Hey y'all. 

So this post is a little different. 

I've had a lot going on in my personal life lately and I thought about sharing it with you guys, but I wasn't sure I should until this past weekend. 

This is my space for you to join me. This is a place for us to come together. And so I knew I had to share what was going on.

So where do I start? 

My father-in-law recently had a heart catherization and stint placement after learning that he had had a heart attack one Sunday morning. After lots of testing it was obvious that he was on course to have another heart attack if action wasn't taken. 

There was damage done to the heart, but he is on medications to help strengthen his heart and keep the stint open. He is at home and resting. Taking some much needed time off to let his body heal. And I'm happy to report that he is feeling much better. 

Then there's my mom, Tammie. 

I won't go into all the details here because you can actually follow her story...

First, let me welcome you to my new blog. I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally have this up and running. It’s been something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but once you get to know me you might understand why it’s taken a little longer than expected.

For those of you who are new around here, my name is Alisha. I have been married for 18 years (yes, I had to double check with the husband to make sure I got it right-ha) and we have seven kids one of which is special needs: 14, 12, 9, 7, 6, 3 and 2. 

Life can be pretty crazy around our house. I mean, it kind of has to be with seven kids, right?

We call Browns Summit, NC home. And not only do we have a whole bunch of kids, but we also have a whole bunch of animals too. Told you I was crazy, I mean IT was crazy. (Haha)

But truthfully, I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is my tribe and I love our crazy life.

I never set out to become a doTERRA advocate, but after our son Joel was born...
