Since my brother passed away determination and achievement have been a primary focus. I was pretty down the last time I wrote a blog post. Not pretty but REALLY down. I still have moments of sadness but over the past few months I have been healing and achieving and I am determined to keep on living life to the fullest...achieving peace, personal strength, setting goals and building up to achieving my dreams.
I believe a big part of that has been achieved through my use of essential oils. I have been using them since March. I actually got introduced to my essential oil company looking for an alternative for Brian since he wasn't able to do chemo anymore and could only consume liquids. I wish I would have known back then what I know now. I was just starting out so I can't beat myself up. But I have learned so much since then. Now I can help and support (not speaking financially support) and maintain a healthy family. Since June, I have been building up my essential oil business and it excites me so much. Having a natural alternative to many aspects of my life and sharing that with people so they can have more control over their lives is so exciting and fulfilling.
In fact, I met a woman last weekend who is the founder of a non-profit organization that helps women fighting breast cancer. She wants to connect with me about some of company's products and some of the products I make using essential oils including soaps and lip balm. So excited. A blessing really.
I am also going back to my old employer which is really exciting. It solidifies my leaving to help care for Brian. I was nervous since we have been financially struggling a bit since my severance ran out. My manager contacted me the very day I passed my state exam and was going to call my "new employer" to set up a day to sign a contract. I know this is where I am supposed to be. And what is awesome is I will have financial security and still have the time to build my essential oil business. If I had gone with the new employer I would have had to spend time building up an insurance business and essential oil may have gone to the side. But not anymore. Hooray!
Soon I'll start sharing some of the cool things I have been making with my oils. It feels so good knowing my family will be healthier now with far less chemicals and synthetics in their lives.
