Dr. Mary Starr Joins Us Again ~ Thank you Mary Starr!

I could write a formal introduction for Dr. Mary but I decided not to for a couple reasons. First, she isn't new to the blog and she is more than a doctor...she is my friend. Another reason, she might not be new to One Sister's Journey but  you might be, so she deserves an introduction. Mary and I met the first time through my sister, Heidi M Allen. Only God knew the unexpected and different paths we would each travel from the halls of Bishop Cunningham and the volleyball court to today.

Our relationship started with Heidi as the common denominator yet transitioned years later, and even years after Heidi's abduction. My friend Laurie introduced me to Young Living Essential Oils. I started with Peppermint Essential Oil for my headaches, then Thieves Essential Oil to keep me healthy, and then the Ningxia Red Juice and so much more. I decided to sign up as a distributor so I could get these life changing products at a reduced cost. The more I experienced the benefits of them, the easier it was to share with others and I started to train under Dr. Mary's to be an active distributor.

I learned so much from Dr. Mary about the oils, health, wellness, business, and marketing. Many of these skills and organizational strategies I continue to incorporate in my writing and speaking because she trained me to be a successful business woman, not just a Young Living Essential Oil distributor. After a couple years though I felt God calling me to write and finish Where's Heidi? One Sister's Journey. I explained this to Dr. Mary and she gave me her love, prayers, and support as I moved forward to reach this dream and help others.

It was during the mentorship our relationship transformed into friendship and this bond lasts today, even though we both are on different, yet similar journeys. I still use Young Living products daily and believe in them.

If you are interested, visit their website: https://www.youngliving.org/ If you decide these are products you are interested in to help with a healthier living, you can sign up as a "retail customer" or a  "independent distributor". Can I ask you a favor, if you decide to sign up, would you enter #799780 as your sponsor ID? This will give me a little credit and a chance to earn some free product. I apologize if this promo offends anyone, this is never my intent, but thought I'd share in case someone is interested.

Even though I don't utilize my distributorship as a business, I maintain it so I can purchase my products at a reduced cost.

Dr. Mary is the expert and go to person, she has a Facebook page too so people can access her knowledge and help live: https://www.facebook.com/TheTotalWellnessDocandMom 

The greatest attribute of Mary is her heart. She consistently gives of herself to help others be the best woman, man, or child they can be. Initially when she mentored me with the essential oils, neither of us were believers. Since then, we've both realized the need for God in our lives and the relationship with Jesus that is necessary to get through the day. The
last time we got together, to tape the video below -- we laughed, cried, and shared testimonies. God is so cool. Although walking in different directions, our lives were actually on a parallel path - something only God could orchestrate.
