Last Week

Hey Everyone,

You may have noticed that I was absent from my blog last week. Originally I had planned on keeping up my writing schedule while I was attending my company’s annual convention in Salt Lake City. Many authors unless they are blessed to be a bestseller have day jobs as well. I am privileged to be a wellness advocate for doTERRA Essential Oils.

Every September doTERRA has a 3 day convention with individual trainings both before and after the event. I ended up flying out on Monday and getting in after midnight (That’s a whole story in and of itself), and didn’t fly home until yesterday. I was so busy the whole week, so much to learn and absorb that I did not manage to write a single word the whole week, edit, or read anything.

But you know what, that’s ok. My focus needed to be elsewhere. It is very important for me to be in the present during convention week. (Oh, and BTW, there were 40k doterrans in SLC for the convention, 4k of those being from foreign countries. It’s a big convention and so many new friends to meet). We buy into the myth that we must be superhumans, that we have to do everything and be everything. And when we try to do this, all we end up doing is losing. We lose friends and family. We lose important relationships. We lose our health. We even lose our minds.

Don’t do that. Take care of yourself. When you get to the end of your life, do you want to look back and regret the fact that you were so busy that you missed out on life? Or do you want to see that while everything didn’t get done at the end of the day, you were healthy and happy and you knew that you were loved and the people that you cared about knew that you loved them?

Happy Monday Everyone! I will be sharing more about my week in posts later this week 🙂

P.S.

I found an amazing blend this week that doterra just released. Ask me about it’s awesomeness!!
