Taming Tummy Troubles!
Digize Essential Oil (a blend of Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Anise, Patchouli, and Lemongrass created for digestive health) and Peppermint Essential Oil came to the rescue when eleven-year-old Andrew rose from his bed after bedtime calling for help. He was clammy and his stomach was churning. I rushed with him to the bathroom expecting nausea to erupt. I asked Lance to stay with him and rub his back while I ran downstairs to where I keep my pre-made rollers filled with combinations of essential oils in proper dilution for topical use. This one was my "Tummy Troubles" roller. 

I ran back upstairs and rubbed the roller filled with Digize/Peppermint in Coconut Oil (as a carrier) combo on his abdomen. Then I grabbed my Peppermint roller and put it at the base of the skull where he was so clammy and hot - to cool him down. I also gave him a teaspoon of honey to calm his irritated stomach. 

He responded immediately. 

Within a minute, he was already feeling better. 

We stayed in the bathroom as I rubbed his back and watched him closely. His breathing and churning stomach calmed. 

After about five minutes he returned to bed and slept soundly until morning and never did throw up. 

He is now a firm believer in the power of essential oils to benefit the body safely and effectively. Thanks, Young Living for creating such therapeutic products and for teaching us how to use them well.

Made to Thrive!

 
Hitting burn-out changed everything! I was twenty-two years old and felt like 90.  But instead of ending my story, being diagnosed with a chronic illness made me determined to heal and make a meaningful life!

As my outward world shrunk, I had my husband's support to grow and 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.  

I am 56 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.
