Copaiba is genuinely one of my FOREVER FAVORITE OILS! Anything that helps to target inflammation in the body is one that stays at the top of my list! And this amazing oil does that as well as helps to maintain healthy cardiovascular, immune, digestive, respiratory AND nervous systems! So…basically ALL BODY’S THE SYSTEMS! 🤣🙌✨

Here is a little science behind the oil: “Copaiba oil contains the highest levels of β-caryophyllene (BCP) among currently known essential oils. An irregular cannabinoid and sesquiterpene, BCP is a potent constituent within copaiba essential oil. BCP selectively binds to CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a signaling and regulating system comprised of enzymes, receptor sites throughout the body, and endocannabinoids produced by the body. With cannabinoid receptors found widely in the body and all major organs, the ECS acts as a major regulator of human health. The CB2 receptors in this system are of particular importance because they are mostly found within the immune system. When Copaiba is consumed, the BCP binds to these receptors to aid healthy immune and inflammatory responses.* It also influences multiple signaling pathways to promote healthy liver, digestive, kidney, heart, and brain function.* With its wide influence on key organs, BCP supports general well-being.” (doTERRA)

Whether it’s used topically or taken orally, dōTERRA’s COPAIBA ESSENTIAL OIL helps with all the listed above as well as with pain issues, helps calm and sooth, quiets anxious feelings and supports healthy, deep sleep! My only question…is there anything this oil CAN’T do?!? 😜👍

The past few years I have been praying for a few things that honestly looked impossible. They were areas for our family that for awhile I had accepted as a “struggle” and for one area I had accepted that it would always be that way. Until recently when God asked me to give Him all areas of my life, including the ones I had lost all hope in. Reluctantly, I surrendered them all to Him. And I dared to start praying for God to do what only He could do in those situations. I prayed and fasted. About two months ago, I had a dream one night and in it, God gave me strategy on how to battle in the spirit with one of the situations I had been praying for.

This weekend, He answered TWO of my prayers. 🙌🏻 He gave us breakthrough in two separate areas, (I’m talking MIRACLES, people!) and I can’t stop jumping up and down with JOY!! 🥳 I think my husband and I are still in shock.

I share this with you all because I want it to give you hope….that whatever situation you’re dealing with that feels impossible right now, It’s not impossible for God. He’s soooo kind. Keep praying and believing IN FAITH. And dare to believe God for the “impossible” in your life.

NEED A SERIOUS SUPERPOWER COMBO?! YOU NEED THESE OILS! 🚨💥💪

doTERRA essential oils are not just to help us with moods or help our homes smell great (although they definitely do those things!) but they are SERIOUS IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTERS to help your body maintain healthy cellular function and overall cellular health—aka HELP FIGHT CANCER! These are NOT A CURE but they CAN play a powerful role in assisting your body in eliminating unhealthy cells, regulating the immune system and in detoxifying your body! 🤗

4 of my FAVS for a SUPERPOWER COMBO are DDR Prime Blend, Copaiba, Frankincense and Pink Pepper! These oils specifically are known for helping our bodies get rid of damaged cells (a process called “apoptosis”) as well as helping HEALTHY CELL production and safety from mutation from free radicals! This is AMAZING and POWERFUL STUFF, people!

Just put 15 drops of each of these in a roller bottle and then add fractionated coconut oil in the remainder and you’ve got a great option you can easily ROLL THIS ON THE BOTTOMS OF YOUR FEET or DOWN YOUR SPINE! Using this combo daily will help combat the above mentioned issues and keep your body’s immune system pumped up and ready to fight! I personally use this blend on my boys’ spine and on myself almost every single day. Feels SO AMAZING as a mom to know you’re genuinely helping to keep your family HEALTHY!

This word has been on my heart the past few days as I was prepping for a team call for my business. It’s defined as: “persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.” In a 1995 interview, Steve Jobs said, “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.“

PERSEVERANCE IS A GAME CHANGER because having it means, you go on no matter what is in the way. You remain steadfast in accomplishing the tasks even though they might be difficult. Why?! Because the chances of your success largely depends on your willingness to persist and persevere! If you truly want something, but you quit…you’ll never know if it could have been achieved! So DO NOT GIVE UP!

When our faith is tested—yes, even in our business or work setting—our endurance in those areas has a chance to grow! The more times we have to choose faith over fear, our endurance grows and perseverance TAKES OVER!

Running towards your goals is great, but it honestly doesn’t matter how fast you run. What matters is that YOU KEEP RUNNING, YOU CHOOSE FAITH, YOU PERSEVERE & FINISH WELL!

Even though it’s been cold here in Franklin, we have luckily had a TON of sunshine along with it. So even though I’m not a fan of cold weather 🥶 I’m still trying to get at least a few minutes of sunshine each day and make sure my one year old gets outside in the sun too! ☀️

There have been tons of studies that show even 10-30 min a day, on as much bare skin as possible—yes, that part is a little harder in the winter ⛄️❄️—will get you your natural daily dose of Vitamin D that we all so desperately need to maintain wellness! It is scientifically proven to help improve your mood and your focus by boosting the serotonin levels in your body, as well! (Serotonin is known as the ‘happiness hormone’) 😀🥰

It’s all so important this time of year especially because studies also show that sunlight decreases the risk of depression (seasonal affective disorder—aka SAD—is a VERY REAL THING!) So in the winter months specifically, in addition to upping Vitamin D supplements for our family, (and another cool option I’ll be talking about coming up!) we try to be mindful to take in the sun when it’s shining!

It’s another moment of vulnerability but—genuinely—the reason I’m sharing this is because my heart and passion is to help others get to the root of their sickness, disease, or even minor health issues so they can feel better and live an abundant life.

So while I always have talked on here about healing our bodies on a physical level, I’ve learned over the past few years that sometimes there’s a deeper, spiritual or emotional root to health issues that needs to be addressed. I fully believe all parts of us, the way God created it, work together so that means BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT!
The day my father died (and he & his family rejected me all over again, can read my post from Aug 11 if want for more context), I was laying in my bed crying, and as I turned over, I saw my Armour thyroid prescription sitting on my nightstand and I heard so clearly from God, “that’s from rejection.”

May sound strange…but you see, I’ve done everything naturally that I could ever do to heal my thyroid. Proper foods for thyroid health, supplements, oils, you name it…for years. The rest of my body was completely healed from all health issues I used to have except for my thyroid. And if you look up the spiritual root of thyroid conditions in Dr. Henry Wright’s book, it says “FEAR, STRESS, ANXIETY.” And the root of the fear in my life was from rejection.

Why am I sharing this with you all? Because if you have any health issues (even minor ones), and you’ve done everything you know to do to try to heal that issue, Dr. Wright says that 80% of health conditions have a spiritual root to them So while my thyroid prescription I take isn’t synthetic, it’s still a reminder that I’m not healed YET, but I truly believe it will happen soon! The Lord in His goodness has been delivering me (and my husband…but that’s his story to share) from rejection, and God has been giving us revelation after revelation of just how much He loves & accepts us.

So if you have been trying ALL THE THINGS, looking for answers, doing all the “right stuff” and things still don’t feel like they are aligning, I recommend asking God to show any spiritual or emotional roots that need addressing! He is THE HEALER and no matter what, we can turn to Him for wisdom, guidance and thank Him for His faithfulness in all of it! 🙌

The oils and ingredients included in this blend are Patchouli Leaf (if you’re like me and don’t like the smell of patchouli, it’s hidden by all the other oils in this blend, Bergamot Peel, Hawaiian Sandalwood Wood, Rose Flower, Vanilla Bean Absolute, Jasmine Flower, Cinnamon Bark, Vetiver Root, Labdanum Leaf/Stem, Cocoa Seed, Ylang Ylang Flower…ALL AMAZING! These all also offer a “calming” effect in addition to supporting emotional balance. LOVE IT ALL! 💕 (And it’s definitely something we can all use this time of year!)

We personally love the Birch Benders Paleo waffles for this! We like that it’s a grain free option, which is better for their gut. And then we will use raw sheep or goat cheese, organic lunch meat, lettuce, and whatever other toppings they might like (mayo or mustard, etc!) It is SO EASY and again…a good way to change up the routine for all of us!

So if you’ve had a hard year like we have or maybe you’re going through some hard things right now—God will never let you down! He is GOOD! He ADORES you. He is FOR you. Turn to Him. Surrender it ALL. He will carry you through if you simply let Him! .
As this year comes to a close I am excited for the year ahead and see A LOT MORE FUN for our family in 2020 and A LOT MORE LAUGHTER! ❤️

The soft gels are a great way to fight off sickness as they combine On Guard along with Black Pepper, Oregano, and Melissa essential oils for an immune system punch. So easy to take and makes for a POWERFUL way to fight all the sick junk—especially this time of year. So take these when you feel something coming on or if you’re like me, I’m taking one daily right now so I don’t get any of the junk that is going around. My 7 year old takes these as well to stay healthy or if he’s ever fighting anything. You want to increase to every 3 hours if you’re fighting something. This is our most used product during the winter season, and I’m so thankful for it!
