After drinking alcoholically for more than half my life, on January 3, 2011, I finally decided I was tired of being sick and tired.  After a hospital stay to detox from alcohol and 21 days in rehab, my life started to change dramatically. However, the wreckage of my past still haunted me in sobriety. The bills had piled up, and I definitely needed to make up some trust and time with my kids.  Also, my health had declined, and I was sick all the time.

My husband was working his rear-end off, and my part-time job wasn't cutting it. I was desperate for a normal life. To me, "normal" was looking forward to waking every day and living life to the fullest - with my kids.  "Normal" was paying the bills when they were due and not sweating the process.  Normal was staying healthy and not sick every other month.

A friend told me about "these oils" and Young Living. I invited myself to a gathering at another friend's home, and I was introduced to essential oils. They spoke briefly about an opportunity to work for myself.  I was told that if I put the work in, I'd just might be able to pay the bills every month without so much anxiety. I would be able to attend my child's book fair or class trips at school.  I would be able to take control over my health, too. 

I jumped right in and made a small investment in my future.
