The essential basics and beginning steps to Taking Back Your Wellness.

Balanced Fitness Expertise, Coming Soon

A Guest Blogger is Coming, Soon, to Taking Back Wellness

Taking care of Business, writing, editing, personal life, and checking off the to-do list. But somewhere in there, you've got to find time for Self-Care, Balance, and Smart Fitness Goals.

A Few Tools from My Writer/Editor Biz.

A couple of weeks ago, I was plugging away at my sizable list of weekly tasks for running my business. I was checking off my various “to-do’s:” addressing my goals, taking care of client work, building and putting business strategies in place, connecting with people, writing a couple of blogs for my other site, paying the bills, taking care of my personal and family life–Oh yeah, and checking e-mail and other correspondence. I get tired just reading the list!

Part of my Office in it’s more pristine days.

Low-and-behold, in my email, was a message from this nice gal whom I’d never met. She seemed to be a fitness trainer. As I read it, I thought, “Hey, she seems friendly, pleasant, and very ‘together.’ She comes across as knowledgeable, sensible, and interesting. She seems pretty cool.”
AND… she was inquiring about doing some guest-blogging here.

“Well, how cool is that?”
I asked a few more questions and told her to go ahead and submit an article for my review. She agreed.
The more I get to know her, the more I like her and her smart, balanced approach to fitness. Her name is Sheila Olson and you’ll “meet” her early next week. I think you’ll like her and her savvy outlook. I wish she lived near me. I believe I’d like working with her as I move toward my own fitness goals, and I regain my health.

Anyway, I’m in the editing process with her article right now. It sounds like she will be submitting more articles in the future too. So this could be the beginning of a fabulous working relationship. And you get the benefits of hearing from a fitness expert–and so do I. Gotta Love it! You’ll be hearing from her in the next couple of days. So. . . Stay tuned!
In the meantime,
Be Well,

Adding to the Mix

Health Reassembled

Healthy RecipesAnother quick check-in today. I’ll gradually get things put back together. . . although in a somewhat different form than before. The reclaiming of my scary-cluttered, extra room– into my Home Office space, is also coming along.

Rebuilding a website is. . . interesting. So many things to do!  Soon, I’ll be re-posting some First Steps. Those can help get you started on your Taking Back Wellness Journey. For now, I’ve rounded up a few videos in the “Video” tab (appropriately enough). A few in the “Like-Minded People” tab. . . of my Heros of Health & Wellness, and one in the “Recipe Videos” tab, of David Wolfe showing how he makes one of his many blended vegetable drinks. I’ve also grabbed a juice recipe for you, under the Recipes tab. There will be lots more to come.

I expect things might get shuffled around a bit, as I re-establish a nicer “theme” for the site, and settle on a different “look.” Things may need to be re-organized, so please bear with me.  It’s coming along!  And that’s kind of how it’s been working with the taming of my office too.
I’ll be back soon with another post for you. In the meantime . . .
Thanks for your patience,
Be Well,

Welcome Back!!

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…)
