"Creating Your Health Bookclub"!
and I would love for you to join me!
What?
The point of the book club is to enhance our friendships,share our views, participate in discussions on the chosen book about some aspect of creating Health! Books will be chosen from any of the following Creating Your Health Domains: Physical Health; Mental/emotional Health; Spiritual Health; Environmental Health; Creating a healthy Career/healthy use of Leisure time; and Relationship Health.
Why a book club?
Because, Together we are Better! Creating Health is so much more fun when you are doing it with like-minded people! I'm sure the CYH BookClub will generate some positive energy, and provide for some interesting discussions. My intention is to share resources, and support one another as we move toward creating the healthy lives we desire and deserve.
What book will we be reading?
Our first book will be, "The Healthy Home" by Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz.
It just came out on March 22, and both Dr. Wentz and Dave are currently doing a North American Book Tour that began March 25 in Vancouver, BC. They are in Seattle on March 28; and then onward for several stops in California. For more information about the tour, go to www.myhealthyhome.com

Will you always be making the book selections?
Please send me your suggestions for our next book, and I will be making a selection based on those I receive, as long as it addresses the aspect of health that we will focus on for that time. For example, the "Healthy Home" is about creating a healthy environment; Our next book will be a selection related to creating a healthy work life. So please feel free to message me on facebook, or email me: christine@christinematteson.com
Where will we meet?
We will be virtually meeting in a secret closed group on facebook. There you will be able to discuss the various sections of the book, share links, photos, and I am really hopeful that you will feel free to post some videos, too as you begin to use the simple solutions in the book to create a healthy home!

You can join the club for one book, and skip a book, and then re-join if you are interested in only some of the selections.
Ok, sounds great, how do I join? Is there a membership fee?
Registration begins April 1.
There is a 20$ fee, .....yep, that's right! I'm keeping this affordable because I want interested folks to be able to participate fully.
Since this is our first book, I am keeping this one small. 25 - 30 people limit.
After this first group, I've have a better idea of how big a group we can have and still keep that small community feeling!
Where can I purchase the book?
You can purchase "The Healthy Home" right at my online store or the link below:
I can't wait! I think this is going to be so much fun! Buy your book today. And I'll have the registration link for you on April 1~!
