I have had the opportunity to be introduced to Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and have been using them over the last year.<br />
There have been many ailments that I have use our oils for. Some include to help heal surgical incisions, burns, heartburn, eczema, allergic reactions, relaxation, sleep aid, headache, acne, migraines and many, many more. Instead of covering each one of them right now, I will pick up with what I am using today.<br />
<br />
Today we used Vetiver, like we use everyday, for ADHD, Sensory and ODD. Vetiver helps to release the anger and aggressiveness that comes with ODD-Oppositional Defiant Disorder. It is noted to have been known in India, as the "Oil of tranquility". Vetiver helps with emotional balance, nervous system and hormonal issues.<br />

<br />
Secondly, we are diffusing Peace and Calming combined with Lavender for the calming effects that it has.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Lastly, Helichrysum for a stubborn allergic reaction that we cannot seem to get rid of on my daughter's legs. This comes from eating things that she is sensitive too while we were in transition and unfortunately we were out of our enzymes at the time and the reaction took over and just will not go away. I have been fighting it for months now and yesterday I decided to try Helichrysum and I am already seeing improvement! I love oils, that is all that I can say!<br />
<br />
Helichrysum has many, many uses to include to aid in bruising, colitis, eczema and tissue repair. And that is just naming a few. I have also used in to stop the bleeding from a wound-what?!? Yes, it helps to stop bleeding.<br />

Life has been quite a journey over the last 8 months. I graduated with my BA in Early Childhood Education, started homeschooling my son, sold our home after months under contract, moved back to my home town and finally, we have arrived at our new location and now I am finishing up my Masters in Special Education. Wow! Can I say wow? I think that I can!<br />
Not only have I had a physical journey, but I have stared a spiritual journey too! I learned last summer that I was an Empath. After all these years I thought that I was loosing my mind and felt like I was always caught up in a whirlwind of emotions all of the time. I instantly starting to see the world completely different and having memories from my childhood surface that I hadn't thought of in a long time. Wow, talk about a roller coaster! I have only begun that journey and I have a lifetime to learn about who I am and what my purpose on Earth is. This is a very personal journey that I will not share much of, but I am putting this out there for anyone that is on this same journey or is just discovering who they are.<br />
Maybe time will allow me to share more about my journey instead of the every 6 month check in. Only time will tell!!<br />
<br />

We got a visit from the Flu bug. He stayed for a short time, but his destruction took a while to clear up! We had a visit from a very special person who helped to take care of us while we were sick which was very nice.<br />
I also got to catch up on one and a half season's of my favorite shows, Once Upon A Time! That was nice to be able to lay in bed all day and sleep and then watch my shows. It didn't feel good, but it was nice.<br />
<br />
It is a new year so there are new beginnings! I will be starting my new business, <a href="http://www.lotus-bloom.com/" target="_blank">Lotus Bloom Life Coaching</a>. It is a venture that I have given great thought too and look forward to doing. Come check me out if you like! We have had a good bought of cold winter days here recently which has resulted in some pipes bursting in my area. I am so thankful that we have not had any problems yet. I ask that we do not have any either!<br />
<br />
I am taking off on my spiritual journey to discover new and enlightening things about myself and the world around me. I look forward to growth, understanding, and gifts for the new year to come! We have many ventures in our future and I can't wait to share them.<br />
<br />
Light and love,<br />

The first is that this year has already flown by and I just finished my Bachelor's degree! Yea for me, now on to my Master's. Secondly, we have been making minor plans for our upcoming move later this year. God has recently blessed us with a potential property that is waiting on us if we can sell our home in time. Not to mention, He has brought someone into our lives that thinks she can take care of that problem for us. If it all falls into place then the children and I will move ahead of dad and prepare the way for his arrival. If not then we will be here until the home sells.
In the mean time, I am continuing to plan for our upcoming homeschool year. Yes, I am homeschooling everyone once we move. To many reasons as to why, but know that it is the best for everyone, including myself. I have been gathering intel, so to speak, and have several blogs that will be supporting our efforts to homeschool. I plan on cleaning up my blog full of buttons to represent my absolute favs.
I am excited about our new adventures and plan to visit back here weekly to track our progress.
Until then,

It all started last Sat when I started feeling ill, again, after being sick for the first three weeks in Jan. I was not able to make it into church to work with the children's ministry and sat in bed all day watching Anne of Green Gables and sleeping. My funk carried over into the week and after having my fitness assessment on Tues, because I am joining a gym, I was ready to cut my arms and legs off. As I started to walk comfortably, I had another appointment with the podiatrist as I have a spot on my foot that I had to have treated a month ago. This was a follow up and low and behold, I get to have another treatment and guess what, I have a spot on my other foot that gets a treatment too! Fantastic!!!<br />
Saturday morning comes and I feel horrible!! Stuffing Motrin and cold meds down my sore throat and more bed time. I even had to email my instructor to say my work would be late on Friday. My brain felt like it was going to explode and to beat all, I couldn't walk. Needless to say I said a big prayer last night as I had to accept that I would not make it to church today. I actually woke up with great relief and gave praise to God for feeling better! Unfortunately, my relief was only temporary. I spent the rest of the day milking my foot wounds and coughing my head off while my brain felt like it was coming out of my ears. <br />
It is now evening and I have managed to clean a little, finish my school work and make dinner. I must say that I feel much better and only pray that I keep feeling better as I meet with my trainer This week to get started. I need to at least try to begin working out tomm by giving the treadmill a whirl-- let's hope!<br />
<br />
I'm delving into some therapeutic grade essentials oils to support my goal of becoming more natural for our health. I have researched and used natural approaches in the past, but I see now more than ever that we need to stick with these approaches. I can't wait to start feeling better, body and mind!<br />

Till next time, Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846035174445352720.post-82778669459542324872013-01-13T11:10:00.000-05:002013-01-13T11:10:17.935-05:00A sense of relief~As time goes by, we continue to wonder what our future will hold, where will we go and will we be together as a family? We still do not know that answers to these questions; however, we do have a bit of insight. We are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. We have been settled as a family for almost four years now. This is the longest that we have ever been together, in one place, as a family.
It has been challenging to say the least, it is difficult to explain to people how military families manage to go through separations and the answer is that you just get used to it, so much so, that it is easier to be separated than living together for long periods of time. This may sound harsh, but the majority will agree with me. Being an Army wife means that you have to learn to do everything on your own, without the help of family. One gets in that mindset and it them becomes difficult to let it go and depend on others again. An Army wife learns where her place is and where her husbands his and this requires two separate means of living.
I take care of the home and it them becomes mine, it is arranged in a manner that best fits the kids and I, routines are in place that best suits the kids and I and so on. When hubby is home, unfortunately, it disrupts those routines and becomes difficult for everyone. It is a process that military families go through quit frequently and we adjust to it just like everything else in our lives.
So now we are adjusting to the notion that what has been our routine for many years now might be changing in the near future. There is sadness and joy at the same time. Sadness at the thought of leaving what we have become comfortable with, friends, resources, our home to joy of starting anew! A new home, new friends, and a new beginning!This also brings a sense of relief to know that we will not have to wait much longer to know our fate.
Only the future holds the truth and we will prepare for it the best that we can. All I know, is that it is in God's hands and I am OK with that!
Til next time,

As he and his sister are walking into the school to sign in for being tardy, the announcements have already started and just as they are getting ready to walk through the front door the pledge of allegiance starts, he immediately stops and turns to place his hand over his heart and face the flag outside and then everyone else stops and does the same. He will make a great leader one day! <br />

And yes, there is plenty of yelling in our home, am I proud of this, absolutely not. It takes a great amount of strenght to not revert back into an old pattern. I can across this article and enjoyed reading it. It was a gentle reminder of what I already known and that I am not alone in this boat. Here is the link

I have done a lot of soul searching about the person God wants me to be, who I want to be, and who I want my children to be. I have had to finally accept that I can only control so much of what happens in life and in order to be happy, I must be at peace.
New Year's Eve is tomm and I have been thinking about what my resolutions will be. I hope that by writing them down, publicly, that I might have a better chance of sticking to them.
1. Praise God Daily!
2. Spend more quality time with my children and teach them about God daily.
3. Find my greatest passion and go for it!
4. Practice love and compassion as often as possible.
5. Stop worrying about tomorrow and live for today!
6. Start living in a minimalist manner and enjoy the simple things in life.
7. Make one Christmas gift a month, this way I should be able to get everything done on time! :)
8. Go to church EVERY weekend with the family.
I am sure that I will come up with some more as the week passes.
Daily focus should be~ God, Family, Me, Home. Everything else can wait.
What will be your desires in 2013?
Til then,
