MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH REBUILD NEPAL Gary Young and members build homes in Yarsa
Continued from page 1 FOUNDER'S MESSAGE Our business has the potential to allow flexible work hours, to work at home or wherever you are, and to achieve the freedom to pick and choose what you do at work. It’s an amazing feeling to be home with your children, to help them with school work, or to attend a sports activity on your schedule. The opportunity to work alongside a spouse is something that we dream about but often never achieve, and that too is possible. If that lifestyle is what you desire, a Young Living business can offer that possibility. Building a business takes passion, time, skill, and patience; but the work can be fun. It is exciting to watch those in your organization become successful, and we are thrilled to watch women of different cultures and walks of life rise to the highest ranks and achieve goals they set for themselves and their families. Young Living women have a future of endless possibilities, lighting the fire within, which is contagious as families gather

AN OPEN LETTER TO ESSENTIAL OIL NEWBIES An excerpt from the Young Living Blog You'll inspire greater physical wellness A gym bag isn’t complete without oils. A few drops of invigorating Peppermint can be just the thing you need to do that extra pull-up or run that extra mile. A few drops of Grapefruit Vitality™ can be the difference between drinking a couple sips of water or the entire bottle. Keep them handy
We're excited to see where this journey will take you! Dear New Young Living Member: We’re so excited that you’ve decided to join us! We know that joining will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made. Why? Because Young Living essential oils have the power to elevate, motivate, and inspire. In this letter, we’ve put together a list of ways they can transform your life.
You'll smell amazing People will want to know how you smell just like a blossoming orange grove or field of lavender, and you’ll tell them that it’s because that’s exactly where the aroma came from! It’s the smell of 100 percent pure essential oils, derived directly from fresh oranges or lavender.
for those moments when a little motivation could mean the difference between going the distance or giving up.
They will spark your creativity With essential oils, the usage possibilities are virtually endless. You might start by adding a couple drops to your moisturizer, laundry, or household cleaners. You’ll need to embrace the fact that essential oils will become a key part of your everyday life, and the more you use them, the more you’ll wonder how you ever got by without them. Warmest regards, Your friends at Young Living P.S. There are even more reasons you’ll love YL! Find them all at bit.ly/YLOpenLetter.
