A Walk THROUGH THE Mud
S tanding at the JFK airport with 100
dollars to her name, eighteen-yearold Sandra Pascal was ready to start over. After leaving a dysfunctional home, she wanted to be a part of something meaningful and find a way to give to others. She was committed to a life that was greater than what she had.
A couple years later, Sandra was working for a bank, doing what she
loved. She dreamed that one day she would end up in the stock market, and she put her efforts toward that dream. However, in an unforeseen turn of events, she was handcuffed and taken to jail for a crime she did not commit. Though the charges were dropped, her record expunged, and she was completely innocent, the feeling of worthlessness burned inside her. She says,“ I had given up. I felt that I didn’ t deserve to be happy. I would look in the mirror, and I didn’ t see my uniqueness. All I saw was negativity, sadness, and pity.‘ Why me?’ I kept asking myself.”
These thoughts caused her to fall into a place of darkness for several years, when finally, a little light made its way into her life. Her boss at her real estate office reached out to her and gave her the opportunity to start over again, and she took it. From then on, she began to change, and she dove into selfdevelopment. She says,“ Once I started loving and believing in myself, and got out of my pity party, I created a new story. I began a successful career in real estate. I married Mr. Magnificent, and we have three beautiful children. Then dōTERRA came into my life.”
Sandra had been using essential oils since she was a child, but when she compared her essential oils to dōTERRA oils, she noticed a big difference. Two days after Sandra’ s dōTERRA experience, Beth Philips, a Wellness Advocate, came to teach an essential oils class near Sandra’ s house, and Sandra was amazed with Beth’ s positivity and excitement for the oils. That night, Sandra asked about the business opportunity and enrolled shortly after.
