This weekend as I was sitting at a wellness summit with my Sister-in-law, I had another…”I am exactly where I am supposed to be moment.” Though I have not completely bought into essentials oils and their many uses, I am all about creating a healthier environment in our home and in our bodies. As we sat down after lunch a speaker by the name of Shauna Wetenkamp was introduced. As she began to tell her story, my gut started to clinch…I held on for what she was going to share with the audience…she stated that a tragic event happened…I was hardly breathing as she began to share her story, I just knew she was going to say she lost one of her kids…well I was wrong…she was ran over by a truck! Ran over! Literally ran over! While her road to recovery was a fascinating story I couldn’t help but to turn and look at my sister-in-law when Shauna stated that she had a scar on her finger in the shape of a heart! Okay Jackie…I’m listening.
Shauna lives by the way of positive thought, oils, meditation, and prayer. She is grateful for her experience. She literally had to be knocked down to get back up.
A few things she said I will be including in our lives:
Take time for you to set the tone for yourself
Celebrate your wins
You woke up today!
Fear stops us
Shauna overcame what doctors told her was impossible. She is living proof…she made it. She survived and not only that she used her experience to fuel and mold her into someone even better than what she was before.
I want that! I want to empower others, I want to not only survive the loss of my babies but to become someone better than who I was before these tragic events sent me on this journey. A journey that I could’ve never imagined for my life. I have been knocked down and I want to get back up…but I want to get back up with a grater purpose, with grace and courage, I want to empower, I want to help and to motivate…I want to live to the fullest! And by golly…yes…I GOT UP TODAY and man that is something to celebrate!
PS- I won this oil at the summit! And oh how fitting it is.
We love you!
