Inspiring Hope and Addressing Practical Concerns

A Legacy of Hope

Gary Young was a visionary whose faith fueled his hope and inspired his creation of the HOPE essential oil formula. His legacy continues to resonate. Similarly, the world mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk, a passionate advocate who visited countless college campuses, speaking on individual freedoms and the importance of hope in shaping a meaningful life. Like Jesus, he used parables to open hearts and minds, encouraging people to harness their unique strengths for personal fulfillment and national pride. His impact, particularly on youth, has left the country in a reflective "pause," as a quiet revolution of hope takes root.

Addressing Mail and Shipping Issues

I want to highlight a practical issue regarding Young Living's mailing system. Currently, the shipping address listed in the Young Living warehouse system does not sync with the corporate office's database. Even if you update your address on the membership website, the corporate system may retain the old address, causing mail sent by members or myself to be returned. I urge you to review this discrepancy and ensure the YLEO website reflects accurate address information for seamless communication.

Updates on Tariffs and the Golden Dome Project

The United States and Canada have made progress in trade negotiations, with Canada agreeing to drop most tariffs on American goods, and the U.S. reciprocating. Meanwhile, a bold new initiative, the Golden Dome project, aims to cover the United States. Canada has expressed interest in participating, and negotiations are ongoing to finalize the details. Announcements will likely follow as discussions progress.

Changes in International Postal Taxes

Be aware that Europe, India, Britain, and Canada have introduced new postal taxes on items valued over $100 sent to the United States. These taxes, imposed by foreign governments, create challenges for individuals and businesses due to additional paperwork at post offices. Young Living is not responsible for these charges. I encourage you to voice concerns about these policies, as collective action may drive change.

Maximizing Essential Rewards for the Holidays

Now is the perfect time for Essential Rewards members to check their points for Christmas gift purchases. With points, you can get products for free, paying only for shipping. Remember that Essential Rewards points have an expiration date, so act soon to make the most of your rewards.

The Power of Young Living Essential Oils

Young Living’s organic essential oils, distilled in stainless steel vats (never aluminum), are crafted from roots, resins, leaves, stems, flowers, and trees. These precious drops are most effective when massaged into the skin or inhaled to engage the brain’s limbic system, enhancing your daily life. My Labrador, Jhana, loves them too—he’s the best-smelling dog at the park!

Essentially Yours,
