Hello and welcome!
I am writing this late on a sunny January day in Tennessee. I am loving the milder winter weather down here! I even have daffodils popping up in my flower bed near the garage. Very uplifting!
Today I am posting the second video in my healthy digestion series. In the first video I explained why healthy digestion is important. This video breaks down the digestive process. Believe it or not, there is more to digestion than what happens in your stomach - LOL! Enjoy the video

Hello and Happy Day!
I made a promise to myself that I would help others improve their health in 2021.
We know that many people are worried about their overall health. The past year’s scare with Covid has led many to understand the importance of a healthy body. Here are some interesting facts:
According to Endocrineweb.com, One in three Americans including half over the age of 60, have insulin resistance, an indicator for diabetes, pre-diabetes, heart attacks, Alzheimer’s and cancer.
43 million Americans or about 20% of the population have chronic inflammation – www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 1/20/20
34 million Americans, about 1 in 10, have diabetes. 90 – 95% have type 2 diabetes. CDC.com 2/11/20
There is one thing all these facts have in common…they can be traced back to an unhealthy digestive system! Healthy digestion is the KEY to better health.
To start the year off, I created a three-part series on healthy digestion. The three videos discuss why it is important, what good digestion is and finally how you can improve your digestion to support better physical and emotional health. I will post them over the next few days.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday. For us it was a big change. Kevin and I celebrated here at the farm with Stella, our dog. Quiet for sure. We usually celebrate with lots of family in RI. We did not mind. It was rather nice to relax and be together. It topped of a year of changes...some good, some bad. We feel grateful that the good outweighed the bad. Both of us were able to use the restrictions to get some big projects done.
On to 2021...
How are you doing? Did you set goals for the new year?
As we head into the third week of January, reality can start to set in. New Year's resolutions start to fade and some of our good intentions have been swept aside by life.
Don't let this get you down! This is the best time to reflect on the goals and resolutions you set. Ask yourself some tough questions about why they are not working out. Then make new goals based on the reality of your situation. This saying comes to mind, "Your life does not get better by chance. It gets better by change." - Unknown
Is it time for change?
Carefully and thoughtfully write down your new goal(s). Ask yourself if they are SMART - Specific (but I would switch with simple), measureable, acheivable, realistic and timely. Break this down into realistic steps that can be measured in a timely fashion. Saying, "I want to lose 10 pounds" might be an achievable goal but how are you going to do it? What are the steps (more exercise, reduce certain foods, stress reduction)? When do you want this to be acccomplished (10 days, one month, six months?) and will the steps you outlined help you reach that 10 pound weight loss in the time you have set? How will you measure your success - get on the scale every day, once a week, once a month?
If this sounds like too much to do, maybe it is time to find a personal trainer, nutritionist, or group that can help you stay on track and motivated. Only you can know what is right for you.
For those of you who are staying on course - awesome! Share with us how you keeping on track! What are some of the goals you have set and what are you doing to acheive them?
Remember, you are the only one who can make you, successful. They key is finding out the support system you need to help you acheive that success. Sometimes it is just a matter of posting them in public - go ahead and post your goals here! I will share with you some of mine!
I have big plans for 2021 - promoting my new book about helping others find better health, overcoming my fear and lack of knowledge of social media (especially with all the new platforms!), making our farm more operational (Cattle and some crops) and taking my own health to a deeper level. I have set SMART goals. I do not succeed every day but I get up the next morning with a smile and desire to, once again, move toward my goals.
Until next time...
Susan

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CDSNocZAOwb/?igshid=57kujil1eae7As a family, we have been asked many times why we created our nonprofit and more importantly, why do we travel to Guatemala to build homes. The answer is simple - family and inspiration...something needed today more than ever.
This video was created for Friendship Day by one of the gals from Techo, the organization we partner with in Guatemala. These are all young Guatemalans filmed while volunteering to build homes, community centers, playgrounds, etc. to help those in need. They do it to create a better tomorrow for their people and their country.
They are inspiring...look at their faces! They are caring and dedicated. They are family. When we watch this video we don’t just see young people, we see a family of people who we have come to love.
Watch to the end...you will see a couple of pictures of our build teams...we are easy to spot if you know to watch us...a few of the volunteers will be way older than the rest🤣🤣.
Thanks for watching - hope you are inspired about the youth of tomorrow https://www.instagram.com/tv/CDSNocZAOwb/?igshid=57kujil1eae7

I just love convention time! There is so much excitement...it is a chance to recharge, ground yourself in why you share Young Living and of course, there are new product role outs! This year's line up was outstanding! And, OH...the products!!
Many of you know that I am a huge proponent of supplements. We just cannot get what we need with the toxicity and stress in our lives. I don't care how well you eat! Yet most of the supplement lines out there are loaded with fillers so they can be mass produced. Young Living supplements have been formulated with edge cutting research and loaded with essential oils to make them more bio-available.
Young Living introduced a Super Vitamin D tablet! I have been waiting for years for this! I get Vitamin D in my Master Formula, Mindwise and Omegagize but I know my body still needs more. This new product has 250% of your daily allowance, is a vegan, plant based Vitamin D made from lichen. Most vitamin D comes from sheep's wool oil. I could go on and on about this product but you can take a look at it here: https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/quick-order/product-info-page/28972/false/shopping-cart?sponsorid=1228534&enrollerid=1228534 This should be on everyone's list!!
Other products that I am over the moon about and will feature on future posts are the Thieves Chest Rub (Amazing), The Kidscents Unwind product, and the Bloom Face System. Of course Savvy Minerals came out with liquid foundation and concealer...Two highly requested products!
If you would like more information on any of the new products, please email me at gratefuloiler@gmail.com.. I will be happy to talk to you about the products!
Remember...Almost EVERYONE should be on a quality Vitamin D supplement to support calcium and phosphorus uptake...think healthy bones, respiratory immune support and cognitive function support!
