Holy Clock Towers, Batman!

How is it possible? Christmas has come and gone already! It seems like it was just Easter. Time seems to slip by so quickly. I know I’ve said it a few times before, but holy time-warps… Obviously, I need to improve my time-management skills!

“Time-Crunched”

I guess I’ve been spending SO much time working on business-building, that I forgot to come here and update you on all things… happening. I ask your forgiveness.

I’m actually juggling 2 businesses now, but they are related. Taking Back Wellness is my… I guess you could call it my “umbrella” company. No, I’m not selling umbrellas– I mean umbrella in that it “houses” my other business.

I started Taking Back Wellness in… the spring of 2013. But as of April 2017, I created Taking Back Wellness, LLC and under this, is my “DBA” (Doing Business As) company, Holistic Wellness Writers. While I am still a certified holistic health coach, I’m also a writer and a terrific editor. My niche is helping Holistic Health Practitioners write more professionally and credibly, so they shine their brilliance out into the world. In this way, their clients can find them.

I’ve spent the last year working within a Business Mastermind, sharpening business skills, laying the foundation to grow my business, and learning different ways to offer my services. I’ve been working on building my Holistic Wellness Writers site, but apparently, overlooked updating you over here. (Sheepish grin) Sorry about that.

From this moment forward, I promise to become better at more consistent posting–on BOTH sites. Six to twelve times a year (or better) for each site. Ok? Ok.  Alright. I need to go fix dinner for my husband now. It’ll probably be something in my new Instant Pot. I love that thing! I’ll post later.

Be Well,

Office Reclamation Progress… Show-n-Tell

Posted on by

How Goes the Ol’ Office Progress?
I thought you might be curious about my office reclamation process. As it turns out, I had started this post about my progress with my office. But as things sometimes happen, the post fell through the cracks and got stuck on the back burner. It’s been a “draft” for ages! I think I was probably waiting to upload photos and got distracted.

I believe the last photos I showed you were of the extreme, overwhelming disarray–stacks of… stuff from my April 2016 post, you can see to the right (->).
Uggh! Talk about stressing me out!?

So up there ^ (to the left) is May 12, 2016, when I decided to move things around, create space and add some color–to make this reclamation process more fun. I really needed to get moving on it. The longer I waited, the more stressed I became. I figured adding the color might inspire me. Please enjoy my story in photos (22 of them), as I walk you through the process.

Welcome Back!!

Posted on by

Thanks for visiting Taking Back Wellness.
Del Rey Beach, Florida PalmIf this is your first visit, then Welcome. I appreciate your time and attention. I don’t take it for granted, and it’s my intention to deliver to you valuable content and services.

If you are returning, you will notice everything looks different now. Yep! I had some technical issues. I wasn’t equipped for them, but it’s taught me a thing or two about security. I was right in the middle of a year-long course of study. Life was tossing wrenches into the works, every which way! Then the hack. Ugh!
I’ve had to hit the reset button!

~This was my first Taking Back Wellness site.

What’s New and Different?
In summer 2015, I completed my year-long study and earned my certification as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I was about to add more content to this site (Yay!). . . then– I had a death in my family. So I needed to hit the pause button for a time. I had to deal with and process the loss before I could get back to getting this site put back together.

Crazy thing is, the older I get, the more people I lose (physical death is a part of living– sigh). I’ve actually been through a couple of such losses in the last several months. But Life (for me anyway) goes on. Onward! Next, I’ll be adding that content I promised and I’ll be putting together some awesome services and package programs for you.

Oh– and I’m expanding services. Initially, I was going to have just my Holistic Health Coaching packages and services offered. But now, I’ll be adding– Oh what to call it? It’s more than just editing services. I suppose I’ll call it, Editing, Book-Doctoring, and Communications Coaching packages and services– specifically for Holistic Health Practitioners.

So I’m back to this website building thing again. Unfortunately, it seems most of the former information and pages were lost. So I’m starting from scratch. . . again. I know! Kind of a bummer, as I don’t even remember what all was there. I had a backup. . . somewhere. But I’ll be darned if I can find it now.

But. . . NOT the end of the world as we know it, right? Maybe it’s best to start fresh. We will simply BREATHE through it and bring it back in an even better form.

You Might Be Asking, “What exactly, IS Taking Back Wellness anyway?”Lotus

In a Nutshell . . . Taking Back Wellness is my website & business which offers you information, resources, and services– for guiding you back to your most vital and energetic health and wellbeing. It’s guidance for you to reclaim your best YOU!

If you have been searching for why you feel sick and tired, and no one has been able to help you– stick around and visit frequently! I’ll have lots of information and services here for you (as I re-build).

It Does NOT Have to be That Way!
If doctor after doctor, after doctor, has told you, “It’s just part of aging. You might as well get used to it.” I call BS! They simply don’t have (more…)
