Hello, Friends!

Hope that this past week has been a good one for you. We have been in the middle of a winter wonderland and I have greatly enjoyed extra time at home with family and friends.

While snowed in, I got to make some much needed updates and changes to this website.

I’ve you’ve viewed the website lately, you’ve probably noticed it got a big facelift this past week.

After struggling to overcome my lack of technology skills, I finally decided to forgo the self hosted wordpress site and went back to where I first started blogging on the software that I was comfortable with…blogger.

For you, this won’t change much other than I will be able to make my posts more visually appealing and the site will be more easily accessed for mobile users.

There is one downside, for those of you that have pinned different posts or recipes on Pinterest, these pins will no longer work. Same thing goes for any posts that you may have bookmarked.

When I moved the site over, the post formats changed which means that the saved/bookmarked/pinned addresses are now incorrect. I am so sorry for any frustration this may cause for you.

I’ve made updated pins for all of the recipes that you can access HERE which is where I will pin all future Wellness Witness posts.

You can also use the SEARCH feature on the homepage of this website any time you need to quickly locate a post or recipe. I’ve also created a recipe index that you can access at the top of the home page of the website that lists all recipes for you.

Hopefully moving forward the technical side of things will run much more smoothly.

I am so excited for all that is to come through Wellness Witness and through each of you. It’s going to be an amazing journey, friends! If you haven’t yet joined us over at the Facebook page, I encourage you to do so by clicking HERE. Once there, click LIKE and then you’ll be subscribed to any Wellness Witness updates on the Facebook page.

Hope each of you has an amazing week! If you need anything, don’t hesitate to email me.

Like much of the Eastern part of the country, we were slammed by a snow storm this week.

Where we live in NC this is not something that happens often, so when it does, it is a major disruption to life.

And for me, during this busy season of trying to raise babies, work outside the home, serve at church, launching a wellness ministry and trying to run my JuicePlus business, it was just the break that I needed.

These past couple days have been good for my soul.

Rest is so important, friends.

Whether it’s 8″ of snow that forces you to stay home and simplify for a few days,

or whether it’s rest you impose proactively because you know it’s needed…it does so much good.

As a family we try to make sure that we have a few nights each week that we are all home together because we recognize how important it is.

We try to set boundaries on the activities we choose to participate in and to keep margin to avoid being burnt out.

But as you probably well know, this is not easy.

And after these past few days, I’m reminded of the benefit of rest and time at home with loved ones.

Here are some pictures from our fun!

Notice what Mack is eating here? Wellness Witness “On-The-Go Protein Bites” Also notice that he has Press and Seal Wrap and scotch tape over his non-waterproof gloves. Yep.

Another thing that we started today over on the Facebook page was “Thankful Thursday”. I posted and asked people to tell me at least one thing that they were grateful for. The answers that they shared were beautiful.

I’ve learned that when we choose to find something in our circumstances to be grateful for, the problems seem much smaller.
