Lavender Apothecary
Have you ever had one of those moments where you realized everything was about to change? I had one of those moments... and it sounds cliche. But sometimes cliches become ingrained in our lives for a reason.
I had been out of work for health reasons for several months and I had lost my way. A lot of people would enjoy the opportunity to take some time off with streaming services and cookies (I mean hey, we all love cookies, right?) The thing is, I am a person who needs a purpose, as I often say. I need something to pour myself into. Something to believe in.
I’ve been in retail basically my whole life. I grew up in it. And the thing is while I love selling (which I truly do) I don’t love it to make money, which is always nice... I love selling because if you, as a customer, come to me with a need, I love to help you find a solution to it. I love for someone to come to me and say, “I have a problem. I have a thing that I need. I have something I don’t have in my life that I want,” and I LOVE to be the person to FIND that thing to fill that void, to solve that problem, to give you that thing you don’t have. I don’t want to sell you something you don’t need. I don’t want to give you the wrong thing just to sell the thing I have. I want to legitimately solve your problem and form a connection between us so the next time you have a problem you will come back to me. I want you to trust me so the next time your friend needs something, you will say, “Hey, I know just who will be able to get you what you need!”
I want to be the person you come to for your oils because you trust what I am telling you and selling you. I want you to know Young Living has the highest quality essential oils because I use them myself. The surgeon I have performing my back surgery told me, “I won’t perform a surgery on you that I wouldn’t perform on my mother or my sister just to do surgery.” That meant a lot because I know there are a lot of surgeons who perform the surgery I will be having needlessly - surgery they know won’t fix someone. Now we’re talking about oils here, not surgery. But let’s face it. Real talk, right? A lot of these oils are NOT CHEAP. So why our oils and not the oils you can get at the store where you buy your groceries for $10? Well first of all, Young Living’s Seed to Seal Promise - We control every aspect of the Essential Oil process so you know that our oils are pure, unadulterated and the real thing. And that means some of the oils ARE expensive. Some of these plants are rare and that means more you won’t find them at those grocery stores. But the therapeutic properties of the oils are well worth the investment and I’ve learned over time that between the topical uses, the dietary uses and of course the good old diffusing of the oils that you will find so many uses of the different oils that Young Living will soon be a household name and I will be that trusted friend who helped fill a void in your life you never even knew was there.
Young Living Essential Oils has been a lifeline for me. It’s given me back my purpose. It’s helped manage my ailments during my time out of work. It’s helped manage my feelings of losing so much. And it’s helped connect me to so many people. The oils, the people, everything - all of it represent those drops. Drops in my ocean bringing me back to life.
