"Great opportunities to help others seldom come,

but small ones surround us daily."

~Sally Koch

Quote of the Week

"Fear is not the opposite of faith. It is the absence of faith. In 2 Timothy 1:7 we read, 'For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.' ” ~Dr. David Stuart, PhD

Quote of the Week

"Essential Oils are a profound addition to my practice. Simple gifts from nature with seemingly boundless healing capacities. They provide an excellent way to begin to encourage people to become involved in their own healing process."

D.J. Hinders, DC, Pueblo, Colorado

Quote of the Week

The world is round

and the place which may seem like the end

may also be the beginning.

~Unknown

Quote of the Week

"We are a driven people. We have-most of us-abandoned any real practice of Sabbath in our lives, and we think we can get along without it. Overwhelmed is not inevitable. Exhaustion is not spiritual, or even noble. God did not merely create the Sabbath, he commanded us to enter in. (He makes me lie down in green pastures! Ps. 23)."

~John Eldridge

Celebrating My Second Year Blogiversary!

I hit "publish" on my first blog post here on Oils For Wellness two years ago today! Can't describe my blogging journey better than this...

“If you do a good job for others,

you heal yourself at the same time,

because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Yours in wellness, purpose, and abundance,

Quote of the Week

"Those engaged in a healing mission with essential oils are constantly called upon to rely upon their intuitive faculties to decide which oils to use and how. This is necessary because there simply is not enough factual or scientific data available to make such decisions by intellectual means. This deficiency in applied research will eventually be remedied in time, perhaps over the next two centuries or so, but for the time being intuition is our best tool and, often, our only tool. "

~ Dr. David Stewart, author of Healing Oils of the Bible

~Ben and Carol Howden, Young Living Silver Distributors

Quote of the Week

The best six doctors anywhere

And no one can deny it

Are sunshine, water, rest, and air

Exercise and diet.

These six will gladly you attend

If only you are willing

Your mind they'll ease

Your will they'll mend

And charge you not a shilling.

~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990

Quote of the Week

"I expect that essential oils may someday prove a vital weapon in the fight against strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Lavender, thyme and tea-tree [Melaleuca] oils have been used for centuries as antiseptics; their chemical compounds appear to kill microbes on contact."
~Andrew Weil, M.D., Self-Healing Series, Oct. 1996

Quote of the Week

"Success comes by loving people enough that you are focused on their success instead of your own."

~Jeffrey Lewis, Young Living Platinum Distributor

Quote of the Week

"And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will my son." ~Revelation 21: 5-7
