Founder’s Message THIS SEASON OF celebration really is the most wonderful time of the year. The parties and festivities with family and friends, the acts of service to loved ones and strangers alike, and our refocusing on peace and goodwill paint the perfect masterpiece to this season dedicated to the Prince of Peace. For Young Living, we have so very much to celebrate during the Christmas season. This year has been remarkably inspiring for our company. We have shattered sales records, expanded our global reach, and touched every life that has committed to living Young Living. You have played a vital role in this wondrous success! You are a gift not to just Young Living but to everyone who knows you. Among the many reasons that I love Young Living, one of the most powerful is that we are about more than just essential oils and healthful products. We are about helping people reach their highest potential. We do this by caring for others and sharing with them the precious gifts we have to offer—everything from Lavender essential oil to financial freedom. Young Living is indeed the perfect, transformational gift; the gift that keeps on giving; the gift that can be the answer for the hopes and desires we wish to realise. Don’t withhold this perfect gift from anyone, especially during this season. Share it with everyone you already know and those you will yet meet. As you celebrate this season, cherish the moments and memories you have been given. A grateful person is a happy person, and we have many, many reasons to be grateful and happy this December.

We’re Breaking Sales Records...Again!
CONTINUING TO BUILD on a monumentally successful year, Young Living experienced recordbreaking sales growth in the third quarter of 2013. This milestone is the latest in a series of record-breaking months that began in October of 2012, with August, September, and October of this year each setting new global sales records. This accomplishment is of particular importance when noting that Young Living has set the standard in quality, purity, and effectiveness in the essential oils industry for nearly two decades.
Young Living’s growth is accelerating across the world, with thriving new markets that opened in Canada and Germany in early 2013 and with an official market launch that took place in Hong Kong on October 26. The company is also an industry leader in social media engagement, recently surpassing 100,000 fans on its global Facebook page. “I cannot say enough about the hard work and commitment of our truly global family of Independent Distributors,” said Chief Operating Officer Travis Ogden about Young Living’s record-shattering sales. “Our considerable and consistent growth around the world speaks volumes about their dedication to sharing Young Living’s life-changing products and message. Our expansion and momentum, which continue to increase, would not be possible without them.”
Young Living Opens In Hong Kong DISTRIBUTORS FROM AROUND the world gathered in Hong Kong in late October to celebrate the market’s grand opening with Young Living Founder and CEO D. Gary Young, top company executives, and leading distributors. Attendees participated in expert-led presentations and workshops designed to help them improve their personal and professional lives. The event, which formally opened the Hong Kong market and prepared the way for continued company growth, is evidence of Young Living’s overall growth in Asia.
The Master Leader Retreat took place in November! Be sure to read about the exciting events in the next Essential Edge.

Mixed with education and workshops from industry gurus, the event was an experience that left distributors expressing gratitude for Young Living, its leaders, and its wonderful products.

WPC: Christmas In Bethlehem 2015
New travel dates align with Gary’s original vision
AFTER CAREFUL DELIBERATION, D. Gary Young, Jay Anderton, the Board of Advisors, and team members of the World Peace Caravan have changed the departure date to December 15, 2015. The caravan will now travel 12 days from Petra, Jordan, to Jerusalem, Israel, with a stop on the Dead Sea to attend the twoday World Health and Peace Conference on December 21 and 22. Jay Anderton, Director of the World Peace Caravan, commented, “The unrest in Syria had many people closely involved with the mission uncomfortable with the March 2014 travel date. There was an undeniable energy in the group that the dates and the year were just not right. The Board of Advisers and team members have embraced the new dates because they align with Gary Young’s original vision of the caravan arriving in Bethlehem on December 25.” With extra time to plan, we hope you will come join us on this spectacular world peace mission!
