Dabbling in Oils

Dabbling in Oils We're just a short stop on your online journey that might share some fun or enlightening information about life, self-care, entertainment and essential oils.

Or not. I'm a dabbler. I admit it. I like to experience all kinds of things to see if they might work in my life. I've dabbled in hobbies -- ice skating (what a disaster - weak ankles), gymnastics (scared too death of the blackflip so that went nowhere) and ultimately ended up in dance (ballet, Cecchetti method). When I found dance, I found my home -- at least for a decade. Then I matured out at t

he old age of 18. I've dabbled in careers -- human resources (too boring), marketing (too wide) and ultimately, public relations and communications (just right). It seems I love to know secrets. I've dabbled in religions -- started out a Catholic (too strict for me), went to Christian VBS in the summers (wonderful memories), moved to a more out-of-the-box exploration (dancing under the moon so mote it be) and finally landed in Judaism...well, I like to say I'm a Jew light. (More to be revealed) I've dabbled in wellness but I don't mean the "let's eat sprouts" kind -- yes, I said sprouts not quinoa because when I was growing up, sprouts were all the rage. More like, eating natural because we lived in a rural community. I love meat...I'm sorry, but I do. I've seen a chiro since I was a child -- it helped that it was my uncle. But despite these things, I've suffered from lots of ailments or "spells" as my family likes to call them. So lately, I've been dabbling in essential oils for my spells. I'm trying to learn about them and want to use this space to share my experiences, strength and hope with you. (Do you have spells too?) The good, the bad and the ugly. I hope you'll join me on my essential oils journey. BTW, I will NOT give up my caffeine. There, I said it.

Never. Ever. Again.
I rented a 20ft w a car trailer to start my new life in Savannah.

Before making it to St. Louis, a tire blew. Nearly 3 hours later, we were back on the road. They had to replace TWO tires because the second one was ready to blow too.

We drove all night and at sunrise, we were heading into Atlanta when the other side of trucks tires—BOTH—blew off. We are currently waiting on roadside AGAIN.

I’m astonished at U-Haul. We could’ve been in a serious accident — TWICE! WTH?

Oh to be back in Italy right now.

I had a good streak going, taking small actions each day that were leading me to my goals. Then I had one of those days that cut my legs out from under me. It wasn’t a bad day…just a very FULL one. ( is to blame — ) 🌟

They say once you fall, get back up. It takes me a day or two to get back up nowadays but because I’m determined, have an incredibly strong group of people who cheer me on and a framework that helps motivate me, I’m back on track. So this morning, I reset my app and checked off 2 of my 3 daily actions. The third will happen later today. ✨

It’s amazing how much progress I’ve made in the past 9 months. I set some goals back in July 2021 that I thought would take longer to reach…NOPE. I’ve always believed you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to, but now I have a plan to get there. 💥

Happy Irish Day!

Each of us is on a journey in life. I certainly didn't know where mine was headed on March 2, 1991.

It was a typical Saturday night in Hollywood -- booze, drugs and a wild game of Yahtzee because, well, because that's how I rolled (and frankly, I wasn't going anywhere due to my love of drinking). 🍾

On a solid Yahtzee roll, I fell over onto the game board and started having a seizure. My brother helped me through it and my next move was to add more poison to my body. It was in that moment that I knew I had to stop...I didn't want to but I had to.

The next day I stopped drinking and using anything stronger than Tylenol. And for the last 11,323 days, I have been sober.

I thought when I got sober that my life was over.
No more fun times.
No more laughter.
No more silliness.
No more joy.
I was SO wrong. My life had just begun. 🎉🎉🎉

So today, I thank all of you who have played a significant part in this wonderful journey I've been on for the past 31 years. Friends who have trudged this road with me are some of my very favorite people. Those who cheered me on while holding their beer that they didn't finish -- which I'll never understand. Those who have helped me learn to laugh at myself. Those who stood by me through the tough times. Those who were there in the beginning when it was minute by minute.

In the past 31 years, I've not left my jeans in the dorm broom closet, forgotten where I left my car the night before, or wondered if I mouthed off to someone of importance -- because I usually know when I do that today. I've been sober my daughter's entire life!

Like many of us, this past year has kicked my ass. I've had many personal challenges and am still walking through some of them. Some challenges can affect soberity -- either by convincing you to relapse or by solidifying your soberity. Remember that we don't know where another person has walked to get to this point in their life. Be kind.

And if you have a problem with drugs or alcohol, reach out to AA. You may not hear your story right away but I guarantee if you stick around long enough, you'll identify.

Some days are easier than others. Today…not so much.

Life is a journey. Are you where you want to be? 😳

Where you are in life, is just where you are...it's not WHO you are.
You were designed for greatness and a purpose.

Life is short.

I'm here to tell you that you are never too young or too old to change the path you are on. 2022 can be YOUR year! 🎉🎉🎉

My point is I'm taking back control of my dreams and goals.
I'm living intentionally again.
I've accomplished quite a bit but I've got a whole lot more that I want. My dreams are BIG!!!
Are yours?

I am hosting a call next week on Wednesday December 15th at 6:30 PM PACIFIC TIME to outline my plan to crush my goals next year.

I'd love to have you join me. Let's crush 2022 together.
