Angel:  Hey, Dianne, Christos Anesti and Happy Memorial Day! I am particularly thinking of our dad, Alexander Tzouras, a.k.a. Alexander the Great, and all our male relatives from “The Greatest Generation” as well as our cousin Michael who died in Vietnam at the tender age of 19…

Di:  Alithos Anesti, and may the memory of all veterans be eternal.

Angel:  Indeed! Well, you know that during May, Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oil blend, Sacred Mountain, is 10% off! Its name makes me think of Mount Athos as well as our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, for starters! I love the Sermon on the Mount, especially the Beatitudes and the “Consider the lilies of the field…” portion when Jesus tells us to trust in His goodness and not give any thought for tomorrow.  “Seize the day” and “Don’t worry, be happy” are both song titles that help us to keep our focus! (Laughs.)

Di: Yes, yet again you relate everything to songs, my musical sister!  What’s in this beautiful blend?

Angel:  Ah, Sacred Mountain (#3414) is a blend of essential oils from three evergreen trees (Spruce, Fir and Cedarwood) and from the flower of the tropical Ylang Ylang tree.

Di:  Sounds lovely and refreshingly soothing!

Angel:  It is! And there are still a few days left in which to take part in this special!  The blend of Sacred Mountain promotes feelings of strength, grounding and protection, and evokes the feelings of sanctity found in the mountains! And I’m thinking of the woods, once again as in Rose City, Michigan, the location of our Metropolis summer camp, the first and oldest Orthodox camp in the country! Remember “Campessence?”

Di:  Of course, that’s your nickname for Evergreen Essence, another beautiful blend.

Angel:  Say, sister, many years to you and all our readers who recently celebrated their name day in honor of Saints Constantine and Helen.

Di (Konstantina):  Thanks, Angeliki, and here’s a very short passage to think about from the Sayings of the Desert Fathers.

            Amma Syncletica said, ‘There are many who live in the mountains and behave as

if they were in the town, and they are wasting their time.  It is possible to be a solitary in one’s mind while living in a crowd, and it is possible for one who is a solitary to live in the crowd of one’s own thoughts.’

Angel:  Now that’s food for thought!

Di:  Another thing before we close.  Young Living is offering a free Essential Seven Kit with orders of at least 195 PV until the end of May or while supplies last.  That kit was in my very first order, and it’s an excellent way to become familiar with these healthful oils.

Angel: Before we end today’s Eleos Blog, let’s remind our readers that the very best way to learn about the oils is through personal experience----just use them!

Di:  Remember, one sniff is worth a thousand words.

Angel:  God’s garden gifts are best when shared.

Di:  Amen to that, and many blessings to all!
