Big Things

Howdy Friends,

I have been absent on this blog site for about 2-years now. 

2-years! 

I have been really busy being a mom, home-schooling my kids, tutoring at our home-school co-op.  Moving, getting closer to the Lord, and writing a book.  Yes, you read that correctly. 

I am finally writing a book.  It's my story about Guillain-Barre' Syndrome and being a survivor.  What God did during that traumatic and life altering time.  So stay tuned for that exciting news in the future.

Also, God has been doing some really BIG things around here.  Of coarse, whenever God starts moving the enemy of our souls begins throwing up road blocks too.  So I have decided to go ahead and start this blog back up to give God the G-L-O-R-Y in all of these situations.

This is just a fun, watch God work, kind of blog now.  There may be insights to glean, or just stories to read.  If you are so included to follow then feel free to sign up to receive my posts. 

Also, if you do a search you can find some of my old posts about nutrition, what to eat, what to avoid, recipes and more.  Essential oils, Guillain-Barre' and my kids all pop up in former post too, so feel free to browse. 

See you soon!
Natalie

Bettime Routine with Young Living

Hey Y'all,

We are incorporating a new bedtime routine (starting tonight), and I thought you might like to know about it too.  All of us fall asleep easily, and 4 out of the 5 of us stay asleep all night.  Well, 3 out of the 5 of us.  The one that wakes up also makes sure that I am awake too.  Why?  She wants to nurse...still...all-night-long.  Seriously!  She doesn't need it, and neither do I, so we are switching things up a bit. 

Normally, before bedtime everyone gets pajamas on, brushes their teeth with Thieves toothpaste, we diffuse Peace & Calming oil blend and after prayers and songs it is off to dream land.  Great huh?  But then, tiny tot wakes up in about 2 hours, then about 1-2 hours for the rest of the night.  Ugg. 

Guess what I ordered for my Essential Rewards order this month?  That's right, a new bedtime oil routine...well, an addition to our bedtime routine for tiny tot.  We are adding Sleepylze and maybe even Tranquil.  Yup, just a tiny bit of Sleepylze on the bottom of her big toe and on her chest just before bed. If I need an added oomph I will also do a tiny drop of Tranquil on the bottom of the big toe.  Pray for sweet dreams tonight, for all of us :)

Guillain-Barre' Syndrome

One question I get a lot is, "How did you get started with essential oils?" 

Well, there is an entire backstory on this, including being skeptical about these 'snake-oils', but in the long run the oils won me over and today my family can't get enough of them. 

At the age of 19 I had one of the worst cases of Guillain-Barre' Syndrome (GBS) that my neurological team had ever seen, so it is a miracle that I not only survived this fairly rare syndrome, but am fully healed today.  Actually, I should have died before I was even properly diagnosed.  Never heard of Guillain-Barre'?  Google it and find out for yourself.  If the symptom is listed I had it (except death; I am still alive today), and had it severely.  During that life-threatening (and life-altering) event, I made up my mind that prescription drugs, over the counter medications and toxin filled household chemicals would not be a normal part of my life anymore.  Sure, I would still go to the doctor and seek medical advice, and even take medications (when the need arose) but no more semi-regular usage of these things. 

So, now what?  Where could I turn?  What could I use?  Would my life now become filled with pain and illness along with a dirty house because of this shift in my thinking? 

No!  Not at all. 

Actually, it took a while for Young Living Essential Oils to find me (through a friend that shared their amazing health benefits).  I was skeptical, but couldn't deny that the first several times I used them, they worked.  And they worked fast!  They did what they were suppose to do.  Not only that, but they worked amazingly well against the horrific sensations that (even years later) GBS left me fighting against.  Even after all of these positive experiences I still did not jump on the Young Living Oil train yet.  Nope.  Not yet.

So, what changed? 

My husband and I were expecting our first child.  *GASP*  It took another little life, a baby to make me take a closer look at the oils.  After all, I was no longer using over the counter solutions for my household, so I needed to use something safe and natural as a first line of defense.  I needed something I could use on this precious, new life growing inside me.  Something that was non-toxic, safe and maybe even ordained by God.  This is when my study and research of the oils really began.  I studied, went to home parties, read books, looked in the Bible, prayed, and tested the oils out even more than I had already experienced them.  Then, 3 months before my first baby was born, my mom gifted me with a Young Living Starter Kit and Membership.  I dove in head first, and now, more than 7 years later, my family of 5 uses Young Living Oils and oil infused products every single day!  We are healthy, happy and strong moving toward a life of abundance. 

Now I look forward to 'sharing the health' with you and your family too.  You don't have to be sick to enjoy Young Living; I find these products to be great building blocks in our every day life (just like faith, diet and exercise). 

So this is a short and sweet version of how Young Living Oils have become a daily part of my life.  Comment below on how you discovered Young Living.  Are you using them today?  What do you love about them?

Feelings Kit Part 7 - Inner Child

Today we will talk about the fifth oil applied in the Feelings Kit: Inner Child

 

Inner Child oil blend contains: Orange (Citrus aurantium), tangerine (Citrus nobilis), jasmine (Jasminum officinale), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), spruce (Picea mariana), sandalwood (Santalum album), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), and neroli (Citrus aurantium).

 

When using this kit it is suggested that the Inner Child oil blend is applied just under your nose as Step 6, followed by a second application of Valor to complete the Feelings Kit.  Here is what the Young Living website has to say about this blend: Inner Child™ opens the pathway to connecting with the inner self that may have been damaged through childhood misuse or abuse. When children have been abused, they become disconnected from their natural identity, or inner child. This causes confusion and can contribute to undesirable personality traits. The sweet fragrance of this blend may stimulate memory response and help reconnect with the authentic self, which is one of the first steps toward finding emotional balance.

Feelings Kit Part 6 - Release

Today we will talk about the fifth oil applied in the Feelings Kit: Release

 

Release oil blend contains: Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida), geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), sandalwood (Santalum album) and blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) in a base of olive oil.

 

When using this kit it is suggested that the Release oil blend is applied over the liver as Step 5.  Here is what the Young Living website has to say about this blend: Release™ combines uplifting, calming oils that stimulate a sense of peace and emotional well-being, which in turn facilitate the ability to release anger and frustration. Repressed negative emotions lie at the root of many health concerns. Release promotes harmony and balance in the mind and body.

Feelings Kit Part 5 - Present Time

Today we will talk about the fourth oil applied in the Feelings Kit: Present Time

Present Time oil blend contains: Neroli (Citrus aurantium), spruce (Picea mariana) and ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) in a base of almond oil.

When using this kit it is suggested that the Present Time oil blend is applied to the wrists and behind the ears as Step 4.  Here is what the Young Living website has to say about this blend: Present Time™ has an empowering fragrance that heightens the sense of being "in the moment." Concentrating on the past can be counterproductive. You can go forward and progress when you focus on the present time.

Feelings Kit Part 4 - Forgiveness

Today we will talk about the third oil applied in the Feelings Kit: Forgiveness

 

Yes, I said forgiveness!  This is a big one, and it can often be a difficult step to process.  Be honest with yourself, and if possible, don't block what the Lord brings to you.  Tears (if you need to shed them) can be cleansing.

 

Forgiveness oil blend contains: Melissa, geranium, frankincense, rosewood, sandalwood, angelica, lavender, lemon, jasmine, Roman chamomile, bergamot, ylang ylang, palmarosa, helichrysum, and rose in a base of sesame seed oil.  Wow! What an amazing list of oils!

 

When using this kit it is suggested that the Forgiveness oil is applied to the belly button (navel) as Step 3.  Here is what the Young Living website has to say about this blend: Forgiveness™ contains a synergistic blend of soothing and uplifting essential oils that may enhance the ability to release hurtful memories and move beyond emotional barriers. The process of growth can only proceed when we have the ability to forgive and let go of negative emotions.
