Have you ever come across a person that is wise beyond their years? I come across that almost everyday with the people who are around me and I feel lucky for that. Doug surprises me so often with the words that come out of his mouth. Granted sometimes I look at him like what in the heck are you talking about? But then other days I’m kind of in awe by how much he enlightens me with his wisdom.

I’ve had people tell me that I’m settling because I am with him. He doesn’t have a four year degree, he hated school, he doesn’t have a specific career that he loves, he’s not perfect. But, he knows every movie reference you will talk about, he can navigate anywhere on this planet (I’m convinced he has a compass in his forehead), he’s hilarious, and gosh he is wise. He gets people, he gets along with everyone. I can literally take him anywhere and don’t have to worry about him saying something stupid. He supports me. He helps me when I need the help. I can lean on him when I need some strength. He cooked me just about every meal every single day that I was getting my Master’s Degree. He rubs my feet…

Ok Ok, I will stop because I’m sure you all don’t care about how great he is. My whole point here is that it just doesn’t matter if your wife or husband doesn’t fit the mold of what other people think they should. Other people don’t matter when it comes to your personal relationship.

There are so many people that have touched my soul lately and sometimes I just sit in awe at how beautiful people’s brains are. I had a lengthy call today with my brother about energy and how we have to not give so much energy to others that we end up losing our spark. In this endless drain of work and go go go, we have to take time for ourselves. We have to make sure others aren’t taking our souls. No one is worth that.

It’s also important to take notice of the here and now and how beautiful people are. Everyone in our lives are in our lives for us to learn something. Even if people hurt you, they were there to teach you something. So, get up dust your shoulders off and learn from it. Don’t let it kill you. I know how hitting rock bottom feels. It feels like fear, it feels like a sick stomach and wanting to puke.

If I didn’t have Doug and all the amazing people around me, I would have let fear win. While I’m not totally there yet, I’m one step closer to feeling like Ashley again and I am getting to be pretty stoked about life. If I didn’t have Young Living and all of it’s different products to help me center myself, help with stress, help my nutrition… I think I’d still be at rock bottom. So, stop and take notice of the good in your life and stop focusing on the negative. (Doug said that same line to me last night).

If you’re dealing with a hard time or are even in a good time and want some natural nutrition support, contact me. Let’s grow together. I mean, what are you waiting for? Right here and now is the time to make a change for the better.
