BACK TO SCHOOL, THE YL WAY
Four tips for tackling the new school year
A MESSAGE FROM MARY
Hello, My Friends,
July is a very busy month for those of us living in Utah. Our Young Living jousting troupe was invited to do a demonstration at the Days of ’47 Rodeo that took place at the Utah State Fair grounds. It was only a 16-minute show; but even in the 100°F hot sun, it went very well and was fun for all those who were there to watch. Then our jousters went walking through the crowds in their heavy armor to answer questions and invite people to our Draft Horse Show in September. However, most amazing to me was the tribute paid to Gary during the rodeo. Last year, Gary was invited to sit in the announcers’ box and talk about our horses, while Jason Goodman drove our six-up Percheron hitch as a new attraction for the rodeo, which was magnificent. Gary was the Idaho State champion in Saddle Bronc riding when he was in high school and had a great love for the cowboy skills demonstrated at rodeos. Gary really connected with the directors of the rodeo, and they were greatly saddened by Gary’s passing. They gave a very beautiful tribute while Jacob led Gary’s horse into the arena. Then when Jacob moved out, Felix Santana rode in on one of our dancing Friesian horses to show the amazing ability of this breed of horses. He finished with the horse walking on his hind legs, which caused a roaring applause from the crowd. They talked about Gary’s great love of horses and how he started the exciting modern-day essential oils movement. They love who we are and talked about Gary and Young Living throughout the entire rodeo. Everywhere we looked, we saw the words Young Living. The rodeo took place for five nights; and the last night when the prize money was given out, one of the riders who took first place in his event was asked how he felt, and he said, “I wouldn’t have made it if it hadn’t been for the Young Living products that helped me so much.” We were all surprised and amazed. I was asked to present the awards for one of the events with Utah’s Governor Herbert. He and Gary met a few years ago, and Gary drove the stagecoach with the governor sitting next to him during one of our big holiday parades. The governor expressed his sadness as well but gave me a big hug with his support. It was wonderful to visit with him. We had two big tents that were packed with people enjoying our NingXia products; and with such hot temperatures, we couldn’t fill the cups fast enough. The rodeo riders loved using Cool Azul and drank a lot of NingXia Red. The inquiries and new experiences people were having were very rewarding for all of us who spent long hours to make this event very successful for the rodeo and Young Living.
It’s time to cook the last s’more of the season and trade in popsicles for pencils, because backto-school time is here! Whether your children are headed to a community school or are gearing up to learn at home, we’ve got tips to help you and your little ones say goodbye to summer and hello to a bright, new school year. 1. Deep clean. We love spring cleaning, but your house gets a lot of use during the summer months. September is the perfect time to give your home a deep clean in preparation for the busy months ahead. Your children can help with the chores, or you can clean high-traffic spots while they’re at school. Thieves ® Household Cleaner will help you get your house sparkling clean and smelling great! Tip: Refresh musty carpets by adding 5 drops of Thieves essential oil blend to a cup of baking soda. Combine well and let the mixture sit overnight until the oil is absorbed; then sprinkle over carpets and vacuum thoroughly. 2. Create a study space. School can be stressful, so create an inspiring oasis where your little scholars can study in peace. Keep supplies like pencils and scrap paper organized and within easy reach. Consider hanging up pictures or quotes your children find inspiring. Letting them help personalize their study space can help them get excited for school! Tip: Diffuse an essential oil that helps create an environment ready for learning. We love GeneYus™, which was created to give young minds an aroma that inspires feelings of focus. 3. Practice your morning routine. Mornings are easier when you know what to expect. Practice your morning routine before the school year starts. From waking up to getting to the bus stop or settling in
at a desk at home, knowing how long your child needs to prepare for the day will help mornings run more smoothly. Tip: Make time for a healthful breakfast. Gary’s True Grit ® einkorn products, made from whole ancient grains, are a delicious and wholesome way to start the day together. 4. Take time for yourself. You’ve spent all summer keeping your little ones safe, happy, and engaged. Now it’s time to be as kind to yourself as you are to your children! Drop some Stress Away™ or another oil with a relaxing scent like Lavender into your diffuser, add your favorite Vitality ™ essential oil to a refreshing glass of water, and unwind. Tip: Pamper yourself with ART ® Creme Masque or ART® Beauty Masque as you relax. These luxurious masques will add to the spa-like experience and will give your skin a youthful appearance. We hope the new school year is full of learning and growth for you and your little ones. Enjoy the journey!

As vice president of this talented team, Sarah believes one of her most important roles is to be a visionary. “Someone once told me that in order to be a great leader, you need to be able to paint the picture and help others see themselves in it,” she says. “If people can see themselves where you see them, the actions are easy.
