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.
