I am so grateful for the abundance in our world… I am grateful for my oils. One day when I was particularly feeling heartbroken, I just sat in my car not even knowing what to do next, no energy to move forward. I didn't even know which oil or song or friend's voice might help. I looked over and saw Cheer…

I used to be sick MOST of the time. I really didn’t remember a time when I felt well and whole. Now, it’s the opposite.
I realized today that I had some odd little feelings...a touch of tightness in my chest, an ache in my knees, a drip in my throat. It made me curious, what’s happening? Then I realized...those are the subtle signs my body is under attack. So subtle that in years past, I would have labeled it as feeling great… I am so grateful for the transformation…

As a child, I was what they call, sickly. My body didn’t seem to work as a whole and the random parts did their thing relatively disconnected to the other parts. Therefore I found my happy place in books and my big imagination. I ignored my body as best as I could and tried to make a life without it entering TOO much into the equation.

Ask yourself, and be honest: when was the LAST time you did something JUST BECAUSE? I realized that even playing games with my kids, though I thoroughly enjoy it, is something I value because it’s good for the family and our relationships. There is a purpose to it greater than myself. My business with essential oils is something I absolutely LOVE and so I enjoy that work. But it’s still about more than just me having fun.

To noticing things in our environment, in our body, in our emotions and in our mind…

This month as we dive into the theme of BREATHING and AWARENESS, let’s consider how we roll with change…
