I started this account several weeks ago and then deleted it overnight. I kept thinking, “How could I share my knowledge about essential oils when I DON’T HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ESSENTIAL OILS?!”
“Unqualified,” was the primary word that kept rolling around in my mind, along with other words like, “fear,” “failure,” and “doubt,” and if I’m honest? They’re STILL rolling around in there...
But it’s 1:47am and I woke up thinking about this AGAIN. And I went to bed tonight after, just like EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK, searching Instagram for recipes and ideas on how to better care for my family and myself using these oils. Because in spite of my fears and uncertainties, I believe in these oils and their amazing benefits. THERE, l SAID IT, I’M A BELIEVER. Why is it so hard for us to admit that things are important to us sometimes?
Basically, here’s what I’m saying: I’m an essential oil rookie. No doubt about it. I still have SO SO MUCH to learn. But if you want to learn about oils WITH someone, walk this journey towards greater health and wellness ALONGSIDE someone...if you want a community to LINK ARMS WITH...well, it just so happens: I’m putting a squad together. That’s right: ROOKIES UNITE.
Calling all the unqualified, the unsure, the doubters, the fearful, the not-even-close-to-perfects: you’re welcome here. Because here, THIS, is a place for ragtag rookies just doing the best they can everyday, showing up for their lives, to be ok with not having it all together...or at least, we’re trying to be.
So: what do you say? Need a partner in crime? Need a judgement-free zone? Need a community that is ok with not having all the answers? You’re in the right place. Let’s do it TOGETHER. Let’s explore health and faith and wholeness and grace and families and strength and whatever else is on our hearts.
Rookie? You’re welcome here.
