From Licensed Social Worker to Aromatherapist why the journey... SPECIAL EDITION
Reader Dear Beloved, Today, as I reflect on my journey from Social Worker to Aromatherapist, I am reminded that not only resilience has got me here, but determination is keeping me going... You see, I began my love of essential oils during a period of my life when I was seeking more natural alternative sources. I still remember that fated day when I ran across a Facebook feed that said a Master Herbalist and Certified aromatherapist was having a weekend retreat two and a half hours away in a small town from where I live in Michigan. At the time, I was experiencing challenges with vertigo that conventional medicine only left me foggy-headed. I was so determined to get to that little college town, that I mapped out a plan on how was going to make it! Saying to myself, "I'll stop and do this if that or this happens". Long story short, I made it! Out of the 50 or so people there, I was the only person of color in the room, probably in the town. I only bring that up because that did not bother me. Why? Because I was there with a purpose. Something in my heart and soul said, "You need to be here". After learning about all the amazing potential for my health using essential oils, I was sold! I needed to study Aromatherapy! Fast-forward four years later, I was flying to participate in the first graduating class of Applied Aromatic Institute's on Cherokee Acres in a remote town in Kansas City. I was one of about 10 graduates and the first African American. As part of the required graduation process, I gave a 20-minute presentation about my final research project. It was titled: "Aromatherapy and Older Adults Diagnosed with Mental and Physical Challenges." Mind you, I had begun sharing my knowledge about essential oils while I was still studying. I was just that excited and afforded the opportunity to do so within the ministry I attend. So, I end this letter with this, my life's journey from Social Work to Aromatherapy was not only resilience to help myself. But I believe I was determined and destined to help others.

Hello Beloveds! As we step into Thanksgiving week, I wanted to share something truly special with you. 🦃✨ While serving at St. Charles Church, I found a handwritten message on a chalkboard—words originally discovered on the wall in Mother Teresa’s Home for Children in Calcutta. These “Do It Anyway” principles touched my heart deeply, and I felt led to pass them along to you. 💖 Here’s a glimpse of that beautiful inspiration: People may be unreasonable — forgive them anyway. 🙏 Your kindness may...
Hello Beautiful Souls! Here’s an update to what I mentioned in my last newsletter, where I shared:“This weekend I’ll be out in the community as a vendor for Aromabuds and Blossoms, my aromatherapy business. It feels like perfect alignment, like I’m stepping back into my lane with clarity and purpose. If you’re attending the event, come find me. I’d love to see you, share some scents, and reconnect.” Well… it happened — and it was beautiful. ✨ This week has been a powerful reminder of why...
Hello Beloveds, Happy Wellness Wednesday! This past week and a half have been one of those times where life taps you on the shoulder and says, “Remember why you’re here?” Someone close to me was navigating a challenging MS moment, and it brought me right back to the root of my journey. It reminded me why I ever started exploring natural wellness in the first place. My path really began years ago with Dr. Joel Wallach’s work and Youngevity, long before aromatherapy and herbalism found me. That...
