I have been temendously busy with the goats, the kidding season, and with helping my husband fire up his new business. Yes, the blessing has arrived after a long 2 1/2 years, he is working! And he is happy.
In the meantime, I also completed a foundation level aromatherapy course.
I learned a great deal about essential oils including safety, blending, and aromatherapy benefits.
Purchasing essential oils has taken on a whole new meaning. I look at the Latin name. I look for purity (no adulterations). I note where the crop was harvested, and the method used to create the essential oil (or absolute)
I have been studying and testing natural perfumes.
It is hard work, believe me. I love the learning. Finding the time to study, and it will continue, is difficult. I will always read new materials, and another course is going to follow.
I am going to apply what I have learned not only to my products, but also to my home, health and even to my animals.
My small garden (for now) will be filled with additional herbs and flowers that I can use in products.
I am hoping to receive my first certificate within 2 weeks, if I passed the exam and did well on the projects.
I am excited, and I am very thankful!
Have you ever taken on something new and find yourself seeing things in a different light? How about the rush of enthusiasm?

Thank you, Amy. Have a beautiful weekend!
I know exactly what you mean. I am learning SEO for the first time and it is so exhilarating. It is like having your eyes opened up to a whole new world with so many possibilities. It is so awesome to me that the Internet is an equal opportunity for all. If you apply yourself in learning the skills necessary to succeed then you will. It is all in the amount of time and knowledge you have that gets you where you want to go.
I am so excited for you Mary. I myself have been studying EO’s and the effects they have are tremendous for your health. It is so great that you are loving what you are learning and best of all you always bless others with what you learn.
Hello, Jenny.
SEO is interesting, yet confusing for me. Building the website, even though I did it through a template, was an eye opener. I used an online forum for feedback. They put me through the trenchs, but I learned from the many mistakes that I had made. Now, keeping it updated is the key!
I share with you in the thought that time and knowledge, and I’ll add hard work, can get you where you want to go.
Yay for completing the course! I know you passed the exam. How could you not?!
I guess my enthusiasm will begin when I can acutally start learning what I’m going to school for. I’m so tired of Math and English. I just want to get started learning what I began going to school for.
How long do you have to go before you move past the Math and English, Becky?
