If you know me well, you know I love to be helpful. If you know me well, you know I care about the well being of others, sometimes to my own detriment. If you know me well, you know I think WAY too much. If you know me well, you know I will research topics I am passionate about, at lengths, sometimes in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping, but my overthinking, anxious brain has other ideas.......There is a point here, bare with me. So here are some choices I have made, for my family, based on said overthinking and late nights of research: We homeschool, we free range a small flock of entertaining chickens, we eat as organically as our budget will allow, we use doTERRA essential oils. These are choices that we are happy with. These are choices that are right for our family. This doesn't mean I will shove them down your throat or judge you for not doing the same. There is a lot to learn from our differences. So, here is where I am going with this. 1) I think you too might be very entertained by a small flock of backyard chickens, whether you get your own or visit someone else's. 2) Thanks to my new love for essential oils I can now maintain healthy sleep patterns, and I have support for the well being of my family. 3) Eat what you want it is your life, just maybe give your food a little more thought. You may learn something beneficial?? With regard to my essential oils adventure, my number one goal is to help. I am 99.9% sure you would be impressed by these little bottles of plant love. I happened to start this adventure while living on a remote island with a population of 55. So, 9 months in, I really can't say I have turned a profit on this business adventure. Do I plan to? Yes. Is that my number 1 goal? A resounding NO. I hope to empower others with knowledge to support their own well being. When I finally make it to a place of profit, my joy will come from knowing that I have helped others. Here's the other piece of my reasoning. I have opted to be a stay at home, homeschooling mother, wife of a fisherman, in place of seeking a career with my Bachelor's degree. So, if I can find an alternate income source, sharing something I am passionate about, helping others all the while, then why not? So, if I mention the oils to you, I am not coming at you with $$ signs in my eyes, I genuinely believe I can help. I will not push them at you. I will gently share them and my knowledge and leave you to decide for yourself. Just know this, if I didn't believe in these oils, I would not use them for my children. I protect them like a fierce wild animal.
Blessings to you.
