At first, we sort of dove right in and tried to do the best we could. Then, we realized that the needs and the demand for great, helpful information was overwhelming and personally, I sort of backed off.
Patty and I then began a season of praying for direction- one of many to come, I'm sure, as we see the blog grow. We have taken time to hear clearly from Him and would like to share with you where we are headed as a result.
First, Adding Zest is going to be a team blog of 10-12 regular contributors. We are super excited about this as each contributor will bring different angles to Zest. We will begin introducing our contributors during April, so be sure to check back often!
Secondly, we are going to have a brand new look soon! We are working with a designer to help make the site more appealing and easier to navigate. Every day we have scores of readers search for topics and we want to help you find what you are looking for.
Thirdly, we will soon have our first download available for purchase. There are two reasons for offering this material as a download: the graphic nature of the subject, and to help cover this ministry's expenses. The new look will accompany a move to a WordPress hosted site (but our site address will remain the same) and unfortunately, these things cost more than the pocket change we've been operating with. We'd also like to be able to host some fun giveaways, and the proceeds from this download, and possibly others, will help cover these ministry expenses.
Last (but not least!) we are going to be speaking in May at the "One" Marriage Webinar hosted by A Woman Inspired. We are honored to be a part of this seminar and hope to "see" as many of you there as possible!
We cannot wait to introduce you to the Zest team! They're a great group of ladies.
Don't forget we're drawing for tickets to the marriage conference we'll be speaking at! Leave a comment to put your name in the hat. =)
5 Zesters spoke up:
I am so glad to hear you will be at the One Marriage conference. I think many of us are so busy that we forget to pause for our husbands. It is wonderful to hear that you are praying for guidance for your blog and only God can bless what your vision is! Look forward to the growth you are making.

I enjoy your site very much and look forward to the introduction of the writing team.
I'm a regular lurker, but love reading the blog. Can't wait to see the new look and meet the additions to the writing team. Throw me in the hat for a ticket to the One marriage conference, please....
Patti and Heidi - these changes sound great! I am looking forward to see what the Lord is going to do with you and your site. Heather
Oooo a face lift! I always like to see fresh new looks. You are awesome women of God and dedicated wives and mothers. Blessings to you!
