Welcome to my Living 4 Wellness Blog!

When I started thinking what Wellness meant to me, my journey took me many directions!

My family started down the path to trying to live a healthier life a few years ago when it seemed one of us was always sick with one thing or another.  I was overweight, moody, tired, stressed-out... physically, mentally and spiritually at rock bottom.  I grew concerned about taking so many medications but never getting better.  Getting old was not easy!  This could not be the way it was suppose to be!  I was determined to find a better way to live!

My sister shared with me how using essential oils had helped her migraines.  I started learning how to use essential oils to promote my own health.  I left my corporate IT job to focus on my family and started working at a chiropractic clinic.  There I learned more about letting the body heal itself.  I started growing spiritually in my faith, when we found a new church home.  Time with Jesus became a daily part of my life and my thoughts about myself and my life began to change. I began reading books about eating healthy, fresh foods. I started learning about the chemicals in our food, cleaning and beauty products. I was shocked to learn about the impact of sugar and processed foods to not just our weight, but our health!  I grew more and more concerned with the types of products I buy.  It becomes a little overwhelming when you start to really think about Wellness as a whole!

So why the Living 4 Wellness blog?  I started this blog because I wanted to lose weight and track my journey.  But focusing on Wellness, means this blog will cover many more topics other than weight loss, food and recipes.  For me, wellness includes my faith, my home, my body, my attitude... let's face it, Wellness is the foundation of who you are in every aspect of your being.

So welcome to my blog!  Let's see where this path to Wellness takes us together!
