Presenting the Young Ladies of
Growing N2U & Lil’ Sisters Annual Gala April 28, 2018
“Embracing A Healthy Lifestyle”
3 John 1:2 “…I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” Empowered girls become empowered women who become leaders and contributors in our communities, country and the world. Embracing a healthy lifestyle is essential to truly being empowered and living a fulfilled life. This term we focused on eight key areas of life that we believe equate to living a healthy lifestyle and promoting a rewarding life. When we are balanced in these areas, our lives will prove to be fulfilled. The key environments are “Spiritual”, “Relationships”, “Network”, “Financial”, “Physical” (health), “Body” (fitness), “Self” and “Nature”.
