The view from here wasn’t pretty this morning . I wouldn’t trade farmlife for anything despite the curveballs North Texas weather throws at us. I will say, challenging days like this separates the farm folk from the city dwellers. I think back to our ancestors and admire them so much. I’m pretty tough and willing to do hard things on the regular, but the thought of our people in covered wagons or sod houses (both of which were part of my family’s history) in this kind of rain….I can’t imagine not having a dry warm place to retreat to with running water to rinse off all the mud.
Our ancestors (all of ours), were made of tougher cloth, or we wouldn’t be here . They endured life in ways we can’t easily imagine. I daresay, our current combined generations would have a hard time surviving if “common comforts” were taken away. It’s a good thing to get uncomfortable sometimes. It reminds us of our basic luxuries and it is in our uncomfortableness that we are most often innovative and experience growth.
That’s how I started my own health journey when I was in my 30’s. I was uncomfortable enough with my health situation that I was willing to seek a better way. 20+ later I thank God for that uncomfortableness!

Young Living Foundation Expedition
Oh my word…. I just found this in my email. I wish I could go this year. Did you know that Young Living offers opportunities like this? I know Chris Packer and I can promise that you will not be disappointed in the amount of unique knowledge you’d acquire should you be lucky enough to go on a trip like this.
Bucket list……
If you go, promise me you’ll send me pictures and tell me your story afterwards
God’s creation is so amazing down to the tiniest details!
—Plants Produce and Store Essential Oils Within
Essential Oils within the Plant Parts
Essential oils found in trees, bushes, seeds, roots and leaves are produced by cells WITHIN the center of the plant. Most of these central cells resemble beach balls or drinking straws.
Essential oil in SEEDS: carrot, anise, fennel, dill, caraway
Essential oil in BARK: cinnamon bark, cassia bark
Essential oil in ROOTS: valerian root, ginger root, vetiver root
Essential oil in LEAVES & NEEDLES: cinnamon leaf, pine needles, fir needles, spruce needles
Essential oil in TREES: pine, fir, spruce, juniper, cedarwood, sandalwood, hinoki
Essential oil in OLEOGUM-RESIN: frankincense, myrrh, copaiba, elemi, pine, spruce
Essential oil in FLOWER PETALS: rose, ylang ylang, clove bud, neroli
Essential oil in CITRUS PEELS: orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, mandarin, lime
Aromatic plants produce and store essential oil molecules on the surface and central regions of leaves, stems, roots, seeds, flowers, and wood. You’ve experienced plant essential oils many times and may not have known it.
EXPERIMENT. Go to your spice rack or drawer. Take out each spice and take a whiff. Now do the same for essential oils. You will find the aroma is STRONGER for the essential oils because their aroma is concentrated. ……..Cole Woolley, PhD. #colewoolleyphd
Yes!

So I heard yesterday that the beloved brand Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar was bought out by Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and some other investors in 2019, and changes to the product (negative ones ) are beginning to surface. No more Braggs for this household of ours.
Know your product and know it well friends.
Perhaps it’s time to learn to make our own . It’s a fairly simple process…. just takes a little patience.
Happy National Opossum Day!
If you would have told me we’d fall in love with a ‘possum a year ago, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have believed you.
Yet here we are….. celebrating one of the most maligned creatures God ever made!
They truly are amazing little mammals!
