Lead with Love
As I was out walking last evening, I thought about all the division I see in todays world.  Does it bother you that people get on Facebook and throw out their opinion which sometimes is purposely done to point their finger at someone with the opposite opinion?  I know it does for me.  I see these posts that say something like “Come on people you’re smarter than that”  well you know what they probably think the same way as you on the other side of the coin.  Why do we always bash another’s opinion?  How do you know they are wrong, and you are right?  And does it matter if they are wrong?  Really, is it hurting you if they believe that way?  

I have a sister that is completely on the other side of the political spectrum from me. Do I love visiting with her? Yes.  We must avoid politics, but we have so many things in common. She is extremely passionate about holistic health just like me and I love listening to her ideas and sharing mine with her.  Do we sometimes go off on politics with each other? Yes.  But I still love her even if I completely disagree with her.  And it is not that I disagree with all of her points, I just disagree with who makes the best leader to put those things in place.   

And back to Facebook, my question is, “would you say what you are writing directly to someone else in person?”  Maybe you would, I do not know, but I personally think we should listen to the other person with an open mind and let them tell us why they think that way.   Instead of just going after them and totally disagreeing and telling them they are stupid.  We all come to our own conclusions about things and it is okay, we do not have to agree.  

I know it is exceedingly difficult to do especially if it is something you are extremely passionate about. But if you take the time to give your side and the reasons why you feel the way you do instead of bashing someone else, maybe just maybe they will see and change their opinion.  Maybe they do not have all the information you do.  Then again maybe they will not but at least you have tried in a way that they can see you care.  Caring goes a long way.  Even if they still disagree, if you are kind and explain things from your point a view, who knows maybe they will think about what you said and do their own research.   Maybe, just maybe they will change their way of thinking.  You just never know.  But I can guarantee that if you call them an idiot they are going to completely shut down and not hear a thing you have to say.

So, let us all go out and spread kindness and love for our fellow human beings.  

Blessings,
Anna

Meet Anna McElligott

 
Once upon a time our lives were so much harder.  We had no options for helping ourselves with everyday bumps, bruises and overall issues that every family with children encounter.  When my children were small I knew deep down that I didn’t like using all the things I was told I needed on hand for all the things children got when small.  I had no idea there were so many different viruses and weird illnesses out there until I had kids!

Fast forward several years to when my kids were getting older and one suffered greatly with allergies.   I knew in my heart there had to be a better way!  As I was talking to my niece about this she told me about a product she had discovered that helped her immensely, and this product was all natural!!!

I waited an entire year before I decided to jump in and give it a try, this particular spring was really getting to my child with allergies and I hated feeding her OTC allergy meds.   I took the plunge and ordered the products she suggested and was so happy with how much they helped my daughter, no more allergy meds for us!!!

Our lives are so much better now and in my research I have discovered so many more ways to use the products she suggested.  Now when we have the sniffles or someone gets a bump or one of them is stressing over a problem I have a way to help them naturally!  I am so happy and we are so much healthier as a result!!!
