                                                                                 Guiding Questions.

How can you take more responsibility for your health and fitness?

Responsibility is kind of like that gooey, green slime children love to play with. It oozes around in a family and can slither off in all different directions. Parents easily slip, falter or fall when confronted with ooze that belongs to the kids. And it's pretty frustrating to slip on ooze that someone else should have scooped up! But the ebb and flow of slime, or responsibility, becomes essential when life and death issues are present in a child's life.
