As I write this blog post today, I have to confess that I’m really stressed, yet trying hard to keep up every commitment and every goal for the approaching holidays and for my self-committed responsibilities to maintaining the Health Matters Show. Why you ask? Because life happens and we never want to “not do” what’s important to us or what we’ve already promised to do.
Case in point, take this week’s subjects: a) being sick all over with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, b) how and why the body gets so confused about how to heal and c) the holistic healing and health answers for improving your health.
This week my husband hurt his back badly. We’ve been to the emergency room twice in four days. He’s on high-powered drugs… and he can’t drive safely. So I’m not only playing nursemaid, but chauffeur. My time and energy have not been my own. Thank goodness I’m well enough now to do that. Way back when I was so sick, that would not have been the case.

I started the Health Matters Show in the spring of 2008. For some time I had been training to learn the technology with high hopes of putting all of the knowledge and contacts I had created for 15+ years to good use. I really wanted to make a difference in the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome communities.
But since I’d been working so hard, day and night, for months on end and considering I was under an emotional strain from a particular family situation, I had not been paying really close attention to my own health. Working on clients? Yes. Working on family? Yes. Seeing to everyone else’s needs? Yes. Putting the show and the websites together? Yes. Even planning a two-week trip out west for more training? Yes.
Well, the day before I was to leave for the trip, I started getting sick. Within a day on the proverbial road, I was much worse. Thank goodness I took along my Young Living essential oils, Thieves, Oregano and Lemon. It would have been nice to have had some others to help me, too, but at least I had those. The airlines overlooked the bottles in checking me out, but oh how mighty and important they were to me!
I probably smelled like an aromatic pharmacy in the meetings, airplanes and restaurants. I could have cared less. The point is that my body survived what probably would have otherwise been a severe case of broncitis or walking pneumonia. I had not been that sick since 2003, right before I healed from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I used my oils religiously, slept as much as I could, drank a lot of pure, clean water and practiced as many holistic healing regimens on myself as I had time for. The point is, I survived.
Now, even with what I’m doing for my husband, I’m still surviving and flourishing, too. Playing nursemaid when necessary, driving as needed. My husband and I make a good team because we each try to help the other one out when it’s needed. Right now he’s putting a roast in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots.
So, I ask you, dear one, are you prepared for both the good days and the bad ones to come, even the ones when you’re sick all over? Are you using tools like Young Living Essential Oils and their other products to bolster and support your Immune System? Do you have an understanding with your spouse and family members how important it is to pitch in and help each other out when needed?
If you answer, “No,” to any of these, you have some work to do. Now, I’ve got to run and take a quick peek at that roast. You have a good one and a very happy weekend,
Cinda Crawford, host of the Health Matters Show
