It’ s safe to say that summer has officially arrived. I decided to kick off our summer fun with a few at Disneyland, in sunny CA. All though its located in the same state that we live in, it is a good 7 to 8 hour drive from our home, so we opted for a quick trip by plane.
My youngest daughter, Faith, who will be turning nine in just a few short days, was so excited about our trip, however, not so excited about taking a plane. She’s never been on a plane ride, except for when she was a baby, but of course does not remember. She was nervous and anxious, but sailed through the experience like a true champion. We took a “bus” not “jet” so I have to point out that the ride was a bit rocky, the landing was a bit scary even by my standards. But she did great!
I was so looking forward to this three day trip away from the hussle and bussle of home life, even though there really isn’t much going there is always that sense of having to “take care of things”, answer phones when they ring, set recorders on the DVR when the kids all want to watch different movies or shows. And then of course there is the feeding and keeping of children, and dogs…I haven’t decided after all these years which is actually easiest.
Our trip was a huge success, I even got a chance to visit with my oldest daughter, Britt, who will be turning a quarter of century old this year, I can’t believe she has grown up, she’s not even my “little girl” anymore, she is now a beautiful, smart and extremely witty/funny woman. She is gorgeous, I am not just saying this either because she’s my daughter, she’s beautiful. Tall, dark skinned, beautiful shinny hair that is outshined by her big beautiful brown eyes. Just gorgeous!!!
We got to visit, share stories, I got to catch up on her busy life, what it’s like to live in L.A., just blocks away from the big parks, Disneyland and California Adventure. I have to admit I got choked up when I got on the plane to come home. I was really enjoying myself. Having been weighed down for the last few years with Fibro, I haven’t had a chance to vacation much if at all. Not because its impossible, but I have a husband who apparently feels that its to much trouble to have to make things “workable” for me for the camping trips we used take, I get it. I live with it daily, I of all people know how frustrating it can be when you are right in the middle of your trip, having so much fun when all of the sudden the trip is over because I can’t walk, or a migraine takes over, or my stomach, and sleeping on a trailer cot is out of the question. But, I haven’t gotten, nor will I ever get to the place where I feel that I should not try anymore because of it. Not all trips end badly. In fact, this trip we took, all though I didn’t move quite as quickly as my fellow Disneyland visitors, I did my best, and managed somehow to keep up with my daughter. She’s not a huge “ride” fan, so I wasn’t forced to stand in long hot lines waiting for rides that only lasted ten minutes if that.
We enjoyed so many things, and I have to say, the parks, both of them, have enough things to do and see that everyone, regardless of your likes, or dislikes, your health or physical limitations, can enjoy them a 100%!!!
It was so nice to just be, to have fun, to not have to worry about something being cleaned, fixed, wiped up or off, and to have people wait on me for a change. What I love the best about Disneyland is that whether you are 5 or 95 it brings out the inner child in all of us!
All though I was saddened at the reality of having to go home, I was excited about a few things that I had to look forward to when I got home! A few weeks before we left, after years of searching, I indulged myself into the world of essential oils.
I am so excited!!!!! I am now a Young Living Essential Oils distributor and I love their stuff! I became a distributor, not to sell but to truly enjoy and reap the extreme benefits this company offers. They are amazing! Their oils and wellness products! I am so excited that I now have access to Young Living, YL is the best and largest manufacturer of the highest grade essential oils and herbal supplements on the market, in the world! I know because I have searched for years! Why am I so excited? Because out of all of the aids, medicines, wellness products, many have made claims that said they could help fibromyalgia. They never really helped much, but I have been working with essential oils now for a few months and am happy to report that they are changing my life. My goal is to get off of all the chemical drugs that I have been putting into my body for the past few years to help me with my pains, insomnia, IBS, and the list goes on. So many things are under the Fibro umbrella. I had to do something, I refused to live my life on the couch, in pain and unable to move.
On my quest to “get healthy”, and try to get rid of and tackle, well, just plain kick it in the ass, I’ve been battling FM (Fibromyalgia) and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrom) and I’m not gonna lie, it has been a struggle. It has taken away much to much of my time, my life with my kids, my husband and my friends and family.
I realized that as an intuitive medium and empath, I am also really susceptible to others pains and illnesses, this can sometimes increase the fatigue and loss of energy I feel. I made the decision that I was going to find a “cure” for what “ailed” me. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for FM or CFS but I can attest to the fact that since I have brought the Young Living Essential Oils and their health supplements such as the NingXia Red (a juice like product that is filled with wonderful nutrients) into my daily life, I have felt better and have more energy. I have learned so much from a wonderful woman named Pamela Heyen, a wellness professional and extremely knowledgeable person, and is also a “big wig” at Young Living, I believe that she and I were probably sisters in a previous life! I will be putting up some links and a new page on my website for those of you who are interested, in just a day or two so thanks in advance for your patience!
Wishing you all wellness, light, love and happiness!
This is my wish for my children, that they all live happily ever after! But that they also learn to enjoy the “…” that is in between.
