Monday. 

This Monday has been filled with so many joyous moments. Often holidays can bring up a lot of different emotions for many people but for me I'm blessed to have  mostly happy times. I have a wonderful group of friends and family members and was blessed to be able to spend some time with them while being back in NY for Thanksgiving time. 

 One of my favorite quotes that I just rediscovered is; "I could have. What does this phrase mean? At any given moment in our lives, there are certain things that could have happened but didn't. The magic moments go unrecognized, and then suddenly, the hand of destiny changes everything." 

It made me think twice, to think about the moments that we don't always realize are passing us by and if we had taken the time to pay attention our life might have taken a different turn.  You can't always sit around thinking about the 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' but every once in awhile it can be useful to take a moment and learn from some of the choices you made. 

There are a lot of positives to this Monday! 
Top three things that brought me happiness on this Monday
  • Oiling up! I applied an oil I just got this month, Higher Unity!! It's a magical blend of  It is a
    luxurious and rich blend of Sacred Sandalwood™, Sacred Frankincense™, Lime, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Spearmint, Lemon, Jasmine, and Rose oils! It brings a beautiful level of calmness to your day 🙏
  • Taking a water aerobics class with my mom at her gym! I haven't done this in over 10 years and it was just nice being present with her in the water. 💪 
  • Spending time today working on my business, the business of helping others create a life filled with wellness, purpose and abundance.  Every once in awhile I have to think deeply about why I'm doing this business, why am I working so hard to help others? I have always wanted to help others; how I was going to do it has changed over the years but ultimately, this is my journey. I also love taking the time to write and repeat one of my favorite mantras “every day I attract people and opportunities that grow my YL business quickly with grace and ease”. 🙏
What is one thing you did today to beat the Monday Monster?! 👻 ❤️‍❤️‍👻

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
