One year ago today, I published my first blog on this site.
That was me lining up my thoughts and beliefs with my actions and desires, and saying a big “Yes!” to the future I envisioned.
Since then, I have not only published a wellness tip and a blog six days a week, but I have interacted with you fabulous readers, read some amazing writing on others’ blogs, been inspired and hopefully given inspiration—maybe even to you.
I also successfully dealt with my own wellness challenges—including a major surgery—improved my nutrition, and have maintained my weight and fitness level.
In addition, I completed my coaching certifications and my business has taken off—I’ve even hired a business coach to help me with it. I’m super excited about the changes I have coming as a result, including a new website, coaching programs, e-book, beach-side Love Your Way Slim retreat, and much, much more!
More importantly, I love my life—and the people in it—more than I ever dreamed possible!
My intention with this blog has been—and will remain—to inspire and provide value to you fabulous readers. Each blog is an expression of how much I appreciate your time, your energy, where you are in life and on your wellness journey, our connection, and Who you are as a person.
Thank you for all the follows, likes, awards, support, and comments. They have all been felt and appreciated. And the greatest honor of all has been your letting me know when a blog has moved or inspired you.
And I especially want to thank all you readers who have been with me from those early days. Knowing you were reading and cheering me on made all the difference in the world. Much love and appreciation to each of you.
Here’s to the changes and growth we will all experience together in the coming year. I look forward to connecting more deeply with you as we share our personal wellness journeys.
Together we can do it!
PS Just for fun, here is my first post. I’ve come a long way, baby!

Wellness Tip of the Weekend: Have faith in your ability to make the decisions that will create optimal health—and then follow through with them.
Every moment of every day we are creating our life. Each decision will either hold us in place or move us towards the person we want to become. If you want to be fit, strong, and lean, then consistently make the decisions that someone who is fit, strong, and lean would make.
Each successful decision, each pound lost–each tiny sign of progress–is like the scenery passing by on a car trip. It is the landmark on the map showing you that you are moving towards the person you want to be. Celebrate those signs, no matter how small! It means you are succeeding!
Together we can do it!
We give thanks for you and your writings that opens us up to reveal the truth of who we are. Well done, and keep posting
Thank you! And I have much appreciation for you. Thank you for your comments and support!
Congratulations Hanna. It is an important accomplishment. And I might add to your statement: “Since then, I have not only published a wellness tip and a blog six days a week” – it’s rare that I don’t find a nugget in each post of yours. Quality rains!

I needed this today, so thank you! I am at a good BMI now, my blog is taking off, and life wouldn’t be sweeter, save for one thing. I am a smoker. That ends today. By the end of today I will be a non-smoker. My intention is to quit for good this time. I have the life I have always wanted. I want to stick around for a bit to enjoy. Imagine what my life will look a year from now! I can only see good things!
Cheering you on to success! I know you can do it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
