Have you ever wondered why life has to be so hard sometimes? I have determined life has its challenges so we can learn lessons. For now, the purpose of my blog will be to share the challenges I have faced or challenges I am currently facing that are teaching me valuable lessons.
My current journey started when, like many others, I lost my job. Not being able to find an adequate paying job forced me to enroll in a university to further my education and help me be more competitive in the job market. Having a passion for alternative health turned my attention to a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness degree.
I have always had a mild interest in herbs and natural remedies. I remember while living in Wyoming as a middle schooler (40+ years ago) trying to make a hair rinse from sage brush. As an adult, improving the health of my children sparked a more serious drive to know more. My son was suffering from bronchitis that was not going away with antibiotics. I turned to herbs which helped but did not cure. I finally sought out an alternative health doctor who introduced me to aromatherapy. In one week, compared to the weeks of suffering on conventional antibiotic treatments, my son was well. Ever since then, we turn to the aromatherapy treatments whenever cold symptoms start and have never experienced bronchitis again, 17 years later. This health challenge has turned to a learning of many other aromatherapy treatments for respiratory ailments.
Our Creating Wellness class blog will be a fun way to share wellness experiences and challenges. Right now I'm going through a challenge with our dog. I plan to share the lessons learned with this challenge in future blogs.
This should be fun!
