My immediate thought was… we’re never going to be able to get this all washed off!
On a September day nineteen years ago my husband I noticed how quiet the house had become and we realized we had lost track of where our 3 year old son had gone. So what does a parent do in a situation like this?
They begin searching the house to see where the missing child is and what they might be up to.
As we rounded the corner and headed down the hallway, we found our young son holding a large jar of Vaseline and a full sized paintbrush in the other hand… doing a thorough job of painting the walls…
And might I mention… very proud of his work! He couldn’t wait to show us all the places he had painted. Ugh!!!
Everywhere we looked we saw Vaseline glistening on the walls. This was going to take forever to clean off.
Matter of fact, for weeks we continued finding previously undiscovered shiny streaks on the walls throughout our house.
From this experience we learned that if things became unusually silent in the house, there must be a good reason for it. And in this case… one that we should have checked out sooner than later. We definitely would have found the clean up much easier if we had gone searching earlier.
Well, I’ve been rather silent when it comes to communicating to y’all on my email list.
The good news is I’ve not been applying Vaseline to our walls, but I have been working quietly… however, it’s been on some ‘constructive’ things.
Things that will hopefully greatly benefit you.
You see, I’ve had a long history of health issues that have had quite the impact on my life. Things that have had a direct effect on my daily functioning, making it especially difficult to carry out my role as a mother to our 6 boys.
But I was able to overcome my struggles so I could fully engage with my family.
And one of the most impactful things that’s helped me and continues to help me for getting my symptoms under control so I can engage in life is using essential oils.
And I realize that it’s because of the subject of essential oils that you joined my email list to begin with.
The thing is…
There’ve been many things that have helped me to get through my health struggles over the years. And I wouldn’t be serving you well if I didn’t share all of those other things with you as well.
So rather than limiting my conversation with you to just essential oils, I wanted to broaden the subject to wellness in general in order to help you to live your healthiest life possible.
So from now on, emails I send to you will be coming with my name as the sender: Laura Bostrom, rather than Family Essential Oils.
If for any reason you no longer desire to receive emails from me, I completely understand. All you have to do is simply click ‘unsubscribe’ and your name will be removed from my email list.
And as always…
