Letting Go

I was recently reminded to "let go."

Whether it be a trial or how someone offended me, 
it was time to let go.

The metaphor used was to take whatever was bothering us
and have it be the bright sunny yellow balloon.

And then, let go of it and turn it over to God.
Trust that He will take care of it, no matter how big or small.

Take it out of your heart and no longer be offended;
instead feel peace.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thy own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Pick-me-ups

You know those days that you're just feeling down? I'm sharing my two most favorite things that help me feel better on days I think I can't make it through.

Today just happened to be one of those days. . . woke up with a cold and stomach problems. It's that time of year.

First off, bring on the yellow. Yellow is bright and cheery. Yellow reminds me of my mom and the two of them can brighten any room. So when we moved into the apartment with only white walls, everything else had to be the color. Can you really be depressed with something like this?


The second is an essential for anyone. I use an oil from doTERRA called Elevation. I put a little bit on everyday mixed with a few drops of coconut oil on the back of my neck, my hands and feet. It's an immediate lift.

Elevation is the perfect blend of lavandin, tangerine, elemi, lemon myrtle, melissa, ylang ylang, osmanthus and sandalwood. All of my favorites made into one. Now oils may seem a little bit expensive but if you've ever taken an anti-depressant, the medicine is expensive and has harsh side effects. I would recommend this first before you try ANY anti-depressant. It's natural and has no side effects at all because the oils are from the earth. There's nothing to lose.

After both of these, I'm already feeling much better. I guess I better stop procrastinating my homework. Oh and by the way, I got so many responses from my earlier post that I will post my finished story. Coming soon.

I hope your days are happy, continuing to be filled with JOY always, even on a day like me when it's spent in bed with symptoms of a stomach flu.

What are some of your pick-me-ups? I'd love to hear your tips!
