30 Day Challenge

I am proposing a 30 day challenge to all my followers! Young Living Essential Oils have changed my life! I have quit popping pills and am on a healthy track to wellness. I use essential oils daily to manage my pain from a neck and back injury, manage my depression, and for overall general energy.

If you are tired of being at your wits end and figuring out that you want more out of life than to be in pain, I can help you. There is an essential oil for that! Take my 30 day challenge and if you don't see positive results, then never purchase again. I was so skeptical about trying these 10 years ago that I didn't believe they would work. However, after taking the plunge and enrolling as an Independent Member I realized I was wrong. My doctors have all seen the amazing results and have told me not to change anything that I am doing!

Does this mean that I am free from getting sick or not having any medical problems? No, but I am better equipped to handle anything that is thrown at me. Several weeks ago, I found another spot on my right breast after dong my monthly breast exam. I called my doctor who immediately set up a mammogram which barely revealed the spot, so we had an ultrasound done which confirmed it. So where does that leave me now? I am meeting with the breast doctor on Friday morning to discuss the next course of action. Should they decide to just watch it, then I will start a daily regimen of applying Frankincense to my right breast. I am sure that they will do a follow up at 6 months.

I often hear another thing about doing essential oils is that they cost too much! Some people pay over $300 a month for health insurance and hope that they never need it. Others pay for supplemental insurance to cover the cost for heart attacks, cancer, etc. When you add all this up some families are paying out up to $1,000 a month for insurance and hope to never need it. For as little as $40 or up to $160 plus tax, shipping & handling you can become a wholesale member with Young Living Essential Oils. This allows you to save up to 24% off the retail price. Everyone likes a good deal! I spend $45 a year to Sam's Club just to receive a discount price on purchases in their club.

Once you become a member of Young Living all you need to do to stay active is to purchase $50 in product a year. I do that in 1 month. They also have a reward program that when you set up an essential reward order which comes to your home every month, you get a certain percentage of points applied that in the future you can use to purchase products for free. The longer you are on essential rewards the greater your reward. If you are ready to take my challenge you can click on this link to get started,

I will contact you about this after your order has processed. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or private message me! I am always available to help you on your journey to health and abundance!

Raw emotion on why I think it is important to get mammograms!

4 years ago when I turned 40 my doctor was adamant that I get a mammogram. At the time, they only had the mammo van so that is where I had it done. I had it done in early April and it came back clear. In August I noticed something wasn't right so I returned to my doctor who sent me straight to see the breast surgeon. After another mammogram and an ultrasound, they found a spot on my right breast. Surgery was scheduled and the mass was removed. It was the size of a golf ball. Results came back that it was not cancerous. Thank the Lord! So every 6 months I had to have a repeat until we had the all clear for a year. Only digital imaging could be used since my breast tissue is so dense.

I do not necessarily agree to exposing myself to the radiation you get when having these tests done but do believe that self examination is very important and strongly recommend it. After I recovered from the surgery, I made sure that I spent time with my doctor and asked lots of questions. I had her show me how to do a proper self-exam so I knew exactly what normal should feel like. Our tissue and genetic make up is very important to be aware of. Arming myself with the knowledge she shared with me, I regularly check myself monthly and have a yearly mammogram.

Fast forward to 2014, it has been a busy year for my family. My son graduated from high school and has started college. My daughter is a freshman in high school and very busy girl. I still did my monthly breast exams myself, however did not do my mammogram when I should have. Did I have a suspicion that something wasn't quite right? Yes, but with all the celebrating we were doing I didn't want to damper anything. Probably not a smart thing to do, but next time I won't wait.

At the end of July, I contacted my doctor who set up all the necessary testing. I drove to Cleveland for the mammogram to be done and they also had the ultra sound lab there too. Which was very important for me. Once I arrived and was in the mammogram room, we did the exam. There was a slight something on the x-ray which I expected but again due to the denseness of my breast tissue did not clearly show up. So I had the tech feel the spot and she immediately called ultrasound. Off to ultrasound I went and there it was, another spot on the same breast as before just in a different location. Measurements were taken and I was told that we were going to watch this for 6 months to see what happens. I was ok with that!

The next week, I received a phone call from the hospital that they wanted to see me in the clinic. So next week I will go meet with them and set our course of action. If we choose to wait and watch it for 6 months, then my next course of action will be to apply Frankincense daily to see what happens. 

I cannot emphasize doing self-exams monthly and yearly mammograms enough! I usually don't share this much about my personal stuff, but felt this might help someone!
