Twenty Seconds of Brave

September, 2017
Today children, teens and young adults head into school, teachers take a deep breath and begin anew, and parents welcome routines in an act of trust. 

Fall rhythms call for some physical and emotional support. 

Before Nate left the house this morning, he rolled the tension roller on his neck muscles. He'd been up late at the Ti-Cat game so he rolled on EnRgee for adrenal support. 

I packed the Stress Away, Valor, and EnRgee personal inhalers for James and sent him with a tension roller for headaches and muscle tightness. 

Here's a few blends you might like for support today. Great places to apply are at the back of the neck on the brain stem, over heart, behind ears, along spine and bottom of big toes.

ADULT TENSION ROLLER: 
10-15 drops Copaiba 
10-15 drops of PanAway 
10-15 drops of Peppermint
Add oils to 10 ml roller bottle. Top with carrier oil. 

These next blends have ratios that are great for kids ages 6-12. Adjust the number of drops up or down depending on age (adults can make up a roller with 2-3 times the amount of oil). 
PEACE ROLLER BOTTLE 
5 drops Lavender
3 drops Frankincense 
2 Lemon
Add oils to 10 ml roller bottle. Top with carrier oil. 

BRAVERY ROLLER BOTTLE 
4 drops Vetiver 
4 drops Valor 
2 drops Frankincense 
Add oils to 10mL roller bottle. Top with carrier oil. 

All we need is twenty seconds of brave to open new opportunities and friendships. Let's oil up, breathe deeply and dive in for just twenty seconds for new beginnings!.

My Story - Turning Health Challenges Around

I was twenty-two years old and felt like 90. 

Every day I would get out of bed not knowing if I could make it to my 4th year classes. 
Some days I would shower and by the time I finished I felt dizzy, sleepy, and my muscles felt like lead. Sometimes I would be so weak that I had to crawl on all fours back to my bedroom to lay down again. I would get 12-14 hours of restless sleep that would leave me feeling like a truck hit me. I ached all over and my head felt like it would burst with the pounding pain. I was really sick - for months... and then years.    

My adult life was just beginning and I'd been handed a life sentence of chronic illness.   

I got married that fall to Lance Wright, my very supportive and understanding husband. He and I talked about taking a year off - no schedule - to allow my body to recover. I was on a downward spiral and had no answers about how to turn it around. My world shrunk - fast.  

But as my outward world shrunk, I was determined to grow my inner world through reading, prayer, and writing. I knew the diagnosis I'd been given wasn't the end of my story. I trusted that I'd find the steps needed to heal.   

One day as I was asking God to heal me, I got a picture in my mind of a drooping flower bound tightly by weeds. A flash of understanding came with it. I felt as if God was saying, "Healing will be a slow process. Trust me and I will lead you to part of the weed to loosen its hold and remove its influence." This became the perfect symbol for my wellness journey - bit by bit finding healing steps and feeling life and strength return.  

Part of my wellness picture was uncovering trauma that had taught my mind and body that I wasn't safe. So the safety of my relationship with Lance was the starting point for the hard work of healing. When I would get discouraged about how little I could accomplish each day, Lance would remind me that my full-time job in this season was to heal. After a digging deep process, digestive cleansing, and dietary changes over eight years, I started to gain ground. 

I am 52 this year and feel better than I did in my twenties. Lance and I have raised three young men together and I spent 17 years as a homeschool Mom. I have become passionate about helping people discern steps to get unstuck to move toward health. It feels redemptive to use the years of research and experimenting to shorten the road for others looking for a path forward.

I'd love to pull up a chair at our table and share with you the small steps that are opening doors of possibility for life-giving change.  Let's Thrive - together!
