Clary Sage Oil

I have only heard a few things about  Clary Sage oil until the other day when I was reading my reference guide  for essential oils. I came across some very interesting and helpful things ( especially if you are a women )

First off Clary Sage (Salvia ) is in the mint family and has so many wide usages. Here are just some of the helpful things that this little essential oil can help you with.

-Apply directly to your skin to help prevent infections because it has antifungal and antiseptic qualities.

-Balances Hormones! Yes! It aides in PMS symptoms, hot flashes and premenopausal problems because of its soothing sedative qualities.

– Relieves stress,

– Improves skin, great for insect bites,

– Aids in digestion by increasing stomach acid

-Insomnia

-Improves in Circulation

The list can go on but I was so impressed by all the helpful things this little plant can do. I have always been amazed at what can be found in nature to help us.

This is great topically applied and safe for consumption by using 1 drop with 1 tsp of honey in a 4oz beverage but as always check with your doctor. I also wouldn’t recommend ingesting this if you are pregnant or nursing and avoid using on babies.

She’s Still There

I have found a great book that I wanted to share. It is for all us girls that feel lost in our life or have asked the question what happened, how did I drift to this part of my life. You know the messy parts or hard seasons when you question your life and how to press the reset button.

In “She’s Still There” by Chrystal Evans Hurst you will find an easy read that encourages you to remember that the refining moments are not defining moments that we are both a masterpiece even if it feels messy it’s because we are a work in progress. It is not the end but that we can move forward and enjoy the dance of life.

In this great book you will find reminders and practical steps on how to live your best life instead of exciting, it’s never to late.

If you would like to check it out please see the link I have provided below. Enjoy and let me know what you thought of this book and if you would like maybe we could do an online study.

Value of a Moment

“Sometimes you will Never Know

the value of a moment

Until it becomes a memory.”

                                                                                        Dr. Seuss

 

I am one of those people who love a good quote. I have sticky notes and index cards all around my house to prove it but this quote I have written on a large piece of paper on my refrigerator at eye level to remind me to value each moment just in case I forget.

It seems to me the older I get the more this quote is so true. In my 20 and 30’s I was so busy doing life I would forget to enjoy small moments but looking back how I value them. This was driven home to me when I was talking to my daughter about dropping her son off at school. She was wanting to do the drop, hug and go home quick method because she has so much to do before going to work.

I remember that rush and not stopping to savor the moment that is now only a memory. I remember the quick hug, kiss and glance over my shoulder. The rushed mornings of getting sleepy little ones off.

I have the blessing of dropping my grandson off at kindergarten one day a week. I am able to see him run, swing and play with such enjoyment it brings a tear to my eyes. I can value each of those moments a little more than when I was younger. I can give my grandson the best gift a person can give and that is to be fully present with them.

To be fully present in the moment with each person even if those moments are the hard ones when all you can do is hold their hand, hear their cry or just be present and let them share the silence with you. Its sharing of the hard hurtful dark times that can bring the most valued memory.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20, MSG

“After looking at the way things are on this earth, here’s what I’ve decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that’s about it. That’s the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what’s given and delighting in the work. It’s God’s gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. It’s useless to brood over how long we might live.”
