Goodbye for Now to My First Father

Healing Hands Helps Tanzanian Children

2018 in Review
I haven't posted here in ages, but I believe in second (OK, and fourth and twentieth) chances. Besides, I can't think of a better way to dust off my old blog than with a slideshow that took hours to create. I'm pretty impressed with myself for whittling down...

Bridging the Gap
Have you ever wanted to share essential oils with a nurse or doctor but felt intimidated or just didn't know how to get the conversation started? Perhaps you worked up the courage but felt as if you got shut down quickly. You're not alone, and this month's...
Guatemala Trip Recap
Three months ago, I shared that I was preparing to go on my first dōTERRA Healing Hands trip Feb. 12-19. My husband and I embarked with eager anticipation but purposely attempted not to be too specific in our expectations. We just wanted to go along for the...
Hello Out There
Well, hello there! For multiple reasons, I haven't written on my personal blog since shortly after the devastating death of a dear friend and pastor figure in our lives. Every time I log into my blog, I see the picture of his beautiful family and start thinking...
Increase Your Freedom, Productivity, and Joy!
Can you imagine a life in which you have the freedom to focus, to be present, and to be spontaneous? Do you believe you could actually achieve more by doing less? A few months ago I attended Free to Focus, Michael Hyatt's virtual productivity summit, and now...
My dōTERRA Healing Hands Adventure
I'm so excited about this post but have found it difficult to know how and where to start. I made a special announcement to my team and have told a few family members, but until now I haven't publicly shared the adventure on which I plan to embark next February,...
The dōTERRA Difference
Have you wondered what makes dōTERRA's business opportunity unique or found yourself thinking dōTERRA is probably not much different from any other network marketing company? That's what I thought, too, when I began using the oils and seeing the benefits to...
Happy Together
Every once in awhile I meet a couple who is just killing it in their network marketing business: working together seemingly without a hitch, taking on their prospective roles, filling in for each other when necessary, and doing everything side by side, from...
Achieving Balance
I get asked all the time how to balance "everything," and I usually say, "Don't try. Decide what you can give up for this season."When I read Jen Hatmaker's book For the Love, I felt had to share a couple excerpts for all the people who wanted to know how...
Road to Diamond
Although my team has helped me claim the rank of Diamond seven months in a row and counting, it still seems new and surreal. My enroller interviewed me for a team call, and then a leadership magazine writer interviewed me for an article. Since I haven't said...
Like Mike
The Shroyer FamilySome friends may remember a blog I wrote two years ago about why we were doing something called "Cre8" instead of going to a "regular church." I named several things I felt drawn to about Cre8, but it was awkward and messy, too. What it...
