Sometimes all you need is a little change of scenery to shake up the monotony of the daily grind.
Last weekend, I did a just that with a trip to Salt Lake City. It was a short trip (left Friday AM, got back Saturday PM), but just enough for me to be reinspired, see life from a new perspective and miss my kids–yes, even the whining and my daily alarm clock question, “Can you make me breakfast?”.
I was attending doTERRA’s (the essential oils company I work with) gigantic annual convention for the first time. Me and 18,000 other oil lovers! There were great presentations on new doTERRA products, how to use oils for specific health needs, talks about business, and stories about the work that doTERRA’s charitable organization, Healing Hands, does.
Since I went alone, I also got to engage in a America’s favorite pastime:
PEOPLE WATCHING!
Here’s what learned about the people who are interested in these healing oils:
- very young cute couples with wee babies
- posh ladies of a certain age (you know, the ones with the shoes and matching purses with a scarf tied around the handle)
- yoga lovers
- groovy hippie chicks and dudes
- conservative religious types
- older husbands and wives
- men dressed for casual Friday at the office
- and more women of every shape, size and age group
To sum up: basically people from every walk of life recognizing their power over their own health. It was inspiring to see so many different kinds of folks, loving essential oils.
Now, I don’t know what a 4H convention smells like, but I have to imagine that what it smells like is the exact opposite of a doTERRA convention. The air was Heavenly! And not just in the convention center. The whole downtown (and airport) took on the scent of precious oils. You could smell the doTERRA fans coming!
There was so much that I took away from the event, and I’ll share more in future posts. Today, let me fill you in on the new doTERRA products.

At the convention, we sampled TerraGreens with Trimshake Vanilla, almond milk and Lime essential oil. I was expecting to choke it down, but it was creamy and delicious!
I also tried it mixed with just water. Also, equally pleasant. I think the kids might even go for it!
Wrap up!
There you have it-something for everyone!
Being at the convention shook up three goals for me. Now, these are goals I strive for everyday, but like I said, sometimes we need a change of scenery to remember WHY we do what we do.
My three goals:
- lead (by example!) my family to make healthy choices in their lifestyles
- share what I’ve learned in both health and business
- build my businesses so I can take care of my family and others
