Founder’s Message EACH NEW YEAR brings a great sense of excitement and possibilities. Our minds are fixed on the things we can do, and our souls are filled with determination to accomplish what was once thought impossible. I love this attitude! Looking up and looking forward is really a tremendous way to live. When you walk, are you staring down at the ground, afraid to make eye contact with a passerby? During quiet times, do you beat yourself up over past mistakes? If you do, please stop NOW. Look up and look forward! How high can you climb when you’re looking down? Who can you help when you’re looking back? You are far more influential and can do so much more good when you look up and look forward. This is the season held aside for ambitious goal setting. Dream big! Don’t let yourself or others tell you that something is impossible or that you can’t change. Don’t believe them. They are not speaking truth to you. These are people who want to drag you down into their box of negative influence. Don’t let them. Break out of that box and propel yourself into the life you want to live—a life without limits. The pathway to reaching goals can be painfully difficult at times; don’t let this stop you from setting and then pursuing very big goals. Instead, surround yourself with positive, happy people who believe in you and who will inspire you to keep going when times get tough. Remember, greatness requires sacrifice and determination. Make 2014 your year to realise your success and to see your dreams come true. Make it great by looking up and looking forward.
Good Times Changin’ Lives EXOTIC ADVENTURES, CELEBRATIONS of a festive and colourful culture, experiencing the Seed to Seal® process, and forever changing lives: that’s what you get when you participate in the Young Living Master Leader Retreat.
In late November, Young Living leaders and high-achieving members from around the world lived an unforgettable week in Ecuador. This year’s retreat featured a personal tour of the local Young Living farm with Young Living Founder and CEO D. Gary Young. Attendees were treated to a step-by-step look into how many of our precious botanicals—such as Eucalyptus Blue, Lemongrass, and Palo Santo—are grown and then distilled into Young Living’s pure, powerful essential oils. “Attending the Master Leader Retreat was so enlightening, encouraging, and inspiring,” said Platinum Karen Douglas. “Being able to participate in the action at the farm by packing down the Eucalyptus Blue in one distiller and then placing Oregano into another distiller was so great!” Capping off their Ecuadorian adventure, members spent a truly memorable day at the Young Living Academy. On their exclusive tour, members met with the students in their classrooms, were treated to special student presentations, and discussed with Gary the future of the school Kendra Murrell and Karen Douglas and its students. On this participate in activities at the farm.

remarkable day, the group raised a monumental $36,000 in donations—funds that are critically needed to begin construction of a high school. Karen added, “Young Living is so much more than just oils. Being able to visit the academy and share such seemingly small gifts—pencils, pens, and just warm smiles—the children received these gifts Rob Ridpath and Alina Piccone with such joy. What a pleasure it was to be part of something so much bigger than myself. These children are so inspiring!” “The entire week was such a blast—the farm, the ATVs and Jet Skis, the trip to the beach were all great,” expressed Gold Rob Ridpath, who attended with his wife Alina. “But by far, the best part was our time at the academy meeting the children and really connecting with what Young Living is all about: making a difference in the lives of people everywhere.” Throughout the week, members enjoyed the beach, a relaxing spa day highlighted by Raindrop Technique® treatments, fourwheeling, jet skiing, and local excursions to markets and restaurants in the area. Attendees bonded with one another, enjoyed personal growth, and took in the sights and sounds of beautiful Ecuador. “We left Ecuador feeling very proud of our company, its leaders, its mission, and our place in it all,” said Rob. “It was a life-changing week, for sure!” page 1

“SUCCESS IS MEASURED by obstacles overcome,” wrote Booker T. Washington; and by that thought alone, the D. Gary Young Foundation has had great success! In November, Young Living members visited the Young Living Academy in Ecuador during the Master Leader Retreat. This group of leaders listened to the children tell them how the school has changed their community and families and how it has given each student hope for the future. Even more, the children explained how much they need a high school. During the visit, a “cornerstone” was formed, and each leader contributed to a dream. When the day’s activity was completed, $36,000 was collected—enough funds to break ground for the new high school! Thank you to each of these wonderful leaders for embracing their ability to make a difference in the world. Throughout this great day, the leaders were entertained by the students and spent time with the children whom they had sponsored. It was a day of magic and wonder as each person was moved in a very special way. The kindness in the eyes of every child and the warmth of their Jill Young unites with a YL Academy student. desire to learn touched everyone. One member told me that saying goodbye to the child he sponsors was the most difficult thing he had ever done. If you would like to become a supporter of the new high school, please visit DGaryYoungFoundation.org. There you will have the opportunity to purchase bricks to help build the school, and your name will be placed on the wall of honour. The DGYF honours all those who support the vision of the Young Living Academy.
