Alive & Healthy in 2010 — Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow
by Blair Lewis • December 21, 2009
A New Year is Coming…
In 2010, the Alive and Healthy Institute is going to begin a revolution in the way family members relate to one another. Our mission is to create a place where families can find the resources and tools they need to be a loving and supportive family in this digital age.
Today, families need a double income requiring both parents to work, leaving a major void at home. With families constantly on-the-go, neither the children nor their parents are faring very well. This is quite evident when:
• Divorce is at an all time high.
• Parents are chronically stressed and exhausted, often impatient and angry.
• There is an increased use of prescription medications and street drugs in younger and younger children.
• The list is ongoing, including signs of growing gang affiliations, rising teen pregnancies rates, and more parents and children feel lost and adrift.
Alive and Healthy is committed to reversing this trend. We have gathered a core team of professionals to make this a reality. Each team member brings a wealth of experience that offers targeted and systematic solutions for family stress.
Where will we focus?
With families and individuals that are overwhelmed.
Foundationally, we begin with communication skills, personal and family stress management techniques, nutrition and offering sustainable solutions for physical and mental health problems with natural medicines.
We have developed tools to create a custom ‘map’ of the issues facing each family. These tools make it easy to prioritize the problem areas and ‘map’ the solutions. This results in a concrete plan of simple, specific action items to make the changes needed.
Once your family has a ‘map’, our staff will identify and provide the people, skills, education and coaching needed to help your family to a greater sense of unity and well-being. Can you imagine having time to talk with one another and live and love together as a family? It is possible and you can start learning how to do this right now.
What is the challenge for Alive and Healthy?
To increase our services, we will soon need a larger facility. We need a place for our community to have fellowship, to learn cooking, eating together, talking together, solving issues, and supporting each other.
We need benefactors and supporters who share our passion for this revolution. Some of our families will be able to pay for services, some will not. We do not want to deny services to anyone.
Becoming the change we wish to see in the world…
A world of healthy and happy families and individuals is our goal. We believe our entire world will change if we just start here. Please join us. We look forward to seeing you at Alive and Healthy.

As Fleetwood Mac used to sing, “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow, it will soon be here.”
