New AromaConnect diffuser giveaway!  The best oils to use on kids and how to have healthy lungs!
You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living organization.  This is for education purposes only, this is not a solicitation.  

Can you believe August is here?  Fall is upon us and focusing on how to prepare for winter health is key.  We will be going over some tips and suggestions on what to have on hand for the winter months ahead to keep you and your family healthy.  

Come join our Healthy Living Social on August 22nd in Antioch IL. We have been getting together since the month of May kickoff and it’s been a wonderful place to share ideas, touch on a topic of health and meet others who are wanting to take their health seriously while enjoying appetizers and drinks. Bring a friend, cost is always free! August we have Kathy Welsh come and talk about womens health for our health topic of the month!!! Join us, even if you find out last minute you can come, you’re welcome to just show up!!!
If your able to bring a small appetizer to share we would be grateful but if you cannot, please just come and enjoy the gathering.

To kick off August, we will be having a diffuser GIVEAWAY!  Raise your hand if you like giveaways!!!!!!  Have you seen Young Livings two new diffusers?   We will be giving away the new AromaConnect Lunamist   What a great way to start the Fall season.  As with all my giveaways, all you need to do is answer one question to get your name entered for a chance to win this new beauty!  Tell me how you use your Young Living oils in your home, for the smell?  or to support your health? or both? That's it, your name is entered and we will pick a winner on August 31st and announce it on September 1st.  It will be sent via snail mail!  


If you have been around Young Living for any amount of time, you have heard us talk about a desk reference.  It is like the encyclopedia for Young Living oils.  A three letter agency does not let us tell you exactly all the things that these beautiful oils do, we can only speak of them in very general and simple terms.  So we cannot say that Oregano is a natural anti-biotic, but that it just helps support your body and is calming and refreshing.  We have been using desk references for years and years to truly know how to support our health conditions with specific information that the references have.  They are not written by Young Living, so they can say more than what the Young Living website says about what each oil does for the body.  LSP was the largest publisher of desk references and sadly went out of business in 2021.  Now we have another resource for those who want to use the oils to address their health concerns at a cellular level with more information at their fingertips.  


Seeds of Thyme App
The Seeds of Thyme app is the go-to destination for essential oil education. As the official publisher of the Essential Oil Reference Guide, this app offers exclusive and in-depth knowledge from this treasured resource. For just 99¢ per month or $8.99 USD per year, you can access thousands of essential oil solutions for common health conditions, including usage tips, step-by-step recipes, and so much more.
Plus, you can try it risk-free with a 7-Day Trial Period!



Fall is upon us and we want to be prepared for all the things.  My two favorite respiratory support oils to take internally for tough respiratory things are Red Cedar Bliss, formulated for supporting your lungs and immune system and Laurus Nobilis.  4-5 drops a day in a gelatin capsule will do your lungs a lot of good.  If you cannot swallow capsules, you can put the drops in a tsp of raw honey. These are must haves in my home to keep our lungs healthy and breathing easy.  Red Cedar Bliss has Laurus Nobilis in the combination of oils in the blend, so if you can't afford both, Red Cedar Bliss should be on your list.  It is not only good to take internally for lungs, but it also just smells devine. 

What is in your Fall wellness kit?  I say all the time, to order one or two oils per month on Loyalty to build your wellness kit to keep the cost economical and to be prepared when things strike at home.  Did you know that Young Living oils do not expire?  If you do not use that full bottle of Lavender this year, or the next or even in 10 years, it is still just as potent and valuable for your health issues ten years down the line.  You can throw them in your diaper bag and forget about them until they are needed, you can put them in a bug-out bag for that emergency that you hope never comes, or maybe you just use Peppermint daily but one day your skin gets sun-kissed, your baby gets diaper rash, you can't sleep or your sinus' are angry, you can go grab that bottle of Lavender that has been sitting on your shelf or in your drawer and it will still work!  Its a beautiful thing.  Our oils do not expire like over the counter items.  

For the last few months I have been ordering a couple of items a month on Loyalty to prepare my winter wellness kit.   I am going to share my list with you, to give you some insight as to what might be of help to you as you build yours.  If you have questions about what is on my list, please reach out.  I would love to help you feel your best and keep you and your family healthy!  

Winter must haves: 
Inner Defense - I always keep two bottles on hand, when we are struggling with something intense, we will take 4x daily, each with a meal, and finish the bottle in a week.  Always feeling better within a day but continue it until the bottle is gone.  Its an amazing supplement that we only use when our body is struggling.  
RC, Eucalyptus Globulous is our topical respiratory oils
DiGize and Peppermint for all the holiday foods that upset your stomach and daily bloating
Thieves cough drops, we keep two packages on hand, we redeem our Loyalty points for them so we never pay for them, they work and they work and they work for the worst coughs and scratchy itchy throats and they have no sugar added.  
Thieves, Cassia, Clove and Lemon oil for immune support
Lemon, Lime, Orange, Clove as the most inexpensive oils for diffusing for immune support 
Oregano, Thyme, for sinus and immune support
Copaiba to help your bodies natural response to inflammation
Frankincense for all the issues that are hard to tackle and for healthy cellular function
PanAway for all the hard muscle and nerve issues we experience
Raindrop Kit for when your body is hurting, in every which way, just follow the directions and give your family a raindrop to help them feel better quickly.  
 
Do you have babies?  Do you know that oils are so good for kids and parents alike?  We personally use all the regular oils on grandbabies and kids we are privileged to oil up, but if you are a new parent or new to oils and are not sure what to use, Young Living has a kids line that are pre-diluted so there is no question about how to dilute and which ones to use.  Each oil name gives you insight on what to use it for, so you can apply with no stress!

To add to the goodness for your little ones, Young Living is giving away Feather the Owl diffuser this month with qualifying purchase. This diffuser is not only adorable, but it has been drop tested over 300 times so that it can handle little hands that might be a little rough with it.  Feather also has a sound machine option and you can turn the light off if you only want the diffuser option.  I know it was developed for kids but I purchased one for myself years ago after he came out and he is a great addition to my diffuser collection. Its great when the grandkids come over for nap-time.  


If you would like more information on product usage, hosting a gathering to educate your friends and family, shipping, or just need prayer, please reach out.  We would love to assist you and help you feel your best.

This is my hand, and it is exciting!  Can you guess why?  

For those who know me and see me daily, I have not been able to make a fist with my left hand since December.  I have not been able to wear my wedding rings since December.  
It started with mild swelling and slight pain. I didn’t hit it, or injure it that I know of so I just thought I strained it since I type every day.  Then one night I took my rings off and poof, my whole ring  finger swelled up and I couldn’t bend it beyond the first joint. 
I dealt with it for months and thought it would go away.  Then it didn’t.  I didn’t consistently apply anything to it.  I finally decided to talk to a hand specialist and of course he told me to get steroid injections even though he said they only worked for half the people 🤯🙄. No thank you.  Look up the dangers of steroid injections. 🤔. Then he said surgery was the only other option.  🫤. I don’t want surgery unless I’m dying soooooo I decided to take some time and see what I could do on my own.  The doctor said it was a strained tendon and the band around it was tight causing my finger not to bend and that he needed to cut that band to release the tendon. Literally I couldn’t bend my finger into fist position UNTIL today.  ☺️
I was giving my husband a raindrop daily when he was working two weeks ago when I noticed that my finger was limber and could almost touch my palm.  So I decided to put those oils in a roller ball and apply daily, 4x a day. 
This accomplishment here is after only 2 days of consistent application. 
Oils work. They help the bodies natural response to inflammation and help restore the body back to normal balance at a cellular level. 
I’ll keep you posted to see further results. 🥰

Here is a previous write up I have done on Raindrop. Try it. Your family will LOVE them and the results 
Have you tried a Young Living Raindrop Technique yet? 
If not, you need to!  My daughter started giving them to us when she was 10 years old.  Yes, anyone can do it.  You can purchase the Young Living Raindrop kit that comes with paper instructions on how to use the kit.   My daughter would lay us on the floor or bed and apply the oils while she followed the instructions.  It is so soothing and relaxing.  Even if you cannot purchase the kit (say its out of stock at times) you can buy the bottles of oils individually and watch a full version of the Raindrop on You Tube.  There is one that has Gary Young doing the technique at a class.  
I highly recommend this, I have gone to Young Livings Raindrop class over the years and the benefits are simply amazing.  Look up the benefits in your desk reference, there is a whole section to describe the Raindrop treatment and what it entails!!!!
If you cannot have someone with you to administer the Raindrop to you, take advantage of the Raindrop in a bottle!  Great for singles, or people who travel a lot!  

Raindrop technique is a powerful technique using essential oils that was developed by D. Gary Young in the 1980s. It combines several modalities to bring balance and transformation. It also supports body systems on a physical and emotionally level.
The most amazing thing about Raindrop is that all of my clients measure taller after just one session! Yeah!  They are not actually taller, but inflammation is gone from the spine, so the posture is elongated.  We measure before and after and its pretty amazing to see it before your eyes.  
What is Raindrop Technique?
This technique involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more.
Gary found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, created a synergistic effect for the body. The three modalities that combine to form Raindrop Technique are:
Aromatherapy – Raindrop technique uses seven single essential oils, two blends and one essential oil massage blend during the session. It is congruent with the French application of aromatherapy where essential oils are applied NEAT (undiluted) to the body.
Vita Flex Technique – Vita Flex was brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is an ancient Tibetan methodology meaning "vitality through the reflexes". Its theory is based on the fact that slight pressure applied to the body creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body. This is known as piezoelectric.
Feather Stroking - This is similar to a massage term technique called effleurage. But this technique was actually termed by the Native American Indians.
How does Raindrop get its Name?
Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating rain drops! It feels like a rain drop gently striking your spine, and it is very relaxing and comforting.
It is thought that the oils interact with a person's electric field before even penetrating the skin of the back. Thereby, enhancing the electromagnetic properties of the oils as well. Amazing
What are the Benefits of Raindrop Technique?
There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique. Here are just a few:
Balance and Re-align the Energy Centers of the Body – The combination of techniques brings electrical and structural alignment to the body. The essential oil blend of Valor helps the body align and is often referred to as "chiropractor in the bottle".
Non-Manipulative Technique – No manipulation as in chiropractic is performed. The oils help support the body to come back into harmony by opening energy flow throughout the body.
Reduce Stress and tension  - Not only can the oils enhance positive emotions such as joy and happiness, but they can also help us release negative emotions that are subconsciously stored on a cellular level
Aid the Body's Natural Response to Irritation and Injury – Thyme and Oregano support the immune, respiratory, nervous, and other body systems*. They are strong antioxidants.
Eases Muscle Discomfort after Exercise – Muscles that are tense and in minor discomfort due to exercise will also benefit. Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress and Peppermint essential oils may reduce tension. See the section on oils for muscles for more information!
Support Healthy Immune System – Thyme and Oregano essential oils support a healthy immune system*.
Emotional Well Being and Release – Essential oils effect the limbic system where emotions are stored in the "brain's emotional computer".
Help Detox the Body Systems – The oils that are high in phenols may cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance cleansing of the body.

Valor or Valor II Essential Oil Blend
Thyme Essential Oil
Basil Essential Oil
Wintergreen Essential Oil
Marjoram Essential Oil

Are essential oils safe for kids? Palo Santo from dead trees? Powerful Inner Defense for winter!

Are essential oils safe for kids?  Palo Santo from dead trees? Powerful Inner Defense for winter!
You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living group.  This is for educational purposes only, this is not a solicitation.  
If you live in Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin, we hope to see you at our next The Healthy Living Social Thursday, July 25th. Its always FREE to attend and is a wealth of health information.
This is a free monthly social event for those who seek to build community with others who look to continually learn how to stay healthy naturally!  
May was our kickoff gathering and was a great success!  June we had Heather from Refinity Wellness come and speak about EE  Frequency Therapy.   July is going to be filled with some amazing education and edible samples of how food is thy medicine.  The Healthy Living Social is a monthly social gathering to connect, grow and enjoy refreshments together. Located in Antioch, IL, just  minutes from the Wisconsin border!  
Grab your friends and mark your calendars for the last Thursday each month.  We will continue to bring in guest speakers and have lots of fun learning together.  We are collectively building a survival tip guide, sharing garden tips from new gardeners to experienced ones and enjoy a 20 minute health topic spotlight!  Each month we will have health book recommendations and local resources.  
Registration is free and requested, but if you have friends or family that can join you last minute, please just come and join us!

Do you know that just holding a cup of coffee, not even taking a sip, can lower your bodies frequency?  What is MY solution to that?  I drink my organic coffee in the morning and then I douse myself with oils to raise my frequency again!!  When you drink your coffee and don't use essential oils, your body can take up to three days to restore its frequency levels!
Did you know that Young Living Rose oil has a vibrational rate of 320 MHz?
The scale begins at zero; here, no energy is cycling and no signs of life are present. Frequencies can be separated into three ranges:
1. Low Frequency Oils that support physical ailments.
2. Mid Frequency Oils that promote emotional change.
3. High Frequency Oils that encourage spiritual growth.
What does that mean? Our bodies and brains resonate a  cohesive frequency.  Testing at Weber State University produced these results:
Human Brain 72-90 MHz
Human Body (day) 62-68 - (Optimal health)
Cold Symptoms 58
Flu Symptoms 57
Candida 55
Epstein Barr 52
Cancer 42
Death Begins 25
Fresh Herbs 20-27
Dry Herbs 12-22
Processed/canned/cooked food 0  (canned food has no life)
Essential Oils range from 52-320
Overhead lights, TV, microwave, cell phones and computers all have in-cohesive frequency which FRACTURES  our body’s energy system.
So if we want to increase our health on a mentally, physically or spiritual level; essential oils are vital. Nothing else we can apply topically or take internally can touch essential oils on the vibrational scale. Other tools such as meditation, prayer, EFT, also powerfully affect the vibrational rates. Combining these tools with oils creates a powerful synergy.
“Everything is alive, connected and changing, yielding its own life force. This flow of
energy can be quantified, typically measured in units called hertz. Named after Heinrich Hertz,
a German physicist who experimentally proved the existence of electromagnetic waves, hertz
(abbreviated Hz) can be defined as electrical energy transmitted as a series of cycles, equal to
one cycle per second.
How does this relate to vibrational frequency? Everything in nature vibrates. Vibration can
be defined as ‘a periodic motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium in alternately
opposite directions from the position of equilibrium when that equilibrium has been disturbed’.
Put simply, your body and everything in the environment are made up of trillions of tiny
molecules, all constantly cycling and moving, emitting a vibrational energy. As the cycle of
energy vibrates at a more frequent rate, the vibrational frequency raises.
The vibrational frequency of essential oils are measured in megahertz (abbreviated MHz),
which cycle at a rate much faster than electricity, equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.
The frequency of the oils we use is determined by heat of processing, pressure, time of harvest, genetic variety, altitude…so many variables.  Young Living not only meets, but exceeds AFNOR (French) and ISO (International) standards. Young Living owns the largest acreage of organic farms world wide. They reject 60% of the oils that are grown in our partner YL farms, as they don’t meet the AFNOR standards. Each plant has a specific healing vibration. If poorly grown or distilled, the oil resonates at a lower frequency, missing its full restorative potential. Essential oils in the US are governed by the perfume industry. The label can read “100% essential oil” and often is full of extenders or are chemically distilled. Do you know how your oils are produced?
Young Living has the most pure and highest grade oils because of the Seed to Seal Guarantee that we have and the quality and commitment that entails.  Every drop of  oil in the bottle you hold has all the constituents present because of the care and research that Young Living takes the time to do.
Love your oils!  Use them for health, life and restoration of the mind!
My advice for all the oilers out there has been to purchase your summer oils during the winter and purchase your winter oils during the summer to avoid out of stock issues and to make sure you are always prepared so when your family falls below the wellness line, you can start helping to boost the body immediately before the issue takes root.  Inner Defense is one of those products that I will never be without, all year long, but especially during the winter.  We always keep two bottles on hand for unexpected issues.


In times of need, let Inner Defense work overtime to support your body! Inner Defense is the perfect supplement to support your immune system during the winter months. This supplement is filled with powerful essential oils which help reinforce systemic defenses, create an environment that is unfriendly to yeast and fungus, and promote healthy respiratory function.  
Inner Defense contains potent essential oils such as Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, and Thieves. These oils are rich in thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol for immune support and work together to support you overall health and wellness in times of need. This supplement is packed with potent essential oils and we suggest taking it with food or something fatty like almond milk or almond butter. Essential oils are fat soluble and taking it with something fatty will make it sit better in sensitive stomachs. 
Take 1 softgel daily for support as recommended on the bottle or personally our family uses it only in times of wellness distress and then we take it  3–4 times daily (1 every few hours with a full meal) when your body is below the wellness line. The softgel capsule has been reformulated with fish gelatin to remove the need for carrageenan and beeswax.  For best results use Life 9 8 hours later.  If you have kids that are battling something,  or you struggle to take capsules, you can pop a hole in it and apply to the bottoms of the feet, even on littles, to help their little bodies fight.  
Palo Santo, great for cellular integrity, beautiful skin, emotionally calming, great for “knees and their cartilage” and anything that ails you!  It’s a powerhouse oil!! 
Palo Santo is an exotic essential oil single distilled by Gary Young at Finca Botánica Aromática, Young Living’s Ecuador farm. Palo Santo has a rich history of usage among Native Americans, who used it to purify and cleanse the spirit from
negative energy.  Palo Santo is a Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oil harvested in South America,
belonging to the same botanical family as Frankincense. Palo Santo has traditionally been known as a spiritual oil, and its name in Spanish literally means holy or sacred wood. For thousands of years the Incas used Palo Santo essential oil to purify and cleanse the spirit from negative energies. Only the branches and trunks that have fallen naturally are gathered; no living trees are cut or harvested.
Primary Benefits
+ Purifies and cleanses  from negative
energies.
+ The aroma supports meditation and deeper
concentration.
There is some incredible physical and emotional benefits, look it up in your desk reference!

Did you Know?
+ Palo Santo essential oil is rich in healthenhancing sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, alpha-pinene, and limonene.  (Limonene is almost unheard of in trees)
+ Palo Santo comes from the same family as Frankincense. Like Frankincense, Palo Santo is esteemed for its ability to uplift the mood.
+ Palo Santo wood matures over time, after the tree has died, developing a chemistry that makes a powerful essential oil. The same chemistry does not occur in cut branches or the wood of cut trees.
Enjoy this oil, it is incredible!

Got kids? Not only do we have oils for kids, dogs, cats, adults and teens, but we have oil infused supplements that are high quality and trusted sourcing for your littles.  

Mighty Pro Probiotics - these are not just for kids.  I use them when I travel because I don't have to refrigerate them.  They taste like eating a pixie stick even though they are sweetened with stevia, no sugar.  


Enzyme support is crucial for healthy digestion.  These not only work great, they taste great too! 


Do your children have trouble calming themselves?  Focusing?  Preparing to rest?  You are going to love this Unwind supplement! 


Everyone asks me, can you use pure essential oils on babies?  Kids?  Pets?  Yes, your essential oils are safe for your babies all the way through end of life!  Roll on with confidence!  (Yes, this is one of my beautiful grandbabies here)
Most of my grandbabies were brought into this world at their homes, and they were all oiled up immediately upon birth with Frankincense and a diffuser going in the room to help mama during labor! 
With all the toxic products that are on the market that are not safe for adults or children, use your oils with confidence that you are applying pure and unadulterated wellness on their skin and yours.
Do you know that if your essential oils get on your babies skin or even in their eyes, (or yours) you do NOT need to call poison control?  You can apply a drop of pure Olive oil in their eyes or put a quality carrier oil on their skin where the oil is and it will slow down the absorption and they will be as healthy as ever!  
Do you know that the leading BABY SHAMPOO is rated one of the most toxic on the market?  Yet its been the number one seller of baby shampoo and bath for YEARS....
Do you also know that the United States bans 11 chemicals from their makeup products.
Europe bans 1500 chemicals from their makeup products.
Young Living will not use over 2200 known chemicals in their makeup and skin care products.
We have a whole class in our Facebook page on how to use oils on kids and why!

For 30 years Young Living has had a Seed to Seal guarantee and that is why we are still Number 1.  We do not compromise for profit.

Tragedy to Joy! The hope after loss that restores the soul!

I was brought up believing in God. Not the Bible but God.  Although my mom would tell me after we would say prayers before bed “don’t pray for big things because God is too busy for that”. 

My Faith in God was  always surface level.  I felt condemned by him, I felt judged by him, never love but only anger.  

Fast forward to loosing two spouses by the age of 36!  I would make it through life after loss out of my own strength.  I questioned where God was in all of it. Why would he punish me like this?  I knew I wasn’t a perfect person but I thought I was a good person.  

I was pregnant with my youngest when my late husband died.  I couldn’t understand why God wanted me to be a single parent to even more children?  Why did he do this?  

Desperate one night when all the kids were asleep, I cried out to God to either take me or change my life.  I had it good in most people’s eyes even after loosing my husband. I lived in a nice house, I was able to stay at home with healthy kids, I had family and security.  But I was miserable inside.  Empty, lost and I didn’t understand why I could have be blessed so much but be so unhappy.  

Two days later, after crying out to God to take me, a friend asked me to go to her church.  I was taught growing up that if I went to another church other than the one I grew up in  that I would go to hell. At this moment, I felt like I was in my own personal mental hell so I decided to go.  People there were the opposite of the church I grew up in.  They were smiling, warm, welcoming and loving.  It all seemed weird but something inside said “your hearing truth” 

My life changed when I started to read the Bible and see what God said for myself instead of just living off of traditions of man taught to me as a child.  

God started to show, in very tangible ways, how much he cared about every little thing in my life, and every big thing too.   I could write a book on the things He did for me, now that I was listening, to see how much he loved me, despite my imperfections and lack of attention to him all my years of living. 

Little did I know how he was building my Faith to help me endure the thing I always said I could never endure.  The loss of a child.  Giving a son up for adoption when I was only 17 threw me into severe emotional turmoil that lasted for years.  Then to have another child taken from you, was the ultimate mental anguish.  

In 2007, on a beautiful Saturday morning, I awoke and spoke with my oldest daughter briefly.  Then I proceeded to make breakfast and go back to my room to read and pray for my kids.  After a time of praying, I went to my daughter’s room to find her tragically gone. I can’t describe the rest of that day because I don’t remember much.  Other than throwing my Bible at the police when they arrived.  This was the one thing I had always said I would never be able to survive.  Why God? Why? 

I was mad at God but also the work He had been doing in me had taught me that the number of days we have on this earth is only known by God and we cannot change that.   We don’t have the power. I had also learned and experienced and knew that God did not cause evil in this world but man does with his greed and pride and selfishness, at the root of all evil.  God allows, and uses bad things in our life to teach us and create a good work in us, he does not causes the bad.  Why would God allow, most of us would say, but He works in ways that man cannot understand and in hindsight, always for our benefit. Even in times of trial and deep loss,  God is helping us grow into the people he designed us to be.  

That day forever changed me. At the time I thought my kids would all be destined to be messed up adults, and I assumed I would never find joy again, and never experience happiness.  The worst had happened and I could not, at that moment, even imagine that I would ever find the good in this tragedy.  

It is true that we experienced years of heartache and pain for every holiday, anniversary, and tears whenever I would see a teenager.  I mourned so deeply, daily for my kids who not only lost their father but now two siblings that they were robbed of ever knowing.   The pain was deep but Gods grace and mercy for me took me on a journey of experiences that are beyond describable to show me that He was with me.  He put people in my life that would help us, comfort us, serve us and befriend us when we needed it.  

The Bible became my strength to understand Him more so I didn’t blame Him but saw more and more each day of how He was working things out for my benefit, so I would be a better mother and friend and Christian.   He taught me I could trust Him when I wanted to give up,  because He would give me the strength to go on.  He would help me raise my kids and show me that He would care for them even when I felt I wasn’t doing a great job.  

The most tragic of days slowly and beautifully started to get better.  The healing is slow.  The healing is hard.  The healing only comes truly when you allow God to be your source and not on your own strength.  

Years later in 2019, God blessed us by answering years of prayers to be united with the son I gave up for adoption when I was a teen.  It came about in the most unusual of ways but the kids were so excited to meet the brother they always heard of and I saw how God weaved this gift  into my life’s story that he is writing for me.  

I will never get to see Megan get married or have children or grow old, but I do get the joy and peace knowing that she loved Jesus too, and put  her trust in him and is safely in His arms where I will see her again.  

God has walked alongside me through the most horrific losses and yet He brings me peace that can come from nothing on this earth.  He is sovereign over all things, including our time here and He continues to work through every mistake I make, every prayer I pray, and I am so ever grateful that he is in charge and I am not.  His will and plans are perfect unlike mine.  💜

When you put your trust in Jesus, all things will become clear, all the pain will be used for your benefit and you will see the goodness of God in your life.  I guarantee it!

WISDOM FROM GARY YOUNG
Collected from lectures, recordings, and the D. Gary Young Blog
Why did I create this formula? The essential oils in Valor were used by the Roman soldiers before battle to promote courage during a time of physical and emotional challenges. All of us go through physical and emotional challenges. I made this blend in 1990 because at that time I was having a confrontation with the IRS, and I had to go to Seattle for the hearing. I was representing myself in court because I couldn’t afford an attorney. I was really scared. I’d never been in a court with the IRS before; this was a first experience.
I made Valor the night before, poured it in the tub, and then bathed in it. At that time I was living in Spokane where I had a little farm I was starting. I drove to Seattle, stayed in a motel, got up, went into the hearing that morning and presented my case. They made me feel like I was less than dirt. But I stood my ground and argued my points, and then I left. Two weeks later I got a certified letter in the mail announcing to me: Mr. Young, we’ve heard your case, we’ve reviewed it, we have accepted your presentation, and we have dropped our issues against you. So I won on all 42 counts. That was a big accomplishment for me. So, Valor became very, very dear to me and has been a very powerful oil blend ever since.
Valor is superb for balancing the body, for empowering.Blue tansy is in it. Frankincense so you can come from a spiritual space.
Valor at the bottom of the feet, up the spine. Valor balances physical, emotional and mentally. It facilitates everything else that you do, keeps you at peace and balance. Aligns the skeletal system.
VALOR BLOOD CELL RESPONSE
You will never look at applying Valor the same way ever again after watching this!

From Brokenness to Joy!

 
Welcome!  It is my pleasure to share my story with you and welcome you to the incredible world of Young Living Essential Oils.  
My family consists of myself and my children some of whom have already started their own families.  We started our oily journey about 14 years ago at a time in our life when we desperately needed some calm and Joy!  Have you ever been there?    A friend of mine had invited me to a class to learn about these oils and I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I just knew that my biggest need at the time was to calm some hurting hearts after some major emotional upsets in our home and family life.  Lots of loss and trauma left us with many emotional scars.  The first oil I was introduced to was the oil of "Joy" and it truly just changed the temperature in our home.  Kids were smiling more, laughing more and loosening up!  As a mom, I loved seeing those changes so I continued to investigate and dug in deep to researching all I could about Young Living  oils and the amazing benefits that they could have on our physical, emotional and spiritual well being!  We have never looked back!  I started sharing how these products were so life changing with everyone I could tell, because I wanted my friends and family to have the same results that I was having!  Who doesn't want to share the greatest deal on the pair of shoes you just bought, or the best food at the restaurant that just opened down the street?  We love to help our friends enjoy the great finds that we encounter in life and this is why your here!  Now, not only has our emotional health been improved but our financial health has  had a transformation as well.   I am excited to welcome you to this great  find that has changed my family's life forever!
