This passion and wonder for the seen, and unseen is still with me today.<br />

I have loved and shared aromatherapy with as many people as I can,<br />

and have never lost my reverence for nature and the power of it to heal,<br />

uplift, and shift energy.<br />

As I tell people what I do, I often hear stories of how they wished they<br />

had paid more attention to a grandmother or parent who, well before<br />

allopathic medication, looked to centuries-old practices from the earth<br />

to heal themselves. A flower that, in tea, will help you sleep; a plant<br />

that, when applied to the skin will reduce swelling; or a fruit that will<br />

elevate mood.<br />

It’s universal and in our DNA; we are carbon molecules and resonate<br />

with the frequency in our surroundings. Children are intrigued, class<br />

after class with youth I watch as their eyes grow wide when I start with<br />

the moon is lit with the sun. It is a magic moment, moving into rose<br />

petals in a drop of oil is a smooth segue. They leave with knowledge of<br />

sustainability, the beauty of the earth as theirs and wonder.<br />

So yes indeed I am getting this face painted today.<br />
