A New Spin on Finding My Purpose

There is a purpose for each of us, the struggle to find that purpose often takes a while, sometimes years. I have always known that I wanted to help empower women and bring confidence to their lives. I have been teaching skincare and color cosmetics for over four years. I have seen the change in self esteem that comes when a woman takes a time out to pamper herself. I myself have found how much just a few minutes of playing with makeup increases my confidence and my feelings about myself. I would look in the mirror and see someone who appeared "put together" but inside I was a mess. I was always in conflict and could never achieve balance. There was something missing.
God works in mysterious ways and I believe He places experiences in the path of life exactly when we need them. The Lord's time table is not always our own, but I feel overcome with passion for the direction my life has taken.
I was introduces to essential oils from a friend of a friend. I first just wanted one oil in particular (one to help calm my children because we were all severely sleep deprived) and from that order of a kit of the most common oils, I started to be awoken. I felt better physically and EMOTIONALLY. It kind of threw me for a loop. I had been out of balance for so long that it was kind of a shock to my system. I FELL in LOVE with these oils and I was overcome with the feeling that I need to be SHARING these oils with others. This of course put me in the conflict of what to do next... Should I share oils and walk away from my skincare business that I have been building for the last few years? Or should I keep going with the track I was currently on? Then it dawned on me.... why not do both? Well, here goes! :D

Happy New Years! I wish you joy as you follow your path to find your purpose!
