for which to be grateful and excited. Along with the anticipation of the holidays and family time, December gives us an opportunity to reflect on the year’s abundance and blessings.

Seeing members from around the world reminded me once again why we work so diligently throughout the year.

The Young Living Foundation provides support to Puerto Rico, Florida, and California after recent natural disasters.
