I hope you find out just how great these Young Living Essential Oils are and how they can be used to enhance your health and your life as they have done mine. Let me introduce myself a little more personally. I am a happily married wife, a mother of five children, plus one adopted, and seven stepchildren. Together, my husband and I have 19 grandchildren and four great grandchildren, plus one on th
e way. We are a happy blended bunch! I was born in Morgan City, LA, and was raised in Berwick, Lafayette, Vermilion Parish, then back to Lafayette where I feel at home! I am a Southern Cajun Girl at heart, for sure. There is no other place like south Louisiana, and if you are from here, you know why! If you are not, you should stop right now and plan a visit. We will treat you right and show you a 'bon temps'! That's Cajun French for 'a good time'! My professional background started in my early teens as I worked for my stepfather's insurance and tax agency. That first job gave me the introduction to being a servant all the while providing professional assistance, too. A love for clerical work was born from that sense of accomplishment each time I was able to complete a project and hear, "Well done. I also pursued a love for photography at a young age and worked as a newspaper photographer/reporter and moonlighted as a wedding photographer for my closest friends. Later, I attended school and received an Associates Degree in Office Occupations. From there, I worked and worked, sometimes three jobs at once - until I met my husband, Gale. His profession provided a short season for me to being able to focus on my talents as a stay at home mom and Domestic Engineer. Then, one day he called and said, "Honey, can you find us some office space. We are starting a business!" Switching hats again, I helped to launch a dream come true for him. It's been a wild, but satisfying ride ever since. That was almost eight (8) years ago. "Why did you get involved with Young Living Essential Oils?"
I was first introduced to these oils by my brother, a homeopathic doctor, massage therapist and body worker. He suggested to my husband to try some of the products to possibly help with diabetes. We considered it, but there was no fire setting in on my husband about the idea. I asked my brother which oil he would recommend if I were to only try ONE bottle. Without hesitation, he said, "Thieves". So I ordered a bottle. The rest is history! I had no idea how that bottle would lead to a life changing event about two years later. I felt myself getting sick. I was really run down, working 15 hour days and my body and immune system was definitely feeling it. Out of the blue, I remembered that bottle kept in my bedside table. I reached for it, put a few drops in a glass of water and drank it down. The next day, I recalled seeing a few Facebook posts about Young Living Essential Oils so I contacted that FB friend and asked her, "I only have Thieves! I'm really sick! I've been drinking it, but is there anything else I can do?" She suggested I rub a drop or two on the bottoms of my feet a few times a day and I did. I was up and out of that bed the very next day and was amazed at how much better I felt...only using a few drops out of that bottle of oil. I called her back and asked her how to sign up! Stewardship is very important to me and I knew it was going to save me money to become a wholesale paying 'member' instead of a retail paying 'customer'. I wanted to learn about and use more of these amazing oils that are harvested from the leaves and trees and fruits provided by our Creator. That is how our journey to wellness began. I've only just begun to learn, and feel like a sponge that keeps growing and growing! The more I learn, the more I want to learn and absorb, and now share about all that these amazing healing oils can do for me, my family and YOU and your family. Not long after I signed up, my husband fell out on a project in the snows of Michigan. His prosthesis broke and he landed on his stump - causing a severe injury. He is not taken down that easy, so he donned an old spare leg and finished the project. When he came home two months later, he was in bad shape. It had worn a sore on his leg and I could see the pain in his face with every step he took. He is also diabetic, so the sore was not healing very well. He had been soaking it in epsom salt and applying antibiotic oil every day for five weeks and it was not helping at all. I grabbed my Essential Oil Reference Guide and went to researching, finding a suggestion of using Frankincense and Myrrh Oils. He was now confined to a wheelchair and/or crutches, miserable and willing to try anything. We applied a drop of each, three times a day and in 10 days - that ugly quarter-sized abscessed looking sore was reduced to the size of a freckle!!! Even the color of the skin on that leg changed. It's like it came back to life. We were both amazed and he became a sold out believer in the powerful healing properties in these YLEO's. So, for us - seeing was believing. We are now using many oils in our everyday lives and get excited with each time they accomplish what we intended. Please consider letting us share this gift with you.
