I love participating in the 2 community craft fairs in my neighborhood. All vendors live in the neighborhood and the whole things takes place in our community center. I love going there because I get to connect with so many of my neighbors who also own small businesses. We usually end up buying from each other and do chat a lot. 😂

@Jane Lawson Yes, we are lucky we settled here in this community. It's a great place and very diverse.

Oh, this sounds wonderful! Enjoy and sharing a video with those of us who can't partake in the fun due to distance would be much appreciated.

@Jane Lawson Thants all I can ask for. 😊

Liz Fulcher nailed it. Mai husband doesn't even dare open his mouth to say that this and that hurt while at work. Because the first thing he will here from me is "Did you look in your kit? This oil could have helped, and you've got a card there too explaining everything."

@Liz Fulcher I would say he's well trained if he wouldn't constantly forget he has the set in his drawer at work. 😂

Jane, it was a pleasure as always. When you forget about time and your grumbling stomach has to remind you, it was definitely a great meeting. ❤️ One thing I wanted to mention, my dowser really has a mind of it's own. I'm not sure if you noticed I had taken my neckless off during class. When I asked my dowser to pick up my energy it gave me an instant clear "NO". I was like, "What the heck?" Once I took the necklace off, it worked like a charm. Must have not liked the stones in the necklace. 😆

Jane, your points resonate deeply with me. The boundaries between complementary wellness practices and areas requiring specialized clinical training are not always clearly understood in our field, and I appreciate you naming that so directly. My family background in medicine instilled the 'do no harm' philosophy in me early on, and it guides everything I do in my aromatherapy practice. I'm very clear with my clients that aromatherapy is an additional tool in their wellness toolkit, never a replacement for conventional care or qualified psychological support. And I always encourage them to consult their physician first. As for mixing personal belief systems into professional practice - I share your perspective completely. Our clients come to us from many different backgrounds and belief systems, and our role is to serve them, not to project our own worldview onto their healing journey.
