Online Safety | Instagram/FB IS Spying on Us

I used to be a big online social activist, it “brought people together”, “helped to stay connected”…

False! Especially where “social media” is concerned…

This has happened to me more than a few times, however being much more consciously aware I took a screen shot of what I saw after what had happened.

Back up a couple days, I was sitting at my desk in my office at work. My mom and sister were standing across my desk, approx 5-6 feet from me and approx 6-7 feet from my phone. My phone was on, but the screen was locked so what I would consider “locked” and not accessible.

Mom was talking about something she had ordered and was told it would be in before Christmas and then suddenly the manufacturer cancelled the stores orders saying they couldn’t fulfill it. Unfortunately something we have experienced more than a few times this fall/winter.

I have NOT been on social much. Truthfully Facebook has been deleted from my phone and once my daughter gets a phone number Instagram will be as well. I opened instagram later that afternoon as my daughter had messaged me, and look what came up in the top of me feed.

I have NEVER looked up this company or these products on my phone. I have NEVER looked up this company or products on my work or personal computer.

Yet the same day my mom TALKED about this company name IN my office 7 feet from my phone… which was locked… Instagram begins showing me ads for this!?

As I mentioned this isn’t the first time, the time before I distinctly remember was when a family member was looking for a new vehicle and again TALKED about the vehicles they had looked at near me and my phone. Later that evening opening Insta I get an ad asking if I am “still interested in this vehicle”. I was never interested, I never looked up the vehicle on my phone OR my computer.

This is concerning. This year alone there has been some very weird things happening with anything online and cell phones. The google minis we bought in the past began having a mind of their own and are unplugged alot now. My phone will begin searching things through google, without me saying “ok google”.

One day at work, my cell phone lit up and showed a missed call, yet my phone never rang and I was sitting beside it the entire time. It showed a missed call and a voicemail, so I listened to it. The voicemail was a snippet of MY OWN voicemail message!

Friday night talking to a friend about this, she mentioned the movie “Snowden”. The husband and I watched it this afternoon and yup pretty much confirms already what I was thinking. We are being listened to through our devices by these big social media giants and the governments… shady shady shady!

This year has taught me so much, its pushed me, pulled me, broke me down to my knees and tears at points, but I have risen and I keep rising up. There is more people waking up to the world wide control and abuse that has been “allowed” for far too long. I am honestly eager to see what 2021 will bring with this great awakening that is among us all!

Are we safe online? I know one thing that’s for sure, I feel more safe writing on my blog than I do posting on social media. Helps that there is less social media warriors there too 😉 Stay focused my friends, I can feel the awakening happening!

Penning Your Reality | Daily OM

Earlier this week I mentioned to my husband about getting somethings done at home this weekend, including some down time for all of us to recharge.

Interestingly enough I read my horoscope this morning, “Penning Your Reality” and it was completely aligned with my evening and weekend plans 😉

“Today may be the start of a period where spending time alone with your thoughts or writing in a journal can feel very fulfilling. You may want nothing more than to settle into a comfortable armchair in a quiet corner of your home with a pen and paper, a book, or a scholarly publication. Reading, studying, writing, or reciting can all satisfy your need for thoughtful activity today. Journaling may help you catalog your thoughts, dreams, and future plans. If you’ve never written for yourself before, you may find inspiration in the journals of writers, great thinkers, spiritual leaders, or public figures. An empty notepad and a pencil may be all you need today to expand on your goals and draft a plan that makes them reality.

Writing and reading what you have written can be a wonderful way to reflect upon your life in the present, past, and future. When you put your thoughts into writing, they become concrete and can help you know yourself better. If you write down a problem, you can store it and reapproach it later. You can look back over what you have written and see your ideas and goals clearly because time does not camouflage or change them. It becomes easy to see how you have changed, which can help you achieve a greater level of self-awareness and can facilitate personal growth in the future. In writing, we are often more honest with ourselves than we are in our own minds. When you write today, your thoughts and feelings will take on a new completeness.” (Source Daily OM)

This is living in alignment. Listening to your true heart and soul. Honoring your inner being and not allowing worry, fear, uncertainty (aka government) to invade any of your truth and well-being. With Christmas approaching, much like every other year, we spend it with loved ones. This year will be much different, which we have known, however I cannot hide that I am completely disappointed in our governments for purposely pushing loved ones apart during the holiday season and injecting more fear into all of our lives.

So for tonight, we will not listen to any news whatsoever (we rarely do), will focus on our life within the walls of our home and embrace the health and happiness we have created there and look forward to celebrating the reason for the season with the loved ones we will see. At this time of year, what people need most is to BE with loved ones. I will embrace my books – Awakening Intuition and Master Of You and focus on what I WILL create in life in alignment with my soul! Focus on the collective change we have already been witnessing happening.

All is well and all is happening as it should at this time. Growth, Peace and Grace ❤

The Book To Read | 2020 Wrap-Up

This evening as I returned home from work, I prepared to enjoy a nice hot bath with my salts, oils and a book! I started Master of You on the weekend, but was pulled to pick up this one tonight.

As I looked at the book, questioning why not Master of You (which is amazing, but for me is meant to read with a notebook!), I knew there was something I needed to read in this one, Awakening Intuition by Mona Lisa Schultz.

I added some Epsom salts with 2-3 drops of Tea Tree, On Guard and Balance; into the water. A nice hot soak with my book!

As I opened the book to page 162 and began reading, I knew exactly why I was pulled to open this book.

The importance of building up our emotional strength and immune defense.

I highly recommend this book, to read as we wrap up 2020 and welcome the bright light of 2021! 💫🙏💕

The Common Denominator

As I have been much more conscious about the foods I eat, drinks I drink and products we use within our home, I am also more conscious about figuring out WHY I may feel the way I feel in any given situation.

The common denominator and also keeping in mind that actions have consequences.

Since shifting to a holistic lifestyle my body LOVES being healthy, loves living a healthy life where I truly do thrive. It has also gotten really good at letting me know when something is not right…

Sunday while doing groceries I saw at the grocery store a beautiful big ham hock on sale, so I picked it up for dinner that night – with full intentions of also being able to enjoy left overs a few times.

The ham was good, albeit salty, very very salty, so Sunday I made sure to drink a lot more water. What I wasn’t expecting was what happened that evening…

I barely slept. My legs were incredibly restless. All night. I first blamed it on the magic bars that I enjoyed as dessert after dinner. I am blessed to have a daughter who loves to bake and has been very open to learning to bake gluten free for her mama! I was up literally every hour peeing. I felt horrible. I couldn’t sleep no matter what I tried. I chalked it up to “too much sugar”. During the day the way I felt didn’t get better. My digestive system was not happy with me at all. Bloating (which began the night before and I chalked up to the high sodium) continued into Monday as well and after lunch, which was left over meat (cold) made into a bowl with some veggies and rice (cold) from the night before, my body quickly advised me this was not happening.

Last night, two days later, we used some of the meat in a casserole with pasta and corn. Both of which I have eaten and had no issues with. Last night, our son had a late hockey practice and after getting home and laying in bed my legs started up the same they did Sunday night. Intensively restless and I simply could not get comfortable. I took an Adaptiv before bed, which helped and I slept until about 3am (having went to bed just before midnight). After 3am, much like Sunday night, I could not sleep or get comfortable. It hit me… it was NOT the sugar the other night, it was 100% the ham.

I looked up online the product info and found the following ingredients that the ham was cured with: Water, Dextrose, Salt, Sodium Phosphate and Sodium Nitrite.

Initially when I read that I read the last as Nitrate, which I know cause me major restless legs, but then I re-read it and realized it said Nitrite… As I have read both of these can occur naturally, however much like my holistic lifestyle shift I choose to base ingredients on HOW I feel because we are all different. However, under certain conditions in the human body, nitrite can damage cells and also morph into molecules that cause cancer.

To be completely honest, we have shifted our meat purchasing to our local butcher, because with any of his products my digestive system is completely OK! What I find interesting is this quote, “There’s no difference whatsoever in the nitrite that you get from cured and processed meats versus what you get from vegetables. It’s the same molecule.” IF this is the case, why do I not get these adverse reactions from vegetables… I simply don’t.

This reminds me of my years fighting with the doctors that something was wrong and I kept being told I was “within the normal ranges” and was fine. My gentle nudge to you as a new year 2021 goal… deeply listen to yourself, your soul, from within. You will be guided to what is right for your body and mind, mentally and physically.

Fear From What?

I continue to be amazed the more I learn about how connected our physical and emotional health is intertwined with our energy.
I originally began writing this post back on April 20, 2018.

My son has seen our local holistic chiropractor a few times last year (2017). He asked me if he could go back and see him (Spring 2018). I said sure of course, and asked him why he felt he needed to see him. My son said he didn’t really know but felt like he did. I have learned to trust my own intuition and encourage my children to do the same. So I called and booked an appointment.

We went to the appointment and the Dr, as an intuitive holistic chiropractor and energy worker, could sense his energy. He did some work and picked up on my son’s fear of dying.

Initially my very first thought was, “What! why is my boy afraid of dying?!?” As a mother, this hit me emotionally quite hard… Then the truth of it hit me.

I told the Dr that when I was in labour with him, he was in distress and I was rushed in for an emergency c-section. However prior to rushing me in for a c-section the doctor, first asked me what I wanted to do… As a new young mom, who endured an almost 1.5 yr battle with infertility, all I wanted was my baby safe. The doctor then decided I should push for at least 20 minutes. This did not result in our son being born vaginally and I was then rushed to surgery. While in distress his heart rate increased significantly to a very high and alarming rate. I was terrified of losing my baby and unsure of what to do. Our son was born with the umbilical cord around his neck and had to be in the NICU for 3 days while they got an infection under control.

Our son had a deep fear within him that was affecting him mentally and emotionally for years. There were many nights he had night terrors, would wake up in absolute terror and at times inconsolable. As a parent this was emotionally devastating and challenging.

What Dr Peter was describing to me made perfect sense. Especially when he did not know our back history of his labour and birth.

So incredibly grateful for our boy’s safe arrival. A memory that also feels like it was just yesterday for me… and apparently deep within my son’s soul as well, that he wasn’t necessarily aware of.

Since seeing Dr Peter, having his energy worked on and continuing to balance energy and use oils within our own home our son continues to move forward. He is now sleeping much better. I am so grateful I listened to my son when he asked that day for me to make an appointment, and then listening to my intuition to balance energy when needed.

Our emotional and mental health, along with times in our life without a doubt has a direct relation to your physical health. It is when we come into alignment of this that we truly thrive!

Our Holistic Lifestyle Shift

Life is always a work in progress. At least that’s my belief. No ones life is absolutely perfect, but it’s perfectly ours, continually learning everyday!

I’ve found deep inspiration this fall and winter from Cate Stillman with her book Body Thrive and the one I am just getting into Master of You! I have also started Cate’s course “Change Your Life Training” through her Yoga Healer site. I dove into this training Sunday and its already so good! Im excited to continue with this while adapting Master of You into my life as well! Check out this training, she is offering an awesome discount that makes it affordable for anyone!

These habits in Body Thrive have helped open up my consciousness even more into what a holistic shift means to me and what I want to model for my children.

Which of these habits are you missing from your lifestyle?

Is my life perfectly aligned with this, not everyday, however I am being consciously aware and pulling myself back to the basics even more now.

One of the true soul benefits of 2020. With limited places to go and people to see, we are forced to get comfortable with our true selves. An amazing opportunity to educate and empower within our own homes!

When we know better we can do better. I tell my kids all the time, I’m still learning and always will! Our lifestyle shifts, sometimes significantly, other times subtle.

Holistic for me means…

A lifestyle as a whole, with growth, ups and downs, to experience our feelings and embrace the journey within our health, body, heart and soul in alignment with our true self and nature.

“Your Life As Art” is what each of us deems priceless within our own life. For me, the more in tune I am with my physical and emotional body, the more I truly thrive, in so many ways.

Our holistic lifestyle shift began back in 2014 and continues everyday with us now. What feels light, is right. I am loving this mantra. I know that heavy feeling in my body when Im faced with a decision, when it feels heavy, there is a reason my inner self is hesitating, because when it feels light, its right.

One thing our holistic shift has taught me is that nature knows best and when aligned with nature and our body’s natural rhythms our mental and physical health thrives in a beautiful way ❤

Being An Empath In The Real World

The real world means at times dealing with negative or un-authentic people. Something that can be truly challenging as an Empath.

My job is 9.8/10 dealing with truly amazing people. The other 2% can truly ruin my day and this is something I am being much more conscious and purposeful about.

Over the years I have learned to trust my gut, now more so than ever. I can spot a lie or scam a mile away. Unfortunately sometimes its too late and this is where I can be hard on myself or feel this anger build up inside of me of HOW or WHY people could do this and how do they sleep at night.

  1. Journal and Read. The biggest lesson is getting my mind right each morning and each night before going to sleep. Literally brain dump whatever is in my head before bed. Goodness does that ever help. Just like reading inspirational pieces, ones that align beautifully in my life but also push me to be my true self.
  2. Meditate! I am still enjoying the Oct/Nov Meditation – “All Is Well” by Angela Kontgen. When I feel like I cannot slow my brain down or Im too up in my head or thinking too much about something beyond my control, I now know I NEED to meditate.
  3. Take action where I can make a difference. This can feel so challenging and like an up hill battle at times. However I am a firm believer in being true to your word and being truly authentic. When I deal with people who aren’t and are choosing to lie, cheat the system and take advantage of people, I look at how I can shift this. Its quite frustrating I will admit, especially when trying to challenge government who allows people to do this, with not much recourse. However, I am a firm believer that if we all just sat back, nothing would change. So its good to step up and use my voice.
  4. Supplements and healthy eating. Actions and consequences. My body has gotten really good at letting me know if I have eaten or drank something its not fond of. The same goes for neglecting my vitamin and mineral supplements, which can happen when I am too up in my head. As Ive said to my kids, what do most of us crave when we are feeling super emotional (um hello 2020)… salt and sugar! Fight that urge, or find a great alternative!
  5. Oils! These beauties are not only amazing to perk me up, wake up my brain, provide calm and peace and also cleanse the air. Start the diffusers in the morning and bedtime!

Ive been reading about this “pause” and “great reset” and think now is the time people need to be digging down deep within and finding our own truth – not what the news says, not what school says, not what the government says. What is truth to each of us individually. I know I think of many sides of government and its like a fire is lit within, its not a good feeling at all, it feels really off, bad, uneasy, not trusting at all. Recently yes this has to do with a very bad man who is literally taking advantage of a lot of innocent people and yet no government authority who over see’s his business regulations, will do a thing. He continues to operate while purposely being a fraud.

This is why Ive been reminded this week how important it is to stand in my own truth. Protect my energy. Protect the energy of the business I work in and help operate and the people within. Trust in the process that one day this person will not be allowed to do this anymore.

However then I am reminded of a very similar man years ago. Who did a very similar thing, hired work out in the 10’s of thousands of dollars (actually a lot more), didn’t pay and who has the rights… the crook. The government allows these people to hide behind corporations or put things into only their spouses name. Not only that but a few people who have done this to us, for legitimate work done, their spouses covered for them AND … to boot… these spouses were government paid employees!? Mind blowing right…

Empaths are the wave of the future. We truly are. We can sniff out a fraud, scam, lie with our eyes closed and heart open. Its just at times our hearts can be open a little too much. The pull of the heart strings of these people who can sweet talk, with zero good intentions behind their voice. It means putting some hard boundaries up and sometimes saying a firm NO.

I am trusting that change will happen, but that will only happen when us Empath’s trust our energy and trust for pushing for what’s right and standing up against what is not right. There is a very very blurred line right now, which is scary, yes. Especially for people running a business and those of us who know our health rights and how our health thrives with nature.

I read a beautiful quote today that made me think…

“If they can make the entire world population wear masks in 4 months, why can’t they make the entire world eat vegetables or exercise? If you can close businesses at will, without a thought for anyone’s livelihood, why not close the junk food producers or the porn industry? If junk food, alcohol and cigarettes kill 21 million people every year… why are those items constantly available?”

When I read this, it aligned with exactly how I was feeling yesterday and today of the government agencies who are allowing this man to operate multiple businesses all while meeting their regulations, yes, but being fraudulent by not paying the people who are bringing his facility(ies) up to code… is that right? Nope!

Much like these “health restrictions”, as an empath I know how critical “restrictions” are to health (mental and physical). Flip the switch to Health Education and Empowerment. Educate on the importance of ingredients and make these major corporations stand up and be responsible for the ingredients in their products, how and where they are made and who makes them. This is so key. Responsibility. But not just responsibility, understanding and education of truth.

After reading Body Thrive, I felt inspired to be more conscious in my daily living. What I was eating, drinking, when I was waking, house chores, the overall feeling in our house. It’s a true lifestyle.

I am so excited, especially this week to embark on my next journey. I started Master Of You this past weekend. A 5 point system to synchronize your body, your home and your time with your ambition!

Being an empath in this current real world, is challenging, its pushing me more than I have ever felt pushed in my life. Pushed to know and be firm in what I am and what I believe. Pushed to be true to me and honor that. To feel any feelings and be ok with whatever time that takes. To know there will be negative moments of whatever kind, but to always feel through and then pull back up to where I feel balanced. Where I grow and flourish 🙏💕

Friday Night Musings | Chicken Parm & Holistic Health

Always look back and reflect on how far you have come, not focusing on what you possibly haven’t achieved or that “to-do list”!

Including the path it took to get there.

My body used to cripple under stress. I spent many winters sick off and on multiple times. Stress was a huge factor. My immune system was quite weak. My health also not my top priority. I would almost freeze and be unable to move forward. That was then, this is now.

In the past 6 weeks alot has shifted in our life. Personally and professionally. There are times in life when you literally have zero control and are forced to go with the flow and navigate to strength.

The old me 5+ years ago, in these past 6 weeks I would have been an emotional and physical mess. Straight up we have had some very stressful moments, I have felt every kind of emotion I could have. That affected not just us at home, but for both of us at work as well. Exactly 6 weeks ago today.

And yet, so much has shifted.

With the current restrictions on top of my husbands accident, I haven’t been “pushed” like this in a lot of years.

I’ve been pushed to grow, alot. Pushed to step up in a very big way. To be ok with the unknown, to be ok with things outside of my control, to trust.

Admittedly there has been extra strain because we are both personal and professional. My husband, along with the rest of our team work together, collectively. I am so completely grateful for each and everyone of them. The compassion and understanding has been so supportive.

As I was standing in our kitchen preparing dinner tonight, it dawned on me.

If this was 5+ years ago, at this moment with what all has gone on, I wouldn’t be healthy. Straight up, I wouldn’t be. Given our ups and downs the past 6 weeks, I without a doubt wouldn’t be able to sign in everyday to say I am healthy to work.

This was a beautiful revelation. Once in a life of go, go, go, not really listening to my body, heart or soul, now forced to slow even more, spend alot more time indoors as my husband heals and as the cold weather is upon us.

Rather than allow the sleeping dragon to wake and take complete control, I lean into the feelings, allow myself to feel them and continue moving with compassion and understanding. Also important to encourage our kids to do the same, lean into those feelings and actually FEEL them, so they can be processed in our body and mind, vs repressing. Continue pushing forward. Honoring my emotional and physical health. Knowing it’s ok to lean in, it’s ok to honor my need for downtime, it’s perfectly ok to have breakfast or grilled cheese for dinner!

I was feeling a bit stagnant, not long before my husband fell. I remember thinking multiple times that I just couldn’t get myself “going”, like I did “before”, but I didn’t shift forward. Sometimes life gives us this gentle nudge. A reminder of what and who is really important. Because the truth of the matter is, “before”, I may have been more productive BUT I honestly wasn’t honoring or allowing myself to FEEL my feelings!

Even “simple” things like making dinner, could throw me off depending on the situation (aka stresses), thinking of making dinner with multiple steps and dishes, the old me would make every excuse in the book and then end up saying F it, just order something or grab those boxes in the freezer (ex. Boxed processed chicken fingers) and then park myself on the couch.

Tonight, I leaned into our dinner, I embraced the process. While our son helped my husband, our daughter gave me a hand in the kitchen. I leaned in and created our home made GF chicken parmesan with fettuccine alfredo and ceasar salad! Yum! Normally I would make every excuse in the book, because of the “process”. I’ve found the best help is not focusing on the time. At all. Being aware of what time it is, yes, but in a constructive way setting timers and going with the flow. Vs focusing on the time or “everything that I need to do” and allowing that to shift and increase anxiety, that’s when the “I don’t have time” worries can flow in. Combat that with just doing, and there will be time, there will be more than enough time!

One of my best tips, the timer. As I was creating the meal, I began thinking of how I have shifted and how proud I was of myself. I wanted to sit down and just write, I find so much comfort in writing, allowing my words to flow and honor my feelings. Once I got dinner IN the oven, I had 10 minutes before the next step of the process, that was my time to sit and begin writing. Words and photos are so impactful for me. Especially when I can SEE the shift!

I share this because at this time in 2020 our mental health (and for many, physical health as well) has been negatively affected, no matter who you are, and the government continues to push mad fear, which is so very harmful to our health.

This year has also provided awesome learning lessons with our health and happiness for our kids, we all learn with actions and consequences. Like connecting the dots from, I ate (or drank) this and now feel like this… is it related?! Ah the Joy’s that can come with emotional eating!

I encourage and have consciously been using oils a LOT more in our home. Pull myself out of my head and back into my body. I love how these oils can honestly shift our health, cleanse the air and smell awesome! It’s what our health and homes need right now! Natural health. I am meditating, supporting my body with other natural holistic options like herbs and vitamins. Boosting my immune system. Leaning in and feeling the feelings.

The past 6 weeks, especially, going from two very involved individuals in the business and our home and family life, to literally, going with the flow and doing what I can. Appreciating more home time and embracing all that we have created, together.

I am proud of the new me. I am proud of following my heart over 6 years ago to seek out the missing link to our healthy home, and to lean into the experience, whatever that may be!

Our diffuser blend tonight, I literally did not know what oils to pick… so I closed my eyes and selected off our wall.

  • Citrus Bliss – Creativity
  • Geranium – Love and Trust
  • Petitgrain – Ancestry

Our home was filled with a beautiful scent that also assisted in shifting our moods 🙏💕

The Energy Re-Direct | Dark To Light

This weekend, while I was prepping the living room for the darkness removal, I got to thinking about how as much as 2020 has been so unpredictable, anxiety driven, fear filled. We truly have been forced to redirect our lives.

Do I agree with the extremes the government is placing on us? No. Not in the very least, loved ones need each other, people need human connection, more than virtually. This “virtual” and “social media” online is a farce, that is not real life and never should be. I refuse to think this is our “new way of living”. That will kill more people than a virus. However I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. So… the re-direct!

From darkness comes light.

I’m sure many will agree, 2020 has been a pretty dark year. I strongly feel the beautiful light is coming.

In 2020 the government has literally forced people all over the world to spend the majority of their time in their homes, alone or with the people who also live there.

It is my hope for all, that during this time even one thing could have improved that perhaps there “wasn’t time for” before.

As I stood in our kitchen making my lunch, my fav kind… a bowl of left over chicken and pasta with an avocado, some feta, mustard and greek feta dressing; I felt completely at peace in our home and our life.

Something resonated for me the other night as I was reading about feng shui in the home.

In this article, she talks about Feng Shui House Basics To Prevent Fatigue. One of the points is a dark narrow hallway. How it can make you feel constricted. “If your home has dark, cramped hallways you’re literally being squeezed to the bone. Energy is being squeezed out of you. Hang some mirrors, paint the hall white, add pictures of nature, and install better lighting to boost you up.”

This instantly resonated with me. I absolutely love our house, but something has felt energy sucking, which was so conflicting because I am thrilled with the changes we have made.

This wall completely makes sense. It’s the main focal point in our home and then leads back to bedrooms and bathrooms. I could feel the energy and exactly how this article described it.

This article completely motivate me to get my buns in gear and remove the darkness. The result has me beyond thrilled. I even added a beautiful canvas that can be seen from the entrance, dining room and kitchen of water flowing over river rocks.

It was a lot of work BUT so worth it! Walking into our home now feels completely at peace, without hesitation!

A great reminder in life, the darkness is never strong than the light. Always reach for the light, its filled with peace, grace, ease and truth! ✌

Holistic Health | Broken Bones & Skin Healing

I am truly grateful when we require the assistance of our modern medical system in Canada. In the past 5+ years we have required this care a small number of times. Those occasions were mainly due to broken bones or sprains. When my husband fell back in October, he not only had broken bones, he also required surgery.

Once we got him home and I was able to assist with his healing journey we instantly got the oils out to do their work in supporting his healing process and body.

His break and incisions were covered for the first two weeks so we focused on using the oils on his back. Knowing the oily benefits would get to where they needed to be.

I began supporting his healing process with the Symphony of Cells Inflammation Protocol. Knowing what his body had been through, the required healing and seeing how swollen his leg was. I applied the oils on his back every other day for the first week and a half.

We found this protocol to be successfully supportive to his healing and the inflammation that was currently in his body.

After about 6 weeks there was still 1 spot on his leg that wasn’t closing up. The home care who was coming once or twice a week, had iodine patches that they put on this spot to assist in its healing (that pulled the scab off every time it was changed). I honestly held myself back. I allowed myself to “trust” in the medical system to help him heal. It was after 6 weeks when I suggested I make up our own spray to see if that would help the spot heal… My husband was open to this, knowing how powerful Helichrysum is, which I would be adding into the blend. I sprayed this mixture on his ankle and leg and the bleeding stopped. It started slightly with movement, because of where the apot was, however we did not use the iodine patches anymore. As home care only came 1-2 times a week we were cleaning and changing the dressing at least 1-2 days and the healing was profound!

Not only did the spot close up and begin to heal, the rest of his leg also benefitted and the skin began healing even better!

The oils I used in the spray were Helichrysum, Tea Tree, Frankincense and Lavender. Topped off with fractionated coconut oil. All oils supportive to the skin and healing. Also all natural and recognizable to the body. (Pictured is the Helichrysum touch, for the blend I used the undiluted oil.)

What if in 2021, we all began trusting ourselves first?!

Yes modern medicine plays a part in helping us get back to where we previously were or fighting an illness. However, what if there weren’t any ingredients that were allowed to be in our various products, which cause these illnesses. Or what if we relief more on plant medicine to holistically shape our wellness, first in our homes. To step away from needing a manufactured “pill” to make us feel better or reduce symptoms. What if for 2021 we all learned that our best health is getting to the root of the issue and aligning with what our body truly needs.

My husband required quite extensive surgery, obviously that is something that couldn’t have been fixed at home. There quite obviously is a time and place for modern medicine, such as broken bones, which to be honest is pretty much the only reason we have entered a medical clinic or hospital (apart from a loved one being there) in many, many many years. True healing takes a look at the big picture, which is what we facilitated in our home with my husband’s healing.

Why? Because I know first hand the power of nature’s medicine, the power of holistic healthcare. How easily our body recognizes nature and it all “works” together.

I honestly can see within 2021 even more people taking this leap to true health freedom. To know that they have the power to KNOW. That no single “treatment” will work the same for every single person, because we and our lifestyles are ALL different. True health care embodies the mind, heart and soul.

I am grateful for the tools we have in our home and also to trusting my inner self to follow what I knew was right, for my own health to influence and model the success for my own family.
