Hi, All; I have been meeting with a lot of new people this month as part of our newly rolled-out programs. While discussing our product offerings, I have been asked, "Do you have anything for neuropathy?" and other nerve pain issues. The long answer is that many of our clients, for the past 20 years, have found relief for various nerve pain-related ailments such as our cooling and Hot/cooling topicals. But the short answer is No, we haven't yet targeted this issue specifically. Now, as you may know, we do not give medical advice, nor do we make any sort of claims of healing or other sort specific health claims, however, sometimes our clients do find some relief or improved quality of life from our offerings. Since I'm trying some new things out, I decided to open the process up to outside participation, and let's see if we can find some effective natural solutions to a prevalent hardship in many lives. In the first stage, I'm willing to receive input as to possible ingredients or any suggestions for a finished product. I will consider all types of finished products as a possibility. Likely one on one-on-one meetings will be the best way to communicate; however, if enough people wish to participate, I will open up a group meeting. Next, I will need to gather the ingredients and create an initial offering/offerings, and then we will begin a testing process. Please reach out by sending an email to itsjoegrumbine@gmail.com (mailto:itsjoegrumbine@gmail.com)and let me know the best way to reach you and any thoughts you have to get started.   Thank you for being a part of the Willow Creek Springs dream!

Hi, our Healthy Living Blog is gaining traction, and I'm always looking for new content and writers. I generally give incentives for quality content. Here's what I'm looking for Topic: anything connected to the concept of Healthy Living Content: no limit to word count but typically between 150 and 500 words. More if it's riveting! Photos are to be submitted separately from the text. Thank you to everyone that has submitted content; it makes our Healthy Living community richer. Blessings Joe

Remember, products that use all-natural ingredients do not have chemical stabilizers or emulsifiers. It is always good practice to shake vigorously any liquid or semi-liquid formula before ingesting or applying it! Just a tip thank you to everyone who has supported our dream!

Hi, it's Joe again. I wanted to wrap this year up with some thoughts. As you may know, I run a small, family-owned business. We handcraft natural skincare and holistic remedies. I have many strengths and many weaknesses, and 2023 was a test of both, to be sure. I hope you and yours are doing great and that 2023 has been filled with blessings. I know that this forum has been sputtering along and that it's kind of old-fashioned and clunky, but for me, it's a warehouse for information, and for those of you who know me, one thing you likely know is that I don't give up easily. I'm going to keep at it, knowing that the new people who pop in will have a view of at least some of the history and exploration that we have shared as a community. One of the things that a small business notices most is the public support from the members of the community. Sometimes, it's a private conversation, but the little things like comments and shares, questions asked, and reviews really help prime the pump and help bring more valuable members to the community, and we all benefit from that. I want to thank all of you who have shown real support this year, and I'm looking forward to a blessed and fruitful 2024 to share with our community! Here's an easter egg. The first one to create a post or story that brings Willow Creek Springs or Gardens of Hope some love (not just an emoji comment or a simple repost but a bit of effort and some thought, I have a $100 coupon for you. and a $50 coupon for everyone else that posts. (limit of one per person) This is good until the end of 2023! Happy New Year!

Hi there! Our mistake is your friend if you or someone you know is looking to quit tobacco. You see, our "Quit Tobacco" capsules were out of stock, but our website showed that we had them in stock. One of our reps ordered some, and rather than let them know that the item was unavailable, I decided to make a batch and honor our word.     Our quit tobacco formula is an excellent blend of herbs and, of course, CBD. This is not a miracle solution. However, many people who were serious about removing this toxic habit have been able to use this aid to lessen the frequency and severity of cravings and reduce the anxiety associated with detoxing.  Not enough people know about this aid to keep it on our regular order status, but I am going to make an offer to work with and provide the product to anyone wishing to quit and willing to put in an effort. And, of course, talk about the results. I have a plan, and it will work. I'm making this offer good until the end of the year. If interested, send an email to itsjoegrumbine@gmail.com,(mailto:itsjoegrumbine@gmail.com) and I'll work with you. or Schedule a call (https://bookedin.com/book/willow-creek-springs)

Hi, it's Joe here. I'm setting up several trials and studies of products. In the past, many people signed up to participate in a study or trial, but it's been tough to bring in the necessary data to bring the value they deserve. Here are a few guidelines. If you are engaged in a trial or study, please communicate. If you are unsure or unclear about the requirements or details, the best answer is to simply ask. I'm glad to assist. If a requirement is to submit photos, please do so, as it brings the validation I seek. If there is a gift for participating, please submit all requested requirements and let me know that you have completed and I will gladly send your gift! Please let me know if you have suggestions for a study or trial. Blessings Joe Grumbine 951-436-6312 itsjoegrumbnine@gmail.com (mailto:itsjoegrumbnine@gmail.com)

I am happy to announce that Gardens of Hope 501c3 is progressing nicely after just seven months. We have planted hundreds of veggie and herb plants, and several therapeutic gardens have been started by supporters and volunteers alike. We have engaged several military veterans and have created an advisory board to bring their experience to the table. Many veterans will experience the healing value of horticulture for a wide range of issues. We have had a decent number of volunteers come out and help work the farm and gain some therapy themselves and we've launched a number of projects fueled and funded by the support of the community. Gardens of hope began growing microgreens as a volunteer project as well as a fundraising tool. We're learning together and providing nutrient-dense superfoods to people that wish to support our org and their health. We have met with and given tours to staff and leadership of several local non profits and I'm glad to forcast some incredible projects and partnerships in the near future. We met with The head of the Riverside County mental health facility and I'm very happy to announce that within a month, we will be unveiling a project that will provide therapy and a venue for meetings, sessions, retreats, and more. If you're interested in participating in therapeutic horticulture via the Gardens of Hope, please reach out to itsjoegrumbine@gmail.com (mailto:itsjoegrumbine@gmail.com)and we'll get you started. If your'e interested in access to our microgreens, Link to intro(https://youtube.com/shorts/Prg1VPkZ_aI) Finally, as you may know, Willow Creek Springs is a formal sponsor of Gardens of Hope 501c3, and we're offering fresh-cut microgreens as a sponsored fundraiser.  Click link to access order form.(https://us4.list-manage.com/survey?u=4de1df2d702cc349c552a44f3&id=6bf6f44dd2&attribution=false)
