March Madness: Floods, Flights, and Fighting for Truth
My Spring schedule is definitely on “in like a lion status”
. In the last 20 days, my office was massively flooded by a broken fire sprinkler system pipe (its a mess, over 100K in damages/cleanup, but i am so grateful for the amazing people/companies who have been helping), I traveled thru 5 states, taught saw and enjoyed the company of a beautiful farming community in Ohio (still need to post pictures on that trip), came home, changed suitcases, ran to Austin to speak as invited testimony in a Senate hearing regarding SB125 which will protect and preserve the right to directed donor blood (THANK YOU Senator Bob Hall for your fierce protection of your bill!!, and to Senator Angela Paxton for co sponsoring it!), met with about 15 other Representatives and Senators later in the day, secured two House Bill sponsors (God bless you Reps Olcott and Shofner), drove home (well, actually, I didn’t drive…. my most precious prayer warrior friend Robin volunteered to help in any way she could, and driving was just one of the many things she did to help), got home about midnight, had a 7am ZOOM call with about 30 Legislators from all over the USA who are interested in creating Legislation like Senator Hall’s Bill, submitted an invited testimony on behalf of a Bill modeled after Senator Hall’s Bill in Rhode Island, had 3 Good Medicine client appts yesterday afternoon, and then went to bed..

.All this to say….. I apologize if I have not returned a call or been slow to respond to emails for the last few weeks.
Have a beautiful Friday!
I’m off to represent www.blessedbyhisblood.com at the National Health Federation conference this weekend. Thankfully, it’s in Dallas, so I don’t have to pack a suitcase…. I’m commuting (would much rather sleep in my own bed with my hubby and cats! )
…. I’m commuting (would much rather sleep in my own bed with my hubby and cats! )(Those of you who know me well know that I’m an introvert and our farm is my happy place. God is stretching and growing me in ways I would have never imagined. My Bible verses [Psalm 119] today were interesting, especially in light of His call to protect the blood on a legislative level, and to bring light to the broken blood donation industry….. it’s not actually broken…. it’s profit centered as opposed to being patient care centered. Happy to talk to anyone who wants to learn more about what I’m doing and why. Not my will, but His. )

Pumpkins For Health
I caught this cutie assessing the pumpkin situation at a local greenhouse this week.

I look at pumpkins and the first thing I think of is Fall deworming for our cows. The seeds have a chemical in them called cucurbitacin which paralyzes roundworms and tapeworms making them lose their slimy little grip on their host and be expelled. (Other species can benefit from this too

….. save, roast and eat those pumpkin seeds! )
Pumpkin seeds also have a compound called beta-sitosterol…. a lovely God made chemical which reduces inflammation and has been shown to support prostate health by reducing symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and help maintaining healthy cholesterol balance.
Pumpkin seed oil is one of the key ingredients in Young Living’s Prostate Health.
I love that YL harnesses the goodness God created for us in very strategic ways!
Relax Your Jaw, Loosen Pelvic Floor
As the song says, it’s not just about the “knee bone connected to the thigh bone”. Fascia, muscles, and ligaments matter too (as do organs and yes, even emotions stored in certain parts of the body).
says, it’s not just about the “knee bone connected to the thigh bone”. Fascia, muscles, and ligaments matter too (as do organs and yes, even emotions stored in certain parts of the body).Did you know that grinding your teeth (also gritting) could have a profound impact on pelvic floor health?
My gal Miranda knows her stuff!

April “No foolin” Freebies
NO FOOLIN’! APRIL IS HERE, AND SO ARE SOME FANTASTIC FREEBIES WITH PURCHASE THIS MONTH!
!Do you know your oils? Remember friends, YL oils are products with a purpose. While smelling great does fulfill a purpose, there are other actions these two house faves accomplish as well.
YL Orange essential oil is happy in a bottle. I recently read a study about the positive/supportive effects of simply smelling orange essential oil on the production of oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a “feel good” hormone that gives us the “warm fuzzies” (it plays a pivotal role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and post-childbirth). When oxytocin is produced, it trumps the production of “fight or flight” cortisol. Considering the amount of stress the average person is under nowadays….. I think “they” should be dumping this stuff from planes! Not likely that will happen…… but we can add it to our diffuser, and “diffuse the situation” or create a happy calm environment in our sphere of influence.

I personally use it internally to support “an unhealthy environment for candida” (3 drops in a capsule…. it comes as a Vitality/white label….. remember that no matter the label color….. it’s the SAME oil inside the bottle. It’s an FDA requirement that if a supplement or RX can be used more than one way, it has to have two different labels). If used topically, it must be diluted with a carrier oil …. it’s a hot oil but it has so many benefits. Check out the Research section on the YL page of each oil. I’ll use Lemongrass as an example here…. all these studies are on the Lemongrass page:

…. our next Reset starts April 10th…. please message me if you are interested in participating)Gut health is one of my passions….. because if your gut isn’t healthy….. guaranteed… you won’t be either. MightyPro is a pre and probiotic for kids and adults alike. It tastes like a treat, but the real treat is that it’s a healthy habit that benefits gut health (and therefore total body health and immune support). Research has shown that poor gut health as a child can have far reaching effects throughout adulthood (poor gut health as a child contributes to developing obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression, and even cancer later in life). It’s TOTALLY worth it to support gut health at all times in life…. not the least of which is as a kid. Get your free bag of MightyPro this month, and begin investing in their future health if you haven’t already been doing so.
This last one…… I think this might be the first time we’ve ever been offered a CBD product for free as a monthly gift! Soothe CBD roll-on is loaded with THC-free, full spectrum CBD, peppermint, Copaiba, and 4 eucalyptus essential oil types. You know I love a multi-use product….. not only will this powerhouse roller be a great addition to the gym bag for sore muscles, it is also a FANTASTIC item to keep on hand when your lungs might not be working so well (ie: you’ve fallen below the wellness line and the respiratory system needs a little TLC).

might not be working so well (ie: you’ve fallen below the wellness line and the respiratory system needs a little TLC).I’m a science girl…. and I realize this post leans heavily on the science side of things…… So thankful that Young Living makes products with a purpose…. and almost always MULTIPLE purposes for each product. They can do that because God made plants to do that for us, and YL just harnesses the goodness He gave us and puts it in forms we can easily grab and go!
