Faith-Based Reflections

🌸 May 2025 E-Zine: Blooming in the Messy Middle

🌸 May 2025 E-Zine: Blooming in the Messy Middle
Hi friend,

May can feel like a “middle place”—not quite the beginning of something new, but not the end of a season either. It’s where growth is happening... but it might still look messy.
In this month’s e-zine, I’m sharing thoughts on how to stay rooted in faith when you're in the in-between—when things are unclear, unfinished, or stretching you in uncomfortable ways.

Inside this edition, you’ll find:
🌷 Encouragement to bloom where God has you, even if it’s not where you expected
πŸ“– Scripture-based perspective on trusting the process of growth
🌿 Tips for emotional and physical stamina (yes, even when you're tired)
🍽️ A refreshing, nourishing recipe to support lightness and energy
πŸͺ΄ Simple oil blends and mindset shifts to stay steady when life feels uncertain


I hope this month’s message reminds you that even if it’s messy—you’re still growing. And God is still working.

Standing with you in the waiting,
Debra

Debra (retired Naturopath, Master Herbalist, Aromatherapist and Nutritional Counselor) enjoys sharing the many benefits of a healthy lifestyle and achieving your dreams.

"For over 20 years my passion has been to help others take responsibility for their own health in simple ways - better nutritional choices, using essential oils, supplements and herbs, using chemical free cleaning products, baking fresh home-made bread and making other people, pet and home friendly choices.
 
My rewards have been incredible. The letters and testimonies I receive from people and how simple changes have meant a better quality of life for them and their families are encouraging and inspiring to me and others.
 
Along the way I have been privileged to learn about many products. One of these is Young Living Essential Oils. As an aromatherapist I have experienced and researched many brands of essential oils and found Young Living's to be the only choice for me and my family. It would be my pleasure to support you."
