Natural Solutions with Oils

I'm missing you! We've moved to a new page just for women on a journey of self-discovery to find themselves, better health and wellness, and new friends!

Find us at Raw + Naked Living and LIKE OUR PAGE!!

I like time to think.

I like to write.

I like to help women find their true north and help them cultivate courage, confidence, clarity and purpose.

I've done stupid stuff and wasted too much time in life! Cancer has made me more aware of my mortality and that was a huge kick in the butt to get out there and own my purpose.

Do you know your true purpose? Are you courageous enough to live it out?

Would it take a tragedy to wake it?

This latest blog is my signature piece! Here's the link https://www.rawandnakedliving.com/help-im-lost-and-cant-find-myself/

It's for you if you're lost and looking for yourself..apart from being a mom, employee, wife, girlfriend, friend, sister...

Oh, and I introduce you to Fred😁

You have the power to determine your journey. Own it sister!

The beach speaks to me: Rest. Relax. Rejuvenate. Restore.

What does it say to you?

Good news and bad news!

Good news - Today we embark on a new journey as we transition from the old page of Natural Solutions with Oils to a new page of Raw and Naked Living.

What began here as a health and wellness community focused primarily on plant oils evolved to become a holistic community serving primarily women with a more comprehensive approach to health, wellness and happiness.

As of now, we intend to help women on a journey of self-discovery to give them tools, support and community to become more courageous, confident, clear about their purpose and authentic.

Bad News - Facebook won't allow for the name change here because they think that's not what you signed up for when you liked this page. I wouldn't want to be accused of tricking you into something you don't want.

So...

As of August 31st, this page will no longer be active because...

We're moving to Raw + Naked Living. https://www.facebook.com/rawandnakedliving/

What will you expect to find?

The same inspirational, motivational, personal material you've been getting, but more offers, more practical help, more wisdom and hopefully, more interaction with you.

IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE AND WANT MORE, LIKE OUR NEW PAGE, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF, CHECK OUT THE NEW WEBSITE, BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR TRIBE AND MEET NEW FRIENDS.

And...

Join our closed group the RAW Woman Collective for more connection, more conversation, more discussion of what you need to deal with life challenges and grow into the best version of you.

Today is my birthday, so I'm headed to the beach. I hope you'e celebrating something special today too.

I look forward to seeing you in the new neighborhood!

What did you want to be when you grew up? How did that pan out?🤔

This is me in 8th grade. I was such a nerd. My fav class was art. I loved to draw and paint.🖌

I especially loved cartooning. When I grew up I was sure I'd be a cartoonist.

I should pick up a sketch pad again and start drawing.

How about you? Do spill...🤗

I love a secret garden. 🌺🌿🌼🌹🌿🏵🐞🌿🦋🌿 Arches adorned with climbing flowers. Winding pathways. Stone walls. Green hedges. Picket fencing. Wrought iron gates. Overflowing with lush beauty, vibrant colors and heavenly scents.

The secret garden beckons for me to explore. It teases me with glimpses of what's beyond. It doesn't give me everything at once, for this is not a place of immediate gratification.

This is a place to linger once you're allowed in. Its food for the senses as well as the soul. A sanctuary from the craziness of the outside world. A balm for the body and mind.

I think our hearts are like secret gardens...waiting to be explored... yearning for someone who notices the beauty beyond and desires to see more.

Whose secret garden could you explore today?🐞🌿🌹🏵🐞

Such truth. You don't appreciate good things until you are without them.

Don't take good things for granted.

You may not get them back.❤

I just finished working with a client who, well into her 50's, was still living out some lies she has believed since childhood!

I'm not brave enough. Strong enough. I'm selfish if I focus on me. I cant forgive myself.

What a burden to live so much of your life with these lies!

How much joy do you miss out on? How much of your sparkle does the world lose when you aren't there to share it?

Are you a woman living a lie?

Join us for our next workshop on Self Care for Women where we will peel away some layers of shame, guilt, and fear and set you on a path to freedom.

No lies and no masks allowed.😚

Who doesn't love strawberries? 🍓🍓🍓

Unfortunately, the watchdog group EWG found them to be one of the "dirtiest" fruits on the market with high levels of toxic residual pesticides. You cant wash that off🥺 And since my cancer diagnosis I want minimal toxic burden.

This is a fruit you wanna buy organic. I found these 1 lb tubs for only $2.99 at Aldis. Is that a good deal?

I think so. Aldis for the win!!👍

Sometimes, your questions aren't ready to be answered. Just surrender them and accept someday, unawares, you'll get your answer. 🙏

Morning Meditation

Have patience with everything
unresolved in your heart,
and try to love the questions
themselves
as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a very foreign language.

Do not search for the answers, which
could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live
them.
And the point is to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the
future,
you will gradually,
without even noticing it, live your way
into the answer.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Start your week with a random act of kindness today. It's a natural anti-depressant and a happiness booster.🌞 Whats your fav way to share a random act of kindness?

Do you yearn to travel? Have you said yes?

Our fam made lifetime memories when we visited Europe in 2017 so we decided to do it again next June!

Were flying to Amsterdam!🇳🇱

We're far from rich. But we learned how to travel on a budget.

We found tix for nonstop flight on nextvacay.com for $300 out of JFK in NYC, great deal (check it out).✈ We'll lodge mostly thru AirBnB.

And we'll rent a car instead of take the train.

We plan to spend 2 days in Holland, then drive thru France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.🚙 Amsterdam is known for its canals, museums, and bicycle friendly atmosphere. 🚲Just beyond is Old Holland where you find the windmills and cheese and wooden shoes!

If you were in Holland for only 2 days where would you spend your time?🤔 Museums? Sightsee on bicycles? Shopping? Going to Old Holland? Cruising the canals?

As a coach who helps women embark on a deeper journey of self-discovery, I've been studying the science of well-being - what it means to be happy. Not the quasi-fake happy smile 24/7, but contentment and well-being. I specifically studied the role of money in our happiness.

The science is clear. Financial well-being DOES lead to better happiness. Two big take-a-ways on the role of $$ and happiness:
1. An income of $75K/year was seen as the threshold for happiness. More did not mean more happiness. But this amount allows for more security and stability. This figure doesn't just apply to US citizens.
2. People are generally happier when they spend money on experiences rather than things.

How do you feel about these stats?

What's holding you back from reaching a goal?

It's so easy to give up when you think you failed.

And sometimes working harder isn't the answer.

You know that story of the fly on the window?

It's trying to get out so it keeps flying against the window, over and over, unsuccessfully, unawares that the window next to it is wide open.

Don't be a fly.🦟

If you feel the itch to give up after you "failed", ask yourself some questions:

✅What is my definition of success?✅How bad do I want this?
✅What would it feel like if I succeeded?
✅How can I be more creative to accomplish this goal?
✅Am I afraid of success? Why?
✅Am I truly stuck?
✅ Could I use the help of a coach?

Failure is often in the eye of the beholder. There is always, always a lesson to be learned.

I help women self-discover so they can navigate life challenges with courage, confidence, clarity and authentic purpose.

As a holistic life coach I offer courage tools, strategies and community to get you unstuck, to burst forth in life to get beyond obstacles and "failures" and show up as the best version of you.

Life is short.⏳

Dont waste it repeating "failures." Learn from them. And reach out. I'll be your anchor in the stormy seas of life.⚓

Oh dear immune system, I m so grateful for your protection and I honor you in the way I lead my life.

How much do I love thee, let me count the ways..

1.When I choose carefully what I put on my skin, I love and honor thee

2. When I am intentional about ingesting healthy foods, I love and honor thee.

3. As I breathe in clean air and avoid ci******es and toxic air, I love and honor thee.

4. When I move my body to circulate the oxygen and blood that can stagnate as I sit too long (as well as when I get enough rest) I love and honor thee.

5. And when I cultivate joyful positive thoughts and screen negativity from my life, I love and honor thee.

Each day we can choose to love or poison our immune system. Be mindful.

Are you stronger and more resilient because of some hardship in your life?

What was it and how did it change you?

Ok, start from the beginning. I'm listening.

Love a good Bloody Mary?

🥕🍅🌶🥒🥬Skip the alchohol, love your body, and experiment with some new veggie blends in a DIY juice.

ALL you need is: a juicer (I use a Breville brand), fresh ORGANIC produce, and voila!

You can add fruit, but be mindful of the high sugar count. Stick with low sugar citrus green apple for the lowest sugar counts. 🍋🍏

Add ginger or hot pepper for zest.🌶

A 16 oz drink a day will blast your cells with massive doses of nutrients and antioxidants.☄Anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory elixir.

Love your body. Live with purpose.💗

Nature Therapy. 🌳

That zen you find when you let nature wrap you up in its loving arms to just"be". 🧘‍♀️

That low cost natural solution for anxiety, depression, mental health, stress, worry, weight control, arthritis, brain fog.🥰

That gathering place for picnics, BBQs, swimming, fishing, hiking, camping, sports, concerts, reunions.

Raise your kids up in nature. They will always come back to it for zen when they're looking for balance.

This is my family enjoying zen just outside the city of Philadelphia where our youngest lives.

It's where he finds zen. 👍

🙏Thank you God for the bounty and abundance of the natural world, our forests and streams, majestic mountains and vast seas, breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, creatures too many to count.

May we treasure nature enough to protect it as much as it protects us.🌏
