My Essential Oil Story

A little more than a year ago I was doing research on the internet to try to help Monroe fall asleep sooner at night.  Essential oils came up many times, but I had no idea what they were.  About a week later, a lady from our church got up and spoke about a workshop she was doing called "Essential Oils of the Bible".  I couldn't attend that workshop, but I did meet with her and learned about her love for oils and how they had changed her family's way of life.  I was intrigued but not yet ready to spend the money.  Zach and I batted the idea around for about a week until we finally decided to go for it.  We figured there were worse things we could waste our money on than our family's health.  Our starter kit arrived on March 17, and we haven't looked back since.
In the last year, my family has used oils to: relieve headaches, ease stomach aches/nausea, prevent sickness, stop sickness at the first signs, soothe a sore throat, relieve a cough, soothe skin irritations, heal scrapes and scratches, relieve neck aches and other body aches, feel more awake and alert, relieve stress, go to sleep easier, feel happy, moisturize skin, clear up acne, clean stains out of carpet and clothes, make shoes smell better, make laundry smell good, freshen our house, etc.
During a winter when it seemed that everyone was sick and the illnesses were serious, my family didn't go to the doctor once.  In fact, we haven't been in a year.  The worst Monroe had was a cough that lasted three days.

When I bought the starter kit last March, I knew that I was signing up as a distributor.  I was told I could sell the oils and make money, but I had no intentions of doing that.  Within the first month, however, I had already sold a kit to two people.  Each month since, people have come to me asking about oils and wanting to try them with their families.  The oils have sold themselves, and my business is growing rapidly.  I never intended to take on a second job.  I never intended to get oils for free and earn an income.  I had no visions of this business exploding like it has, but I am loving it.
I am so thankful we took the plunge and bought into Young Living a year ago.  Our family is happier, healthier, and wealthier because of it.
