Welcome to one week into my new endeavor- Ellam Wellness! As I sat down to plan my vision of growing Ellam, sharing meaningful wellness information was a key pillar of what I am building. So, I am happy to introduce you to The Ellam Well, a newsletter filled with content My hope with this first edition of The Ellam Well is to provide you with a a monthly dose of everyday wellbeing. Anyone that knows me well (pun intended 😉), knows that I strive to live with intention, and I was deliberate in selecting the name for Ellam’s newsletter- The Ellam Well.

To do well is to make good progress, to be well is to be in good health, we often interject ‘well. . . ‘ as we pause to think saying “Well. . . “, a well can be a source of of an abundant supply of something abstract (think “well of knowledge”), and historically, a village water well served as a hub to bring people together to share information (while fetching their water). I want Ellam Well to do and be and represent all of those definitions!

My goal in every edition of The Ellam Well is to cover three topics as it relates to everyday wellbeing- a habit, a trend, and an essential. Habits will be simple steps or routines you can try, trends will cover the latest hype (with some verified sources of truth), and essentials are items that I love (personally) and feel are worthy of sharing with this community. One last note- I assure you that my content is my voice (I received the most interesting comment on my soft-launch intro email, describing my voice as having “strong AI vibes,” well, needless to say I wasn’t thrilled with that feedback (although I always tell my children that ‘feedback is a gift’). A dear friend of mine shared later that perhaps its simply because I’m well spoken and eloquent in (and AI is typically very polished) 😃- I’ll take that as a compliment for my Ellam Wellness brand voice!
