A NEW YOU: SLIQUE IN 60 CHALLENGE Starting the year with a healthier, happier you!
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE Hello, my friends. This is a special time, as we
anticipate the excitement of what is to come in the new year. Young Living is growing so fast that I find myself engulfed in thoughts of the need for more farms to grow the plants to produce the oils that you are needing. It is rewarding to know that so many people are catching the vision, not only in the discovery of their own wellness and success but also in bringing our message to so many people who are looking for answers and waiting to cross the path of someone who can enlighten them with something new that will help them with their needs. The technical world has become very sophisticated in the enhancement of oils with synthetic compounds that increase the volume and sweeten the natural aroma, enabling them to be sold for a much lower price. For those of us who understand this, we must educate others about the purity of oils and why that is so important. We are in the process of closing on several thousand acres of land, where we will grow crops to produce oils that are in higher demand and increase our einkorn acreage. We have already moved onto the land and are preparing it for seeding and are going to build our own flour mill, where only einkorn will be de-husked and milled. We will not import
