Hi! I’m Sarah!

Grief. One word, so many forms. Sadness, guilt, frustration, even joy. 

This experience is a normal part of our human existence yet we rarely talk about it with one another. It’s time to change that. 

This week I am joined by Nikki Specht for a candid discussion about grief and how to cope when you lose someone you love. 

Nikki’s world was turned upside down with she lost her beloved older sister. That day changed her life and 8 years later you can still hear the care in her voice when she talks about her. 

Now a counselor, Nikki shares how essential oils helped her heal and find peace when she needed it most. Her advice comes from a place of understanding and is as thoughtful as it is useful. 

If you or a loved one are working through grief, this episode is a wonderful place to find support and healing.

Our DIY Dugout: A Joyful Rub

From: Deb Edwards, Annandale, Minnesota


Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons beeswax 

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil 

  • 1/4 cup olive oil 

  • 50 drops Orange essential oil 

  • 40 drops Stress Away essential oil 

  • 30 drops Joy essential oil 


Directions: 

  • On top of double boiler, melt beeswax, stirring occasionally. Add coconut oil and stir as it melts. Add olive oil, stir until mixed well. Cool for about 5 minutes (it shouldn’t be hardening yet). Add oils, stir, pour into containers. I used one ounce tins and it made about 8 tins.It should set in under 20 minutes. Rub a bit over your heart, on wrists, neck, temples or anywhere your heart tells you. Deb says “Sometimes you just need a little more joy in your life. This ‘rub’ helps to recall loving times, relieve stress, enjoy life and smell great! I often use it in place of perfume!”
