Month: November 2016

Today I am writing my gratitude post about something I use every day. For me, the most life-changing thing that I now use every day is my doTERRA essential oils. I love how oils support my health goals and help me to deal with aches and pains.

doTERRA oils are so amazing and I love using them every day in many ways. I take a drop of Frankincense each morning, roll on InTune for focus, put on my roller that I made for supporting my MS, take an OnGuard beadlet, and put Breathe on my chest, and Balance on my wrists. These oils start my day and get me out the door with extra support for my immune system. 

During the day, I diffuse every day in my classroom. I really think the diffuser helps all of us to maintain our balance and keeps us all calmer. The blend I use this year almost every day is Balance, Serenity, and Cheer. I love the way the oils clean our air and give us a good smell. I also love the way the oils help all of us to regulate our moods. 

Learning about oils has been one of the best things that I have done in my life. I love being able to deal with my health issues with oils instead of always reaching for over-the-counter medicine. I have changed my home cleaning routines, and my bath and body products to reduce the toxins in my environment. 

I am so grateful for my doTERRA essential oils and the opportunity they give me to share oils with others and educate them about wellness. 

 

Fall is my favorite time of year. The leaves are so beautiful. It is a crisp and clean feeling in the air. 

The apple orchards and pumpkin farms that people visit are so much fun. I love to taste apple and pumpkin everything, especially pumpkin bars. 

Getting out to experience nature is always such a great way to relax. I absolutely love living in a place in which I can actually experience all four seasons. I am so thankful for that. 

 

     Home is where the heart is, or so they say. I love my home and the city where I live. This wasn’t always the case and it isn’t what I imagined it would be, but it is true nonetheless. 

    My house is a small house, but it is one that both my husband and I fell in love with. We have since discovered that neither one of us likes to do home projects, so maybe a house was not exactly the right decision. However, I still love it. It is even more amazing now that I have the updated kitchen, with all the things that we picked out to be our dream space. I am grateful to have a space that is ours. 

     The other place in the world that we would both love to be is Sevilla. If the economy in Spain were better, that is where we would be. I am thankful for the time that I got to spend there. I am also thankful that Ramon was willing to leave his home and come here to be with me. 

     The last thing I am grateful for is the home I lived in as a child. Madison is my hometown, and I love it there. Our house was in a newly constructed subdivision and we had tons of kids to play with. There were fun neighborhood get-togethers and I was able to run around and through the bike paths and neighborhood paths. I loved our house. I am grateful for the time that we had there and the stability of my younger years. 

      What comes to mind for you when you think of home? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
