Ready to Quit Smoking?

We all know smoking is not healthy for us, 

those around us, or the environment. 

Ready to Quit?

My mother learned the hard way that smoking is not healthy for us. Her sore throat wouldn't go away so she went to her doctor to get it checked out. Ouch! There was something growing in the roof of her

mouth. The surgeon explained to us that he would cut out "the part that Tweety Bird hangs on to when Sylvester swallows him".  He then had to take cheek and esophagus tissue to rebuild the roof of her mouth. Imagine your sorest sore throat and magnify that by about 1,000 times. She had a feeding tube run through her nose- which irritated her nose - down her throat since she wouldn't be able to eat for a while because of the surgery. Also there was considerable swelling, so she had to have a tracheotomy in order to breathe and talk. Pain on top of pain. She told me that I wasn't any good at charades when I didn't always understand what she was trying to tell me. She would give up and write it down. Sorry, Mother. She did get better, but life was not the same. Please don't do that to yourself. Quit smoking, or better yet, don't start.

 Secondhand smoke isn't healthy either. I made a decision to not smoke since I had been around it when I was growing up. Imagine my surprise when I found a lump that had to be removed, followed by intense medication and radiation. I said, no way, I don't smoke. Yes way. Secondhand smoke does its damage, too.  Like my mother, I got better, but life is not the same. Still, I'm glad I had my surgery and not hers. Please, don't do that to others with your secondhand smoke.

Have you gone to a restaurant or an outdoor event, been enjoying yourself, when all of a sudden, your throat closes up on you? What happened? Someone was smoking and the wind shifted so that you were breathing the environmental smoke. It has happened to me before. Also, when my mother was a smoker, you could walk into the house and know a smoker lived there. The smell got in clothes, hair, the curtains, - everything in the house. She collected Avon bottles for a while, gave some away to friends and relatives, and gave the rest of them to me.  I took pictures of them, found out what they were worth, and put together a photo album of sorts. I thought (don't ask me where these different sized fonts came from because I don't know. I tried correcting it, but nothing happened. Oh, well.)

GASP.ORG.UK sells resources about smoking.
 I liked this graphic for the subject of this blog.

she might like for me to do that. While I was cataloging them, I noticed that there was sticky nicotine residue even on the ones that hadn't been opened. Smoking is not good for the environment either.

2015 Goals

Goals for 2015

 One of my goals is to be able to create great graphics like this.

Thank you LemonDropper for creating it. 

Pat Brown ID# 1557435

  Goals are important. Every year I make a New Year's resolution, but I don't seem to be able to keep it. 2015 will be different because I shall set some goals and reach them with the help of Young Living oils. Looks like I have several of these oils already to help me reach my 2015 goals. Click on my name & ID# to find out how to get your oils and reach your 2015 goals.

1. 2015 goals here I come. 
2.  I don't know about you, but I need to loose a few pounds that found me during Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
3.  I'm a member of TRTA (Texas Retired Teacher Assoc.); it encourages volunteering. Don't be a couch potato, go help someone - there are many ways: food, card, phone call, visit, Pink Lady at the hospital, read to/with someone, Titus County Cares, local organizations, Young Living, and the list goes on. Also, we help others when we share knowledge and oils. 
4. I don't smoke, but it's good to know what oils may help a person quit. However, we are occasionally exposed to second hand smoke.
5. My motto as a teacher is that you never stop learning, and I haven't. Do you know everything there is to know about Young Living Oils? I don't, but it surely is fun and interesting learning about them. Guess what. We are all teachers!
6. When I retired, someone told me not to retire, but to redirect. What better direction than Young Living?

7. I'm pretty sure we all enjoy saving money. Aren't you glad Young Living has an Essential Rewards program to help you save money, earn free oils, and earn points to save up for more free products? Wow! Thank you Young Living. 
8. Anybody have a stress free life? I don't, so we can surely put those oils to good use.
9. Hoo Boy, do I feel miserable when I overindulge in sweets. I get the do nothings and feel blah - and my clothes shrink. Not a happy camper. Definitely need to eat healthier and get fit. The kiddos gave my husband an exercise bike for Father's Day. I think I hear it calling my name. I wonder if I can scoot the seat up and type while I'm riding. Maybe not, but I'll bet I can read - lots of great reading to learn more about Young Living. I'll have to figure out how to scoot the seat up first - maybe get a big cushioned tractor seat. I'll let you know how it works out.

10. Aargh. (I looked up on Ask.com  - see you never stop learning. LOL) Anyway, that is how I feel about reducing debt - aargh. Sometimes it seems impossible, but We Can Do It. Are you with me? One way is by getting your oils wholesale instead of retail. 
11. Are you ready to Take A Vacation???? After all, all work and no play isn't good for you. We must remember, though, that all play and no work isn't good for you either. So, strike a happy balance and go for the goal of a fantastic vacation. Ecuador or France anyone? You can also take your pick from farms in Peru, Israel, Oman, Taiwan, or four in the United States.

2014 has been an eventful year - looking forward to 2015 and reaching my goals.

Peppermint Isn't Just for Candy Any More.

Don't you just love to see a bowl of peppermint candy so you can grab a piece after you have indulged yourself at the table? Or, at Christmas time, have the children decorate a candy cane to look like a reindeer with googly eyes and pipe cleaner antlers to hang on the tree? I do.  However, Peppermint isn't just for candy any more. Check out this link:  Peppermint and Irritable Bowel Syndrome .

I looked at several articles - one mentioned that she did her oil pulling as she took her shower (but I don't remember which one). Seems like a good idea. That way you don't have to 'watch the clock'.

"Happy Fall Y'all"

I Love the Fall - the excitement of pep rallies, football games, and cool, crisp air filled with the beautiful colors of falling leaves. Fun, family, and friends.   I tried to insert a video of some of the MPHS teachers performing at the pep rally, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. They actually did pretty good.  Picture in  your mind some of the antics your teachers did at pep rallies. Like I said, "Fun, family, and friends."

"Happy Fall Y'all"

Which scent puts the 'Happy' in your Fall?

Here is another aspect of fall in this Nat King Cole rendition of Autumn Leaves.  Enjoy.

You say either (I-ther);

Which will you choose?

Another likes Peace & Calmi

The effects are similar; I think it comes down to personal preference of the fragrance. 

Unfortunately you can't smell them over the computer, but here is a video you might be glad you watched. It is a YouTube recording from a Special Ed teacher.

Natural Antibiotic - Inner Defense

Inner Defense blend looks like a good one. I have a bottle of each of the oils listed, but I don't have them blended together. When you go to the doctor and he prescribes an antibiotic, here it is, a natural antibiotic already blended for you. 

Thieves is the first oil I was introduced to. My chiropractor would

have it diffusing in her office. I loved the smell of it and bought a bottle from her as well as a diffuser so I could use it at home. If I got a cold or sore throat, out came the Thieves. I got well quick since I would also rub it on the bottom of my feet. I would aIso put it on my neck, but it may be too hot for some people since it has cinnamon and cloves in it. Just rub some olive oil, almond oil, or the Young Living V6 oil on to dilute it a little (20/80) (p2.94). Thieves is another natural antibiotic, with an interesting story behind the name, but I'll save that for another post.

Oregano is a natural antibiotic with many medical properties:

antiaging, powerful antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, and an immune stimulant. Not only that, but you can cook with it too, just be careful and not use too much - only a drop, and taste before adding more. Oregano is listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). (p2.69)

ThymeThyme (Thymus vulgaris) has a spicy, warm, herbaceous aroma that is both powerful and penetrating. Known since ancient times as a medicinal herb, thyme contains large amounts of thymol. As a dietary supplement, it is one of the strongest antioxidants known. Thyme supports the immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous, and other body systems.* Thyme may also be used to enhance the flavor of food. Thyme has an approximate ORAC of 159,590 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter.

Thyme is one natural antibiotic that has been around for a while. It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medial records, the Ebers Papyrus (dating from 16th century B.C.). (p2.86)

Lemongrass along with Lemon Myrtle, Mountain Savory, Cinnamon, and Melissa essential oils have the highest levels if inhibitory activity against MRSA (staff infection).(p 6.20) This is important to me because one of my grandsons contracted a staff infection five times. Quite scary to me. The third or forth one was on his back, and he was advised to bathe in bleach water to help kill the infection. I gave my daughter some Thieves household cleaner and suggested that she put a capful in the tub instead of bleach. When diffused, Thieves is also highly effective against staff. So, by using Inner Defense, you have a natural antibiotic that can battle MRSA and Staphylococcus aureus. (p 6.20)

The medical facts in this post were taken from the Essential Oils Desk Reference, Special Fifth Edition.
