What would YOU do? You are with your kids/grandkids at the local corn maze. The little boy in front of you gets stung several times by a wasp and is screaming, what would you do?

What Will YOU Say? Take a minute, think about what you would say if someone asks you what YOU do?

Don’t let the conversation stay on you, keep it going back to them Don’t let the conversation stay on you, keep it going back to them! “I teach others how to take care of their health with essential oils, so….tell me more about…..”
