This book is about health and wellness, not simply about doing aerobic exercise to "get healthy," but creating a way of thinking about who you are that brings wellness and harmony into all parts of your life. Wellness is the sum of those ideals that bring you joy, that strengthen your relationships, that fulfill your dreams, and that lead you to a deeper connection to God: Joy, Love, Purpose, and Faith. These are the core principles of Live Healthy and Be Well. A holistic Self-Care Action Plan is the goal of your journey with Live Healthy and Be Well. This is more than an inspirational book with health activities. This is a journey where each chapter, each activity, every story draws you closer to the transformed life you desire. Author's Note: A special thank-you to Zenobia Kindle-Davis, my niece and Etta Smith, my friend who donated their editing skills to make my book better.
