2013 Week 30

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Home.  I have rented the house we are living in for almost 6 years.  When I first moved in there was no grass on the South side of the house, and the house needed a bit of love here and there.  Today, the back yard is fenced in, the back porch room has been painted and new screen and we have lots of outside furniture.  Inside it is a bit of a jungle.  All in all, it IS not just a house we live in, it IS our home.  A home we share with family, friends and those whom we like to be around.  I am thankful and grateful for the resources for us to have this as our home.

ABOUT THE BLOGGER:

Royal D. Bush was born and raised in the Omaha metro area raised in a single parent family, with his Mother Mildred.  His first many years of life were spent in Bellevue, where he and his mother attended church at the First Baptist Church of Bellevue.  Eventually Omaha became home, where as a young adult, Royal began attending various worship services with friends and family before finally calling MCC Omaha his home, where he went on to serve as Minister of Hospitality.

In 2009, Royal founded Inclusive Life Pastoral Services; a Nebraska, nonprofit, multifaith based organization that offers care and services to individuals, couples and families who are not a part of church, organized religion, or have a religious belief.  He is ordained and serves as a Chaplain.  Inclusive Life serves all without exception, religious and nonreligious.  He continues to share his belief and message that “You are beautiful, you are loved and you are worthy, just the way you are.  You are not alone.”

In 2012 he married his partner of five years, Jonathan.  They share a home in the Dundee area of Omaha.  Today, Royal is a member and attends service at the First Unitarian Church of Omaha.  He currently is working on two projects: A 2 hour “You Retreat” that will be offered monthly, at no charge!  It will focus on allowing people to experience themselves in ways perhaps not experienced before or often.  And secondly, he is studying and training for knowledge with Aromatherapy and Essential Oils.

Fierce Protection for Home & Health with Thieves Products
In this day, when dangerous diseases and virulent viruses challenge our health from all sides, it is imperative that we build a "Zone of Protection" around home and family. I imagine that Zone as a force field so strong that viruses, bacteria, and sickness bounce off harmlessly. It protects me everywhere I go, because I use the Thieves Family of Products. This collection of home and personal care products from Young Living will boost your immune system and reduce the spread of germs. This newsletter shows many of the Thieves products that Young Living customers depend on to create their own Essential Zones of Protection. You can too-at work, when traveling-wherever you go. But first, let me tell you the story of Thieves.

How Thieves™ Came to Young Living
Young Living's Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical tale of a band of thieves in 15th century France. These men, who may have been spice merchants, successfully avoided contracting the plague by rubbing themselves with cloves, rosemary, cinnamon and other aromatics on their bodies before robbing their victims.₁ After researching numerous stories written about these robbers and other medieval texts, D. Gary Young developed the formula now known as Thieves essential oil blend. And now, today's scientists confirm that the same essential oils the robbers used are powerful antimicrobial agents.

Hundreds of Scientific Reports Confirm Antimicrobial Action of Essential Oils in Thieves Blend
"In recent years (1987-2001) a large number of essential oils and their constituents have been investigated for their antimicrobial properties... in more than 500 reports. Essential oils of spices and herbs (Thyme, Oregano, Mint, Cinnamon, Sage, and Clove) were found to possess the strongest antimicrobial properties among the many tested.₂

Thieves Blend™ was found to have a 99.6 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria, during rigorous testing at Weber State University, Ogden, Utah.₃

When Ancient Tradition Links with Modern Society: Thieves™ Blend
Fast forward - 20th century, Young Living Essential Oils begins testing Thieves™ Blend, a proprietary combination of cinnamon, clove and rosemary essential oils for its potent antimicrobial properties. Now the power of Thieves can be found in over a dozen products, from toothpaste and mouthwash to cleaning products, hand soaps and even throat lozenges. The Thieves Family of Products offers safe, natural alternatives to toxic, mass-marketed personal and home care products. Read on for quick tips on using the personal care products at home or on the go.

Thieves™ Blend Product Line: Boost Immune System - Naturally.
In the morning and at bedtime, apply 1-2 drops of Thieves to the soles of your feet. Then, cup hands around your nose and inhale deeply for 2-3 minutes.

Thieves™ Blend is so effective and popular - that there is an entire line of germ fighting products to choose from: Sore Throat Lozenges; Household Cleanser; Bar Soap; Foaming Hand Soap, Toothpaste; and Mouthwash.

Kill Germs that Cause Bad Breath, Gum Disease
Clean teeth, fresh mouth, no harsh abrasives or alcohol are reasons you'll like all three Dentarome toothpastes and Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash. However, what you'll appreciate is that they deliver Thieves oil directly to the gumline. According to periodontist Robert Hoskyns, DMD, "certain essential oils kill the bacteria around the gumline which cause gingivitis and periodontal disease. The essential oils' primary benefit to patients is the acceleration of gum healing and shrinkage due to their antibacterial action.'

Now you can begin your Zone of Protection, with help from the Thieves Family. To get started today, try the Thieves Rewards Pack. You'll stock up at great savings.

2013 Week 29

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Relationship. It was around 8 years ago that I first started emailing Jonathan.  I lived in Omaha and he lived in New Hampshire.  Our emails soon turned to texts, letters, and phone calls that all lead to a visit to Omaha for Jonathan.  A few months later he moved her.  Our relationship represents almost 6 years of being together and 1 year being legally married (thank you Iowa.)  We can finish each others thoughts and sayings most of the time, and know with a glace where the other is.  I am reminded of a passage that I read at weddings often, it is not finding the right partner, it is being the right partner.  I have found someone who loves me as hard as I love them.  And for that, I am one of the richest men in the world!  I hope you take time to let someone you love very much know how much you mean to them.  A note, a phone call, a visit means the world.  Love wins!

SAFE.  NON-TOXIC.  NATURAL  

DO IT YOURSELF BUG SPRAY

April showers bring May flowers! Spring is also the time when insects and bugs begin to multiply at astounding levels and pester any early evening plans in the fresh air. If you’re anything like me, then you are also certain that mosquitoes and other biting insects are out to get you and may keep you indoors instead of enjoying the pleasant weather outside.

Bugs should not keep us from a walk around the park or neighborhood, a relaxing getaway at your favorite fishing hole, or enjoying a barbecue with family and friends. Before you get to the point of banishing yourself indoors, try this all-natural approach to a safe and hazard-free bug spray with 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils from the World Leader in Essential Oils®.

ITEMS NEEDED:

• Spray bottle, 8 oz.

• Distilled water, 4 oz.

• Unscented witch hazel, 4 oz.

• Thieves® essential oil blend

• Purification® essential oil blend

• Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil

• Citronella essential oil

• Lavender essential oil

• Lemon essential oil

• Peppermint essential oil

• Idaho tansy essential oil

Preparation:

• Fill an 8-oz. spray bottle with 4 oz. of distilled water
• Add 4 oz. of witch hazel
• Add 10 drops of Thieves, Purification, and Melaleuca alternifolia essential oils
• Add 5 drops of lemon, lavender, peppermint, Idaho tansy, and citronella essential oils
• Shake well before each use and spray a light layer on skin and clothing

This natural alternative to toxic store-bought bug sprays will keep you free from chemicals and other unnatural ingredients—not to mention the pleasant aroma that will be with you as you enjoy the nature around you.

However, if by chance you find yourself outside without bug spray, Purification is an amazing after-bite reliever that minimizes itching and redness, so be sure to keep some handy wherever you go.

FAMILY.  Family is given and it is chosen.  Each have their unique beauty, challenges and rewards.  We gathered to celebrate the birthday of a member of our family and it was so great to see 18 unique people gather in community for a night to celebrate, focus and love one person.  Family is awe inspiring.

I am sharing one photo each week and one word that represents what I am grateful for.

GRATEFUL WORD: PEACE

Watching the wildlife in the lake was a bit mesmerizing for me.  I got lost watching each little one duck under for food, larger ones disappear for several seconds while going to the bottom.  All of them looking out for one another.  It reminded me of how quickly we can get lost when we let ourselves!  No phones, no schedule, no agenda... just peace.  Peace.  Pass it forward!

2013 Week 26

I am sharing one photo each week and one word that represents what I am grateful for.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Vigilance. On June 26th, the United States Supreme Court cited that DOMA violated Due Process of the Fifth Amendment.  The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was created under the leadership of President George W. Bush, aimed at preventing same-sex couples from marrying or being recognized by the Federal Government.  With DOMA being struck down, this clears the way for being one step closer to equality in this country.  A long hard fight it has been so far.  The next step will be to rid the constitutional amendments that states  have specifically preventing same sex marriages, unions, or recognizing ANY type of same-sex relationship.  With about 1/3 of the states offering same-sex marriages, with DOMA gone it is thought that many now will alter or enact laws to provide them in their state.  I am vigilant that in my lifetime equality for all LGBT people will be achieved, and no longer will they have to suffer without the over 1,200 laws and benefits that apply to those who are able to get married.  

Further, I understand that same-sex marriage may not fit what some churches, organized religions, and faiths call marriage.  And since we are a secular nation, one without a national religion, I certainly at peace with that.

Omaha Essential Oils

Each Wednesday I will share information and updates about Aromatherapy, Omaha Essential Oils, and Meditation that is offered at Inclusive Life (37^th and Leavenworth.)

An easy check of many sites, books and references each reveals a similar answer:  Essential oils are concentrated hydrophobic liquids containing volatile aroma compounds from plants.  Oil is "essential" in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant (much like blood is to humans.)  

SHARING NEWS!

As of July 1^st, 2013 we are excited to share that we will offer Zyto Compass Assessments.  For those who use Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils, those who are interested in using natural and organic; supplements, skin products, nutrition products and better living products the Zyto Compass Assessment is something for you to try.  Beginning July 1st, 2013 Essential Oils Omaha (Inclusive Life) will offer the Zyto Compass Assessment.

The Zyto Compass Assessment is as easy as placing your hand on a cradle for about 5-6 minutes while it checks and monitors 76 points in your hand that provide bio-feedback (brainwaves, muscle tone, skin conductance, heart rate and pain perception)

This feedback is provided to you in a written report that you can take with you.  It clearly demonstrates areas in your body that have a high preference for the need to be changed.  Once aligned, you can have a new assessment completed every 2 months to keep up on changes and progress you have made.

THIS WEEKS TOPIC… PEPPERMINT

Product Summary

Peppermint has an invigorating and fresh mint aroma. This amazing and versatile essential oil has been widely studied for its potential health benefits and for its ability to enhance mental acuity. It is also known for its impressive support of digestive functions.*

Peppermint is native to Europe and is a hybrid of the wintergreen and spearmint plants. Growing to approximately 2 feet tall, peppermint plants bloom from July through August, sprouting tiny, purple flowers in whorls and terminal spikes. Preparations for extracting peppermint essential oil begin with the leaves and flowering tops of the plant, where menthol—peppermint’s primary active component—is extracted.

Primary Benefits

• One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion*

• Supports digestive efficiency *

• May improve taste and smell when inhaled*

• May improve concentration and mental acuity*

Who Should Take Peppermint Essential Oil?

• Individuals seeking a natural way to soothe muscles*

• Those looking to fill the air with a fresh, energizing aroma

• Those looking for a lift in mental acuity and concentration*

• Anyone seeking natural support for proper digestive function*

• Alan Hirsch, MD, studied peppermint’s ability to directly

affect the brain’s satiety center, which triggers a sensation of

fullness after meals.*

• You can mix a 15-ml bottle of peppermint essential oil into a

5-gallon can of paint to dispel the fumes.

Complementary Products

• DiGize Essential Oil Blend

• Essentialzymes-4

• Ortho Ease Massage Oil

Suggested Use

• Dietary: Add 1 drop to a glass of water, tea, or any other beverage to increase flavor or calm digestive upset.*

• Topical: Apply 1 drop oil to 2 drops V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex and apply wherever desired. Do not apply peppermint essential oil to a fresh wound or burn.

• Aromatic: Diffuse up to 1 hour 3 times daily or inhale directly for aromatherapy.

Cautions

• Keep out of reach of children.

• If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a health professional prior to use.

• Possible skin sensitivity.

Did You Know?

• The term “mint” is from the Greek name Mintha, a mythological nymph transformed into a plant by the goddess Persephone after she learned of her husband Pluto’s love for her.

Energy Drinks can be VERY dangerous to your body.  There are documented cases of people being in upstream duress by drinking energy drinks on a regular bases or many in a period of time.  Peppermint is a naturally safe way to increase alertness and may provide you the added boost you need, when you need it!

GRATEFUL WORD: 

DETERMINATION  No mater what.  Do not give up.  You can do it.  

Below is a photo of Jonny, Anita, Beth and myself.  Anita just graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  We are so very proud of her.  Despite moving a few times, financial struggles, and just before graduating; having not one but TWO surgeries to implant a pacemaker.  SHE DID IT!  She was determined, and dammit she did it!  Never, ever give up.

About the writer…

Royal D. Bush was born and raised in the Omaha metro area raised in a single parent family, with his Mother Mildred.  His first many years of life were spent in Bellevue, where he and his mother attended church at the First Baptist Church of Bellevue.  Eventually Omaha became home, where as a young adult, Royal began attending various worship services with friends and family before finally calling MCC Omaha his home, where he went on to serve as Minister of Hospitality.

In 2009, Royal founded Inclusive Life Pastoral Services; a Nebraska, nonprofit, multifaith based organization that offers care and services to individuals, couples and families who are not a part of church, organized religion, or have a religious belief.  He is ordained and serves as a Chaplain.  Inclusive Life serves all without exception, religious and nonreligious.  He continues to share his belief and message that “You are beautiful, you are loved and you are worthy, just the way you are.  You are not alone.”

In 2012 he married his partner of five years, Jonathan.  They share a home in the Dundee area of Omaha.  Today, Royal is a member and attends service at the First Unitarian Church of Omaha.  He currently is working on two projects: A 2 hour “You Retreat” that will be offered monthly, at no charge!  It will focus on allowing people to experience themselves in ways perhaps not experienced before or often.  And secondly, he is studying and training for knowledge with Aromatherapy and Essential Oils.
