Hello Reader,

​

Thank you for being part of the Jubilee of Wellness community! I am so glad that you are here. 🍀💐

​

I'm going to be completely honest about Mother's Day. We know it can be a magical day that highlights the gratitude we feel for the women in our families that have given so much of their lives to nurturing, loving, defending and guiding us through life.

This day also can invoke much loss and grief in others. The question for many is with all the commercials of the perfect Mothers Day, how do those who's mothers have passed honor and celebrate these mothers who are no longer here on earth with them?

​

I've had many people tell me over the years that I'm so lucky that my mom is still here and how much they wished they could have saved their mother or just how much they miss her. It hurts my heart for them.

And, to be honest, even with my mother still here, sometimes I grieve not having a healthy mom. One where we're at the spa instead of the oncologist. And on road trips instead of hospital stays. There's no anger with this, just some moments of sadness if I'm completely honest.
​
Motherhood and life is not always sparkly perfect for everyone, and that's ok! It's not wrong to grieve and I forgive myself for these moments. It's important to allow those feelings to happen and not shove them down. Practicing aromatherapy, can help us work throug many feelings. Ever the simple act of spraying Rose Hydrosol on my pillow as I climb into bed at night and reminding myself of all the joys in my life and for my mom's care and kindness can help with this.

​

I believe that it's very important to make the absolute most from where we are! To celebrate the mother that we have or had. To honor her, even if she has moved on from this life, by doing something kind for ourselves or a women that we admire! On Mother's Day, I make sure to text my aunts, neighbors and friends, even if they never had children. I thank them for caring for me and my children, for caring for stray animals and elderly neighbors. And for taking to time to make the world a warmer and kinder place.

​

I have just the thing that helps soften the heart, reduce stress and worry and even helps to soothe grief. It's my Rose Hydrosol from the country of Bulgaria, known for it's roses. Unlike fragrances that over power and never go away, Rose Hydrosol is gentle and delicate. The aroma disappears after a few moments, allowing you to enjoy being graced by the gentleness that rose water provides. After you spray the mist around your face or pillow and inhale, you will instantly feel relaxed and at peace.

​

To help celebrate and to help soothe this Mother's Day Weekend, I'm offering 2 bottles of Rose Hydrosol, one for you and one for a mom or friend, for $22!

​

You can order yours here and choose pick up for free at the New Albany Farmers Market!

Here's a picture of my new product model, my sweet mom, Teena, at our house where she's staying for a while.

She enjoys spraying Rose Hydrosol on her blankets every night before bed. 🥀

With love and gratitude,
