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!

Nudges

Sometimes you just have to have faith. You just have to know that it is all going to work out. You just have to trust that He loves you more than you love your own children or spouse.

There has been a nudge for a while and I have been pushing it aside; you would think as I get older I would stop putting that off. Over the past couple of days I have been seriously looking at it all.

Some changes are coming. We are going to be the same but different and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.

Hopefully it won’t take to long but know that God will ALWAYS provide! It may not look like what you thought it was going to be, but He will always provide.

We also have another giveaway coming up, so stay tuned!

Spring Break Health

Well our spring break is certainly not going as well had planned. We were so excited to be able to go on walks. We were planning a walk to the library. A visit to the zoo. Playing in the yard. Working on soccer and baseball and basketball.

Instead we have been doing things like, reading, writing, talking, laughing, car rides, sleep overs, lunch dates and not much of the outdoor adventures!

We plan on heading over to the local children’s museum. We will find something else to do I am sure!

We are also trying to follow some of these tips about staying healthy on spring break!

What have you been doing for your spring break? Did you already have yours? Was it good weather or did you have to improvise as well?

Spring Break

So excited to get a week off with these kiddos. We are looking forward to walks, parks, family time, reading, and whatever else we can fit in.

Of course I have since heard it is supposed to be awful weather but that isn’t going to stop these crazy goofballs!

I know that spring break comes at different times for everyone, but I can’t believe that we are about to head into April 2016!

See those two crazy kiddos in those photos? They are 1/2 of the reason I have invested so much into our health! I could not be more proud of the choices we have been making with Young Living and Juice Plus+! They are so much more full of life, not as tired all the time and still their ever loving goofy selves! Not to mention I have more energy and better sleep to be able to keep up with them (well most of the time).

Sunday Night Party

Sunday night on Facebook I will be attending a Tower Garden Party!

This is great for anyone and you will so much. Let me say though that this is AMAZING for anyone who especially lives in COLD climates! Live in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or any other place. How about New York and you live in a small apartment or even a large apartment but no green space to make a garden.

I am so excited to be able to do this here soon because I am super excited to have FRESH GROWN, LOCAL (how much more local can it get if it is grown at my home!?!) fruits and veggies!

Really it doesn’t matter where you live! This is truly the most amazing thing I have seen in a LONG time!

Want to learn about it? I hope so because it is so amazing…

Make sure you contact me before Sunday night because I am dying to add you to this!

Knowledge is Power

A while ago I was talking about how important it is to be knowledgable about how the “Schools” of aromatherapy work. Basically if you want to know what I was speaking about just go here. The basics here is not talking about actual aromatherapy schools that you would take courses at to become a certified aromatherapist. It is talking about how essential oils are divided by the method you follow with using the EO’s.

Yes there are schools where you take courses and you can become a certified aromatherapist but even before you take courses at one of those it is of vital importance to know the three schools of aromatherapy!

Most of the schools you take courses at are teaching you in the viewpoint of the British methods of aromatherapy. Which then also teaches us what?

If people are not fully educated and don’t understand that there are differences or don’t realize what the real differences are, you can’t understand why some people are writing or making statements the way they do!

Make sure you take the time to educate yourself! Make sure you take the time to understand the difference between British, German and French methods of using essential oils. Make sure you take the time to learn that most schools that you would get an aromatherapy license from is taught in the British method. That means most articles that are written and tell you not to use the essential oils neat or digest them do so because they do not believe in it. They are not using pure therapeutic essential oils.

Beware! Knowledge is Power…. The more you education yourself the better it is when someone asks why such and such article says not to ingest this oil or that, the better it is when someone asks you why YOU apply essential oil’s neat when such and such says…
