In 1961, my nursing instructor, Mrs. Norman, held up a tube of toothpaste and said, “If there’s a caution label, why put it in your mouth? Your mucous membranes send it straight to your bloodstream.” That moment lit a fuse.

At 18, I drove 90 minutes to the nearest health food store to buy a safer toothpaste. Since then, I’ve followed that inner compass toward cleaner, purer living—swapping out toxins for trust.

When I found Young Living in 2002, it was like flipping a switch. These oils didn’t just smell good—they became partners in my daily life, helping me sleep, focus, breathe easier, and bounce back from stress. At 81, they still help me pursue my dreams.

I often say: Outside of my soul, these oils are the best tools I’ve ever found.
