I just did a happy dance in the parking lot of Tractor Supply because I got $50 credited back as a "Neighbors Club" member. TSC is one of our all time most visited stores..... we love them, and they love us because we drop so much 💰💰💰at their doorstep for our farm-ily's needs. 🐕🐱🐄🐎🐓🐣
As I was driving home, I thought about how silly that was of me to get all excited for saving $50. Broken down, I believe that $50 credit represented 5 months of $10 back for spending regularly at TSC. .... $10 back per month regardless of how much we spend there. I humbly submit to you that Charlie and I have the dubious honor of being on this Tractor  Supply's list of "Top 10 Patrons" (yes, we have THAT MANY animals).... so let your imagination run on what our monthly feed and animal supply bill looks like.
....And then my mind wandered to the Loyalty Program that Young Living has. Because we have used Loyalty Rewards  (being a monthly patron of Subscribe to Save) for more than 25 consecutive months, we now get 25% back on all of our orders. (10% back for the first 3 months, 20% back for months 4 thru 24). I did a quick rough calculation in my head and found that in 5 months, I had been able to "buy " approximately $750 in products for free, just by being a valued customer. Wow!!! 
Sometimes it's easy to forget or take for granted what we get each month. I'm always amazed by the freebies gifted to us with qualifying purchases each month, but I admit, I sometimes forget about how much those points help our farm-ily take care of ourselves.  We have dogs on Sulfurzyme and BLM.... massive amounts for two 🐕🐕of our older large dogs. Neither one would be with us today without these two supplements.  That $150 YL credit more than pays for their needs. 
Hidden blessings friends....
Tell me, how do you score in money back from where you shop?

​Fostering kittens..... anyone in need of a bundle of fluff or two (or 4)? Letterbox trained,  socialized, and already showing strong signs of being bookworms😁.

​In a perfect world, all barns would be stocked like this! (and households too 😁).

​It has been a few years since we've had a colicky horse. Colic in a horse isn't like colic in a baby.... it is not unusual for a horse to die from it if not caught early and treated quickly.I lost my first horse I ever had when I left for college. He colicked the first semester I was gone and was unable to be saved.😥
The following post 👇is from a friend of mine who has a fantabulous holistic barn education group (it is a paid for group, but very reasonably priced--- its called the Healing Barn Movement). She and her husband have many horses, and part of their life's work is to teach other horse families how to "do equine life"  toxin free both physically and emotionally (horses tend to mirror their humans). 
And meet Donkey Boy, if you haven't already! He's one of our equine herd of 5 on our farm. We do life as holistically as possible out here too. Our farm-ily is most definitely healthier for it. I've managed animals both ways.... the holistically managed animals tend to live longer healthier more productive lives..... just as it is with humans😉.

​Happy birthday Flynn! Hands down, one of my favorite things in life is new life!🙌❤
His little umbilicus got the standard dunking in a mix of Thieves Household Cleaner, Colloidal Silver, Frankincense, and Mountain Savory. Keep 'em healthy from day 1!

I've been working on a class about blood and blood typing with a couple of dear fellow educators. As I do my deep dives, it occurred to me to wonder why insects don't have red blood (does anyone else's mind go to places like this😂?)
I won't keep you in suspense if you are now on the edge of your seat with curiosity. Unlike mankind, the blood of insects does not transport oxygen. .... therefore no reddish colored hemoglobin is needed. 
Love your blood friends. Don't take it for granted and keep it clean and healthy or it cannot nourish the rest of your body.

When we hear about oil being used in the Bible, it may be easy to glide over the word and move on......( at least it was for me years ago) until I learned the historical uses for essential oils and pure carrier oils (like olive, coconut, jojoba, etc). Once I knew, reading the Bible became a 4th dimensional experience because I could grab an oil and thru smell and application, step into the pages. 
There is a document called The Papyrus Ebers which contains recipes for health and wellness. It is the longest and most famous document relating to the practice of ancient medicine, written about 1500 B.C.. The Bible is ripe with medical information that coorborates the Papyrus Ebers..... not surprising considering the Bible is to be used as a handbook for living life well ( and healthy!).
When Jesus was given gold, frankincense and myrrh, the latter two had more value than the gift of gold for their health benefits (and monetary value too).
A good shepherd knew the medicinal value of oil that came from plants. He would know which plants repelled flies, made the best poultices,  or healed a wound. This information was passed down from generation to generation. Neither man, beast, or plant has changed much over the centuries, and God has not changed at all.
He gave us what we need in the garden🙏. It's up to us to use it.

​The beauty of life is this..... wonderful things happen regardless of chaos or calm. Meet Justice.  A curious thing about this little guy..... we had just about decided that his mama was sterile and we were going to have to let her go. 3 months ago I noticed that she appeared to be preggo, but I didn't want to hold out too much hope since she's kinda "big boned " and has shown false signs before. Rosie continued to show small signs that got bigger and more obvious, so I knew we had turned a corner with her... and goodness was surely coming. Last night I knew we were less than 24hrs from go time. 
Justice was delivered early this morning.❤ 
Keep the faith friends. Sometimes when you are ready to bail out, that's when God shows up.
Have a beautiful day!
