New Year

From Dec 1st I've been sleep med free!! Hooray!
Don't sleep alot but I'm supposed to have about a year of withdrawl from the meds I've been on.  I do have a thing or two to say to my Doctor!

BUT POSITIVELY --
I'm into Essential Oils - Love them! 
I started with doTERRA in November!!

MY STORY:
The Elders Quorum President in our ward has worked with me to come up with Emergency Prep Items and asked me if I was interested in learning about essential oils.  Probably the only reason I said 'Yes' is that I don't see him as someone who would go for strange and way out kinds of things (he's one of the most down to earth, common sense kind of guys, I know) so I was curious.  The day I went to my first oils class to learn about them,  Michelle (His wife) offered me a couple of her oils to try.  I wasn't going to buy anything unless I thought they did me some good.  When I went home that day I had a headache.  She had offered me lavender to try for sleep issues.  I looked it up and lavender was one that is used for headaches so I put some on my neck.  A couple minutes (yes minutes) later I realized my headache was gone!! I couldn't believe it.  I use lavender and peppermint the first sign of a stress headache/neck ache and I haven't used one pain med since then. (Nov)   Also for a while I was waking up with a headache and thought it was sinuses - I started putting 'Breathe' on my nose before I went to bed for a couple of nights, and the morning sinus headache never returned!)
I was sold!     Now I use lots of them and love them! (Tell you the truth, I still hardly believe it myself.)

My favorites - plus uses (there are lots more uses)

Gatherings


The guys hangin out!

I thought I had more pictures - looking for the camera - well what do you know, it's still in Salt Lake at Tony and Sherry's.   Gathered everything else and the camera got left behind at the Mills side family party.  I'll post more when we can get it.   (Tried to post a video of Claytin - not working - rats!)

Sunday - I subbed in RS. First time I've taught in a long time. Neat lesson on the Sacrament.  Dad helped me get a copy of Elder Eyring's Christmas Devotional talk on the computer so I could share a segment from it... Worked out neat!   Remember when we had pictures of Christ, and those cards I made for you kids to look at during the Sacrament??   If they hold a good memory share with me...
