The Reason I'm 50 and Don't Need Readers
Today I want to share what I began doing daily at the end of March 2014 and started “seeing” the difference in just a few weeks. 

Notice these two pics of me…one was taken in September 2014 and the other was last month on the top of a mountain! Do you notice a difference about me besides location and a few more wrinkles and gray hair? If you said glasses…then you get a star! 

Before I go any further…everyone is created differently and can have different outcomes. This is my outcome/testimony and I’m so thankful for it.

No, I have not had eye surgery. Instead I began applying a drop of Young Living’s Frankincense to my temples and bridge of my nose and then the remaining Frankincense Vitality to the roof of my mouth. It tastes like an old friend now, but I remember thinking it was HORRIBLE for the first few weeks. 

Why did I keep putting my taste buds through that? Well at that oils party/class, it was shared that Frankincense was so beneficial for the brain and its long-term health. Well I latched onto that and determined I was going to use it daily all around my brain. Well…where was I surrounding with this daily application of Frankincense? My eyes!!

So fast forward several weeks of using Frankincense and I noticed my glasses were beginning to bother me/be annoying when I was sitting close to someone. After a few weeks of this I took myself to my eye doctor. After a thorough exam he said, “This is the weirdest thing but your vision is improving. That’s unusual for your age.” 

Well I got my glasses prescription updated, asked my friend who told me about oils if this was possible…YES…and went about living life, continuing to apply my drop of Frankincense everyday. Fast forward 7 months….my glasses were living on top of my head (like sunglasses) because I would put them on each morning in case I needed them, but immediately realized I didn’t and never would throughout the day. So in February 2015….I left them at home and haven’t needed them since. 

Thankfully my daily use of Frankincense is holding off the readers as well and I’m at the age those are becoming necessary for most of my friends.

 I’m loving the side-effects of using Frankincense everyday for my long-term brain health!!

Several years ago I was so anxious about life and not handling it well and definitely not sleeping well. My shoulders stayed bunched up and there were days I did more yelling at my girls than encouraging them. No matter if I slept super well (rarely) or not...the afternoons were a black hole for me because I had no energy to do anything. I almost never had 2 productive days in a row because I would be too tired. 


During this same time period our youngest daughter was missing dozens of days of school each year because she got sick with every germ that entered our county it seemed. I was SO tired of getting calls to go get her at school. I was also so tired of being so tired! 


It got so bad, in fact, that I was sure one night I was having heart issues. I took myself to my doctor. He ran tests and quickly determined it wasn’t my heart but anxiety. I left his office with a prescription for meds and told this was just part of my life at this stage of life. I took these for a few weeks, maybe a couple of months, but took myself off because I’ve never been a fan of meds and couldn’t really tell they were helping a whole lot. I still wasn’t in a good place between this anxiety and then having a sick kid home so many days when she should have been at school. But I just decided to paint on a happy face and make do.


A blogger I regularly read started posting about how she was helping her family stay well and feel better. I was super intrigued and wanted to learn more. Since I didn’t know her, I asked around until I found someone I knew to answer my questions and educate me a bit. Once I learned a bit I was sold and ready to go. I’ll be honest though...I thought it was just a neat thing. I had NO IDEA it was going to help me and our family in so many life-changing ways.


I love that I don’t feel wound up tight anymore and can enjoy this life I have been blessed with. Our daughter doesn’t miss school for being sick anymore. In fact, she’s on her 2nd or 3rd year of no missed days for being sick. I have so much more energy all day long and I’m sleeping so much better. I don’t have to paint on a happy face anymore...I actually feel happy and am positively thriving in so many areas of life now, not just surviving.


Guess what? My daughters are thriving too because our relationship is SO much better because they feel better but they are around a mama that is not yelling at them but being an encourager and positive motivator in their lives. It's made all the difference!
