Worth The Wait


So I recently became a member of Young Living Essential Oils.  I became a member just before one of the biggest growth spurts this company has ever known and RIGHT as holiday sales are ramping up.  Needless to say, I had to WAIT for my Starter Kit and I was NOT happy.  But then the kit came and I tried the oils.  Can I just say.... SOOOOOOOO worth the wait.  This isn't my FIRST bout of impatience:

Once upon a time in a land of tumbleweeds and super hot summers, a beautiful, charismatic and really quite skinny girl made her first trip to a well-known coffee shop. She met a friend there who was full of excitement and seemed to have a knowing glint in her eye. After 20 minutes our super hot, skinny, well-spoken, charismatic girl got a little irritated with the wait. "Why am I standing in a 20 minute line for a cup of coffee? Why would ANYONE wait for this? Don't these people have lives?" To which her friend turned to her and said, "THIS coffee is like none other. This is the very best coffee in all the land. Would you believe that every one of these people DO have lives and including this coffee makes it complete? It is not just coffee, it is a lifestyle. People come together because of this coffee, they form incredible friendships and even conduct meetings here. There are some who, like you, don't get it. Maybe it's because they've never tried the coffee, maybe they've tried it and haven't seen the light. But for those who tried it and get it, they now have a place to 'belong' and enjoy the very best. They have something to look forward to every day and have found something that makes them happy. They could try and manufacture this happiness on their own at home.... but NO ONE makes coffee the way this coffee company does and for all of us WAITING.... it is SOOOOO worth the wait. The drop dead gorgeous, funny, well-spoken, super-model thin, charismatic girl smiled and decided to wait in anticipation of the very best that she now believed was on it's way.
This is a mostly true story. Why WOULD everyone wait? Aren't we curious.... anticipating.... what everyone is waiting for? If everyone is waiting... could there be something to it? There was a time not so long ago that I didn't get it... I get it now. I REALLY, REALLY get it!!! And I've just replaced my morning coffee with Ningxia Red.
 
I am now a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils (#2065124).  I am such a believer that I decided that I needed to share it with the world.  If anyone reading this is curious about how essential oils can enhance THEIR lives.... please send me an email.  I would LOVE to speak to you:  fittertwitdoesoils@gmail.com   *** Young Living Essential Oils is expanding because of the growth... luckily the wait is no longer very long!!!

How exciting to be a part of that!

Past 7 Days....

RIP My Friend

I think this is what drowning feels like.  I lost a friend yesterday.  And I'm afraid that I am just having a very hard time finding the words to express what the world lost.  I'm having a hard time KNOWING she's gone.  I just can't believe that Trisha Giallella died yesterday. I've known Trish for a large chunk of my life; she was the sister of my sister's ex husband. But for all the years that I knew her, I never REALLY knew her until very recently.  Oh sure, over the years I would listen in awe at all her stories.... stories of making movies in Hollywood, the wild parties and dating Rick James.  To a young girl of 15, those stories seemed like something from TV itself and far removed from my own piddly little life.  The fact that she even shared her stories with me sent me into a stuper.  I always had stars in my eyes when I listened to Trish talk, she was so glamorous and very, very tough... very passionate and good at "living".  I...

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card.  I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :(  Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm.  Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project.  The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside.  I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft.  I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

Goodbye and Hello

It has been a LONG time since I've suffered a loss that has shattered my heart to pieces, but I recently had to say goodbye to my 13 year old black lab baby.  His name was Sunny and he really was the light of my life.  We got him at the pound the day AFTER the pound neutered him at 5 weeks old!!!   Needless to say, 2 days after we brought him home, the vet bill was already a whopping $900.  Turns out that the surgery was quite difficult for him for two reasons:  1) he was way too young for it in the first place and 2) he had contracted valley fever from whatever environment he had come from.  These two variables culminated to him breathing vomit during his surgery and developing asphyxiated pneumonia.  The little cough that I noted while spending time with him at the pound developed into a VIOLENT cough over the next 48 hours.  After two weeks of treatments from the vet, dropping him off at the vet each morning and then taking him home e...
