Aromatherapy is a fantastic and easy way to improve the mood and ambiance in a private residence or in an assisted living facility. It has been known to either calm the mood with lavender, geranium, or ylang ylang or can spark focus and productivity with rosemary, peppermint or eucalyptus.  If you don't have the budget for essential oils and a diffuser, this is a simple and inexpensive way to share the benefits of aromatherapy.  Here is a simple way to use the fragrant flowers from your garden to mimic the same aromatic effects!

Inspiration Comes In All Shapes And Sizes

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. 
                                                                                                                                                                 – George Bernard Shaw

It is in the small moments, between those life changing highs and those devastating lows that we truly find out who we are.  When no one is looking, and we are responsible just for ourselves, we have a set of unique choices to make.  This may range from a simple, "will I change out of my sweatpants today?" to some more serious questioning of "am I truly happy in this relationship anymore?"  Being true to yourself, and having patience to figure out what your needs are, is not only a challenging skill, but a virtually unanimously overlooked part of wellness.  How many of us spend time bettering ourselves on communication skills, or the latest in technology?  We do what we need to to increase our income and our status in the eyes of others, but are we doing this to a detriment for our happiness?

​     Inspiration - or better yet, the acceptance of the true beauty that lies right in front of each of us - can get through to us when we realize that something has to give.  This is your reminder that beauty is everywhere, and you will never get back this day, and this moment.  Go out and LIVE your life to it's fullest, and don't forget to make some mistakes along the way.  

Enjoy!
