Animals and Essential Oils

I would like to say that I am a believe in essential oils. Not only do I use Young Living on our furless family, I use them on my furry family.

It has been very helpful for out animals. Especially during firework season. Being able to help calm them is something I think we all appreciate! Especially our fearful pups and kitten.

Here is a great video to show how they can be utilized:

Home Remedies:Essential Oils In Dogs-Dr. Tom Pfafman at the Integrative Vet Med Center

Now Dr. Tom Pfafman isn’t near me but I wish he was! I hope you find something interesting and useful!

One thing I do want to say is that the reporter said you can get these EO’s in a store or online. No you can not buy Young Living in a store – Young Living is a company that you can only (should only) purchase from the Young Living website. You sign up either as retail  customer or wholesale member!

Simple Way To Get Steps In

One change I have been making is to get my steps in. It isn’t always great weather. We no longer have a gym membership, so this is what I have been doing.

One of the best things is when I am doing it earlier enough a lot of the times the two youngest kiddos will join me.

Now after I have done any kind of workout my body is always fighting me. I have some autoimmune issues and my body isn’t a fan. So I use these three Young Living Essential Oils to help.

After I get done I apply these to my muscles to help them feel alive, rejuvenated, relaxed and ready to go the next day!

Simple things, small things, do them for a while and they become your life style.

Are You a Slave To Your Feet?

Change is hard.

Change takes determination.

Change takes dedication.

Change is not quick.

Change that is real, takes time.

Well currently speaking, I am a slave to my feet. Being active in April has been what I am attempting to improve. Which means being on the feet more. Which means my feet have been screaming at me more. Which means it makes me want to throw in the towel and call it quits. Which means I had to find a solution to help!

So do you have your feet screaming at you by the end of the night? Do you wake up and wonder how long it is going to be before you want to cut them off? Do you wonder if it is ever going to get better?

Well it can get better! Here are some things you can try to see if they work for you!

Since I have been playing around to find what works for me I have been having much better days! I am not wanting to throw the towel in. I am making it while being Active in April! I am making it to my step goal (almost daily).

Change does take time and I am very aware of this! If I can do this and work towards getting healthy, anyone can do it!

Rough Weekend

We had a very rough weekend and all of a sudden I realized something on Sunday afternoon.

From Friday to Saturday I had about 3 hours of sleep. Saturday was a very long and rough day because of an accident that took place. Spent a long time looking for a missing dog and the rest of the time at the hospital waiting. Saturday night lead to not much sleep because I hit my second wind.

Sunday was church and by the afternoon, making lunch, cleaning, getting ready for the next day of school and whatever else it could hold for us.

I was feeling a bit tired by the weekend but I all of a sudden realized I still had a good amount of energy. I should have wanted to lay down and do nothing but sleep.  

Coming off the week of my gift from God I am always exhausted. Then add to it the lack of sleep from the weekend emergency and normal life. That isn’t what I wanted though. I laid down thinking I was going to nap and I laid there.

It has been a month and I am seeing so many differences! Our children are seeing differences. My husband is seeing differences.

Are you ready for changes in your life? We are so excited for the things we are seeing. I can’t wait for us to get further down the road.

We are all living a life with a ton of chemicals. Some of them are toxic and some of them are non-toxic. We are on a path right now and we have eliminated most of the toxic chemicals from our home (I am sure we have some I haven’t tossed out yet). We are choosing to be healthy. We are choosing to put our health and lives first. We are choosing to pay for this stuff now and not later!

What choices are you making for yourself and your family?

2 Month Face Update

It isn’t the easiest to see the changes in photos. I am trying to do close up’s so you can tell but it is so hard; even for me to see the difference.

I am beyond impressed with all of the changes that are going on in my life! There really are a lot but my face truly is amazing to me!

I can touch my face without pain! Bigger than big!

My face is becoming smooth (still working on the whole picking thing). Amazing how smooth my face really is.

I am only getting pimples (not pustules) around God’s once a month gift to women. This is unbelievable!

I am not completely embarrassed to go out in public. I still have redness but it is getting better. Children still notice and I explain what is going on but it is so much better!

Really I am not one for posting photos. I hated the way I looked. So the fact I have been posting (had to put on my bravery panties) is a huge thing.

I can’t wait to tell you guys more of the good things that have been going on!

How to Make Marriage Last

I am not a counselor. I am not a therapist. I don’t have a degree in anything to do with marriage. However I have gone through a divorce and I am currently watching two people I love and adore go through divorce.

There is a lot that people could do. There is a lot that people do. There are however some things I think are really important for a marriage to make it through good and bad times.

How do you go from wedding day to old age?

1. Communication: this isn’t just talking to your spouse. It is really listening to what they are saying. It is being honest with your spouse even when you know it will hurt them. Don’t assume you know what they are saying or feeling, don’t assume your spouse knows or understands what you are saying or feeling, make sure they can repeat back to you not only your words but what you actually meant. Do not correct their feelings or their words; even if they are not truth they are theirs. Hear them, absorb them, communicate the truth to them; but only after you actual understand.
2. Laughter: you have got to be able to laugh at yourself, your spouse and with each other.This doesn’t mean laughing at your spouses expense, there is a huge difference here.
3. Respect: always respect your spouse. Let them finish talking. Hold them when they are crying. Out in public and don’t agree with them? Stand by their side anyway and take it up in private. In front of your children or family and don’t agree with them? Still stand by their side and then take it up in private.
4. Time: all of us need one on one time with our spouse. If you do not continue to date after you are married, you are missing out on a huge aspect of marriage. We all change as we age and if you stop dating how are you going to change with your spouse and keep going in the same direction. Each spouse also needs time alone or away to be with friends. There is no need to suffocate each other but there is a huge need to be with each other.
5. Forgiveness: not only do you need to be able to forgive your spouse, you need to be able to forgive yourself. No one is perfect. We are all going to do things that hurt our spouse and they won’t be intentional. So forgive your spouse. Anger does nothing but break down what goodness there is. Did you make the mistake? Forgive yourself because when you keep on beating yourself up you are breaking down the goodness and dwelling on all things negative.
6. Selflessness: marriage is not 50/50, divorce is. Don’t stop being the selfless person you were when you were courting and getting to know each other. Don’t stop the little things like putting gas in her car, picking a flower on the way home from work, or some kind of contact from you in the middle of the day so that your spouse knew you were on their mind. Continue to be that selfless person you were because when you lose that and turn selfish, you lose a bit of your spouse.
7. Trust: is so hard to come by so continue to be open and honest with your spouse so that trust is there. Trust takes time and over the course of dating you learned to trust the person you were with. Continue to do things to encourage the trust on both sides. Sometimes not doing what you say breaks your trust. It can be rebuilt, but it does take a lot of time. So always continue to strive to keep the trust with your spouse.
8. Patience: is always going to be needed. We all have our moments when we pray, “God give me patience”. Are you trying to learn a new skill from your spouse? Are you trying to teach your spouse a new skill? Maybe it isn’t going well. Maybe sports or cooking do not come easy for your spouse. Remember they want to learn, they want to do this with YOU because they love you and know you love whatever it is. Maybe your spouse has something big to tell you and is struggling to get words out. Be patient, hold their hand, let them know it is okay and wait.
9. Love: always recall when you first fell in love with your spouse. Love is not easy. Love is an action. Love is a choice. Love is something you wake up each morning and decide you are going to do. Sometimes we feel love. Sometimes we feel blah. Sometimes we struggle when we look at our spouse. Go back, recall when you first fell in love. There are days you may want to run away. There are days you may wonder why did I get married. Go back, recall when you first fell in love. Your love as you age and grow with each other won’t always be the same but your love, if you wake up each morning and choose to love this person will always get you through.
10. God: when you and your spouse are on the same page and husband, wife and God become one it makes it harder for anything to fall apart. Don’t stop praying. Don’t stop going to church. Don’t stop reaching out to Him alone and together. Find and stay and pray and serve with your church family and your spouse. Don’t ever let God be left at the alter while you and your spouse walk away. If He was there when the marriage started, He will always be there to keep the Three of you together, if you let Him.  
    Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. ~Ecclesiastes 4:12 

It is not always easy. Things are thrown at us in life. We for the most part are a toss away society and that includes marriages. Do not fall into that trap. Do not allow things to come between you and your love. Be strong and practice and date and never give up.

I have watched a lot lately and I do not have all the answers. Still:

I am praying for you and your marriage today, even if I do not know you personally!
