She revealed to her massive following that she had only recently had surgery based on an old high school injury that had been acting up.

Joanna continued with a message of hope, writing: “But I’m truly grateful for the forced rest during the busiest time of the year. It has been a gift to simply stay put, stare at the wonder all around, and just be still. 

“Wishing you and yours a beautiful Christmas week. It may not all go as planned- but may you find the beauty and embrace the wonder of the here and now.”
