Good Morning! 
The Lion's Gate portal opened two days ago, on 8/8, as it does every year. This was quite a bestowment of beauty, rising energies, and clarity.
Boundaries are a prominent theme for me, as we get clear, and this arose big time for me through this time of Cosmic excitement.
Here in the Truckee Meadows, most kids are back in classrooms all of a sudden, some for the first time since June 2020. This reminds us all of the need to honor and respect seen, and unseen, boundaries. I wanted to share the Back to School Essentials collection that doTERRA has brought back to equip our families with tools for the unseen boundaries.

Be sure to order this as a Loyalty order so you get the % and shipping points back due you!  Here's a great Back to School videoshared by Dr. Jessica Herzog: she's awesome at sharing the science of how to best protect our families. How to support gut, brain, and behavioral health naturally.
I challenge you to implement strategies for choice making at home. As we reflect on our own desires, we can dispel that which we are NOT welcoming in.
These heavy western states fires that have been distressing and displacing so many, and they are also bringing in more toxins. We can help purify our homes using oils and supplements. 
Did you know? 
Diffusing Purify blend can purge heavy metals from our indoor air quality. When I pair this with either Citrus Bliss blend or the Serenity blend, the whole family loves it... all the while it runs, this helps remove the impacts of wildfire smoke... on our indoor air quality and respiratory system.
So what will you say YES to today? ...Call in, invite, invoke?
I am not quite ready for the Fall season yet, with all the pumpkin spice stuffs... but this diffuser blend is giving a happy brightening to our morning! Especially how we have come to understand the connection between gut-brain health and the immune system.

Here is my diffuser blend to Welcome your Day! 
Lemon -2d (the oil of focus)
Peppermint -1d (the oil of buoyancy, cognitive support)
Vetiver -1d (helpful for concentration)
Petitgrain -1d (calming, like a "masculine" lavender)
Wild Orange -2d (uplifting and the oil of abundance)

May your day be bright and your heart remain open to fresh new ideas today!

Dear Friend,
From Venus, we are celebrating Friday. Viernes, the Spanish word for Friday, originates from Venus; this is her day. She reminds us, How about spending some of our hard earned funds and efforts on ourselves? On beauty? On self-care, so we are whole and full and can share from overflow with those we love? Venus is sensuous. She represents Love, appeal, beauty, passion, and ambition.

How many times do you give of yourself each day? Each week? 
Do you receive, when you give?

I want to reach out and appeal to beautiful energetic exchanges on this day. This almost new moon and almost Lion's gate opening day. Many energies are swirling, and by reflecting within, we celebrate and empower our highest self to share with the world. 🌏
Your desire to be the Venus in the seashell, to receive love from energies around you, to realize YOU can serve YOU, also. 

Our circle brings it back.
Beauty. Your adding to a community of Sensuous Love. Passionate reflections with the self, and ambitious dreams of supporting others with like mind-hearts. I will hold the image of sacred foot baths today. Of the ancient women bathing together. Of beautiful song and story shared. Of grounding and uplifting each other.

Think of Aphrodite. Goddess of Love. A true Venusian image.
Think of Innana. Ancient Goddess of beauty, political power and justice.
Think of Athena. Goddess of wisdom. Of mental clarity and prowess.

🌙This weekend's new moon circle was to be in support of the Sacred. Bringing it back into our everyday.  However, now our region has received such impact by wildfires, it is no longer possible to gather in our oasis.  If you are interested in a virtual offering instead, please reply YES to this note. I would love to facilitate this, if there is interest... please be sure to let me know.
 
Regardless, I invite you to bring the Sacred back to your life by blessing your body & soul with nourishment. For You, of You, through You.

Or make this blend for your diffuser, filling with water to the mark, then add:
Whisper (3d)
Clary Calm (1d)
Geranium (1d)
Frankincense (1d)
OR drip these oils into Epsom salts before adding to a swirling warm tub. 
✨
I Celebrate YOU, and the Sacred in each of us, Goddess.
✨
What else can help you feel cherished and supported right now? If I can help with ideas, drop me a note... as we know, it takes a Village!  
❤️
