Welcome to Yonder Willow Wellness. As part of my business I write on a handful of different websites. In my mind they are all part of personal development but I separate them out for people who are interested in one or two of those areas.
Below you can see the latest content on each of those sites and what they are about.
Building an Online Business
Welcome to my blog about building an online business. I’ve been doing this for several years and have learned a few things that I’d like to share.
This all started for me in 2006 when I joined a network marketing company. I tried to do the whole coffee shop / hotel meeting thing but it just didn’t fit my personality or lifestyle. For one, I prefer to live in places where there are more cows and cornfields than there are people and houses. So I decided to take my new business online. Well, at least the product side of it. I essentially became an affiliate marketer. And I like it. Read more on www.playlikeamillionaire.com.

Jade GreenZymes is a Must for Me in the Spring
I depend on my Jade GreenZymes powder every year to get through the spring. My current jar was getting close to empty after sharing it with my son and daughter, so it was time to order some more. Just as I sat down to login to Nikken I received an email about the new Jade GreenZymes packets. I didn’t give it too much attention. They’ve had packets before, but I use the jar. So I left the email for later and continued to log in to place my order. Then I was stunned to see that the jar is no longer available.
The jar has always been there. The packets have come and gone, and are back again. The capsules came much later. But the jar has been there from the beginning. Nobody likes change when it comes to the things they rely on, and I wasn’t too excited about the jar going away. But we haven’t had much rain over the past few weeks and I need my Jade GreenZymes.
So my options now are the packets or the capsules. The choice is easy in my mind, but I’ll walk through it for you. Read more on www.getmywellness.com.
Writing a Modern WordPress Plugin
If you’ve been reading along, you know how I recently updated WordPress and found that a custom plugin I wrote several years ago is now grossly out of date.
It’s broken.
When I tried to update the software I needed to revise my plugin I found that my computer, a Mac, is also grossly out of date. I shared all of the trials and tribulations I went through to get a stable development environment last time.
Here I’m going to share the same in regards to updating my custom WordPress plugin. Read more on www.waynewoodworth.com.
Building A Stable Development Environment
I shared in my previous post how I updated WordPress recently and it broke the custom plugin that I wrote several years ago. Then through updating my development setup I found that my Mac is much more out of date than I thought. I don’t want to get a new Mac because they don’t make one comparable to the one I have, so I tried a new laptop with Windows 11. But it keeps crashing. Which leaves Linux.
I like Linux. It’s open source and free to use. I tried it out once many years ago and really enjoyed it because it took me back to my college days working on Unix systems. It’s a good operating system for regular office-type stuff and surfing the Internet and it’s great for software development, especially for the web. And that’s what I need right now.
Linux runs very well on old hardware, but I’m installing it on a new HP Omen Windows 11 laptop. I’m not getting rid of Windows though. I want to make this laptop dual boot so that when I start up I can choose either Windows 11 or Linux. People do it all the time so it should be easy. Operative word being “should.” Read more on www.waynewoodworth.com.
Welcome to the Chaos!
Have you ever noticed that when you decide to make big changes in your life that everything seems to fall apart? Well, this blog post is about just one area that has fallen apart. It happens that it directly affects my existing business.
Yeah, welcome to the chaos. That about covers it.
Hi, I’m Wayne. I’ve been working for myself online for several years and I decided in the last few months to revamp my online business. At first I thought I was just going to continue what I’ve been doing, just do it a lot better to generate a lot more income. It turns out that I’m going a lot bigger, and what I’m currently doing will just be a small contributing part to that.
Here’s the background. I have an online affiliate product business that I run through another website – GetMyWellness.com. The website is critical because it is how I get traffic to the products so that I make money. I use WordPress for the site because it is an easy way to create and publish content. But I used to work as a software developer, so I had to create a custom plugin to help build my pages. I wrote it several years ago just after WordPress released it’s Gutenberg block-style editor. If you work with WordPress then you are probably familiar with their block concept. Read more on www.waynewoodworth.com.
Is Your Mind Supporting Your Desire to Lose Weight?
Most people think that calories and exercise are the most important things when you want to lose weight, at least when you are doing it the old-fashioned, natural way. I disagree. I believe the mind is the most important. Your thoughts are the biggest part of anything that you accomplish and weight loss is no exception.
There are three things that you have to do to get your mind on board with your plan to lose weight. First is to set a measurable goal, second is to believe that you can reach your goal, and third is to decide that you will accomplish your goal no matter what. Without them you will probably never lose the weight you want to lose. Read more on www.buildyourwellness.com.
Do You Want to Lose Weight Too?
I want to lose weight. A lot of it. I have had success losing weight before, but I gained it all back and more. That’s how weight loss goes for most people. They start, make some progress, then something happens in life and the plan just disappears.
Now I want it gone for good and I’m going to share here what I’m doing over the next several weeks (or months more likely). I would love for you to follow along and participate. It’s much easier to travel this road with other people than to go it alone. I’ll go more into that at the end of this post. Read more on www.buildyourwellness.com.
