It's Your Community ~ Henry Liebling & Ruth Ann Forrester
Jan. 21, 2024 ~ Henry Liebling and Ruth Ann Forrester co-authored the book "My Heart is Healing, Power of the Mind." The book is the story of Henry’s successful cardiac recovery and how he achieved well-being by using “Power of the Mind” techniques to build new habits and enjoy low sodium eating. Over time, he increased his ability and motivation to take on more responsibility for his recovery and well-being. Up until that point, his wife (caregiver) “did it all.” The book is written in the style of friends having a talk, which allows them to communicate their agreements and different points of view.
