The essentials
I ask you ... Aren't recipes wonderful things? They help you look around and take stock. Then you gather ... measure ... get a little creative, lean in and work a little ... and POOF ... something wonderful happens and you pull sweet goodness out of the oven for all the world to marvel and applaud. Okay, maybe not all the world, but kids (and dogs) anyway. And maybe they don't applaud, they just scarf it down. But they know. Deep down, they know.
It's love being served.
There are not many things, at least at this point in my life (old enough to be a grandmom!), that I can say: This is essential. This is something I need. The obvious, of course: air, food, water, shelter. But heart-essentials go deeper and last, well, eternally: family, friends, and yes, love.
Health. It's essential, too.
As I get older, though, I realize that health is a precious and precarious thing. It's hard to enjoy life if you're not feeling so great. And we've got a lot to do, right?!
Our journey through life can have many twists, turns, and bumps along the way. We can navigate our path with wisdom, with God's help, with open eyes and hearts -- to discover how to nurture wellness in our bodies, minds and spirits.
My story
So. This is where I write about me ... I'm Hope and I live with my family in a small town -- Monroe, Georgia. I'm a Jesus-follower. And a mom, grandmom, friend, dōTERRA essential oil nerd, and occasional baker & gardener. I'm an introvert, so seriously, that's just about enough about me.
My introduction to dōTERRA oils came during the 2014 winter season when a lot of environmental threats were around. Long story short, a friend introduced me to these crazy, hippy oils (and I thought, "These won't work!"). Well they did work amazingly well and I was an instant convert.
Since then, dōTERRA oils have helped me and my daughter daily in so many ways:.
So yes, I'm a believer. Big time.
My goal is to lead others -- like you -- who are seeking safer, more effective, less expensive natural solutions to real, wholesome answers. Teaching (and learning!) as I go -- to empower and educate others to take control of their own health.
Recipes, find 'em here!
We'll do a little bit of everything here, but the heart of this -- my heart -- is to make it easy for you to find simple, practical ways -- even just slightly -- to improve whatever aspect(s) of your life that you feel might need a little boost.
Recipes? You'll find them here. For re-imagining your wellness with God's own little oily healers, for good food, and even non-toxic cleaners and more.
Nurture. Breathe. Relax.
Take some time to breathe, take stock, gather some good things, and nurture your body, your family, your home.
Much love,
Hope

Since then, dōTERRA oils have helped me and my daughter daily in so many ways:.
- They have supported my daughter's fragile immune system
- They have helped build and protect our immune system.
- They have supported our respiratory systems in countless ways (!)
- They have helped with those daily little skin irritations
- They have revolutionized my sleep (such great sleep diffusing Wild Orange and Vetiver!).
- They help calm and center me during my Bible-quiet time.
- They have helped with digestive concerns.
- Supporting muscles, my old brain (!), occasional discomfort ...
So yes, I'm a believer. Big time.
