By now, we have all heard of, and seen, the devastation in Lahaina, Maui, HI due to fires that swept through the city last week. Maui holds a special place in my heart and remains a dream retirement destination for me. Realistically, I may not retire there BUT, I will go back to Kihei to swim with the dolphins and turtles, watch for the whales to come into the bay, and just enjoy the solitude I find when I am there.

I shared on Facebook last week that the Young Living Foundation had set up a way for us to help in  raising funds to help the people of Lahaina. This morning, I received the following in an email from Young Living. This was sent to our YL members who live on Maui. It outlines how they (Young Living) will be directly (not just through the Foundation) helping them. It was also shared with members not living on Maui so that we are aware of what is happening.

 

Dear Valued Member,  

Though we can't fathom the real-time stress and devastation you're facing in Maui, know that we stand united in solidarity. While we can't walk in your shoes, we're working tirelessly to provide assistance and relief in the wake of the recent fires. As the Young Living family, we're joining forces to ensure you feel our unwavering love. Our dedicated Member Services team will be calling you, not just to check in, but also give you available resources.

We’ve provided those resources below.

Resources Available

1. Young Living Maui Relief Hotline: A dedicated support team is available at 1-801-609-6475, ready to provide support and answer questions.

2. Essentials Kits: The Young Living team has put together complimentary kits with personal hygiene items like Lavender Mint Conditioner & Shampoo, Sacred Mountain & Charcoal Bar Soap, Kidscents Toothpaste, Aroma Brite Toothpaste, Dental Floss, and 15mL Lavender & Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood Single Essential Oil. You can obtain a kit by contacting the hotline, and all kits will be shipped at no cost to you.

3. Loyalty Rewards Support: Brand Partners and customers will be able to pause their loyalty rewards for as long as needed without losing their status or discounts.

We have also reached out to all Young Living members and employees to ensure they are armed with the best knowledge on how to donate most effectively to legitimate organizations – the ones doing good work on the ground, where YOU will feel the results firsthand. We have invited them to donate to the Maui Strong Fund at the Honolulu-based Hawaii Community Foundation. The D. Gary Young Foundation will be matching donations up to $20,000, organized by Brand Partners. The Foundation will also be contributing $20,000 to efforts by Convoy of Hope, which, has have been distributing essential supplies like food, water, sports drinks, hygiene items, and more.

How can I help? It’s difficult not to feel helpless during tragic moments like these. For those wanting to help, we’ve provided some resources below. Prior to donating with any organization, research is crucial to ensure your contribution aids those in need. Focus on Hawaiian nonprofits with a track record of rapid response, reputable global organizations, and check for any administrative fees to ensure 100% impact.

● Convoy of Hope: The D. Gary Young Foundation will be making a $20,000 donation to Convoy of Hope, a well-recognized humanitarian aid organization with a heart for those who are suffering, with whom we have partnered in the past. Convoy of Hope met with Hawaii Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke, identifying pressing needs. Over the weekend, the organization sourced essential supplies locally and continues to work alongside local church partners to manage donations.

● Maui Strong Fund: Young Living believes that it is our duty to give hope to those who need it most. The D. Gary Young Foundation will also be matching donations up to $20,000 to the Maui Strong Fund at the Honolulu-based Hawaii Community Foundation, organized by Brand Partners Richard and Kimmy Brooks, who live on Lanai. Donations will support local nonprofits that are providing food, shelter, and immediate financial assistance. Those who are able and inclined may choose to donate here. There are no administrative fees; 100% of the funds will be distributed for community needs.

● Tap into your network: In such times, unity is paramount. To magnify the donation message, target your allies and audiences. Whether through a Facebook share or personal outreach, your impact can be profound. Sensitivity is crucial, given the financial challenges many are facing.

As we stand together, let's remember the Hawaiian wisdom: "Ho'okahi ka 'ilau like ana" – by working together, we can achieve great things.
Friends, I have heard a lot of criticism by a handful of people that left our company over the last couple of years but I do not buy into their nonsense, and hope you do not either. I have never worked for, or with, a company that truly cares about the lives of others the way Young Living does. They are there, day in and day out, to support people in whatever way they can. In disasters, be they natural or manmade, Young Living steps up in ways I have not experienced with other companies. 

If you are looking for a way to help, you can click on this link... https://www.younglivingfoundation.org/fundraiser/donate/maui-fire and it will take you to the page the YL Foundation has set up for us to do just that. I know, and trust, that every penny of our donations go directly to supporting the people of Lahaina. 

Thank you for listening and your help...

Essentials for the young and the young at heart
When it comes to the health of our families, we want the best for everyone, including our children. Sadly, the conventional options for supplements, personal care and children's health are severely lacking (and often cause more harm than good). One thing we love about the YL products is that we can use natural, effective options for both ourselves and our kiddos! Whether or not you have little feet running through your house, you'll love these favorites for the young and the young at heart! 

* Lavender Hand & Body Lotion: For soft, healthy skin.

* GeneYus Roll-on: For focus & clarity.

* Super C Chewable Tablets: A plant-based superfood!

* MightyZymes: For happy digestion.

* TummyGize Roll-on: For happy bellies.

* SniffleEase Roll-on: For easing sniffles.

Add these favorites to your Loyalty Rewards order for even more perks! I mean, is there anything better than your favorite, healthy products showing up on your doorstep each month? What about getting free products and product credits just for ordering things you're already using? Sounds like a winning situation to us! Which is why we love ordering using the Loyalty Rewards. We ditch conventional, toxic products for safe, clean Young Living versions, save money, save time, create a natural home, and get freebies all at the same time! 

To set up a Loyalty order, search for the products on the ‘Essentials' list, then click ‘Add to Loyalty Order.' You can manage your subscriptions by going to ‘My Account' and ‘Loyalty Order'. You can edit your order each month to reflect what you need (hello easy button!), change the order date and shipping options. Just make sure to order 50PV minimum each month in order to maintain and increase your percentage back in points! Every time you hit a qualifying PV threshold (100PV, 190PV, 250PV and 300PV), you will automatically add free oils or products to your order!

Lavender Hand & Body Lotion

Made with plant-based ingredients—and no parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances, or animal-derived ingredients—this calming, herbaceous body lotion is a favorite for everyone in the family! Use daily after bathing, for tender skin that has seen too much sun or wind, or use for a gentle bedtime massage.

GeneYus Roll-on

We might just call this one focus in a bottle. With grounding Frankincense and calming Cedarwood, alongside other botanicals, KidScents GeneYus is excellent to use when children need to re-center during homework time. But this pre-diluted roller isn't just for kids! GeneYus is a favorite of many adults for its aroma tat helps to create productive, positive atmospheres.

Super C Chewable Tablets

Super C Chewable Tablets prove 150mg of plant based Vitamin C in one serving (one tablet). The Vitamin C in these tablets is from Acerola cherry powder, Camu camu fruit powder, and Rosehip fruit powder. Super C Chewable tablets also contain organic stevia, citrus bioflavonoids, and Orange essential oil. Talk about an antioxidant and nutrition powerhouse! Super C Chewable tablets are one of our daily favorites.

MightyZymes

Enzymes are crucial to our health and digestion, and in an ideal world our foods would be rich in natural enzymes. Unfortunately the average diet and even the soil quality of our produce lead us to be sorely depleted in enzymes at an early age. Without these little workers, we are not assimilating the nutrients that we need, and we all know that growing bodies need those nutrients! These chewable enzyme talbots area great choice for kids and adults alike.  

TummyGize Roll-on

This pre-diluted blend of Ginger, Tangerine, Fennel, and other belly-loving essential oils is naturally soothing for tiny tummies. But it isn't just for kids! We love this convenient roll-on for adults as well. This is one roller we are never without and one that will make a believer out of anyone skeptical!

SniffleEase Roll-on

Ease sniffles for tiny noses and adult noses alike with this fresh, crisp eucalyptus blend that is pre-diluted for easy application! This Young Living exclusive is formulated for children ages two and up and can be applied directly to the chest or throat. A gentle blend of Eucalyptus, Palo Santo, R.C, and other respiratory support oils, SniffleEase is another roller we keep in our arsenal at all times.



Self-care

Self-care

I happened upon this image this morning and it got me to thinking about self-care.

Self-care used to be this "thing" I thought had to be long involved, complicated, and selfish.

Over time, I've learned that is far from the truth!!! It can be as simple or as complicated is you want to make it AND it is far from selfish. 

Self-care is necessary, especially if you are working, caring for, or loving others. You know that saying... you cannot pour from an empty cup? It is 100% true!! 

Start today, even if it is only 5 minutes...

What are you going to do??
