Hello friends,

I have been pondering this in my mind for a while now and being that the new year just kicked off, I thought…. “JUST DO IT.” I have never considered myself a writer but have always tossed around the idea of writing a book, possibly for children or a novel of some sort. I mean, who would want to listen to what I had to say? I teach first grade and have a captive audience already and they love me! They have to listen to what I say. They are supposed to listen to what I have to say (…well I hope they listen to me).

About seven years ago, I got on this kick where I wanted to live a more healthy and natural lifestyle. This included eating cleaner and exercising more consistently. I of course, in the process, changed my family’s lifestyle and their eating habits too.

It all started out by going to a “getting started class” on how to grind your own wheat and make your own breads. I started making my own whole wheat bread, muffins, pancakes, etc. We haven’t bought a loaf of bread from the store since then. I even started making my own peanut butter! My husband actually lost about 40 pounds by simply making better choices and eating differently.

Last year, I was invited to an oil class (get your mind out of the gutter haha) and was excited to learn how essential oils could help with this transition to a healthier lifestyle. I was skeptical, but I thought why not? I was very intrigued by the oils and found the information on par with what I wanted for my life. I actually got started that night as a wellness advocate for dōTERRA, which I will post about later (or for a quick tid bit check out “About dōTERRA” on my menu bar).

My passions have changed as I have grown into the person I am today. I am very excited to share with you my journey on living a healthier lifestyle. This blog will be filled with DIY tips, recipes, information about essential oils, my travels, and updates on my life. I have a lot planned for the future! I hope to inspire you and show you how you too can make these types of simple changes in your lifestyle. Happy New Year!

Naturally, Lisa

    Sounds awesome Lisa. I need to start eating better, I am starting to think pizza everyday for lunch might not be that good for me. Being 57 with a 6 month old toddler, I need to be around for a long time to help him with life. Looking forward to your insight and recipes!
