Personal Reflections
The Cost of Health
These questions are so important. Frankly, questions like this ( per industry specifics) aren’t asked nearly enough in nearly every industry we all use (including banking 
) because, we live in an age where convenience usually takes precedent over integrity and value…… all to our detriment.
) because, we live in an age where convenience usually takes precedent over integrity and value…… all to our detriment.
Taking a medication for a symptom is faster than finding a root cause and addressing it in a slower holistic fashion, but…….. at what cost long term? Running through a fast food drive through is faster than meal prepping, but…… at what cost long term? Choosing 2 hrs on the couch watching TV or scrolling is “more relaxing” than working out, but….. at what cost long term? Letting someone else be the primary decisionmaker about your own health is easier than being an informed medical consumer, but….. at what cost long term?I could build a much longer list here, but I think you get what I’m saying.
Do your own research.
Learn which companies value purpose and integrity over profit, and honor them with your business.
There is a priceless value to doing things “the slow way” that extend far beyond a fine wine, well aged cheese, or a loaf of wildcaught yeast sourdough bread.

Chris Bowerbank:
“World Leader in Essential Oils” is emblazoned on Young Living’s Global Headquarters (GHQ) building. I see this every day when coming to work at the D. Gary Young Research Institute.
I like to break it down into specific categories as a stress test to see where we can continue to innovate and lead the #essentialoils market.
For example: World Leader in Essential Oils _________ (fill in the blank).
World Leader in Essential Oils plant research (Tyler Wilson) World Leader in Essential Oils supply chain (Michelle Shinn YL and the SSBO) World Leader in Essential Oils authentication testing (R&D) World Leader in Essential Oils quality testing (Quality Control Laboratory) World Leader in Essential Oils products with purpose (thanks #Gary & Mary!)…and on and on.
Are there areas that #YL can improve? Of course, and that is where those of us who work at Young Living corporate find our drive and inspiration to continue leading our industry.
To give you a #science perspective, we ask questions such as:
Can we improve our EO #distillation technology? Are there #sustainable and responsibly #harvested plant #species that we should evaluate for their EO’s? Are there natural personal care or nutrition ingredients that we should introduce as new or reformulated #YL products?Is Friendship Important?
It’s amazing to me the way life works. We have circles of friends throughout our lives. At work, church, hobbies, volunteering, drama/trauma related, etc. As God aligns your life, those circles simultaneously tighten and expand and you find your tribe. The circles overlap more and more, becoming tighter yet expanding in perimeter… happy to bring another into the family.. It’s so beautiful to witness and actually having the mental space to notice it as it happens. I’m thankful for you!
Farmlife
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!

Protect Our Children
If you think it’s not happening, this event is especially for you. Child trafficking is a multibillion dollar industry (not including the vulnerable sexually abused children who quietly endure outside the actual industry ) in the USA, and it usually begins with grooming. Look no further than the many recent news stories in our local area. Big cities and small towns are all affected. .
