“But as Bill Kristol and I and thousands of others have come to realize, the only way to be heard through the earmuffs of incumbency is with focused bluntness:

Raindrop Technique

February 1, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

This morning I gave my husband Paul a Raindrop Massage. This is an essential oil technique that gives a great overall boost to the person giving the massage and the person receiving. Here are some clips sharing a quick overview of how the massage is done:

The Raindrop Technique Kit is available from my Young Living Web Site:
Retail: $117.76 USD I have been a distributor for Young Living since 1996, and love to share the oils with family and friends.

I believe it is very strengthening to a marriage to learn to touch in a non sexual way. Paul and I taught a variety of massage techniques to the couples who took our Childbirth Class, for all of the years we taught the Bradley Method. These relaxation techniques are the key to natural childbirth. Paul gave me a three day back massage during my marathon VBAC labor with Jeff. He was the reason I was able to have a Vaginal Birth after a Cesarean, we did that marathon together, and today, giving him an occasional raindrop really helps to convey the love I feel for him in my heart.
I have also used infant massage techniques to help my babes relax, and it was just a natural progression for us to gradually learn how to use the essential oils in our day to day life and master certain techniques, like the raindrop therapy, to help us achieve wellness. My children regularly ask for “raindrops” for a variety of issues, and I always keep the oils on hand.

Here is a short clip from the Raindrop DVD that comes with the kit. It is an introduction by Gary Young who is the founder of Young Living Essential Oils and explains how he developed the technique.

Reverse Osmosis for perfectly clean taste!

February 1, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

Reverse Osmosis Water Purification is the water cleansing system our family has used for many years.
We also have a Whole House system that we installed in our home back in 1996 when we first purchased our home. So, our drinking water has two levels of cleaning before we take it into our bodies. I believe clean water is one of the most important steps to holistic living.
Here are the links for purchasing Water Purification Products:
Reverse Osmosis: Go Here
For years we used a counter top System while we lived in an apartment in Boulder. It is a very affordable unit that does a great job of cleansing the water of a variety of contaminents.
Go Here for purchase.
Please contact me by email if you are interested in a whole house water cleansing system.

5th Grade Band Concert. Andy learns to play the Trombone

February 1, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

Andy had his first concert after four months of playing the trombone. We thought he did really well, and loved hearing the whole concert.
Reminded me of Michelles first orchestra concert, and Allisons first choir concert, and Jeff’s first band concert. There is something magical about children making music.
Jeff played in his jazz band this year on the trumpet, and it was amazing the progress he has made in just two short years of play.
Here is a quick video clip. (Andy is the trombone player on the right)

Paul took this picture of Ben while we were waiting for the concert to begin.

And not to be outdone, Ben demanded that we hand him the camera so he could take a few shots. He took this picture of Paul and I:
