Frankincense & Myrrh

· ·

Two of the most well known essential oils, 💧Frankincense and 💧Myrrh, pretty much owe their claim to fame to three wise men over 2000 years ago. Now that’s some kind of successful advertising campaign! 😉


I’ve been celebrating this Christmas season by walking thru a 25 day devotional, “The Soul Felt its Worth”. Each morning has been like an Advent calendar for me as I learn history and relevant Bible verses and theology expressed through 25 traditional Christmas carols.


As I write this, I’m on day 11: “We Three Kings”…..written in 1857 by American clergyman John Henry Hopkins Jr. Spoiler alert…. The Bible never put a number on the wise men who travelled to see infant Jesus ….. Nevertheless, this carol is where we get the 3 kings/wise men from!


Although it’s considered a Christmas hymn, “We Three Kings” is really a poetic tribute to Jesus’ whole life, with Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh representing some very key attributes:
(verse 3)
“Born A King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.”


Gold (referenced in verse 3) has been a sign of royalty, wealth, and power since nearly the beginning of time. Giving the gift of gold to Jesus was an acknowledgement to the birth of the King of Kings.
(verse 4)
“Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high”


💧Frankincense was used in the temple as an incense and anointing oil, and was a symbolic acknowledgement of God and spiritual leadership. (You will be learning so much about the historic healing properties of Frank and Myrrh next week! Stay tuned!!❤ )
(verse 5)
“Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.”


💧Myrrh had many historical uses, including that as a key embalming agent. Its name comes from the word ‘marar’ which means bitterness. For myrrh oil to be attained, the tree’s heartwood must be pierced/tapped allowing the gum resin to trickle out in red droplets called ‘tears’. The gift of myrrh symbolizes Jesus’ earthly a bitter death and subsequent burial. .
And finally, the phrase “Guide us to Thy perfect Light” in verse 2 leads us to the truth of the matter. The kings/magi-astronomers were looking for something far more significant than the bright star they were following. They were looking for THE Light. ☀️
God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. ~ I John 1:5.
Enjoy the journey this coming week friends!

Line Up for Cancer Cells

· ·

You’ll never know something sometimes until you dig. Several years ago, I read a book that opened my eyes to the truth about some of the ingredients in vaccines. Since then, I’ve read everything I could get my paws on, and this knowledge is a large part of my walk away story from corporate pharmacy after 30 years in the business. 
It IS true that, in 2012, the FDA voted to allow the use of human fetal cells and adult human tumor cells  in vaccines, despite knowing that the end result might ultimately result in cancer for the recipient of the vaccine. 
Cell lines are not listed as “fetal tissue” in a vaccine ingredient list…. this is where you’ll have to put your Sherlock Holmes hat on and get to digging. For example, the ingredient,  PER-C6,  looks harmless enough right? It does, until you do the aforementioned digging and realize it’s a fetal cell line from the eyeball of an 18 week old aborted human fetus. “They” take these cells from aborted fetus tissue (and there are several lines… I’m just mentioning one here) and manipulate them until they grow fast,furiously, and forever. Oncologists call cells like this cancer. 
If you’d like to read more about this, head on over to The Children’s Health Defense website or Facebook page. Advocate and freedom fighter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just released a really interesting article about this very thing. 
In the meantime friends, I promise you this……. it will always be easier to avoid illness than to regain health.
Let’s chat!

Christmas Bells

· ·

I’ve been diving in to the history behind some of our well known “vintage” Christmas carols this December. Some of you may have seen them in my FB stories. (I’m doing my best to highlight one per day). 🎄 It’s been so interesting and I’ve gained a much greater appreciation for songs and their backstage stories. 
Today’s archeological dig was especially compelling because it seems like it could have been written this year, and I wanted to share.  
🎶” I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” 🎶was written as a poem in the middle of our country’s Civil War in 1863 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. 
His wife of 18 years had just passed away unexpectedly, and his son had gone to fight for the freedom of all men to parts unknown. Longfellow was notified by telegram on December 1st,  that his son was seriously wounded at a battle during the Mine Run Campaign. He was emotionally devastated by both events and the stress of everyday life during war time.
Yet in his deepest despair, he retained his devout faith in Christ.   
As I read thru the verses of the original song (some of the modern versions have been altered), I was struck by these two in particular:
🎶’And in despair I bowed my head;
“There’s no peace on earth,” I said;
“For hate is strong,
and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The Wrong shall fail, 
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.”🎶
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
God’s not dead friends. He’s very much alive and He corrects injustices in His own timing. Keep the faith. Goodness and loving kindness will ultimately prevail. ❤️🇺🇸🙏
I’ll forever see this Christmas carol in a different way. May the peace that passes all understanding be with you today!

Frozen Shoulder & Hormones

· ·

​If you are in the 40 to 60 something age category (as I am), have you noticed that a number of friends or acquaintances of similar age have complained of shoulder joint pain and stiffness? I used to assume that this was the result of normal wear and tear as we age, and sometimes that is the case. Often tho, I run into people who have shoulder pain and stiffness who cannot recall having had a memorable recent injury. Idiopathic (ie: unknown cause) frozen shoulder usually starts out with a dull or achy pain in only one shoulder, with pain that may extend to the shoulder muscles that wrap around the front of the arm that ultimately leads to long term limited mobility of that joint.  It’s a painful and frustrating disorder because there isn’t really a known cure, and it nearly always “unfreezes” on its own within 6 months to 2 years, although injections to surgery are often recommended by western medicine. 


Idiopathic frozen shoulder (called “50 year old shoulder” in Eastern Medicine)  happens much more often in women than in men, usually between the age of 40 and 60yrs old…… coincidentally around the time hormone production really wanes… specifically estrogen.


When estrogen production decreases significantly, the flexibility of our connective tissue is affected. We may see it visibly as crepey looking skin, but make no mistake…. Your joints are being affected too….. In this case, specifically the shoulder capsule.


Learning what I’ve learned over the last many years, I’ve chosen not to go down this path by doing the following things:
💪Regular full motion exercise (lots of shoulder work)
💪Yoga (faith based for me)
💪Supporting my hormones fully thru perimenopause (early stage) and menopause. I use Progessence Plus (on my forearms and on the carotid artery points on my neck nightly, and I also alternate between PD 80/20 and Femigen (one capsule a day works for me). According to my labwork, tho I am in menopause, my estrogen and progesterone levels have been maintained at healthy levels to keep my body functioning well. (I highly recommend hormone/thyroid labwork on at least a yearly basis if you are wanting physical confirmation of what’s working and what’s not working for you!… if you do not have a way to get this done, please message me and I can help you.)


We are all built very differently, and are at different stages in our lives. If you support your hormones with a Young Living product(s)….. Tell me, what have you found that works for you, and how do you use it?

Freedom Threatened in Texas Now

· ·

Friends, would you mind taking a minute to sign this very important petition (if you live in Texas) .
Do you know how the big box businesses (think Wally World, Amazon, Home Depot etc)  have only thrived since the quarantine and little businesses (think Mom and Pop stores and restaurants you love) have struggled to survive.
Well, the same thing is happening at our Texas state capitol. Big time multi million dollar lobbyists are still wine-ing and dining “those who make the rules” off site at swanky restaurants (etc) while grassroots “for the people” organizations are denied the ability to assemble in our capitol building to plead the case of freedom.
Make no mistake, this post is about choice and freedom, it’s not “anti” anything.
If you think va((ine injury is something that doesn’t happen (or…. that maybe it’s something affecting only some kids), I ask you to reconsider that thought. Do you know someone with an autoimmune disorder? I’d be happy to explain more of the vaccine/autoimmunity relationship if you are interested (pm me).
Medical freedom is something that all 👀 ‘s should be on right now, especially with the oncoming freight train that is the shining in the tunnel. 
Do your research DEEPLY (and on a search engine that is NOT GOOGLE) before you agree to have any va((ine injected into your body. Understand this, what you don’t know CAN hurt you…. and in the case of what’s coming, understand that your genetics (that means your eggs or sperm too) will be forever altered. Is it worth the risk for a virus with a %.03 (or less) mortality rate?
This is not a political party issue, this is a health freedom and Constitutional Rights issue.
Please consider signing the petition and also, should you feel led…. please consider donating. TFVC are fighting for all of us 🙏🇺🇸💝.
