Passion: don't let anything steal your joy

I wanted to share quickly. I know that you see this and it is a great info site, but I also want you to know me, and know that there are more levels and layers to me. I have to say that finding and getting involved in these oils has been such an amazing thing for me. I have really found a passion and love for natural ways to live. This has brought joy and a purpose to my life in a new way. I know that God led me to find these, and I know that HE is the one who put this passion in me.
The last few days, I have to admit, I have been down. I still have the passion, but I have been letting things (not getting into it right now) steal my joy. I have been really struggling to get my norm done, because I have been allowing things to take joy away. I am saying this because I recognize it in me, and I know that there is more that I am learning about health and wellness and living a natural life. I have this passion for this and I don't want anything to steal the joy and get me off track with what I know I need to be doing to get me to the place I know I need and want to get to.
I want to speak first to those who have been letting things, circumstances or people take their joy. You know what your passion is! You know what you need to do to get you to a place that God is bringing you. Don't let doubts from people, thoughts from others or whatever, invade your thoughts to get you off track. God gave you those passions and He gives us new passions that we never knew were in us. When you find your passion, don't let anything steal that joy! When you find something you love to do, KEEP DOING IT, no matter what anyone says. It is your life and you have a passion for a reason, and God knows what He is doing when He placed those things in you. Use those passions and run with them! I kept going through all the negative stuff and I know that I will get through and succeed because I am not going to give up on this passion. My passion is a natural life. My passion is finding new ways to have a toxic free home. My passion is to find wellness and health in the natural living!
Next, I want to speak to those who might doubt someone's passions. If you don't "agree" with someone about something they are passionate about,... well no nice way to put it... keep your doubts to yourself. Don't take someone's joy away when they have found some thing they love! I  have been searching and searching different areas of where I thought might lead to a passion or some kind of new purpose for me in the season I am in. Some have failed and I have given up on (yes, I admit that), but I kept going and kept looking! I have finally found something that excites me, that gives me joy and gives me PASSION and a will to DO! Don't take that from someone! Don't take what they have found and bring them down. Don't take away their joy because you don't want to do it for you. That is fine if you don't like it, but you don't have to judge their choices, and you don't have to make them feel horrible so that they feel like giving up. This is their life and if they are not hurting anyone then let them follow their passions. There is nothing wrong with them wanting to follow their passions and make a better life for their family. If you love them, and if you care, then let them follow what they are passionate about. For me it is a natural life for my family. I know many don't agree with all that I do, but I know that this is best for MY family. I do not ever say that anyone should do as I do, because it is your choice. If you choose to have a natural, non toxic life; DO IT. If you choose to follow more natural ways in health and medicine; DO IT.
All, in all, I want to say: FIND YOUR PASSION  and then MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

Welcome April: New promo for the month!

We want to say welcome to spring and welcome to April. I am hoping and praying that April will bring Spring-like weather, and NO snow. I am ready for warmer weather. Today I want to share the new promotion for April. Each month there is a new promotion going on and I want to share that with you here. I want to let you know what the products are, how to use them, but also how to get them. If you are already in love with essential oils, you know that there are so many, and they all do so much. They are great! And if  you are anything like me, you want to get them all! I love essential oils AND love a great deal. Its not just the great deal though, it is how these specific products could help you. So I want to take time each week and talk about the promo items and what they could help with, but also I will be finding some testimonials and sharing those with you for the month. So I will be sharing that all right here. I will still be doing the oils of the Bible once a week, and that will be Monday's till I am done going through those. Tuesday I will try to have "testimonial Tuesday" with the promo items, and then how to use promo items on Thursday, and I will be keeping my Fridays for "toxic free Fridays". I love my Fridays because I share lots of great ways to become more toxic free in the home. So this will be my "blog schedule".  Keep checking here, and I will share a link on the Facebook page as well! SO today, is the first day of the month and I will let you know what the products are that you can get for free and HOW!

If you look on this pic, you can see that the three products of the month are Ravintsara oil, Deep Relief roll-on ( Roll-ons are great and so easy to apply!), and then Art day activator. I will be explaining them through out the month, but I want to explain the HOW TO get these amazing products for free! If you look, it says if you order 190PV then you get the roll on and the Ravintsara oil. So you need to order your products for the month that you want or need, and if they equal 190PV or higher you get those two items. The products all have a "point system" or personal volume points. When ordering you see the "PV" next to the price and on the full order page it always says what the "PV" is totaling with the products you want to buy. When ordering it isn't a secret if you ordered enough, they always let you know the total PV for the order. You don't have to be a member but you just need to make sure you have that PV of 190 or higher.But if you want to become a member, you can start with the premium starter kit (an amazing deal!) and then you can get 24% off for life and the kit is 100PV towards the promo. If you order on Essential Rewards (ER) you can start earning free points that can be used for more free items. So many ways to save! If you get the PV of 250 or higher you get the roll on, oil and $20 voucher. If you get PV of 300 or higher you get those three things PLUS the ART day activator. A lot of great free items when you place your order and meet the PV requirement. I will be taking time to highlight these great products each week for the month because I want you all to know how you can use them and how they could help. So keep looking at the blog and see if these are some items you want to shoot for and  get this month! Be blessed
