Fun Times @ The Boys & Girls Club!


For the past two Mondays in a row, I have enjoyed sharing Creation Health with the 5-9 year olds @ the Greene County Boys & Girls Club. As always, I taught them what the letters in the acronym CREATION stand for & how each letter relates to our health & happiness, leaving them with coloring books, crayons & bookmarks to take home. I have had the opportunity to speak at the club a few times each year & we always have a good time!

Last week, we wrapped up our final Greene County Health Council meeting of the year, as well as our final Tobacco Subcommittee meeting of the year. It's been a another great year for the health council & I look forward to more exciting happenings in 2016! I feel blessed to be apart of such a great group of people working together, fighting for the health & wellness of Greene County!

More Events!

As usual, I have been out and about in the community, talking to various groups of people about Creation Health.


In fact, in the past month, I have set-up a table at Hardin Park for Kids Day put on by the Boys and Girls Club and one out at the Greene Valley Wellness Fair for employees. At both events, I passed out various Creation Health materials including books, bookmarks, dvds, brochures, coloring books and crayons.

I also had the privilege of speaking to the Greene County Partnership leadership council at Takoma last month, giving an overview of the 8 principle areas that affect our health and well-being....choice, rest, environment, activity, trust, interpersonal relationships, outlook and nutrition. Each attendee received a goody bag containing a Creation Health book and other treats.

And finally, I had the opportunity to speak to the Town of Greeneville employees at both Town Hall and Fire Hall this past week about the importance of keeping our mind and body active, encouraging them to strive for at least 1 hour of physical activity per day, as part of the 5210 initiative here in Greene County. We discussed easy ways to incorporate more activity into our daily routines and I gave them Creation Health books, water bottles and a handout of chair exercises that they can do at their desk at work.

I have partnered with the 5210 campaign because it is a perfect compliment to Creation Health, encouraging people to eat at least 5 fruits and veggies per day, participate in no more than 2 hours of recreational screen time per day, get at least 1 hour of physical activity per day and consume 0 sugary drinks each day. I frequently use the 5210 reminder and complimentary materials when I teach Creation Health, particularly when working with kids.

Let us know if you need a speaker or vendor at your next event!

The Greene County Health Council + Kids Day = More Opportunities!

I was so excited to attend my first meeting of the Greene County Health Council last week!

Not only did I eat a great lunch and hear an informative speaker, but I was able to meet so many others from the area who are in the health care industry, who will be great contacts for me in the future and some who already have ideas of how we can work together! Yay!

Several of these same people were also with me at Hardin Park for Kids Day on Sunday!


There, I passed out Creation Health coloring books and crayons, as well as brochures, books and a 5210 flyer from Let's Go! which says that kids need the following every single day...

5 - or more fruits & vegetables
2 - hours or less recreational screen time*
1- hour or more of physical activity
0 - sugary drinks, more water & low fat milk
*Keep TV/Computer out of the bedroom. No screen time under the age of 2


It was a great day and again, I met many wonderful people who I look forward to working together with in the future - you know who you are, we bonded over my temperamental tent! :)

Boys and Girls Club Clinics

My boys and I have had the pleasure of spending our last two mornings at the Boys and Girls Club here in town, leading CH clinics!


We had fun teaching approximately 100 different children (divided into 3 different age groups) what the letters C-R-E-A-T-I-O-N stand for and what it means to be CREATION healthy!


We ended each session with a little cheer to help them remember the word CREATION! Here are the cheerleaders from the oldest group, leading their peers in the group cheer!



We were able to give each child a CH coloring book and set of crayons to take home with them!

Let us know when we can come to your organization, to lead your people in a CH class, clinic or seminar!
