THE ‘WEIGHT’ IS OVER 26

For the past year, “Healthy Living” has provided bimonthly updates on Traci Oliver’s successes and struggles. Here is the moment you have been waiting for as we reveal how much weight Traci has lost. Remember, though, the number on the scale is only one aspect of Traci’s amazing journey. While she certainly looks better on the outside, she is healing on the inside, as well.

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD

When it comes to being healthy, it’s not just important to look good. True health begins from the inside and radiates out into the world. Therefore, it is important to be physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially on your game. In honor of our annual “Look Good, Feel Good” issue, “Healthy Living” once again offers valuable tips to help you become beautiful both inside and out.

From Sea To Shining Sea

Where there is a ‘wheel,’ there’s a way. At least that is the case for Tracy Draper and her Ride Across USA team. With a burning desire to help our brave soldiers who have been physically and emotionally wounded on the battlefield, Tracy and five other Floridians will embark on a cross-country bicycle ride and raise money for Hope for the Warriors.™ The 3,000-mile trip begins in June and concludes in July.
