More details on Magnesium Gel:

Debra Robinson, maker of the magnesium gel, is a Thai Massage Therapist, health consultant, writer, and more. She has extensive experience in assisting people in their healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. I am one of those people. I can confidently say I would not be where I am today without her. I met her after tragedies and difficulties in my family caused so much stress that at age 24, I was stuck in a bent position from severe back pain. She had me walking normally after one session. One day, we were talking and she said, “You are depressed.” I laughed and said that this is the best I had ever felt. She told me to quit smiling and I did and burst into tears. She gently said, “You don’t know what its like to feel good yet. Use this magnesium gel twice day all over like lotion with no questions asked. We’ll talk about it in a few months after you build your levels up.” She had helped me enough that I knew to listen. After a few months, I was sleeping much better, had much less anxiety and the heaviness that I had been accustomed to feeling was lifting. Also, my 10-year battle with trying not to smoke cigarettes was gone. That was 13 years ago. I have used it almost every day since. I still don’t smoke and when I have anxiety, it's for a reason instead of a lingering, underlying presence that I try to live around.

We lose magnesium through stress: physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, etc. Because our soil has been stripped, we don’t get enough in our diet anymore. I wanted to include Debra’s magnesium gel because it is one of the tools that has helped me. With this time of year and the holidays, I know people struggle even more with anxiety, depression, etc. We also become more aware of arthritis and other pains that we tend to overlook in warmer months. Magnesium gel helps with all of this and more! Check out her website for more information: www.magnesiumshoppe.com

More details on Forget Me Not Farm:

Jennifer Davis of Forget Me Not Farm is a yoga instructor, homeschool co-op organizer and teacher, a homeschool mom and more. She and her husband, Sean, started Forget Me Not Farm in Paris, KY, which is an umbrella for their many ventures in learning, creating, and sharing. Each of the gift boxes contain at least one item from her. I've known Jennifer for several years now, and she is constantly learning and teaching. She brings so much enthusiasm and care to each endeavor that she takes on. You will feel that in all the details of these products.

She is making our candles, teas, and honey. She hand-pours the candles with organic soy wax, uses wooden wicks and only essential oils for scenting. The teas are all made in small batches with organic and ethically sourced ingredients with health and wellness in mind. There are two tea combinations: Restful Tea Blend and Immune Support Tea Blend. Each gift box that has tea will also come with a few tea bags to put the tea in. She and her husband also have bees, and there is a limited supply of honey available. They come in the cutest containers!

When I'm setting the scene to journal, I've found that something as simple as a hot beverage and candle lift my mood and ground me. It turns the ordinary into something sacred and special. It is another signal to myself that I'm setting aside this time to reflect. It helps me be more intentional in quieting down and turning inward. Jennifer's tea blends and candles are perfect for doing just that.
