My Wellness Journey

I grew up drinking diet soda like it was water.  I bought extra strength Tylenol by the family size.  I put very little thought into what I put in (or on) my body. 

​

Then I had kids.  Then my mom received her second cancer diagnosis.  Then my dad passed away after battling lung cancer.   You can't walk through those things without being changed.

​

Six years ago, I had a 3 year old and a 2 year old.  I was tired.  My 2 year old gave me a run for my money and something just had to give.  I noticed that his behavior seemed to get worse whenever he had dyes or lots of sugar.  So we cut those things out.   As I researched, I realized the effects that processed foods were having on our bodies and decided I needed to try to do better there, too.  So I gradually bought more real foods and less processed ones.

​

Next I had to tackle bedtime.  I'm not exaggerating when I say that our bedtime routine lasted over an hour.  Even then my kids would come out of their rooms several times throughout the night.   My grandmother was actually the first one to suggest to me that I try essential oils.  I immediately told her that those things were hocus pocus but she (and the lack of sleep) eventually wore me down.  I decided to try them.  When I tell you that no one was more surprised than I when they actually worked, I truly mean NO ONE was more surprised than I. 

​

Sleepy cream became my bedtime hero and I was hooked ever since.

Six years later, things look a whole lot different in our house and I'm blessed to be part of a community of over 2,000 people who are all aiming to do better.   On a daily basis, I get to hear stories of how peoples' lives have changed.
