As an individual I love to get lost in a good book, especially Biblical books, Christian fiction, and prophecy. I LOVE the great outdoors and could go hiking or fishing all day long, but probably prefer swinging in my hammock or laying on the beach. We live in what I like to call the 'half-country' where we have room to grow a garden in our backyard. I have always had a passion for science and seeing the connections of that science and biology makes to our Lord. I could talk about God's amazing goodness All Day Long!
As a mother I have enjoyed homebirth, cloth diapering, nursing, using baby slings, making homemade baby food, and homeschooling! Our life at home is a continual learning and growing process that we get to explore together.
My journey of life began when I was born, but my journey to health truly began when I survived Guillain-Barre' syndrome and even more when I had my own children.
I would like to take just a moment to share my story about how my family and I got started with Young Living Essential Oils.
At the age of 19 I found myself in a very unexpected battle for my life, and that experience has helped to take me on a journey to health and wellness. Young Living is just one of the God given gifts I have found along that path, and I am so grateful to have the oils today.
What happened? Well, at the age of 19, I woke up one morning paralyzed; completely unable to move. My health quickly spiraled downhill, and by the time I was finally properly diagnosed with Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome, I had lost almost 30 pounds I didn't need to lose and was in a wheelchair. Although I did not have the oils until the end of the healing process from that battle, God DID heal me completely, and today I am a strong and healthy person.
Even though I was supposedly ‘healthy’ before that journey; the syndrome and healing process did take me on a quest to find ways to build up my body, remove toxins from my life, and to seek God in every situation.
Later, as my husband and I found ourselves expecting our first child, we wanted to give her the best start to life we could, and in my opinion that meant eliminating as many toxins from our home as possible. I had just been introduced to Young Living Essential Oils not long before my pregnancy, and had personal success with them. When a family friend gave me some specific baby targeted sample oils and the Gentle Babies book by Debra Raybern as a baby shower gift I devoured the book and found a home party as fast as I could in order to learn more. I bought a starter kit that day, and have never looked back in using the oils not only to aid in my personal heath, but also for my entire family.
Today even the kids know what oils to use when!
We live a life full of joy and abundance, thanks to the Lord.

Is this blog still up?
ReplyDeleteWould you please add a pin it button? I find your bug bite post a stress and discomfort saver for my little girl!

Hey Cyria, Yes, this blog is still up, but I go through waves of posting and not doing anything. It is more for fun and sharing info than anything else. At the bottom of each blog post you will see a small grey strip that contains a pencil icon. To the right of the pencil icon and to the left of the G+1 icon you will see the small p with a circle around it. It is grey in color, but that is the pinterest icon. It should work, so let me know if you have any trouble using it.
DeleteHi Natalie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Beth and I use YLEO. I found your blog by googling GBS and flu vaccine. I got the flu vaccine Oct. 31st of this year and I have been feeling wiped out and weak ever since. I've never had that reaction before, but I started researching and was alarmed to see you can get GBS from the flu vaccine! I don't know that I have GBS, but my reaction seems similar to people that felt the same way I do and then it progressed to GBS. You can see why I am concerned. I know it's not a coincidence. I know my body. I am trying to find out what oils you took and what I can do to help myself feel better and have energy again. I also ordered some Vitality C recommended to me by my Sister-in-law who gets it from her naturopath. It can't hurt but the big Guide book from YL doesn't have anything for GBS so I was hoping that you might be willing to share your insight with me. I know you can't make any claims per FDA. I just want to find out what helped you :) Please contact me. My email is: bc23scott@gmail.com
Thank you so much! I would greatly appreciate your help.
Hi Cyria, Congratulations on your recovery and wellness journey using EO and other infused products.
ReplyDeleteI have just been asked by a friend for any recommendations to help a friend of hers with Guillain Barre. My first thought is always Essential oils and so I located your post here. Can you please share with me what oils you used so I can offer them as suggestions to my friend. I truly love that mother nature provided us with these natural remedies and am saddened that modern medicine is doing its best to stop us from using them.
With love and light, Annie Brown
