most rewarding things
I have been a part of during my time with Creation Health is serving on the
Greene County Health Council. Because of our work in the community over the
past four years, we were recently recognized by the White House as a “Let’s
Move” Community. We are now working with the State of Tennessee to become a
Healthier Tennessee Community (pictured above). There are certain community
wellness goals that have to be accomplished to receive this recognition and you
can keep up with the progress at 5210tn.org. It has been an honor to work alongside
this fine group of people!</span><b><span style="color: #548dd4; font-size: 18.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had the privilege of speaking at Takoma's Breast Cancer Support Group again last month, giving them an overview of the Creation Health principles as they apply to their journey. Ann Williams is always such a joy to work with, and these ladies have blessed me more than I could ever have impacted them over the past 4 years!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In fact, I am proud to say that there are SO many in our community who are making a healthy difference and I have been fortunate enough to work with and learn from many of them along the way. I hope that YOU too will continue to make healthy changes and promote wellness principles wherever you are. Happy Summer!</span><br />

C is for Choice, R - Rest, E - Environment, A - Activity, T - Trust, I -Interpersonal Relationships, O - Outlook and N - Nutrition.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Click <a href="http://creationhealth.com/CREATION-Health-Quiz">HERE</a> and take the "Are You Living Creation Healthy?" quiz to find out where you are on your own personal wellness journey. It will show you which CREATION areas you are stronger in and which ones need improvement in your life. Once you know where you are, begin making one small change at a time in the areas that you need to work on the most.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My coaches are always hard at work promoting one of these letter principles to their patients and co-workers each month, hoping to encourage them on their journeys. During March and April, they have been promoting N - Nutrition and A - Activity. Here are a few things they have been up to...</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Several coaches have been putting up displays in their workplace, such as these two bulletin boards made by Takoma's Dietitian, Joanie Scott. The first one reminds people to make healthy food choices and the second one includes ways that people can get active in our community. Thank you to another one of our coaches, Tracy Green (Takoma's Corporate Wellness Director) for providing the community information!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coach Cheyenne Bowman created a 30-Day Ab Challenge for her unit, to see who can lose the most inches in their waist.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coach Stephanie Grogan made this cute "Spring into Action" board to encourage people to do something to make a difference physically, mentally & spiritually!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most important things our coaches are collectively doing is handing out wellness materials where they are. Janie Strom gives Creation Health tote bags filled with Creation Health goodies to the people she works with at the Roby Center. She does all sorts of fun activities with them to teach Creation Health principles and to help draw a crowd before the wellness speakers come in to speak to them. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Joanie Scott hands out Creation Health books and teaches Creation Health principles to all of her patients and to the people in her exercise classes at the YMCA.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Angela Nease has created Creation Health handouts to give to her patients and co-workers to encourage them to make good choices. She also hands out Creation Health bookmarks which contain the letter principle reminders.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tracy Green has distributed Creation Health materials to every office in her building and has put them out in the lobbies and break rooms for patients and employees to grab. She also offers them to all of the companies that she partners with.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Joyce Mullins puts Creation Health handouts in all of the nursing charts and patient folders in OB. And Jennie Smith sent the "Are You Creation Healthy" quiz link to her entire department.</span></div>

Last month, we focused on A - Activity. A social support system is as vital to our overall health and well-being as staying active, implementing good nutrition and getting rest. With school letting out soon and the beautiful weather this time of year, I have come up with a few ways that you and your family can build relationships while staying active together this spring/summer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b>
<b>1. Play a game of Backyard Football! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-or another game (tag, Frisbee, baseball, etc)…the possibilities are endless, but the point is to get outside and have fun together!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 2. Go on a bike ride!</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> -or take a nature hike…anything that allows you to enjoy God’s creation!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <b>3. Participate in a local 5K for Charity! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-or any community race (walk, run, bike ride, etc) that gives you the opportunity to give back while you get fit!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> 4. Clean the house! </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-or yard, garage, etc…turn the music on and burn some calories while you work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <b>5. Take a camping trip! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-or a trip to the lake…simply get away from the chaos of life for a day or two, enjoying each other’s company in a new setting!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What is your favorite thing to do together as a family? My family and I enjoy riding bikes together and playing 4 Square any chance we get!</span><br />

First off, we have had the privilege of working with the fabulous kiddos of the GMS Devils on the Go program. In January, I gave them an overview of the CH letter principles C - Choice, R - Rest, E - Environment, A - Activity, T - Trust, I - Interpersonal Relationships, O - Outlook and N - Nutrition to encourage them on their wellness journey. Then again last week, I met them out on our beautiful trail, giving them a tote bag full of more CH goodies before sending them off on a little hike. I am so proud of these teachers and students who are modeling the importance of being active during this fantastic after school program!<br />

We recently wrapped up Takoma's Biggest Loser contest, providing 25 CH tote bags full of goodies to those who completed the program. I am so proud of one of our awesome coaches, Jennie Smith (pictured far right) for winning the contest, and am so proud of another one of our awesome coaches, Tracy Green for coordinating the contest!<br />
<br />
Over the past several months, we have been weeding out inactive coaches and have completed training for 7 new coaches, which gives us 17 strong, active CH coaches who are promoting and modeling CH principles in their departments to their co-workers and patients. New coaches also received CH tote bags full of goodies to help them get started!<br />

<br />
Also, as you know, I am blessed to work with the fabulous kiddos of the Tusculum View Tiger Times program twice a month. In addition to this, I got to hand out CH tote bags full of goodies to the parents and kids who attended Parent Night back in February.<br />
<br />
Finally, I had the privilege of speaking at the Roby Center once again, giving them an overview of the CH principles, encouraging them to make small changes that lead to big results. I hope you are staying dry during this crazy weather we have been having! Please let me know if you would like any CH materials (books, bookmarks, coloring books, crayons, pens, notepads, etc) for your organization!<br />

Before we can achieve positive changes in any area of our lives, we must first choose to do so. Conscious decision-making is key to experiencing the positive impact of good choices. Every day, often numerous times a day, you exercise the power of choice. Today, use that power to make one small change that will lead to long-term positive results.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This very truth is what our CH Coaches are currently promoting to their co-workers and patients as many employees are competing in Takoma's Biggest Loser Competition. They are encouraging people to commit to making healthier choices in 2017 while simultaneously supporting those who are competing in the contest for cash prizes. All departments have been challenged to make one small change to help create a healthier work environment. For example, making available in their units fruit, nuts and bottled water instead of candy, cookies and soda. Or implementing a 10 minute walking break for employees every hour, or a lunch walking group. What could YOU do to promote better health and wellness in your place of work?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I make my hospital rounds, I have been so pleased to see some of the creative displays that have been made apart of these healthy workplaces. I just fell in love with this colorful bulletin board the first time I saw it. I had to snap a picture because the bright colors jump out at you and everything about it screams Creation Health. It is located on the 3rd floor, just outside the employee break room. At the top it reads "Shout Out To You For All That You Do" and employees are encouraged to fill out a sticky note with praise for a fellow co-worker and then hang it on the board. Did you know it is a proven fact that people who have an optimistic outlook, a positive attitude are more likely to make better choices which lead to improved health and well-being? What a great way to foster optimism in the work place!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is another fantastic display which hangs in our OB unit just outside the employee break room, to encourage people to set healthy goals for 2017. It tells them how to set goals, as well as what kind of goals to set. I love how it ties in scripture. Such a detailed, well thought out display that will truly impact lives for the better!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am so excited to have a great group of coaches on board this year, promoting CH inside the hospital walls and out in the community with me, encouraging people on their wellness journeys. Hopefully some of these ideas will help you think of ways to promote health and wellness where you work, as we are all on this journey together!</span><br />

But really, I am the one who was encouraged by these awesome students and their awesome teachers. They have a really great thing going, that I would love to see happening at all schools!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basically, each time they are together after school, they enjoy a healthy snack and then spend their time exercising through walking, hiking Takoma's Creation Health Nature Trail or doing yoga. During the fall and spring when the weather is nice, they train for 5K's using the Couch to 5K program. Some of these kids could not even walk/jog for a few minutes when they started, and now they are completing 5K's!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have once again been given the opportunity to be a part of the Tiger Times program @ Tusculum View for the 3rd straight year. From January through May, I will be spending 2 afternoons a month with these awesome kiddos, teaching them the CREATION acronym principles C - Choice, R - Rest, E - Environment, A - Activity, T - Trust, I - Interpersonal Relationships, O - Outlook and N - Nutrition as they relate to our overall health and well-being, through the use of interactive games, videos and materials for them to take home with them. Working with students is one of my favorite things to do and I look forward to another semester of fun with them. So far, it is off to a great start!</span><br />

Pun intended. In fact, as I look back over the blog, there are so many things I forgot to tell you about. No worries though, here is a quick synopsis since you last heard from me in October.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As always, November and December were very busy months for Creation Health. At the beginning of November, I had the pleasure of speaking to the Breast Cancer Support Group @ Takoma. I basically gave them an overview of the CREATION acronym principles as they apply to their journey and sent them home with cute tote bags full of goodies. It is always inspiring to be with people who face life's toughest battles with such positive strength and grace, surrounded by their faithful supporters.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I do not have a picture, but I also got to speak to the Greene County Partnership Youth Leadership group as they took their annual tour of the hospital for one of their leadership training days. Again, I gave an overview of the letter principles and gave them books to take with them. Working with students is one of my favorite things to do and this group is the cream of the crop as they have to apply for acceptance into this competitive program.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the second time, I got to be apart of the Worthington Industries Health Fair. I just loving working with companies who are encouraging their employees to be healthy and providing opportunities for them to do just that. Mostly, I passed out materials and information while promoting our awesome Creation Health Nature Trail located right here in town. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was a privilege to have Des Cummings Jr., one of the authors of Creation Health, here at Takoma in November as well. He gave a wonderful presentation on Creation Health as it relates to healthcare & distributed copies of his new book "Live Life to the Fullest" (which is not yet available for purchase) to everyone in attendance. This will be another great resource for all of us who are together on this journey to better health.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In December, I got to be apart of the Diabetes Holiday Health Fair @ Takoma for the 4th straight year. It is always a fun way to kick off the holiday season with friends, as we pass out materials to help people on their wellness journey, even showing them ways to stay on track during the holidays.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">In addition to these events, I spent a lot of time the past few months revamping our coaches program (which I will tell you more about soon) and spent even more time working alongside my fellow Greene County Health Council Members to make Greene County a Let's Move community by reaching goals related to physical activity and nutrition, among other things. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I am happy to report that I hosted a Creation Health Coaches Christmas Breakfast in December to celebrate my new and existing coaches, and got to celebrate with my fellow health council members as we received gold medals in all 5 Let's Move categories, officially making Greene County a Let's Move community and giving us the opportunity to become a Let's Move All Star community. I must say it was pretty cool to have Mayor Daniels present us with a plaque and letter from Michelle Obama, complete with the White House seal!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I'd say it was another successful year for Creation Health! I will be back soon to report 2017 happenings, hopefully in a more timely manner. Hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far!</span></span><br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First, I had the pleasure of promoting Creation Health at the Takoma Golf Classic this month & boy was it a beautiful day to be out of the office & out on the course. Here are a few of us sporting our Creation Health shirts at Andrew Johnson Golf Club.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kSVEMfA3UFaJk4sQP6oNQCniu14-yOTyb7shYmxRbPkrcHn21wxmVj0g2aT_QX8qZQayHm8-iM27PlLyomRNmvAJJoKqLPw54HpIOG9Xh66v0Wejnx084nTiuaAToLGJSK0V-SQv1Yln/s1600/janie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kSVEMfA3UFaJk4sQP6oNQCniu14-yOTyb7shYmxRbPkrcHn21wxmVj0g2aT_QX8qZQayHm8-iM27PlLyomRNmvAJJoKqLPw54HpIOG9Xh66v0Wejnx084nTiuaAToLGJSK0V-SQv1Yln/s400/janie.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also got to hand out CH materials at the YMCA Health Fair sponsored by Takoma this month. I just had to snap this picture of one of our beautiful coaches Janie Strom showing off her CREATION crossword puzzle, one of her creative handouts from the fair.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWRv9qa3THIcY1KhyHM7BS5RHUGt6iksJyeeQs6rw4Fyke5YvTVDC-0Q0iiE49ZynGvvfrsqUoFPIAzcYqxwM9w8rGTYvJRdEsXFG1Fghf4XxQverk51nKx2e29X2-7LsMoQ5yMENhg12/s1600/roby+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWRv9qa3THIcY1KhyHM7BS5RHUGt6iksJyeeQs6rw4Fyke5YvTVDC-0Q0iiE49ZynGvvfrsqUoFPIAzcYqxwM9w8rGTYvJRdEsXFG1Fghf4XxQverk51nKx2e29X2-7LsMoQ5yMENhg12/s400/roby+collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, I had the chance to speak at the Roby Center again, this time discussing how important a social support system is to our health & well-being. At the end of our time together, we had fun making cards to send to loved ones as a way to build the relationships in our lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you have had the opportunity to get outside & enjoy this gorgeous fall weather! It is one of the most beautiful times of year out on the CH Nature Trail if you get a chance to get away, I highly recommend it!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We're having a contest to get people out onto the Creation Health Nature Trail! All you have to do is snap a picture of you by yourself, with a group, your dog, your family, friends, co-workers or anyone else on the Creation Health Nature Trail & send it to Erin Franklin at creationhealthgc@gmail.com by the end of September to get your picture on this bulletin board which hangs in the Takoma Regional Hospital cafeteria & for a chance to win a prize. There will be prizes for the best, most creative selfies as well as entries into a raffle drawing for anyone who participates. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Taking a walk on the trail with a friend is a great way to combine A - Activity, E - Environment & I - Interpersonal Relationships. Plus, this time of the year is one of the most beautiful on the gorgeous, shaded trail. In fact, when you're out on the trail, you truly do not realize you are in the middle of the city. I am planning to take my family on a little hike soon & I hope to see you there!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First of all, <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 19.32px;">Takoma Leadership took time out of their busy schedules last month to participate in the Creation Health Nature Trail work day led by Takoma Wellness Director Bob Kamieneski. Because they trimmed trees, cleared paths, dumped brush piles & built a retaining wall, the trail is now in great shape for summer traffic & our upcoming trail walking program. If you have not had a chance to hike the CH Nature Trail, this time of year is one of the most beautiful!</span></span><br />

Pictured above is the lunch walking group. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First of all, <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 19.32px;">Takoma Leadership took time out of their busy schedules last month to participate in the Creation Health Nature Trail work day led by Takoma Wellness Director Bob Kamieneski. Because they trimmed trees, cleared paths, dumped brush piles & built a retaining wall, the trail is now in great shape for summer traffic & our upcoming trail walking program. If you have not had a chance to hike the CH Nature Trail, this time of year is one of the most beautiful!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 19.32px;">This month I had the privilege of setting up a booth @ the 2nd Annual Kiwanis Kids Day @ Pioneer Park, where I handed out free Creation Health coloring books, crayons, books & bookmarks to those in attendance.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This
time of year is one of the most beautiful on Takoma’s Creation Health Nature Trail! Be sure to take advantage of it by setting aside time in your schedule
to hike it with family members, friends, co-workers or even pets. Tracey Ayers, one of our fabulous coaches, and I were out there last week and I was so pleased to see
so many different ages and groups of people using it. Next month Bob
Kamieneski, Takoma's Wellness Director, and I will be giving Greene County high school students tours of
it, and I will definitely be taking my boys on it again as soon as school is
out!</span></span><br />

One of those things is our Monthly Newsletter, which contains a wellness Tip of the Month!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZxpBZNX2hJYZYeyrpYolnF7bipsbt9FTP_IuFebMuPOwGr_pSOXeCEbkY3hE8Aqd8zk8LzG_gOgf2oz-ekQqzzIfnMh4Y3fdeNNMXt0-HZhBRgHm-KsljfVzXeYZV_A8b5rmjo9YbUeE3/s1600/easter+crosses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZxpBZNX2hJYZYeyrpYolnF7bipsbt9FTP_IuFebMuPOwGr_pSOXeCEbkY3hE8Aqd8zk8LzG_gOgf2oz-ekQqzzIfnMh4Y3fdeNNMXt0-HZhBRgHm-KsljfVzXeYZV_A8b5rmjo9YbUeE3/s400/easter+crosses.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our newsletter entitled <i>Creation Health News</i> circulates the hospital each month and in it, I report what has been going on with Creation Health as well as feature one of our fabulous coaches who has done a great job promoting the monthly wellness tip in their department.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last month our tip was as follows:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As Easter approaches, make prayer a priority. A study of 560 households has shown that people who pray are happier, more satisfied and enjoy a deeper sense of well-being about the directions their lives are headed. Talking things through with God can help make situations clear. Today, make prayer your first response to a difficult situation. Not sure how to start? Begin by praising God for who He is and by thanking Him for your many blessings.</span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The above picture shows how Laurann Pierce promoted T - Trust in her unit at Takoma, by making these colorful Easter crosses and encouraging her co-workers to write what they are thankful for on each one. They now hang in the front office of Urgent Care/Industricare as a beautiful reminder of God's daily blessings!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the month of April, our wellness tip is as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>As the days get longer and summer approaches, make exercise a priority in your schedule. Physical activity (also known as “The Fountain of Youth”) has been proven to prevent disease and enhance your quality of life. Today, try to be more active by parking farther away, by taking a 10 minute walk with a friend on your lunch break, or by adding strength-training to your workout routine.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I look forward to seeing what our coaches come up with this month to promote A - Activity!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As always, I am having a great time working with the kiddos at Tusculum View twice a month, teaching them how to be healthy and happy using the CREATION acronym along with fun, interactive games and videos. We are thankful for the gorgeous weather that has been allowing us to go outside during our last few times together!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Happy Spring, friends! Let's all add more active minutes and outside time to our daily routine! Who's with me?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Takoma Regional Hospital Surrender Your Soda Challenge was a success! Reports from the Takoma Café reveal
that since we began the No Soda Challenge, soda sales have taken a significant
dive! In fact, soda sales have decreased 35% and even more exciting, water
sales have gone up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had 103 participants at
Takoma who completed the No Soda Challenge for the month of February and we are very
pleased with this turnout the first time around! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.4px;">In addition, one of our awesome Creation Health coaches' Jennie Smith (who happens to be the Assistant Girls Softball Coach at Greeneville High School) challenged her softball team to take the No Soda Challenge with us. She had 16 girls participate, along with head coach Bob Fortel. Everyone said that they enjoyed the challenge and that even though it is “over” they are going to continue to do it! Many of them said that they had lost anywhere from 2-6 pounds and they weren’t craving junk food anymore!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.4px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also, congratulations to our fitness prize winners: Laura Crum, Kim Kishbaugh, Kassie Lawson, Bethany Martin, Laura
Walther, Sharon Hensley & Christina Greene! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let’s keep the challenge going by continuing to decrease
our soda intake while increasing our water intake. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the simplest tricks for drinking more water
is to keep a bottle of it on your desk. It’s easy to take a swig regularly if
you’ve got water in arm’s reach – and if you keep the cap on the bottle,
there’s no chance of a spillage!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As always, I had the privilege of working with these awesome kiddos after school, teaching them how to be healthy and happy using the CREATION acronym! This week we talked about the first 4 letters in the acronym C - Choice, R - Rest, E - Environment and A - Activity as they are related to our overall health and well-being. Next time we will discuss the last 4 letters T - Trust, I - Interpersonal Relationships, O - Outlook and N - Nutrition. It was so beautiful outside, we let them go out and play in the fresh air and sunshine for the final 10 minutes or so, to close out our fun time together!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The kids were probably wondering why I was so dressed up this time around, ha! But as soon as I left them, I headed to speak at the CHIP (Change is Possible) monthly dinner, held at the Greeneville SDA church. After enjoying a delicious healthy dinner, we discussed in depth R - Rest and how it directly impacts our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Honestly, the Rest chapter is my favorite of all the Creation Health materials, I just love it when I get the chance to talk about it. I think it is because most of the time you hear about diet and exercise related to health and wellness, not rest. But there is a wealth of information out there about how much sleep and rest affect our weight, immune system, prevention of disease and overall well-being. I was pleasantly overwhelmed and fascinated the first time I heard it and it is so fun to be able to give myself and others permission to take a break, say no and simply enjoy life! God created rest in the beginning. It was a forethought, not an afterthought. It is not for the weak or faint of heart, but for all. It is a gift given at creation, so that we can enjoy all that God has done and made, and all that we have accomplished, while simultaneously being restored for the next thing He has for us to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That said, are you getting enough rest? In our busy, 24/7 connected society it is not something that is just going to happen. You must plan for it. Schedule it. Make it a priority. Go ahead, I am giving you permission!</span><br />

This approach opens evangelistic doors to families that are otherwise very difficult to reach. People everywhere are looking for ways to live healthier lives. We give you the Biblical tools to help them. Team CREATION features six different stations children visit each day. They will learn Bible stories, play games, make crafts, eat snacks, and perform health experiments. The 2015 kit includes a Leader’s Guide, six unique Station Guides, multiple posters, a resource CD-ROM, our <em style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">very popular</em> CREATION Health Kids music CD and puppet DVD, as well as a set of promotional materials! </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Amen. One of my favorite quotes says, "it's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." Isn't this so true in all areas of our lives? Not just in sports, but in everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes, you are going to miss the shot. You are going to have bad days. Failure is apart of life. But is it not in the tough times, the failures, that we are driven to do better? To challenge ourselves. To compete. To change. To succeed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been thinking about these things related to health and fitness as well. Particularly in relation to our No Soda Challenge. Maybe you have not had one single soda the entire month of February so far. Or maybe you have. Either way, keep going. One soda a week is better than one soda a day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Small changes lead to big results. Start small and build from there. Whatever you do, just start.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this week I have spent more time in my home office than my Takoma office, ha! We have had 3 snow days this week here in East Tennessee and as a result, schools have been closed which means I get to work from home. This morning I had a conference call at the hospital and now I am back here, working in the warmth of my own home, sipping a cup of hot cocoa while watching the snow fall and listening to the new music that my husband downloaded for me as a Valentine's surprise. I'd say it's a good day. A good job. A good life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do not actually have much to report because all of my events were cancelled this week due to the winter weather. I am however, proud of the fact that our Creation Health materials are now available to the public in every single lobby & waiting room in all of the Takoma hospital buildings. I have figured out a new system that allows me to re-stock every one of these areas every 2 weeks. My first major accomplishment of the new year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That being said, I hope that you have a blessed weekend with loved ones. My boys were disappointed that they did not get to have their Valentine parties today since school was cancelled, but I am happy to spend my Valentine's weekend snowed in with my 3 loves.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our coaches have been working hard the last few weeks to promote the Takoma Surrender Your Soda Challenge for the month of February & to encourage people to participate in it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.32px;">The Soda Challenge is a month long program that will test your level of addiction to soda. This includes both sugar free and regular soda. For one month, the month of February, we are challenging YOU to go soda free and to substitute your soda with water. Please remember this health initiative is twofold. One is to reduce and eliminate soda in your diet for one month (hopefully forever) and the second</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;"> is to increase the amount of water you are drinking. Ideally, we would encourage you to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;">This is also a great way to avoid the flu season. Sugar has a very negative impact on the immune system thus reducing your ability to fight germs, so this will be a win-win situation if you choose to accept the challenge! (Even if you are not a Takoma employee, you can take the challenge on your own or with some friends!)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;">So far, we have had a great turnout of people inside & outside the walls of Takoma Regional Hospital who are taking the challenge, including the GHS softball team (thanks to one of our awesome coaches, Jennie Smith, who happens to be the assistant softball coach). I am excited to see who sticks with it for the entire month, hopefully it is going well for everyone now that we are 5 days in!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.32px;">Here is the tracking sheet, if you want to take the challenge too!</span></span><br />

I thought I would post them here too, in case you were looking for some simple reminders to keep you on the right track this year.

But this time, we finished a few minutes early which gave them the opportunity to share some of their favorite videos with me for "active" time. I just had to snap some shots of them dancing & singing to the music! So fun!</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsoZmE65koUfSfeAxIqw7vl8AibCgc-iTjQlcnYO-mpQX-Ubod78JD53U1zX0D36fZNqKjWVwdJMvBbHaAGkRmfm1lbCqvQ9uv79S1pGrugrwhuq2AZ1W4-CYEN54FGV7I_v4jf6FbBEP4/s1600/des.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsoZmE65koUfSfeAxIqw7vl8AibCgc-iTjQlcnYO-mpQX-Ubod78JD53U1zX0D36fZNqKjWVwdJMvBbHaAGkRmfm1lbCqvQ9uv79S1pGrugrwhuq2AZ1W4-CYEN54FGV7I_v4jf6FbBEP4/s400/des.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One highlight was hearing Des Cummings speak, simply because I have only seen him in Creation Health videos before, never in real life. It was like seeing a celebrity, ha! He gave an overview of the biblical foundations behind Creation Health, after Don Jernigan (President of Adventist Health Systems) gave his vision of the future of Creation Health.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also got a kick out of hearing my Texas colleagues report that they are hosting a Creation Health Kids Summer Camp @ Peaceable Kingdom Retreat Center, which happens to be just down the road from my family's ranch in Texas. It was like experiencing a little taste of home!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mostly, I enjoyed hearing various reports from teams all over the country who are successfully implementing Creation Health in their hospitals and communities. I gathered a lot of great ideas that we can do right here in Greene County!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I was there, I experienced a lovely dinner @ Kobe Steakhouse with some friends who live there in the Orlando area. Actually, they live down the street from me here in Greeneville, but spend their winters down in Orlando in the home where they raised their kids. It is always a pleasure to see them!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The winter weather in East Tennessee actually extended my trip by one day, before I was able to fly/drive home. When I finally got there, I was more than ready to be home & enjoy the snow with my crew & a few extras. Apparently, we have the best sledding hill in the neighborhood, so we always have additions at our house on snowy days!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you and yours are enjoying the beautiful snow, as well as a slower pace & some extra rest for a few days! It's time for me to head out and build a snowman with my crew!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once again, I have been given the privilege of leading Tiger Times @ Tusculum View Elementary twice a month after school this semester, which started back this week. On my first visit each month, we discuss the first 4 letters in the CREATION acronym related to our health & well-being & on the second visit, we discuss the last 4 letters. Each time we incorporate fun interactive activities & I leave them with a small gift. It is always a good time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week I also had the opportunity to work with a group from GMS during their tour of Takoma Hospital. I gave them a quick overview of the CREATION acronym, teaching them how Choices, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal Relationships, Outlook & Nutrition affect our overall health & well-being. I left them with bookmarks, as well as coloring books & crayons before they moved on to the next stop on their tour. They were a great group of listeners & participants!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you are having a great 2016 so far, be sure to let us know if you need a speaker or materials for your next event!
