GET READY TO SHOP OUR BLACK FRIDAY PROMOTION! A MESSAGE FROM MARY
Plan now to get exclusive bundles on November 29
Hello, Everyone, Several years ago Gary was invited to South Africa to speak at a farming seminar. He became very excited and wanted to build a farm there. I guess I popped his bubble when I pointed out how far away it was and how difficult it would be for our family. He had to acknowledge that, but he never quit talking about it. He loved the South African people and knew that they would be very receptive to Young Living. As we watched Europe grow under the leadership of Peter Foss, Gary said it was time to open South Africa; and so off went Peter, with Gary’s direction. What’s happening in South Africa is exactly what Gary knew would happen. South Africans pride themselves on living the spirit of Nguni ubuntu, which is a Bantu term meaning "humanity." It is often translated as "I am because we are," or "humanity toward others," which they practice in every aspect of their lives, particularly in business culture. Those fortunate enough to own businesses in the country conduct their affairs with not only a high level of professionalism but also with kindness and generosity, which bring the world that special essence that ubuntu affords. We cut the ribbon on October 27, with over 1,000 members in attendance, and added 10 other African markets. The office and Experience Center in Johannesburg are finished, and a team of 12 employees is fully engaged. We have two training rooms, one seating 80 people and the other 220 people, which are continually in use. We have major PR campaigns going and even had an hour on a radio talk show. As Peter says, “The people of South Africa have so much heart. They are happy and family oriented and have a strong connection to the earth and nature. They want to have their own businesses, and with the Young Living opportunity, they are growing quickly. It’s a wonderful country and the food is delicious.” We have many members from around the world building in South Africa; and with our new partner, the Amanzi Amahle Farm and Distillery in Cape Town, members will be able to experience our Seed to Seal® commitment firsthand. This 29,000-acre farm produces the oils of Eucalyptus Radiata, Tea Tree, Grapefruit, Orange, and Lemon, which are all very important to us, especially for supporting the immune system and flavoring different recipes. Have fun experimenting with how to use them. South Africa is going to be a great adventure for all of us in Young Living as we watch the excitement spread across this magnificent continent. Thank you for your love and support,

MARY LIGHTHOUSE OPENS
A historical moment for The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation and Hope for Justice partnership
“I can’t put into words what you are doing. I can only applaud you.” —Mary Young Since 2016 The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation has been working alongside Hope for Justice to empower lives affected by human trafficking. The past three years have seen monumental success—including over $1 million raised at the 2018 International Grand Convention to expand the Shine Career School in Cambodia and bring the fight against modern slavery to Africa. Two months ago Mary Young, CEO and co-founder of Young Living, attended a Young Living Foundation service trip to Uganda for the first time to see how your donations are accelerating efforts in the field and empowering lives. To commemorate Mary’s visit and to celebrate the generosity of Young Living members who have donated to the cause, the Hope
PAG E 1
for Justice team had a very special surprise waiting for our leading lady. On September 10 Mary joined Hope for Justice Founder Ben Cooley in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newest Lighthouse center in Uganda: the Mary Lighthouse. Located in Kampala, this is the fourth Lighthouse center we are funding in Uganda and the second in the country built specifically to help girls who have been rescued from exploitation. The Mary Lighthouse will employ 11 full-time staff and care for up to 30 girls at a given time as they begin the process of rebuilding their lives and learning to dream again after suffering at the hands of human trafficking. This center will primarily focus on helping girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking. While discussing the ways that this new center will support girls who deserve opportunities to overcome their past traumas, Mary told Hope for Justice staff, “I can’t put into words what you are doing. I can only applaud you.” This holiday season learn more about how 100 percent of donations to the Young Living Foundation empower lives through our partnerships such as Hope for Justice and get involved by joining the Freedom Builder movement. A monthly contribution of as little as $1 is enough to inspire lasting change. Visit YoungLivingFoundation.org/freedom for more information today.

ESSENTIALLY YOURS
Your fellow members’ favorite oils and ways to share them
MONTHLY LEADERSHIP CORNER
Casey Wiegand, YL Royal Crown Diamond, shares tips for success
Young Living’s resounding impact on Casey Wiegand’s life began five years ago when a friend offered her the comfort of Joy™ and Valor® during a difficult time in her life. Since then Casey has never stopped using essential oils to help herself and those around her with whatever needs they may have, be they relaxation, overall wellness, or emotional support. In fact, her passion for the products quickly propelled her to lead a successful Young Living business, growing a large team of individuals who, like her, were searching for the hand of hope that Young Living products provide. To members getting started with Young Living, she advises: “Just share your heart
and your story. No one else has your story. When you authentically share in a way that meets needs, people in your circle of influence will take the trust that has been built with you and join you.” To those members who’ve been with YL a little longer, she advises: “Be very intentional with relationships with friends, prospects, new members, and team members. Show up every single day. When I’m intentional with my home, family, and business, every part will thrive.” “I had no idea why adding these products to my life would make any difference,” says Casey. “Now I’m passionate about sharing, so others have the opportunity to say yes too. I’m here because their story matters to me.” Take a moment this month to find a product you are passionate about and share it with someone close to you. Think about that product’s benefits and your friend’s needs and see if you can be the friend who changes someone else’s life like Casey’s friend changed hers.
When asked what oils and blends you prefer to share with loved ones, you all responded with some wonderful suggestions. Check out some uplifting usage tips from your fellow members: “When Frankincense is combined with Lavender—wow! This aroma can create a delightful mood when diffused in the main living space in your home or for winding down when it's time to sleep.” —Pam W. “Valor’s scent makes me feel brave, confident, and calm, like everything is going to be okay. I carry a roller filled with Valor® at all times. It brings me comfort and good vibes and reminds me to pause and reflect.” —Margeaux F. “My favorite oils to share with my family and friends are definitely Lavender and Stress Away™! I put Stress Away on all my friends while we're at work, and they’re always amazed at how it feels.” —Michele B. “My favorite blend to share is Brain Power™. I'm a mom of three children all under the age of five, and its fresh, crisp smell is just incredible to keep me concentrated and awake. I usually give away some roller bottles to my friends to try it out!” —Christian H.

Feel inspired by Frankincense
YOUNG LIVING EUROPE
Region Update
There’s a reason Frankincense has been treasured for centuries in religious ceremonies around the world. Because of its uniquely clarifying scent, it’s a good oil to diffuse during meditation for increased spiritual awareness, grounding, and purpose. Frankincense supports you as you reach for new spiritual, emotional, and creative heights. When you’re looking for ways to see around challenges and up the hills of life, draw strength from these creative Frankincense uses: • Rub a few drops into your hands, cup lightly over your nose, and breathe deeply to enjoy the grounding aroma. This is especially helpful before writing and self-reflection activities to open your mind to new ideas. • Freshen your car by diffusing 3 drops each of Melrose™ and Frankincense in a car diffuser. The combination of crisp
and warm aromas will have you singing for joy at how fresh your car smells. • Mix a few drops of The Gift™, which includes Sacred Frankincense™, in 1 cup of Epsom salt. Add it to bathwater and soak in the soothing aroma as you feel tension and worries melt away. • Add Frankincense to face lotion and apply morning and night to moisturize skin and reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone. • Diffuse Frankincense during your Thanksgiving feast to deepen feelings of gratitude and peace. • Put a drop on the pages of your sacred texts to heighten your sense of spirituality and connection. Have you explored the many ways ancient Frankincense oil can help you transcend your modern troubles? Check out The Lavender Life blog at bit.ly/2vwT6cC for more ideas and information!
