Books

This book shows you how to live a balanced life and how to tie the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of life together to create a holistic approach to successful living. It’s within your God-given power to choose. If you want to create positive changes in your life, it is you who must first choose to be the shining example of that change.

If you want a more peaceful home life, community and world, your priority must first be to seek peace within yourself. If you want a happy life and more friends, then be a happy and friendly person to all you meet on your life’s journey.

If you want to see your family and loved ones healthy and fit, then you must first show by example and make that deliberate choice to be healthy and fit. The motto is this: “Be the Change” and the gleaming ideal of what you wish to see in your life and world. It starts with YOU!

Susan tells us that health and happiness are the direct results of the countless choices that we make in life—how we eat, exercise, think, play, pray and rest. The strength of our faith, the level of our confidence and our overall perspective on life play a major role in our joy of living. Our attitudes determine our experience of life, love and health. Knowing which choices are the healthy choices is what this book addresses.

 Excerpt from David Craddock’s Foreword 

“In Be the Change, Dr. Susan explores the essential elements necessary to create a faith-filled and God-centered life that is rich with the positive choices for you to make and the dynamic results for you to experience. You’ll learn the importance of welcoming each day with an optimistic, grateful, enthusiastic and expectant attitude, and how it’s always our responsibility to choose and within our power to decide to live a blessed and fulfilling day. She shows you how health and happiness are so much more than just feeling fine, but are, as she writes in the book, ‘a quality of life, a joy and radiance for living such that every day, each and every moment, is a celebration.’ This book is for anyone who wants to create a life filled with vitality, passion, confidence, faith, success and joy. Who doesn’t want those qualities to infuse their daily activities and lives? This reader-friendly, health-enhancing and beautifully designed book makes a wonderful gift for family and friends. Kudos, Susan, and thank you for giving us another motivating and empowering literary masterpiece. This is truly a book to uplift.”

The ABCs of Sprouts & How They Supercharge Vitality — Part 1

Susan extols the virtues of sprouts in this radio interview on This Week in America. As she enthusiastically opines, sprouts are nature’s little miracles. In his poetry collection entitled Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman wrote, “The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.” You start with a small, dry, hard seed. Add air and a little water and watch as new life emerges as if by magic from the dormant seed. Vibrant with life and bursting with energy, its tiny size belies the extraordinary activity that takes place while growing. In mere hours, and at a cost to you of just pennies, its delicate shoot proceeds to provide the most vital food imaginable. After listening to this motivating interview, not only will you want to purchase Susan’s book Kitchen Gardening, but you will be ready to start your adventure into the wonderful world of sprouting. And even if you don’t want to grow sprouts at home, you’ll be inspired to add store-bought sprouts, these gems of nature, into your healthy diet. To listen now, click HERE.
