Living is South Florida, hurricanes are a fact of life for the better part of 6 months a year. Some years we have a quiet season, some years an active season, and then you have the years that are just scary seasons. 2004 and 2005 should be counted in that last category, with storms going through the entire alphabet and into the Greek alphabet, along with multiple hits on Florida and the gulf coast. I had not yet partnered with Young Living during that most stressful of times, for which I am super bummed. I had the chance, but I had turned it down and decided it was too "new age" for my taste back then. Little did I realize that a scant 10 years later I would eagerly jump on that wagon whole heartedly. A decision for which I am eternally grateful.
I said all that just to say this..... This past weekend was another "scary" time in Florida's hurricane season. Staring down a Category 5 storm with 185 mph winds, named Dorian, and knowing without a shadow of a doubt that a direct hit would decimate anything in it's path. Two oils - Stress Away and Gratitude - got me through this scary event. Stress Away helped during the most stressful time of preparation and Gratitude for when it finally passed us by with barely a whisper.
My heart goes out to each effected by Hurricane Dorian, and I am still using Stress Away, as I sit here and listen to the news about how the storm is affecting North Carolina, where many of my extended family lives. I remember the stress and overwhelming panicked feeling I had when Andrew came through in 1992, and then again in 2005 when Wilma gave a direct hit to us and then again 2017 with Irma. I am forever grateful for having these oils for this season, and knowing I will never have to go through another hurricane season without them.
