Tracy Parson Launched Her Board Game Botched Skotch at the Loving My Health Fitness Expo!

Shelly Shell Williams Kicked Off the New Year and celebrated her birthday with a Free Health & Fitness Expo – Loving My Health.  Urban X-pressions, in conjunction with TraPar Entertainment, hosted a free day of fitness on  January 21, 2023, with a Health & Wellness Panel, Philly Girls Jump,  Zumba, Basketball, and New Sensational Game Botched Skotch. 

Inspiration for Loving My Health

Loving My Health was divinely inspired by Shelly Shell Williams’ healthy living journey while observing the various health issues of close family and friends over the years. Some health issues could have been averted had simple lifestyle changes been applied.  Hence, it’s time to CRUSH excuses and make some hard yet positive modifications.  People from all backgrounds share with Shelly Shell just how much her personal journey inspires them to keep pressing forward.  Therefore, she believes teaching those she has inspired in the past, inspiring in the present, and will inspire in the future is part of a larger mission to accomplish a healthy mindset.  When God led me to create Loving My Health, I wasn’t sure of the plan, but my mom, Finely Recreation Center, Tracy Parson, and Dr. Khadija instantly got on board.  

The Loving My Health (Health & Fitness Expo) was all about fitness and fun interactive activities for the entire family.  Loving My Health was held at Finley Recreation Center, 7701 Mansfield Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19150; the community enjoyed a day filled with exciting health and fitness challenges, games, and more.  Thank you to Fletch A. and the entire team at Finley Recreation Center for an excellent facility, and thank you to Aetna for providing the music of DJ Rod and to Family Printing for providing the official Loving My Health T-Shirts. 

What is Botched Skotch? Remember the excitement of hearing the whistle blow, signaling the start of gym class or the playground? You recall the thrill of the chase, the adrenaline rush as you ran, jumped, and played with all your might. The memories are etched in your mind like a warm and comforting hug, reminding you of simpler times when all you had to worry about was outrunning the other kids.

That’s how I would describe Botched Skotch, it is a walk down memory lane, taking you back to those carefree days filled with pure joy, and they continue to bring a smile to your face, no matter how many years have passed.  Tracy Parson created Botched Skotch, which is a board game version of Hop Scotch to bring back a rush of memories from your childhood and to get the kids up and active again. 

 Botched Skotch was the perfect feature of the Loving My Health Expo, which God inspired.  To celebrate our birthday, Tracy and I are birthday twins; we wanted to give the gift of health and knowledge to the community.
