Introductions?

Well, lets start with full disclosure - I am starting this blog about my oil journey a bit late as I have been using oils for a few months now. Procrastination, I bet there is an oil for that!

Introductions, I'm Michelle. I'm 27 years old, been married for almost four years to an amazing man (my best friend) Colby. We have three cats - Yeah I know what you are thinking but we started with one ... Miss Maddie and she had TWO boys. We couldn't pick just one so we kept both, Colby named them Oswald and Booth - why those names you ask - because he thought it would be funny. Oh that husband of mine *She says with a proud smirk*

I have always struggled with emotional consistency and suffer from chronic pain in my back, shoulders, arms and hands. To be honest I have seen the doctor a number of times and they finally determined a diagnosed of Fibromyalgia.

After really really hitting rock bottom in 2014 (coincidently after I quit smoking cigarettes) and I really struggled with my emotional stability, pain levels and my general attitude towards .... well anything really. I was disconnected, mean and short. Towards the end of the year my friend told me about essential oils and Young Living. She said they had a lot of healing properties and she had read how they could help manage pain and I may want to look into them.

Well I saw that there were different healing properties and you could get a starter kit that includes a diffuser for $150.00 (umm this includes shipping and everything!!). Which is when I received the Everyday Oils Collection that contains like ten oils and a home diffuser.  To anyone reading this - this is not a sales ad in any way shape or form. Yes, I am happy to help you sign up under my distribution number and I can help you with tips and trick BUT folks ..... everyone and I mean everyone should use essential oils on a daily basis. 

When I received my kit I started using Joy - right off the bat and I remember coming to Amy  (the friend that recommended essential oils) and telling her 'I didn't realize I had been so sad, I always thought I was angry'. I was so shocked how emotionally happy like that in a while. I was happy from deep down and unless you have been depressed I don't think you can fully grasp the difference.

Its a very fast and busy world and my generation was hit with a whirlwind of information and technology in a critical stage in our lives and the world changed. In all of the hustle and bustle we lost how to truly honor and take care of our mind, body and soul. After all, we only get one and might as well enjoy it!

I have been using oils for about 3 1/2 months now and I have started a few regiments. You can find them in other posts within this blog! 

I am not 100% pain free don't get me wrong BUT, I am off all pain medications. I don't need them.  I still have my moments as I find a good regiment but I am off all of my sleeping medication. I mentioned Joy earlier - this has saved my life and my marriage. I couldn't shake negativity and all the attitudes that comes with it. Everyone was starting to become distant and I found I didn't care. Now - I find more moments of myself smiling rather than wishing I still could!

Well there you have it - my start. That's all for now folks, I'll be back! May you always see the best in the person next to you even if they can't see it in you!
