It was the beginning of a new year.  I was visiting my parents for the Holidays. My mom knew that I was interested in natural remedies for my health.  She had a friend who was using dōTERRA. I called Mary. Got my first kit.  I started with the smallest kit possible. (My husband, Ron was not convinced that this was any different than all the other direct sales companies I had joined over the years.) In hindsight, I should have gotten the biggest kit.  I ended up buying so many things the first few weeks/...

Back in the day when Leadership Retreat was in person & not online... I had the privilege of  meeting one of the founders of dōTERRA.  Emily Wright had a line around the block practically. She had assistants who helped keep the lines moving and gave us some sense of organization while we waited. I was most amazed by Emily's small stature. She has such a large stage presence.  She seems to take up the whole stage as all good leaders do. She seems some how bigger than life...and truly bigger than her actual size. When I met her in person, she w...

One of our favorite places to visit and teach about essential oils is a little mountain town in Northern California called Weaverville.  It is a hippy little town with shops containing original art, gems and gemstone beads, antiques and vintage jewelry, handmade goods and plenty of good coffee. There is an old spiritual museum and an art gallery of beautiful local work.  We have not been able to go back and visit for a long time.  I left a little piece of my heart in that town. I hope to go back to visit someday and see the town and the lovely people who welcomed us there. Peace to you Weaverville Wellness Warriors.  I think of you still.

We hit GOLD for the first time in 2017.  It was a stretch for our small team.  But, I am so strategic, that I was able to do it with all the new Holiday products and all the BOGOs and new enrollments. My team loves these products.  We often hit higher ranks than other small teams because I believe my team is better educated on t...

Ron’s Oil Journey: In September of 2017, I attended the doTERRA Global Convention with my wife, Kim and my son, Mark. I had not had much experience with oils but went along to be supportive and learn more about the company that my wife loves so much. The first presentation addressed that despite the increasing expense of healthcare in the U.S., Americans are becoming less healthy. I knew that I was an example of this. My weight was out of control and my health was rapidly declining. But I did not know how to change...

  On New Year’s Eve, 2014, my mom talked me into joining dōTERRA as a Wellness Advocate. Her friend Mary signed me up for an account and I got started. I began to immerse myself in oils. I had no idea what I was doing or what each oil was for, but Mary gave me a book and I started to read. I started immediately creating concoctions and playing with natural homemade health care. I promised when I started dōTERRA, we would be done with everything else. We had tried so many other companies. This will be a raw emotional excerpt...
