I posted this on my personal page but also wanted to share this here. This occurred on September 17th. I have always tried to set an example for others. I'm filled with gratitude when I get to help others advocate for themselves and improve their wellness through conventional and complementary modalities.

Today, I had the honor of working with veterans when I was invited by the Iron Mountain VA Medical Center to be a guest speaker for their Pain Management Clinic.

This was something totally outside of my comfort zone, but it was so rewarding working with other veterans, hearing their stories, and then giving my pain journey and how I have learned to coexist with my pain using both conventional and complementary modalities.
I enjoyed teaching them about how to think about their pain. I was happy with the discussions had, honored that they felt comfortable enough to share their personal stories and proud that I was able to show them, they are not alone.

When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, one of the first things I said is "God chose me to have Parkinsons for a reason." I didn't know why as no one in our family has such a disease. Today, I hope I fulfilled the "why" He chose me.

Are you someone who suffers from chronic pain? I am and, in my health and wellness journey, I have been through haddies and back. However, what I have learned over the years, is that there are some things I can do to help mitigate the intense pain flare-up and find a way to coexist with my pain.

As someone who has Parkinson's Disease, this is a very real, in your face pain I have learned to deal with - coexist. For almost 7 years, I suffered through the pain, was on copious amounts of drugs and narcotics to the point where I couldn't function.

Along came my oils which helped/helps me in so many amazing ways, and secondly, it took a doctor telling me my pain wasn't real and that I was in essence faking it to say, "enough is enough."

For myself, I established this triad of health treatment which involved physical (the pain itself), mental, and emotional approaches. I hope to delve into these on a more regular basis. If this is something you may be interested in, reach out to me. I hope in sharing my journey, you can find tools and ways to help yourself. 💜

I don't know about you, but I totally love diffusing during the Fall. There are so many wonderful scents you can replicate naturally by mixing certain oils together. Not only can you make diffusing blends, but you can also take these blends and make your own room sprays - without the harsh harmful chemicals.

There are also other benefits. For example, that this months Free product - On Guard Protective Blend. This blend helps to promote a healthy immune response. Diffuse and inhale the spicy sent of On Guard and you may have just helped to ward off the Fall or back to school crud. And when you diffuse with oils know to help kill bacteria and germs, those to can aid the body in achieving a healthy immune response.

Try diffusing today! Stay tuned for more Fall Diffusing Blend. Interested in trying any of the blends posted? Then let me know.

Want to make your own Fall-scented handwashing liquid that not only smells amazing, but also, fights against germs and bacteria, while softening the skin?

I find most commercial handwashes to be harsh and drying to skin. While they say they soften they really don't. Mainly due to the chemicals they use in the process of making the product. I challenge you to take a look at any of the big store handwashes and you will see, they are loaded with chemicals.

By making my own handwashing liquid (or foam), you know exactly what you are putting on your skin, and you can regulate the intensity of the smell by adjusting the drops of essential oils.

Here, I used natural Castile Soap, Vegetable Glycerin (softens the skin naturally), 25 drops of Harvest Spice Gathering Blend and 25 drops of On Guard Protective Blend.

I filled my bottle about 1/2 (a little less) with the Castile Soap.

I added about 2 tablespoons (I don't measure) of the vegetable glycerin.

I added the drops of essential oils and then filled to the top with water*. Leave a small gap at the top to shake and mix all the ingredients.

That's it! So simple, yet so effective. All natural ingredients. No harsh preservatives, no harsh chemicals.

*Now some will say use distilled water; however, I disagree with that. Essential oils adhere to the minerals in the water more effectively if it is not distilled.

I have long pontificated the importance of understanding where your essential oils come from. Are those oils from trusted sources? Do they maintain their potency and do they provide consistent outcomes.

doTERRA is the only essential oil company that has worked hard to make this happen. The other big essential oil companies can't even compare to doTERRA.

It may be hot outside, but the smells of Fall will be here before you know it. Get a jump on Fall scents by diffusing Harvest Spice Gathering Blend.

Cassia, the primary oil in this blend is similar to Cinnamon Bark but is not as pungent or overwhelming. Another Fun Fact about Cassia - it is one of a few oils (besides Frankincense and Myrrh) that is mentioned in the Old Testament.

Today, I was feeling a little spicy, so decided to diffuse Vanilla Chai Spiced Blend. To my diffuser, I also added a few drops of Madagascar Vanilla to highlight that feature of the oil. Loving this blend!!

(There is a correction in the Fun Fact Section....It should read 3 drops of Madagascar Vanilla NOT Vanilla Chai.)
