Have you been to a live conference where you learned new information, got inspired by positive messages of hope, and connected with people full of passion for living?

Most of us who go to a conference get excited and for very good reason.  We have been filled with positive things for 3 days straight, surrounded by voices that say we can do it, we are valued, and lifted to new heights by visions of what is possible.  Consequently, we may come home with big plans for change and a renewed sense of connection and purpose of why we’re here and doing what we’re doing.  Isn’t it wonderful and cool?

This past weekend I attended the doTerra company convention and got to meet members of our team in person.  It was so much fun to hang out and chat at length with all of them!

I became CONNECTED with the company culture on a deeper level, hearing real life stories of how the product of the highest quality essential oils you can find on the market, has helped so many people get their health back.

How can you forget stories like:

1.  An 11 year old daughter with horrible stomach pains who either didn’t eat, or when she ate she threw up.  Catching pneumonia was a normal annual occurrence for her.  She also suffered from asthma and urinary reflux.  She was put on a lot of antibiotics for the H. pylori.  The majority of the world’s population have this bacteria but it just doesn’t show up for most of us.

This little girl had severe stomach ulcers and for 14 weeks was given 3 different rounds of antibiotics without feeling much better.  Her mom (and the speaker), Natalie Rigby, was introduced to the oils and gave her a digestive blend and soon after she said, “That felt nice.”  She went to school and the school called and asked, “What have you been doing at home?  Your daughter is doing so well now.”

2.  Natalie Rigby’s son contracted the H1N1 virus at a basketball game.  He took some oils, which are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and within 2-3 days the virus was gone.  Within 48 hours the protective blend that supports healthy immune function, was able to destroy the virus.

3.  An infant son with RSV, a virus that causes respiratory tract infections.  The father, Darrel Christoph, who I got to meet and talk with at length (while standing in line to get a Nathan Pacheco music CD autographed), gave him some oils and within 2 days his son was better.  The doctors said it was the first time they saw such a quick recovery from RSV.  Darrel teaches health classes once a week and inspired me greatly through what he shared.

4.  A mom, Kim Ruiz, whose 9 year old son has the brain condition called hydrocephalus.  It’s not a commonly known condition; in fact, hydrocephalus is so complex that even medical staff do not recognize it unless they are experienced with it.  I got to meet Kim at the airport and she was so kind to share her knowledge about this condition with me.  In fact, she is the Executive Director of a non-profit organization called A Pocketful of Change.  I am impressed and touched by her passion and vision for raising awareness about hydrocephalus in schools, hospitals and other facilities.  Her son, having gone through so many brain surgeries, had been suffering from depression as well, and Kim uses frankincense and lemon essential oils on his chest, which help to lift his mood.

5.  A lady from Japan that I got to sit next to, who didn’t speak very much English.  Somehow she and I managed to have a 2-hour conversation and learned quite a lot, in my opinion, about each other.  And it’s NOT because I speak Japanese!  LOL.  Her knee was hurting and she said that doTerra’s soothing blend helped the pain in her knee to go away.  Isn’t that fantastic?

Prior to the convention, many of you know, I have been working on a book project with Rachel Sayers.  It is so very near ready to go to press and we plan for its release this month, as well as a music CD of songs to accompany the book.  While at the convention we met people who want to purchase our book and that’s so affirming, you guys.  It’s our first book and to know that people want to read it, is such a sweet feeling.  So we’re very excited for that and keeping you posted as those titles become available.

Being a part of the convention this year was a wonderful experience that goes beyond words!

Stay tuned for my next post on Wednesday, Keep The Post Conference “High” Going, where I will share how I am keeping the excitement going as I go back to my everyday routine.  Hope this has been helpful and inspiring to you!
