Dear Friend,
We’re so glad you’re here. If you’re holding this magazine, it means you’re reaching for something better — and that takes courage. At Reach UP, we believe you matter. What you’re going through matters. And we want to walk with you, step by step.
This issue is about taking care of yourself — your body, your mind, and your heart. Inside, you’ll find simple ways to stay clean and feel fresh. You’ll read helpful ideas about food, health, and weight — nothing fancy, just real ways to feel stronger. You’ll also learn how addictions set in and why they are not about being weak. Healing from addictions is all about finding the right tools.
We don’t have all the answers, but we do believe this: small steps lead to strong change. You’re not alone. We’re here, cheering you on. And so is God—even if you’re not sure what you believe about Him yet.
Here’s a verse we love:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.” —Matthew 11:28, The Message
Whether you find yourself starting again or trying to do something new, we believe you can do it! Our writers and the Reach UP team believe in you!
With love,
Crystal Wacker Knapp
Editor-in-Chief
