Lemon is Essential

As one of the top-selling Essential Oils, Lemon has multiple benefits and uses. Lemon is a powerful cleansing agent that purifies the air, disinfects surfaces, and can be used as a non-toxic cleaner throughout the home.

When added to water, it provides a refreshing and healthy boost throughout the day. Lemon is frequently added to food to enhance the flavor of desserts and main dishes.

Due to its high limonene content, Lemon is a powerful antioxidant that can help ward off free radicals. Taken internally, it provides cleansing and digestive benefits, can soothe an irritated throat, and supports healthy respiratory function.

When diffused, Lemon is very uplifting and energizing and has been shown to improve mood and cognitive ability.

• Cleanses and purifies the air and surfaces.

• Naturally cleanses the body and aids in digestion.*

Backpacking with my Boys!

So, here’s the deal. I LOVE the outdoors!! I LOVE hiking!! I LOVE being in nature with the smell of pine trees all around and the sound of a flowing creek nearby. I LOVE hanging out with my two boys.

But - to be honest - when they expressed their desire to go backpacking last year - I was a bit hesitant. I hadn’t slept in a tent in nature since I was a kid. I could have said NO - that I’m too old, that I’m more of a “day hiker, and that I didn’t have time for that. I am so thankful that I did not say any of those things - but instead I emailed my good friend, Linda, and asked if she would take us out on our first backpacking adventure! (Linda is a backpacking expert and really knows all the ins and outs). 

We planned our first trip - a year ago - and saw some of the most beautiful Colorado mountains and scenery you will ever find. We hiked 26 miles in 3 days - including a 14’er (Mt. Belford). I was not used to a tent and sleeping out in the wilderness, but my boys LOVED it - they slept great and we had the time of our lives.

So - this year rolled around - and we were ready to tackle our 2nd backpacking trip - with the help of Linda of course. 🙂 We knew what we were in for. Again - it was an AMAZING time with my boys and friend Linda - we hiked, fished, sat in nature, drank hot cider, laughed, laughed some more, and enjoyed being in God’s beautiful mountains. So - here’s my challenge to you: Set another goal -- Dream a new Dream!

Do something you are nervous about. Do something with your kids/friends - just because they want to. Challenge yourself. Do something you think you can’t do - or that maybe you don’t want to do. You might surprise yourself! 

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” C.S. Lewis
