No matter how old my children get, it is of great importance to hold them in my arms, and nurture them with kisses and hugs and positive affirmation of their many beautiful character strengths, even when they make unwise decisions and push me to my limit. I am sure to tell them each day how cherished and beautiful they are. A gift to me.
I learned through the years of raising five children so close in age, that I must surrender myself to them. This is a precious time of which I never want to look back on and say I did not do enough. They are my biggest mission right now, and I have invested my heart and soul into them. As they are school age, this is my time to expand in business, but still remain mindful of their needs, and be sure to remove myself from my laptop and phone when they need me. I am at peace and able to fully focus on my work during school hours when I know they are content and occupied. Focusing on motivation, healthy diet, daily exercise and calling upon the therapeutic power of the oils helps me to achieve my daily goals.
The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
I have a passion and fire within me that motivates me to strive for abundance every day in my life. Abundance of love, charity, and opportunity. This channels my focus of mission and success. I have gained incredible strength from my struggles and sufferings. I have been a single mum for a number of years, so I have learnt how to be independent, strong, resourceful and fierce. I have gained the resilience to constantly strive for the needs of my children, as well as developing great emotional maturity. I have taken the time to focus on my own needs and optimism.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
In my opinion there are not many cons. I struggle to think of many and see them as only small hurdles to be quickly overcome. My hunger for knowledge and wisdom is insatiable, so the thrill of running my own business is incredibly gratifying. I am also part of an extraordinary team of talented women who support me to succeed and fill my bucket daily. Many people strive to succeed in business alone, but with a great team so much more is possible. After all, business is about community and how we can serve others to the best of our ability. The stronger our community is, the greater our ability to serve many.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I have countless dreams for the future. Where do I begin? My main goal is to provide for my children to the best of my ability. To meet their needs and surround them with love and health. For me, health is wealth. Gone are the days when I strove to support their physical needs with pharmaceuticals and many other natural remedies. Essential oils provide everything my family needs for physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. They unify us and create wholeness in our home. The gift of the oils builds our physical and emotional resilience and keeps our lives toxin free and pure. If I do not have my health, whether that be physically or emotionally, I am lacking, and therefore I would struggle to fulfill my true potential in this life.
I envisage for my business a community of strong and resilient women, who live without fear of the future and are clear in their identity as capable, dignified, and enduring. It is my mission to teach women their true worth and mentor those into business who are determined to see change in their lives.
