Happy Birthday Dear Friend!

Happy HAPPY Birthday, Dani!

This is my friend and her husband… Dani & ben and dani2Ben Montoya! They are amazing people! Dani and I have connected on a very deep level from the day we met over 20 years ago. We have been through a lot together. There have been fun times and not so fun times. There was the years Ben fried turkeys for the holidays! Oh my gosh! Forget the delicious stuffing and sweet potatoes… all we wanted to eat was the turkey! And Dani’s brisket was better than any restaurant! And then there was the Christmas Eve that we got together and made ornaments. I cherish that ornament and all the Christmas decorations she has painted for me! I am so grateful that she is in my life. I feared that we would part when they moved to Oklahoma…

Her home was filled with family and friends! I loved that Geoff captured this expression of love…

Dani is a hard worker, and extremely creative. When we first became friends, she showed me some

There was a day I could not spend much money, so it was at that time that she gave me pieces as gifts, but now that I can purchase some I feel like I hog them all! Shown here are some of my most favorite pieces…

 

In nearly every aspect of my life are the creations of this dear lady! She is the one who created my website, and we share in our essential oils business. I love that!

Let’s Celebrate with Her!

Dani… potter, weaver, painter, musician, web designer, Reiki Master, creator, crystal loving extraordinaire is happy to spend this significant birthday quietly at home without a lot of hoopla… so I say we bring the hoopla to her! It doesn’t take much but a text, or a Facebook message to let her know that you are thinking of her on her special day… but if you cannot message her on her exact birthday of October 2nd, just know that she is celebrating ALL WEEK! And if you happen to live nearby… visit her at her store in Poteau and buy a piece of her art! Let’s fill her week with joy, happiness and LOVE!

Choose Determination!

The Drought of Adversity

Many of you may know that California, where I live, has been in a serious drought. All around us we see the plants, trees and grasses dying off. It’s a symbol of adversity. Adversity, if we allow it can tear us apart, cause us to hold onto or cultivate negative thoughts, and create illness in our body or in our existence. Or… it can make us stronger. It’s all up to us and the way we choose to perceive it. We are born with a wonderful attribute – DETERMINATION.

Choosing to be Strong in the Face of Adversity

I looked out at my yard the other day and was shocked at what I saw! The plumerias are not only surviving the drought, they are flourishing! I’ve never seen the bush so large and full of blooms! It is easily double in size and much fuller and lush than it has ever been! It was an affirmation to me that this little tree is determined to flourish and be beautiful in spite of the adversity it is currently under!

We can take a lesson from this beauty in nature. When we are faced with adversity… be it a small set back or a huge life changing catastrophe, what is our attitude? Do we shrivel up and die? Or do we reach deep into our reservoir of determination and find a way around the adversity? For some it may just be changing our thought process. In other situations, it may be uprooting our life.

 

Wise Council from a Father…

In a conversation with my dad many years ago, I asked him how he faced the adversity in his life. He told me he just laced up his boot strings tightly and just kept going, moving forward until he could feel comfortable resting. Those were very wise words that came from a man who faced a lot of adversity in his life. I’ve never forgotten those words. And now I extend his words to you. I hope I have helped you in your resolve to dig deep into those reserves of determination. Know that whatever it is that you struggle with right now, will pass, and you can and will rise triumphant! Allow the adversity to bring out the best in you. Find the positive thoughts within. Fill your heart & soul with gratitude for all that is good and wonderful surrounding you – both now and in the future! Take a deep breath and tighten your boot laces and move forward!

Feelin’ a bit emotional…

Scan0189My heart is full today. Every night as I close my day I say a prayer of gratitude. I’m so grateful for the amazing blessings that fill my life that there are days it’s difficult to welcome sleep because of the excitement of my blessings! Everyday I wake I feel gratitude swell in my heart. I begin each and every day with a prayer of gratitude. There were days in years past when I had difficulty leaving the comfort of my bed because I was in need of emotional comfort.

For those of you who know me, you know I’m a religious person. I love the scriptures and the support I receive from them, especially in situations where I might feel distress. Today my heart is full of many emotions for my many friends, clients, associates and family members who at the moment are living their day to day lives without a companion.

In years past, I taught an early morning religion class to high school students. Seminary, as it is called, was a fun and grueling experience. There were things in the curriculum that I taught that have stayed with me throughout the years. One such scripture, found in 2 Timothy 3:3. At the time that I taught that lesson, we were all truly babes – having complete innocence to what was to come. Here are the verses:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

It was interesting to read this at the time with my young students, we wondered what kind of a world it would be. It is daunting to now live in this prophesied and now realized world. I’m grateful for the many men who have grown towards the Lord in their progression through their lives, but I also sorrow for the many men who have fallen into these prophesies – good men! It is truly the cause for so many women’s sorrows. It’s amazing to me how many single women there are today – and single men, too! Men or women who will not commit to one person and have the opportunity to grow together as one and reap the blessings and increase in the bonds of love because they fear divorce or being with someone that isn’t ideal. There are no ideal people out there. We were meant to overlook our imperfections and only see the divine in others. We were meant to have a mate to grow with for there are areas of growth that can only be obtained through a committed marital relationship.

I draw on the strength I receive from reading and striving to undgeoff_uke2erstand how the scriptures apply to my life. I relish in the strength I receive from understanding the Atonement applies to me personally – to lift me when low, and to direct me when life gets tough. I’m grateful I have lived the blessing of having a companion who is devoted to me, who puts up with me and yet still loves me, who has been angry or extremely frustrated with me yet has not given up on me the past 40 years. I know this is becoming more rare in our current world. It is my hope and prayer that men & women who have fallen into the prophesied trap will realize the path they are on, and change their path!

Everyone Has a Story… Here’s Mine

My Story…

I have spent my entire life trying to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s taken a lot of learning, trial and error, loretta mo'sand gradual successes. Over the years, I’ve seen my family go through much of what other families face. The struggling came to a head several years ago when my mother passed away. That was a true game changer for me. I wallowed in victim energy and steeped in caretaker energy. This seems to be the emotions that many women inDSCF5863 general deal with. But for me, it was devastating. I reached out for help, but the help I received was not expected! I felt a calling to energy work. This was beyond my comprehension because as a religious person, in the past I had distanced myself from anything such as this. My mother was a Reiki practitioner, and she, liking all things out there, put a spin on Reiki that I personally couldn’t justify. I distanced myself from her and other members of my immediate family. So when I hit rock bottom, I was shocked at the calling I received to embrace energy therapy. When I considered the SimplyHealed Method®, it was very important to me that it was not contrary to my religious beliefs. I put my shingle out and began a practice. I’ve enjoyed my clients and being able to help others. I’ve often thought about how my life would be so different today had I began energy work 20 or even 30 years ago!

One amazing thing happened to me because of clearing negative energy…

Caught working on vacation... OOPS!

Caught working on vacation… OOPS!

I discovered Essential Oils. I have a lot of experience in joining multi-level-marketing companies. If they have a product I like, I understand that if I become a member, I can receive those products wholesale. The whole building of a team hasn’t worked for me in the past, so it didn’t interest me at first when I joined. I joined for the product. In working with energy, I enjoy working with essential oils with my clients. Anything beyond using the products I had avoided like the plague… until one day. I had just completed a very well attended workshop for my clients, teaching them how to write a manifestation list. Part of the workshop included me critiquing their newly written manifestation list and clearing the energy on each point and plugging that list into their energy system. I also have it incorporated that when I work on a client, it’s as if I’m working on myself – I receive the same benefit. I was contacted by my friends, and received information about a compensation program that truly resonated with me. I learned the importance of understanding this compensation program even if I wasn’t doing the business. Once that light came on, I had 14 people join with me in the venture within the next 32 days. I felt a responsibility to support those 14 friends in their journey. I learned how to do classes, and how to provide on-line support. Now, with over 140 people who have joined with me, I feel such gratitude to be able to be a part of their journey towards better health and a higher quality of life.

Thank you for reading my story…
