As we enter January, I want to leave you with some wisdom that I have learned over the years. January is known as the month to restart and dream new goals for the new year. We all start off with resolutions, usually ones that are mighty and not sustainable. After struggling with this same thing myself each year, I came across this book years ago and it made such a big difference in my life. Seeing how these small little pieces of time help us build consistent habits. Just like using your oils, eating healthy, moving your body in some way daily, choosing healthy habits, it all boils down to "consistency matters" and consistency is always what will bring about change. This book is a great place to start, having you spend 10 minutes each morning on 6 different areas of life to bring improvement in your physical body, spiritual and mental well being. If your having trouble sleeping, relaxing, staying focused, enjoying each day, this is a great book to get you started. I have always wanted to journal to leave my kids my thoughts and prayers, but I always feel like I have to journal for an hour daily and not making the time to do that. This book encouraged me to just do it for 10 minutes daily and after forming a good habit, if I had more time I could journal more, but if not, there is progress in doing it just 10 minutes. I hope this blesses you.

About 10 years ago, my mom started to work out consistently for an hour each day, all from a chair when she was 88 years old. She never went to the doctor and used all natural methods her entire life but at the age of 88 her legs were swollen so we took her to urgent care. She had fluid built up on her legs and had to have them drained. The doctor told her she had heart failure and had a year to live. My mom, in good fashion, defied the doctors and read every natural book about heart health she could and made sure to eat heart healthy foods, and started to exercise consistently. She would wake up at 4:30 a.m. each day when the chair exercise lady came on her tv. She became stronger all from stretching daily from her chair. She didn't do cardio, she didn't lift weights or run a marathon, she simply did what she could do daily from her kitchen chair but did it daily. She lived another 6 years and did not pass away from a weak heart. I hope this encourages you to know its never too late to start and see results!

Did you know that 1 pack of Ningxia Red = 420g of fresh NingXia Wolfberries ? 
What? 420 grams?
Yes! It's made from 420g of fresh goji berries!
This is the information we got from our partner farm in NingXia Province in China, where it is the only wolfberries in the world that is considered as Superfoods ! (Wolfberries grown outside of NingXia Province aren’t considered as Superfoods by the FDA nor the Chinese Ministry of Health) I also looked thru my old notes from Gary and he said each pack has 1 lb (454g) of wolfberries.
Do you know how much one pound (454g) of fresh goji berries is? Imagine the blueberries you usually buy at the supermarket, typically 120-200g per box. Would you eat two boxes at once? Or maybe four boxes?
It’s nearly impossible for you to eat 100-150g of dried wolfberries a day (which is the same number of wolfberries if they were fresh). And how much do you pay for a pack of 100g Organic Dried Wolfberries from the health food store ? Wayyyy more than you pay for a pack of NingXia Red.
One packet of Ningxia Red contains 420g of fresh goji berries ~~ How do they fit 420g of goji berries into a 60ml packet?
And on top of that, they add blueberry, Aronia berry (the berry with the highest antioxidant value), pomegranate, black cherry, plum juice concentrate, and four different citrus essential oils to increase the limonene content – a liver-protective element and antioxidant booster, helping your liver makes more glutathione !! First, the goji berries are pureed and water is removed with patented centrifuge technology (fresh goji berries are 80% water).
Could you eat that much just in one go ?
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, all parts of the goji berry plant, including the leaves, peel, seeds, and pulp, are rich in nutrients. They contain abundant carotene, lycium barbarum polysaccharides, betaine, fatty acids, proteins and peptides, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, 18 amino acids (8 essential amino acids), and trace elements like calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, manganese, phosphorus, etc.
To completely preserve the nutrients of the whole goji berry and avoid nutrient loss during the juicing process, YL (Young Living) adheres to its "Seed to Seal®" commitment, utilizing three major patented technologies in the production of Ningxia Red:
*Low-Temperature Sterilization: It turns out that when temperatures exceed 100°C, some of the goji berry's nutritional components are destroyed by the heat! YL controls the sterilization temperature around 85°C, ensuring effective sterilization while not damaging the precious nutrients of the goji berry.
*Ambient Temperature Preservation: After sterilization, the goji berry puree is stored at around 30°C (ambient temperature) to completely preserve its active components.
*High-Pressure Cell Wall Disruption: The peel, pulp, and seeds of the whole fresh goji berries are refined into a puree, increasing the human absorption rate to 90%.
When it comes to goji berries, many people naturally think of eye health, thanks to the key nutritional components in goji berries—zeaxanthin and lutein. The macula in the center of the retina is responsible for the clearest vision, color discrimination, and image reception. Zeaxanthin, concentrated in the macula, can reduce damage from harmful blue light and UV rays, protect macular health, delay vision deterioration, and reduce eye muscle fatigue.
The human body needs about 2mg of zeaxanthin daily, but there aren't many food choices containing this component. Besides goji berries, foods relatively high in zeaxanthin are red chili peppers and bell peppers. Could you eat 10-15 red chili peppers or 2-4 bell peppers every day? People generally don't eat very spicy food, so goji berries, rich in zeaxanthin, are your best choice!
Another important nutritional component in goji berries is Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP), which are crucial for maintaining a healthy gut environment. One way external substances enter the body is through intestinal absorption. Therefore, besides being responsible for digesting food nutrients, the intestines must also block harmful external substances from invading the body. Healthy intestinal cells are tightly arranged, able to block bacteria, allergens, or toxins from entering the intestines. Conversely, unhealthy intestinal cells develop gaps between them, leading to the leakage of harmful substances, which can easily trigger inflammation and indigestion.
Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides help maintain the balance of intestinal flora and promote the production of short-chain fatty acids. Short-chain fatty acids are nutrients needed by intestinal cells. They keep intestinal cells plump and tightly arranged, building a strong barrier to prevent harmful external substances from invading and affecting bodily health.
YL meticulously selects fresh, high-quality Ningxia goji berries, concentrating their nutritional value into every drop of Ningxia Red, making it the first line of defense for your body's health. Ningxia Red also adds various "superfruits" and citrus essential oils containing natural limonene, enhancing the taste and flavor, making the nutrition more comprehensive and rich, and bioavailable while providing powerful antioxidant benefits.

Raindrop - We will be hosting a local Raindrop Class in March, stay tuned for the Invite!
Have you tried a Young Living Raindrop Technique yet? Let me know if you have tried it and if you love it!
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 a dvd and paper instructions on how to do it. My daughter would lay us on the floor or bed and apply the oils while she followed the dvd. 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 and the information about the oils and what they do in the body is worth watching every minute of it. Here is Video One to check out: https://youtu.be/V66wbgHNUY8?si=BEBAIPldISj9Ozp
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 (lengthened) after just one session! Yeah!
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.
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.
And many more!

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!
Alkalime is another great product! Do you struggle with heartburn? I have never had heartburn until the last year when I eat tomatoes which I adore and grow hundreds of them. It is impossible for me not to eat them so I started taking Alkalime and BAM, the burn is gone within minutes of taking it Do you need to balance your PH? Alkalime comes in powder and It also comes in handy single packets for once a day use or easy travel.
I never leave home without this baby. These little travel packets make it very convenient to stay healthy! AlkaLime is very much like an electrolyte drink minus ALL the sugar that you see in so many other drinks
Little fun fact for you ... Did you know that the 7 major electrolytes your body needs are sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonate?
What’s the big deal about electrolytes?
They are essential minerals in your body that are necessary for nerve and muscle function, the body-fluid balance and other critical processes. The balance of electrolytes is constantly shifting due to fluctuating fluid levels in your body. For example, when you sweat as a result of exercise, hot weather or illness, some electrolyte levels may be low. You must replenish these fluids and electrolytes in order to prevent dehydration. Many people with an imbalance also experience muscle spasms and leg cramping, especially at night!
Is this speaking to anyone??
In walks ALKALIME!!
Simply add a teaspoon of the powder into 4–6 ounces of water, mix thoroughly and drink immediately.
Here’s what this jewel is loaded with:
Calcium
Sodium
Potassium 
Magnesium
Lemon fruit powder
Lemon essential oil
Lime essential oil
Tartaric acid
Citric acid
Stevia leaf extractSo why do I take this every day EVEN when I travel?
AlkaLime regulates acid in the digestive system and stabilizes pH levels in the body.
Why does your pH levels get out of whack? Because life is full of emotions and food!
Make sure you just add a tiny bit of water at first or use a tall glass when stirring this up or else you might experience an AlkaLime volcano! Be ready to sip quickly!
“No disease can exist in an alkaline environment” - Dr. Otto Warburg, 1931 Nobel Prize winner
If your goal this year is to get better sleep, turn off your cell phone two hours before bedtime and leave it in the hallway and pick one oil to apply or diffuse nightly and see how much improvement you see. I guarantee it. Orange, Cedarwood and Lavender are the most inexpensive sleep oils to start with! You will love your new "consistent' routine!
Do you need to work on your emotional state of mind? This past year I was in such a funk. Exhausted from all that is going on in the world. I started out 2025 with the oil "Transformation" because I just felt stuck. I used it daily, on the back of my neck like perfume and saw such a dramatic shift in my thinking. Have your tried Motivation? Harmony? Forgiveness? We have many oils used for those stuck emotional patterns we get into. Pick one and use it daily until the bottle is gone. Email me the changes you see and I will send you a free gift! Really, they work!!!
