Hi Everybody!

The story goes like this: earlier this year I started a website called Nutrish and Delish and had all these grand plans of blogging along with my then new found passion for Instagram-ing all the nutritious and delicious things in my life. It worked really well for a few months. Then reality struck where friend, family and work obligations always came first and blog posts got shelved. So with full intentions of resuming my original plans, this spring I shut the website down to make sure I didn't lead anyone on and to regroup my ideas. 

I took time to embrace everything that was going on in my life: passed my recertification exam as a NASM personal trainer, celebrated a couple of my best friends' weddings, visited family overseas I hadn't seen in two years, created my first ever pieces of silversmithing jewelry and changed positions at work to a dream one that I thought I'd have to wait four more years to get! Most importantly, I focused on me for the first time ever. All of these great happenings reignited my motivation to get the website going again, but I knew there had to be some changes:

  • First, I wanted a site to embrace not just what I do professionally but also personally so that you all can get a full picture of who I am and what I stand for, and occasionally get a break from my nonstop food picture snapping! And alas The Wellness Whisk is born. Merriam-Webster defines wellness as "the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal." Yes, I still focus on creating and sharing nutritious and delicious treats. But being healthy goes beyond food and nutrition, so I want to include physical and mental health topics as well. Whisk gets added because I'm a dorky baker who loves alliteration and must give credit to the original culinary interest that got me where I am today. 
  • Secondly, I needed to take the pressure off of myself. When I started to blog the first time around, I delayed posts due to fear of imperfection. Even when I started to build this site, I kept putting off publishing for the same reasons. Tonight, I'm taking a chance and just clicking the publish button once I finish writing to you.   

The reason I want to go live now even though the website is not done (*fair warning*) is because there are many things I want to share and conversations I want to have right now. If I continue to postpone the debut, I can't move forward, and that's what life is all about: living in the moment. I haven't finished importing recipes and posts from the old site but don't worry, they will make it over one day (hopefully soon!).  

For the time being, if you want a little more background, you can see my original blog introduction below... ​
