I am back from doTERRA's Aspire Global convention. It was in one word amazing. It was my first convention but will not be my last. Words cannot truly express the excitement I had leading up to the flight westbound....which is partly why I had writer's block.
I was warned that Utah's weather could be all over the place in September so I packed expecting to be a bit cooler than our Savannah heat and humidity. Lucky for them, I bought some heat with me...but it was a dry heat. haha Record temperatures the first day of 94! Hello, Peppermint oil!
I have been to smaller events so I know the feel of doTERRA well and that deep caring for the people and planet held true thoughout the entire week. What took me a bit by surprise was how much my emotions stirred and the tears ran down my face. Seriously...no one warned me to pack tissue!
Hearing the growers tell how they are so pleased to be able to offer jobs to people in their areas where poverty has been so much a part of life, other Wellness Advocates share their success stories, being educated on the products I love, and seeing all the new stuff had me reaching for my Balance and Lavender oils often.
My mother and sister were recogonized for some awesome rank achievements of Gold and Silver! It was so awesome to see them walk across the stage in front of 18,000 people.
So what did I learn.....
Arborvitae is an amazing new oil for giving me a bit of a filter. It allowed me to take a second, formulate the right phrase and say the right thing. Now, it has lots of other great properties they discussed but for me this was huge.
The new Breathe formula is great for me in dry air and on bad pillows. My poor roomies! If you snore, give it a go to help those around you get better rest as well as you. It has the new Cardamom oil in it.
It was awesome to see myself in doTERRA Living Magazine!
Most importantly, I learned I have readers of this blog which is truly humbling. Honestly, this blog was just my little creative outlet. Never did I think I would have people approaching me to tell me how much they enjoyed it or wanted to me my sweet boy from "The Spot" (who by the way will be 18 months is a climber!) I guess I should be careful what I write...haha. What happens in a blog....no that is just Vegas right?
I will give you insight to a future blog.....electric hedge trimmers, a pointer finger and CorrectX......just give me a few more weeks.
