What does a health and wellness community mean to you? Owl’s Nests’ community is centered on health and wellness sharing and caring.

Owl’s Nest is a community within a community. When I first started it I thought would work as a ghostwriter. I’m a nerd and a quiet person somewhat introverted. I wanted to write but not with my name all over. This was partly because I’m shy and do my best work without distractions.

I’m a book nerd who loves to have the feel of a physical copy of a book. I love to write and a pen and paper in hand has always appealed to me. I go around in my head and can get lost in my projects.

I like comfortable clothes and a cup of coffee. I usually hole up for hours alone out of habit. Now that I have learned to use a computer and even have used AI I find it both frustrating and helpful.

There are days when I want to smash the computer and its boxed-in controls. And days when it helps erase blank pages. It made a junky and a fool out of me. I have a love-hate relationship with it.

But, although I was often alone I find the idea of community intriguing. Community to me was helping each other. We had a huge family and had hand-me-down clothes all my life. Fortunately, I didn’t notice it when I wore somebody’s clothes to school. It fostered a sense of community.

As I began working out my health and spiritual things community became necessary. My old self cracked and slowly slipped away. My shell came down some and people were someone to communicate and share with.

I wanted to reach, teach, and inspire people’s healthy choices because it helped me overcome crises. I wanted others to have what I had and I wanted to change the state of our health everywhere.

This includes being financially stable. I wanted to help others and bring about what things I could to serve. Service to me was a given because of my love for God.

I thought about being a health coach and in a sense I am. I don’t have to let my emotions get bogged down if someone chooses not to listen. Of course, I’m sorry for them because so many times I’m right. It pains me when I see people make mistakes. I have compassion and sorrow when people die of diseases.

The purpose of this community is to share what has worked and is helping ethically to get the word out. Copywriting combines my interest and responsibility to the community with writing—my childhood dream.

I believe with a shared interest I can find the words and I have the training and some medical knowledge from reading countless books about health. I joined Eartheracademy, a community of health-minded people both online and at a retreat in 2020—which closed because of COVID-19. I was reading and implementing books on fasting before this; I turned to God while being ill.

Community is churches and people sharing ideas, food, knowledge, and feedback that benefit others. I posted some of my delicious and healthy pudding recipes for the community just check out the blog, “Food That’s Good For You As Well As Scrumptious” where I share this.

You see, I feel that emotional and psychological health can’t be separated from spiritual health. I had several brushes with it in postpartum depression and distress in high school. The doctor released me and I worked towards natural health. This became a passion.

Having options and making them known to the community has been my goal ever since. I listen and learn as well as share with others what I learn. I expanded on what I knew by collaborating with others.
