Curveball - Big Changes & New Stages


I am a 47-year-old woman with 2 grown children in college and one half-way through high school. My husband is about 10 years from retirement. We are in the settled down and settled in stage of life.  I have ministries I love and a rewarding part-time job where I feel like I make a difference. I would say content pretty well sums up life for us.

 Well, things are about to change and change fast! This summer began with a fast trip to move the college kids out of the dorm and home for a short 2 months, before settling them in their apartment back at school. One college daughter didn't even come home but left immediately for a 2 week trip to the east coast with one of her classes. 

Now we are prepping our home of 6 years in a community we have lived in for over 17 years to move to a new state! How did this happen? I have lived in the state of Oklahoma for 41 years!

 Can I tell you God began preparing our hearts last year? It is amazing how he does things. I would say a slight restlessness began to niggle at me and my husband. We thought we needed to travel, maybe get involved in a new ministry. We prayed and waited. My son, the only child left at home also began to feel it. Now, this is crazy to me. A few months later my husband was presented with a chance to move to a new state with his job. He came home and asked me what I thought. I thought - why not? We know it is not forever. Probably only a few years before another move to another state, and then retirement. We can go anywhere we please then! 

 We talked with all of our children and they were positive and excited! So here we go. He starts in just a few weeks! The house goes on the market this week, hopefully. We start house hunting in a new community. I brush up on homeschool regulations in a new state. Oh, and my adventure kid that was only home for 3 weeks and is flying to Hong Kong today! She will be gone for 5 weeks, and we may move in that time! You can follow her blog (BeretMerry) and Instagram for fashion, travel, books, and sassiness. 

 The way our stories are written is amazing to me. You can expect more posts on our new journey along with essential oils, sewing and who knows?

 I am very excited about all the NEW happening, but I have cried my eyes out for the souls we love and leave here. I am very sad to leave my students and church family, they have blessed me beyond measure. Oklahoma will always be home. 💚

 Sniffing Stress Away and Valor... 
Thankful I can do my oily thing from anywhere!

Raindrop Roller

Image
Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Thyroid Support & Young Living

Image
I did a post for my private Facebook group recently on Thyroid support. That little thyroid sure does affect every part of our bodies! I personally have Hashimoto Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It is hereditary for me and we have many generations with hypothyroidism on my mother's side of the family.  There are many supplements that support the thyroid, but I am going to highlight my personal top 4. 1)Endoflex - supports the entire endocrine system. Apply over the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, vitaflex on feet, can be ingested and diffused. I apply to my thyroid and adrenals (kidney area on my back) morning and night.  2)Sulfurzyme - this is a capsule, I take 1-2 in the morning and night. This supports the entire body, helps the immune system, and joints (includi ng my back!)  3)Thyromin - Another capsule, I take two at night. Developed by Gary Young who no longer has a thyroid. This does not force thyroid to certain levels, it supports

My Version of the Aroma Lift Massage

Image
Be Kind. I know I am not a super model. I simply don't know of a better way to explain the massage than to show you.  So here it is.  What's the big deal? For me it is an overall smooth youthful appearance. I'm less puffy and my skin seems brighter and tighter. But the biggest thing I have noticed is how it helps with the stiffness I would feel in the back of my neck and along my clavicle. When I feel congested or the beginning of a sinus headache this really helps too!  More info below the video. Remember be gentle! We want to reduce fine lines and heavy handed pulling will be counterproductive. :)  I'm using the Aroma Life blend from Young Living.  I put it in a little roller bottle to make it easier to apply.  This is a great blend to use for any lymphatic massage you may want to try. I have used it to support my lymph system when I had some swelling in my ankles too! Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), marjoram (Origanum majorana), Helichrysum
