ESSENTIAL OILS – MY WHY
My journey with essential oils started after several years of being a nurse. There were stressful days and restless nights, a longtime affair with headaches and tension, and a lot of anxiety. My husband and I are frugal fannies, so my idea of essential oils were anything that were cheap and easy to get my hands on.
So I hopped on Amazon and ordered my first oils and diffuser and thought they would be the solution to all my problems! I barely used those oils when they came in. They did nothing and I was convinced essential oils were a hoax.
A year later I was sitting on a couch with a good friend who had a passion for Young Living and for wellness. I had a horrible headache that day and she lovingly pulled out her holy bag of goodness and let me try her oils. I felt better in minutes! I had used other oils before, the only difference was that Young Living produced remarkable results. We continued to talk and I tried a few more oils and I was hooked, in LOVE, could not get enough!
At the same time, Zach and I had moved home to Texas from a travel nurse assignment in Memphis. I was really struggling with our next step. We knew God was leading us in a new direction but we were definitely seeking clarity. I had really been feeling that He was calling me to be faithful and trust Him in something that may be challenging.
So here I was, on a couch, listening to my friend talk about these oils that I was already in love with. Then, I kid you not, she told me about the most beautiful business I’d been waiting to be apart of. It would allow me to help others by finding out what needs they have and simply sharing essential oils with them. It was also an opportunity for the time freedom I was so desperate for. The opportunity to travel and pursue the creative things Zach and I so desired to do. The opportunity to be apart of a community and control my schedule. I think I had to scoop my jaw up off the floor, I was so overwhelmed by it all and one hundred percent invested.
As time goes on we have continued to learn and switch the things in our home and we are thankful for Young Living. Even Zach loves the products! Don’t count your husbands out ladies! We truly believe once people learn and truly experience Young Living for themselves, they will never go back. Organic should not just be for a stereotype. Why should we wash our dishes, floors, and clothes with products that warrant a visit to the ER if ingested? We have been trained as Americans to believe that it’s the norm to bring cleaners and household products into our home that could hurt us if we misuse them. Why do we spend so much time and money taking care of our outsides and not our insides? Why do we discount our emotions or our hormones?
I’ve learned a lot about passion through Young Living. Every person has passion somewhere deep down inside of them begging to burst out. Are you passionate about a healthy home for your family? Are you passionate about wellness for your kids? Are you passionate about time freedom or flexibility? Oils promote a lifestyle change; in your home, in your careers, in your life. Young Living is empowering people to take back our generation and that’s a cause I can stand behind.
I hope you’ll join us!
Love,
