Introduction

Hello and welcome to my very first blog post! My husband and I are Independent Young Living Distributors and we have so much that we would like to share and tell the world.

First my husband is a full time self employed flooring installer, handy/maintenance man and all around good guy. He loves working with wood and building things, he has volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America and Convoy of Hope. They partnered together and built a crates for the trucks hauling life giving products to areas in need.

I am a stay at home wife and the mother of 5 grown children and 14 grandchildren (three with spouses) and one great granddaughter, 5 step great grandchildren and two step great great grandchildren. We have two black labs, Cinderella and Gracie who are our babies now and are as spoiled as can be.

We are God loving, Bible believing Christians and believe that God will call His people home very soon. We have our beliefs and we stand behind them 100%. You do not have to believe the way we do but please dont ask me to NOT praise the most wonderful God for allowing me to do what I do.

I got into Young Living for one reason only, that was because I was sick and I had tried everything else known to man and it did not work.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DOCTOR, I DO NOT TREAT, DIAGNOSE, CURE OR IN ANY WAY PROFESS THAT ESSENTIAL OILS ARE THE END ALL BE ALL. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL FOR MEDICAL ADVICE.

I am only sharing my story for the simple fact that I may help someone else.  I have Fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, arthritis, chronic fatigue, chronic insomnia, chronic low back pain due to bone on bone at my Sciatica joints. I have had brain damage from a severe sinus infection that went to my brain. So I function really well and I am coherent on just certain days, of which I have no control over. So I have to pick and chose wisely on the good days what I will do and do as much as I can.

I cannot take narcotic pain medicine, I have terrible reactions to it. So I have suffered with this pain for years, until I was introduced to YL by a lady I go to church with. I bought my kit and opened it up and thought to myself, "now what do I do"? I opened the bottle of peppermint and smelled the oil and put a drop in my hand and rubbed them together and cupped over my nose and breathed it in.

Peppermint is so invigorating. I used 4 of the oils that came in the kit one night for the pain in my shoulders and neck that had been there for at least 10 years. The next morning it was gone! It has been gone ever since. Now I did use those same oils every night for the next month but after that I started to forget to put them on and I havn't used them except maybe a handful of times since. that was February 28, 2015 when I applied them the first time.

I know how they have helped me and my husband and maybe they can help you too!
