"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Gratitude Day 13

One week old today! She's still an angel baby. She has a calming and comforting ability already in her. I think we'll keep her. I love love love holding her while she's sleeping. I just want to cuddle her.



November 13: I'm thankful for essential oils and the aid they were in my labor and delivery. But even more so the aid since then with my recovery. I feel more stable emotionally than I did with my other kids. I also truly think oils have helped Lexie adjust to life here in a very positive way and have helped a lot with gassy, fussy, sleeping, calming- all of it. I love serenity, balance, solace, and whisper for me. Those have been the ones I've probably used the most. I've been using digestion, peppermint, lime, and lavender on Lexie. Within minutes after Lexie was born, Corey put frankincense and myrrh on her feet and swiped geranium across her forehead. We also put myrrh on her belly button/umbilical cord.
