Seasons- the flow of change.

The evening air is starting to feel a little more crisp. The grass starting to fade from its vibrant green. The kids getting ready to go back to school.

And yet I cling to the summer.
Enjoying this moment that is here and now.

Listening to the kids play and giggle, as I chase the fading light through the field, and the dogs follow behind.

I was ”busy” waiting for the world to approve my insecurities.

Then I found the courage to reveal to myself my insecurities.

Then I realized I could learn to love myself even with my insecurities.

Then I realized I could begin living and stop waiting for the world.

Now, the only thing left is LOVE.

There is something about witnessing someone dream big, claim it and run after it that I love.

This weekend I’ve watched as my brother in law walked the entire process out.

Last year, at this track @barkriveroffroad, he was a spectator. It was then that he sealed the vision in and told his wife (my sister) that next year he was going to be on the track racing AND was going to podium.

Pretty lofty goal for a rookie, with no truck.

That very day he bought his truck.

Countless hours spent rebuilding.
A huge investment- with the vulnerability of asking others for support.
A decision to go after it.
A whole lot of blood, sweat and probably tears.

One year later he showed up.
Surrounded by a ton of people cheering him on.
He raced.
We cheered, jumped around and cried.
He stood on the podium.

His determination and passion have flooded this past year. I’m sure filled with moments where he questioned all of it.

The race season itself has started with quite a few bumps and bruises, as most journeys do.

It also has taken a lot of people behind the scenes helping with the truck, sharing knowledge, preparing for the races, committing to sponsor, and many, many sending love and support.

All the while knowing his option was to show up. Over and over again.

SO much fun being a witness to Trey’s story.
Who knows how far he will go. (His determination, bit of crazy, team around him and driving skills say anything is possible.) Day #2 starting now! Go get it @treybeauchampmotorsports!

The other day I came across this picture of us. It was taken about five years ago. We were pumped to be on vacation and getting ready to go snorkeling for the very first time. (Well, I was excited about the snorkeling. 😂) Looking at this picture I also see two humans who were exhausted. Carl was on antidepressants that were keeping him from having an emotional breakdown. I was keeping the peace, trying to make sure that the kids, the house and my photography business were running smoothly, so that when Carl would come home from teaching, we wouldn’t add to his stress levels. We were in survival mode. We were going through the motions of life, walking the day in and day out. On the edge of complete physical, mental and emotional breakdown.

We had no clue. It was “normal”. Three months later Young Living walked into my life. I started using the crazy snake oils on myself and my family, every single day. We were guessing, and enjoying every second of it. Diffusing, applying oils and telling our friends.

Some people jumped in. Most thought (think) we were crazy; It was a scheme.

Five years.

That’s the difference.
Five years of choosing differently. Thinking differently. Envisioning differently.

Carl came off his antidepressants shortly after discovering his love for Frankincense and other oils. I have shed layers upon layers of emotional restrictions using oils as support tools. Of course, these are our favorites and everyone is different.

I love my Young Living lifestyle. That is exactly what it is. A lifestyle. It’s not a quick fix or take this product twice a day for 30 days and you will be cured. It isn’t like that at all. It is day in and day out of using oils and supplements, of the highest QUALITY, as tools to support us.

It is about becoming intentional with every part of our lives. Deciding how our lives should look. Deciding to see wellness as body, mind and spirit. Doing the self care work. Changing our mindset and letting our hearts lead.

Five years we have been invested in our wellness and, thankfully, taken so many people along the ride alongside of us, and we are just getting going.

Continued in comments...

Look at all of these wonderful humans!

Tonight we had the pleasure of joining over 70 of our team members for dinner. People with so many different gifts and talents who have chosen to show up as themselves to be a part of a bigger whole, and I am so incredibly grateful for each of them.

These people have vision, heart, and the passion to anchor it all in.

Thank you, Love & Valor, for being you.

Peace.

This week we are in Salt Lake City celebrating Young Living’s 25th Anniversary and grand convention. It’s such a fun week filled with 40,000 people, tons of events, lots of chatting and so much goodness.

I felt called to anchor in the week with a visit to Temple Square. It is a beautiful place of serene right within the city. As I sat, breathing, and relaxing, I took out my phone to take a picture and this is what I found.

Why is this view relevant?

Recently I have been contemplating peace and how to integrate peace even amidst chaos. What image can I imagine in my minds eye that would bring me a reminder of tapping into peace?

Instantly, I pictured laying near the ground looking up into the canopy of the trees, watching as the dappled light flowed through.

Lo and behold, here in this place, my reminder of peace manifested, and I anchored in.

A beautiful reminder of love and support all around me.

A beautiful reminder of how my inside reality creates my outer world.

SO ready for this week!

Let’s do this! 👊🏼 #peace #ylconvention2019 #youngliving #templesquare

Love is patient. Love is kind.
13 years ago we exclaimed our love for each other in front of our family and friends.
I am sure that I love you more today.
Happy Anniversary @cbrunngraeber .

There is a time and place for all actions we take. Every yes and every no we make is an action, and it is about being intentional with each one.

I’ve been feeling a whole lot of movement and shifting happening. Where there was once hesitation or confusion it is now feeling lighter and easier.
It’s all about being intentional with each action. Consciously choosing work, play AND rest.

Maybe this feels overwhelming at first, or intimidating because it means setting boundaries of what each moment will and will not contain. It may also feel like a lot of responsibility because of obtaining the awareness of just how many decisions are made. It is worth it. Being intentional is a crucial step to freedom.

You are capable.

Everything about this month is supporting us for this ownership and growth.
—-
Oils for supporting July’s intention
-
En-R-Gee: For giving a jumpstart to the energetic system for clarity, ownership and stepping forward. It’s like a kick in the pants, with ease and love. Intentional support, physically, mentally and emotionally, for the action during work and play.
-
Lavender: Calming and soothing for supporting the intentional times of rest. Also, great to use for soothing tension when facing the times of big bold action for more grace and gentleness.

While seemingly opposite these two oils can definitely work together. Especially alongside this intention.

Sending you so much love as you expand during the calling of this wonderful month of July 2019.

Love,
Amanda 💖

We are loving these summer days.

Immersed in the flow. Lots of play, lots of busy and lots of rest.

Thank goodness for seasons.

I often look to the trees for loving guidance. They regularly remind me to ground in, stand tall but flexible, and reach up towards the heavens above.

Their wisdom radiates into my heart.

It’s okay. Call me a #treehugger. I proudly own it.
