As an Energy Practitioner, I delight in helping others release the negative clutter in their energy system to allow them to accept the light around them.
It’s always an exciting time!! dōTERRA puts so much effort in developing new products. We heard yesterday that some very exciting research studies came through just this week!
There are 13 new products coming! By the look of this silhouette, it appears that there are at least 3 new oils (we LOVE oils) with possibly 2 roller ball bottles (could be new oils, or could be new blends) with 3 supplements, a small box item, and that tall spray that is in a black bottle (confirmed from a previous teaser).
Dr. Hill shared that the new products this year are purpose driven for solutions. I’m beyond excited! Not only to receive the products, but to be able to have more amazing products to share with others! Emily said there’s a new line being announced that adults and children both would benefit from. One thing dōTERRA hears a lot is that people want a non-toxic sunscreen. Since dōTERRA listens to us, I am betting there is possibly something like that laying across the bottom of this silhouette. Of course that’s just a guess. It’s fun to guess and speculate. We will find out on the first day of Convention, then we will all race to the line to buy the Convention Kit. It’s amazing how quickly dōTERRA distributes the kits! Seriously, we stand in line for like 20 minutes. That’s not bad for 35,000 people wanting their products at the same time!! But they are saying no more long lines. We will see just what they mean soon.
Be watching for our Facebook Live videos. I’m beyond excited!
At first I just loved all the beautiful smells of the oils. Until one day when my husband
dōTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil
was struggling with a health issue that went on for 3 weeks. He was convinced it was one thing and had testing done for that, but it wasn’t that at all. It was a seasonal threat – very temporary. But he didn’t believe it until I began feeling just like he did. I’m normally full of energy and stamina, but when I began feeling like him, I panicked. I needed support FAST! I was caring for twin toddlers that kept me on my toes! I had read of the supportive comfort found with pure, therapeutic grade Peppermint, so I slathered it all over where I ached. Within about a minute, all the aching was soothed and I was back on my feet. A couple hours later I began to feel yucky again, so I slathered my supportive Peppermint once more. To my amazement all discomfort left me again and never came back. After that, each time anyone in the family felt discomfort, I reached for the Peppermint.
Since we were loving Peppermint, we decided to branch out to other oils too. We were very impressed with how amazing they were for us. So you can guess what the biggest reason to consider transitioning to natural solutions would be… YES…
Concept #1 for Transitioning to Natural Solutions… The Health Benefits
The more I see my friends and associates struggle through discomfort, it strikes it home for me… I need to teach people there is HOPE for improving your quality of life!
On Guard helps support proper immune function and increases protection against seasonal and environmental threats.
Balance supplies support for my emotions. I used just a drop on the bottom of my feet each morning to keep that even keel.
Lavender is my go to oil to soothe skin irritations and promote healthy sleep patterns
Tea Tree is my go to when I feel sneezy or stuffy. Just a little across the bridge of my nose and my sinuses feel stronger.
Please don’t take it from just me… do your research! doTERRA’s mission is to provide the best, purest, strongest essential oils to the world at the best price. Click Here for a good place to begin your research.
Concept #2 There is Hope in Knowledge & Safety
In my Peppermint story above, I need to be honest… we used WAY MORE Peppermint than we needed to. We practically bathed in it. That’s not necessary and can cause more harm than good if we had continued that practice.
Here’s how to use them:
A word on diluting. Allow me to preface this with the amazing fact that doTERRA does more research, and compiles more data on essential oils than anyone in the world. I feel safe knowing there’s a very competent team of doctors and scientists behind every oil or product they offer. So when doTERRA suggests an oil is safe to use undiluted, I believe them wholeheartedly above anyone else. However, diluting is actually more a way of delivery. When you apply an oil undiluted, or “neat”, there is a certain amount of flash evaporation that occurs, so the safe amount of 1-2 drops applied topically may not all go into your body. When you add a drop of premium carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil, flash evaporation is prevented, and the delivery into the body is slowed down. This allows for a deeper penetration.
Concept #3 Begin Smart
If you’re using essential oils now, do your due diligence. Allow me to tell you the reasons why I chose and stay with doTERRA. I know they only use plant matter and nothing synthetic in their oils. Plus they provide a way for you to know exactly the purity of each batch of essential oils.Read more about that here.doTERRA’s sourcing initiative seeks to develop mutually beneficial supplier partnerships while creating sustainable jobs and providing reliable income in under-developed areas of the world. The level of integrity of the founders of doTERRA surpasses most other companies in this area. And the icing on the cake is their Healing Hands Foundation. They provide a way for their customers to contribute with each order. And when we do, not one cent is taken out for administrative fees. Every single dollar goes to those in need.

I am so proud to be a part of this amazing movement towards better health and wellness. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.Are you ready for a change?
Something I hear often from those who are first hearing about oils is “they are so expensive”, so I thought I would talk a little about this today.
I love comparisons!
Let’s take Lavender for an example… Before using oils, I would purchase from the local store, a tube for burns, a tube for itchy bug bites, capsules to encourage restful sleep, even something for a sunburn. Those items I would use maybe a handful of times, then they would collect dust taking up real estate in my bathroom drawer. Eventually I would need to throw them away because they were expired. So, let’s do the math… paying say $5 a piece (because I like round numbers), if I only got 5 applications from the tube, each application would cost $1. That’s a lot of money!
Now, imagine if just one product
could do all those individual things and more! Allow me to illustrate with one of my own experiences. I was visiting with a neighbor, and misjudged my position on their front porch. As I stepped back, I immediately realized I was falling. Not wanting to land in the flower bed, I braced my fall by pressing my arm on the stucco wall. I caught my fall, but sustained a nasty road rash on my arm that was filled with stucco. I immediately went home and washed out the stucco. Boy, did that sting! I reached for my Lavender and applied 2 drops in my palm and rubbed it over the area. Immediately the sting was soothed, and I went about my day. Two hours later, I remembered what I had done and thought, I should apply more Lavender. 2 drops in my opposite palm and went to apply and was shocked to see all redness was gone, just little red scratch lines were present. Thrilled, I applied the 2nd application and went about my business. 4 hours later when I was getting ready for bed, I remembered what I had done and went to apply again, but there wasn’t much sign of anything on my arm. I applied the 3rd time for good measure. I only wish I had taken photos! So what did I receive? My injury was soothed, my state of mind was calmed and I enjoyed a wonderful scent of the best Lavender in the world! And the real kicker… each drop of Lavender costs just .09 cents! And, I have plenty left over to use for calming the itch of a bug bite, soothing a sunburn, peaceful sleep and since we tend to be crazy in the kitchen, we need a lot of Lavender for all the burns we get cooking. It’s also easy to house the Lavender in my bathroom drawer now that all those store bought tubes are gone!
Very Economical!
It usually takes us a good 1-2 years to use up just one 15ml bottle of Lavender. I would say that’s VERY cost effective. I’ve found that since using essential oils, my budget has eased quite a bit, and my quality of life has improved. I’m thrilled to share this with the world!

It’s baffling why it’s so difficult to write a Christmas letter…
maybe it’s because we read all of your yearly letters and enjoy how well they’re written, and realize we pale in comparison to you! But this year we have felt a true need to take a moment and share some semblance of a letter to honor this time of year and to place in record our history of the past year. We love you and love that you love us enough to share your letters with us even though our reciprocation has been non-existent for so many years. Geoff has given me the task of writing it this year.
My New Family Members!
If you’re on social media, you know of some of the blessings we’ve enjoyed… We have found the daughter of my sister, and she has brought her husband and 3 adult kids to bless our life, along with her close extended family. Karen has the temperament of Sylvia whose light dimmed in the struggles of Alzheimer’s and her passing. Karen has filled some of the emptiness I have felt without my sister. Once finding Karen, I decided to do the Ancestry DNA test, and have found cousins anxious to share family history. Ruby & Susan have enriched my life wonderfully!
Since I run my business though social media, which requires consistent daily posting, those who are on social media know I’m still enjoying doTERRA and the blessings they are to us. Geoff has enjoyed better health, and we all appreciate the benefits of a better quality of life. A real blessing has been watching my organization continue to grow as more and more people realize the benefits.
As I have been busy teaching and mentoring, Geoff has continued to work. He has enjoyed the thought of retiring, though he hasn’t set a date, mainly due to the fact that he enjoys spending money on hobbies, music and going out to eat. Recently, due to Brian’s sons’ excitement about playing the guitar, Geoff has gotten his guitar out again. He had been playing ukulele nearly exclusively for several years. I am enjoying the many songs he is playing again on guitar.
The main purpose of this Christmas letter
…is for us to express how we honor the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s the chosen day to celebrate, but the older we get, the more we appreciate our understanding of His birth, life, mission and atonement. The comfort we receive knowing these things and understanding how we fit in all of this is immeasurable. May the true Peace of this season be yours now, and throughout the coming New Year.
A child holds hands with their parents for protection. I use to tell my grandsons, when they were little, how much I loved holding hands with them. Then when we walked from Kindergarten, I explained that there would be a day when they no longer wanted to hold my hand. They both protested and exclaimed they would ALWAYS want to hold my hand. Now they are 13, and I cannot recall when the last time was that we held hands. I do recall, though, that when we did, it was their choice, and as they held my hand, they said, “See, I will always want to hold your hand.” They are such darling boys.
Holding Hands Transfers Love
My husband and I still hold hands. Amid all the comments when friends see us in public like: “Ah, look, they are older now, and they still hold hands. Isn’t that cute?” My husband HATES being called CUTE! But still enjoys holding my hand. We hold hands while watching a movie, while walking, while sitting in church, and as we are falling asleep at night.
The connection involved in holding hands is incredible. I held hands with my mom, my mother in law, my sister, all in our adulthood. I have always enjoyed the love transferred from one hand to the other.
Holding Hands Transfers Energetic Vibrations
I don’t see many people holding hands anymore. I think it’s a gesture of love that should never be overlooked. As an energy practitioner, I recognize the act of holding hands passes a high vibration and assists the vibration to rise in both participants. So I ask, do you hold hands? I would love to hear from all of you, and hopefully bring this practice into a more conscious awareness of the importance of it.
