Ordinary work, which is what most of us do most of the time, is ordained by God every bit as much as is the extraordinary. All work done for God is spiritual work and therefore not merely a duty but a holy privilege.

    If you have any plastic cash or actual green bills after Black Friday, I’m going to make a list here of some ways you can spend what’s remaining. Full disclaimer – yes, everything I share here can help me earn plastic money and genuine money as well.  Most of it in rather tiny ways, but we all know how piggy banks get filled – one coin at a time. Let us now commence my pretty much shameless plug here for all the ways I use side hustles to foot the bills for my family. (And let me include a photo here so you can see how tall and cute these…

    Frankincense – a little educating (but not by me)

    March 27, 2019 /

    It’s been more than I year since I signed up with Young Living and started down a road of trying to proactively learn more about essential oils. Truthfully, in most ways I have done next to nothing to use Young Living as a way to earn money.  But I have been building up my own collection, selling to a few friends, and learning more and more at the snail’s pace at which I learn anything new these days. And that’s a-okay with me.  (I mean, hey – I’m not opposed to alternative revenue streams, right Dave Ramsey?  But, I also know my own limitations on time and energy during this…

    Meet Bri: A Young Living Q&A

    February 13, 2018 /

      I told you guys a few weeks ago that I was delving into the world of essential oils in a kind of professional way.  (Sort of how I do everything – kind of.) I’m entering Young Living like I enter a swimming pool – I’m a toe dipper.  A wade in first and then take forever to finally dunk my entire head under water.  I have friends who are high dive jumpers.  They’re all in.  There might be a circumstance or two in my life where I have jumped all in, but those tend to be the exceptions for me.  I like to test the waters. For Young Living…

    Me and Young Living: At the Beginning

    January 22, 2018 /

      So. Essential oils. I’ve been learning slowly about the benefits and the uses of essential oils for years.  A friend of mine calls it voodoo magic and that makes me laugh.  She and I both joke about that title and we both seem to pair skepticism along with a willingness to give it a go.  That and more than a handful of occasions where the voodoo crossed into experiential fact and here I am today writing this post about essential oils. I definitely like the smell of oils.  And at first, perhaps, my dabbling in them was primarily because I like stuff to smell nice.  And a house that…
