Whirlwind of Learning and Hope

I can't wait to share all that I am learning with all of you throughout the coming weeks as this convention is packed with great information, scientific research and great testimonies. I don't have the time or the ability right now to share in depth, so I will give you the highlights.

The 20th Anniversary Young Living Convention opened with a parade of flags from all the countries where Young Living is represented. Then the theme, Live Your Dream, was introduced in style and fun. We were welcomed by the Young family to the convention and the whirlwind began.

Gary shared a great overview of the last 20 years of Young Living, the challenges and initial beginnings and the incredible success that is now being experienced by the company. Young Living is having a positive impact around the world on health, through their philanthropic commitments to every community where we have a presence, and on the financial well being of distributors who are giving back to their own communities in some amazing ways.

Today was a full day of looking back and forward to all that is coming. Lots of new products were introduced from a whole product line for pets, kid ready oil blends with cute names, products to enhance brain health, Freedom Sleep and Freedom Release sets which have been used with incredible results with those with PTSD and other forms of trauma. We heard testimony from military veterans, those with childhood traumas and those who have experience relationship traumas.  I am always amazed by the effectiveness of the plants that God gave us, and so thankful for the research and efforts of those who believe with a passion that essential oils can transform people's lives. To hear the stories of this transformation is moving and motivating. We need an army to help us spread this hope to those who really need it.

Products were introduced that have been used with children with autism and the results have been phenomenal. Gary has been growing Einkorn wheat and has created spagetti and pancake mix using this new wheat. New diffusers were introduced and I'll be bringing several back to show those of you who live locally.

I wish I had time to share more, but I promise I will in the coming days.
