Zeus. My Husky. My best friend.

Okay. So every time I write on this blog a ton in my life has changed. Well just a little while ago I had a huge change in my life that I truly didn't want to see come until years down the road because I never wanted it to happen but I knew someday it would.

My baby. My Husky. My Best Friend. My Zeus.
The one I knew I could always count on. The one by my side since I was 11. The last 8 years.
Memories. Love. My heart. My sweet old man. Went to be with the lord in heaven. To make it all so much worse emotionally, I had to make the decision to put him down at the vet office. I know now that it was the right thing to do for him to keep him from suffering and living in pain. But in the time leading up I was in a kind of denial that it may be coming sooner than I wanted it to. But as time went on I gave it a lot of thought about if it had to happen where I would want him buried what I wanted to do. How would be the best way. I knew I wanted to be with him. I knew I didn't want him to be alone and scared in his last moments. I decided I wanted him buried under our weeping willow tree in our backyard. I still could not bare to talk about these thoughts in my head. As  I made vet appointments, Paid for antibiotics, Cleaned his infected eye, tried to help him breathe easier from what I thought was bad allergies with benedryl. My family assumed I was in denial. I wasn't I just couldn't bare it. I has now been a while and I have been working on this post in little bits since that day. I don't know when this will be posted. He was more than just a pet, more than just a dog, He was my baby, my protector, my everything. He was always there for me. I had to be there for him and make sure I was making the right decision. In that moment; my heart was shattered. But, it was the right thing for him. Seeing him there able to breathe, and sleep, and relax, and snore, and take his last breath. He was at peace. I knew that right then. He went to be with our Lord and Savior. and I know he is running all over and watching over me. As a type this its still very hard. But I know I will be with him again someday. I will still miss him everyday, I may breakdown every time I find something that used to be his or reminds me of him. At least for a little while. But I could have never asked for a better past 8 years with him. I was overly blessed to have him as a part of my life. God definitely knew we needed each other.
Now that this chapter in my life is over. I knew ending his suffering was the right decision even if my heart was going to shatter by doing so.. I love you so much Zeus. Thank you for being my best friend for so many years. <3

How I started with Young Living

I originally got my kit when I was 16 years old, I already had fallen in love with Young Living's oils and products. I was just waiting to turn 18 to become a member and business builder myself. To my surprise just a couple months later Young Living changed its member policies and I was allowed to sign up as a member with a Premium starter kit at just 16! A month later my mom signed up as a member! Since then I have worked to build my business side by side with my mom and then life would take over and I would stop, and then i'd start again. then stop again. I have been hardcore back to building my business for awhile now. It has been the best decision. It has been a ton of hard work, and I know that It will get harder. But I will do it because that is my goal to have the freedom to work from wherever I wanted, be able to pay my bills and not be in debt or completely broke by the end of it, I wanted a natural lifestyle chemical free, I wanted to be able to share that life along with doing my mission trips. That is my goal to be able to continue this business to where it can give me those freedoms! So far. yes lots of hard work. Yes I could be doing more. Yes I am going to do more and more and more. Because I believe in this company. I believe in these products. I use them myself! I will continue to grow my business. I have had this dream since I was 16. I was blessed with the opportunity to have been using the products before that and I have been able to use them since then to continue growing my arsenal of products and oils myself and I have now come to realize that I have just now these last few months been putting into my business what it needs to grow and flourish to give me the freedom and lifestyle I want to have, and I will only be working even harder and longer to make that happen as time goes on! It will take awhile, But I will do it. Young living has changed the Premium starter kit a few times since I started, just little things here or there but I have loved every change they have made! They have also come out with Tons and Tons of new products! Although I have nowhere near tried all of the products or oils myself, The ones I have and the history I have had with the company gives me no doubt that even the ones I have yet to try are absolutely amazing!

Unofficial Rank Jump!

So all of my hard work is paying off!
Relaunching my Network Marketing business has been an amazing decision !
I already have everything in place ready to process the rest of my downline's Essential rewards orders and as soon as they do and I have my monthly order go through I am already way above the requirements to make it to the rank I set as my goal for this month! All of that was set in place and I unofficially made my goal on the 5th of the month!!
 I am working with my downline and continuing to help them up their ranks and I am growing my downline! SO maybe I'll even up another rank this month! But if not that is totally fine! It just  gets me one step closer for next month!
 I just said I was going to keep updating as life went on and I entail to do so!
I am so blessed and thankful for all God is doing in my life right now <3

Update Update Update!!!

Update Update Update!

 So I haven't posted in FOREVER. But I am going to change that!

SO update on my life currently. Since I posted last, I had my first international missions trip to Dominican Republic! I've done many many missions inner city and local missions trips. I moved back to Florida March of 2016! I had a missions trip to San Francisco in July of 2016!


I gained a new baby sister! She was born February of 2017 so yes, she is now over a year old! Walking  and everything!! She has grown up so quickly! along with my other little sister who will be 5 in April! I can't believe how fast time flies.

Along with that she is also a rainbow baby. My mom lost a baby in December of 2015 right before I left on my first missions trip. That was the hardest thing our family has been ever been through in my opinion ... I think about that baby everyday and I know I will never forget.

We moved back to Ohio in May of 2017. I worked 6 hours away from home from the beginning of June to the end of August. Driving on my way home from there it was around 9:30 at night, I was over a half an hour from home still. and I was stopped at a redlight in a construction zone at an intersection....


My car was struck by a car that decided I should have run the red light. I didn't so my car was pushed into the intersection ... Scariest moment ever! everything in my backseat was thrown all over the car. I was so lucky I have long legs because I am short. If I would have been any closer to the steering wheel, I would have hit my head. Luckily I didn't. I did seriously mess up my shoulder and collar bone. Along with whiplash to top it all off... and my back and ribs weren't feeling too good after all of that either.  I initially wasn't allowed and couldn't drive. Now, I'm cleared to drive again after August through december was filled with doctors appointments and physical therapy at least twice a week. Right after my physical therapy was ended due to them no longer being able to do anymore with not knowing why it still is not right. I went to DOminican Republic on yet another amazing and humbling Missions trip at the end of December over the new year. SO I am now back home. Trying to find whatever my new normal is living back in Ohio. I am back to trying to get back into driving again. although that brings on anxiety all on its own.

I am relaunching my Network Marketing business that I got into in AUgust of 2015 that I never fully put my effort into. Now I am going all the way with it. SO far it is going really really well! I am looking forward to the experiences it is bringing into my life! I am loving being back into it and I love being an entrepreneur. I am working and I will be saving up to get my doula training and certification done and then move on to take the steps forward to become a midwife. As my business grows I can earn enough as I rise up in rank and hopefully do this all debt free !

 Well...
I think you are updated on everything big that has really gone on in my life personally in the last few years! I will continue to update as life goes on! <3
