Check out My New Wellness Site

The address:  ylwellness.soundconcepts.com/wjthea1684

This site will give you an introduction into why it is important to know the quality of the essential oils you are using.  It shows what must be done to preserve the therapeutic qualities in an oil.  It gives you an overview how this is done and what can be created in your life through the sharing and using of these therapeutic grade essential oil products.

I believe it is worth your time to get educated about what is available that could possibly establish a new standard of health and wellness in your life.



OOPS

Yesterday was a magical day.  I got to talk to some wonderful people that I haven’t heard from in 3 years.  Then I swam 3 1/2  hours late in the evening and started a great novel.  When I got home I forgot my ‘job’ of posting.  I love stay vacations that include reasonable amounts of chocolate (I am doing good) and a great story.

I might have late posts more than once until the heat breaks in mid-Sept.  Just know it is a way of taking care of myself.  How about you?  Any special pampering going on for you??



Do the Right Thing

Many in our society are caring for their parents.  This is not an odious task it is just a part of the journey for many.  I live with my mom who will be 87 and requires no care.  It is just a comfort to her and her children that she has someone here.

My single friend on the other hand has interfering siblings as she assists her parent in making decisions that are necessary at this time in her life.

My friend moved to the town her parent is in so that she could help as needed.  The married siblings don’t live in the town and are stirring the pot.  The parent of course doesn’t want to make anyone mad so may not do what she wants but what her ‘other’ children think is best for her.

I know the Golden Rule is often misinterpreted.  We are to do as we would have others do to us means consider their wishes and carry out their wishes.  Fortunately for this parent she has one child that will ‘do the right thing’.



Change Change Change

It has been said that you can only depend on death and taxes.  You can also depend on change.

When we are rigid, unbending, and controlling change can cause physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges.

When we acknowledge that life flows and we go with that flow we are better able to maintain our physical endurance, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual stamina.

Valor is a great oil for mainting us on all levels through the bumps, squalls, and disasters we call life.



What Is the Best Choice?

What do you do when a person you thought loved and cherished you says or does something so deeply and profoundly hurtful you are thrown into an abyss?

There are several steps that have to be taken. Steps that are a challenge when you are emotionally healthy and more of a challenge when you have been deeply wounded.

1.  Was the event really ‘deeply and profoundly’ hurtful? Are you adding a dimension that isn’t really the truth? (I told you these steps would be a challenge.)  If you decide that this was an act that was truly intentional and deliberate then you must see step 2.  If you believe the act was just another thoughtless action that hurt you, you may want to look at step 2 and make different decisions about this relationship.

2. Look at the big picture.  What is it you want from this relationship? What is it you are getting? If it is a situation where you took vows remember prayer will be your source of power. If you see the big picture and this event can’t be reconciled, forgiven, and put into a perspective that doesn’t forever alter the big picture you have some deep decisions/choices to make.

3.  Let it rest for a time before you make any decisions.  Often when an event occurs in a relationship and you take time to consider its ramifications the change you make will be for your highest good.

I had to look at one of my relatioships recently.  After I went through all the steps I was able to clarify the type of relationship we have, accept it, and stop trying to make it into something deeper.  That for me is a good thing.

Oils that give support are Valor, Clarity, and Stress Away.



Enough Said

Jessie Owens: Inspirational Humorous Quotes

If you are not going to play to win, you might as well hold the Olympics in someone’s backyard.

It’s helpful to remember that for every 1st place finish there are those that don’t place. It is a fact of life. Isn’t it nice to know that our best may not be good enough. I found this out recently. If I didn’t have a realistic view of my capabilities I would be suffering a battered ego.

Two jobs that I applied for didn’t pan out. The one job was seasonal, taxes. I paid to take the companies course and did very well. (They start the new people at $8.25!!) I stayed because, why not. The companies next step was to cut back office hours which means you have a lay-off. The new people go first. After that is implemented you are informed that if you want to work contact the main office. Let’s see-less hours for all the offices so when will we be called in to work?? Once again it is confirmed why I am self-employed.

The other job application was for census taking. I wasn’t hired. Some people that I know were hired and it is a lot of hassles.

I believe that I did my best in both instances and wasn’t suited for either job. The one I worked long enough to know it was a mismatch and the other I am not upset about at all. I know that when I play to win I will always have what I need for my next step.

Ahh the wonderful oils of Acceptance and Highest Potential keep me on this journey to forever.



What to Think

When we are at a place in our lives that enables us to make changes it is important to be thoughtful.  Many who are unemployed stay that way to get the benefits.  Some have no idea how to manifest work.  Others are ill equipped to do anything but what they were doing.

I am fortunate that as an entrepreneur and a person of faith that I know doors will open. I know that opportunites will come and I know that the flow of abundance will keep streaming to me.  One of the things that helps is I have simple needs and very small wants.  I am very content with the basics.  The oils have helped me in nurturing this approach to life.

I use Live With Passion, Magnify Your Purpose, and Highest Potential to keep the flame burning.

Some Faith Thoughts

Three events today that have made me aware of my faith quotient.

I watched a great WW11 movie, Rossenstrasse.  It is  based on a true story.  It caused me to inspect my faith.

The second event today was a phone call giving me extra work tomorrow after today’s client had canceled!!!  (Being self-employed requires faith.)  The third event was getting a bill that was due and it was $400 less than I thought it would be.

May I remember these memorials when I am wanting to go into excessive financial planning.
