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.
