Well friends, after nearly a decade of writing Wellness Wednesday, it’s time for me to say goodbye. What started as a simple “we should start a blog” conversation in 2013 has evolved into countless posts and one of the most supportive communities I’ve ever known. I’m so grateful for all of my readers who kept me writing and sharing, even when the worst case of writer’s block set in. As one last stroll down memory lane, here are five of my favorite blogs from over the years.
- 20 Reasons to Exercise That Aren’t Weight Loss
- The Power of Gratitude
- When the Path Gets Tough, Keep Looking Forward
- Weight Loss Can be “Ruff”
- Beware the “Nutri-Bully”
Mark your calendar to meet me back here on December 29 when I’ll share five more favorites.
Whether you’re a faithful reader or just dropping by, thank you for making Wellness Wednesday part of your day. And cheers to a happy and healthy holiday season!
Thank you so much for all your hard work that you have done over the years. I was surprised that I still got your letters even after I had to dropped out of being a TOPS member. I thank you for keeping me on your list to send me your letters. I will miss them, but I understand when it’s time to move on. I wish you nothing but the best on your next journey that you take in 2022.
