“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi (Companion oil: Young Living Harmony™.)

I was going to use ‘if life gives you lemons, make lemonade’ as a quote to start today’s post but it’s so overdone, I won’t. (And I think I’ve already used it on a previous post about lemons. I rest my case.) Another option if life gives you lemons is to make lemon oil, though you’ll [...]
