Before you start thinking this is Suzette writing…stop! And let me introduce myself. I’m Tricia and am pleased to be a contributing writer on For the Love of Lavender. I’m working with Suzette planning a bunch of great things for the Young Living Lavender Farm in 2008 and beyond.
My first day on the job was last Wednesday and Suzette already has my head spinning with talk of convention’s farm day, the Lavender Festival, spring and fall events, lavender products, future blog posts, and much more! So even though it is still the first part of January I see the year just flying by and I’m so excited.
Working at the Lavender Farm
I plan on working at the lavender farm at least one day a week and have already been down there to see the visitor’s center and become acquainted with the farm staff. Some of you may have seen the farm in full bloom in the summer, and I assure you that the lavender farm is just as breathtaking after a snowstorm in winter; it looks just like a Christmas card. I knew I was working at a truly special place when I met Christa, the lavender farm’s horse trainer. She smelled so wonderful and said she was working on the horses, rubbing them down with some essential oils so they will stay healthy during these cold months. I am excited to be working at a place that really takes care of their people—and their animals! The YL Lavender Farm has such a great mission, and I’m excited to be a part of it.
Working with Suzette has been wonderful so far; in fact, the first thing she asked me to do on the blog was announce the winner of the prize for the “Fabulous Fitness for the New Year” promotion. What a great assignment!
Announcing the WinnerI want to explain a bit about the rules and how we chose a winner. All you had to do to be entered to win was comment on the “Fabulous Fitness for the New Year” post by Sunday, January 6 or e-mail webinfo@youngliving.com. Because we were moderating comments, meaning that the comments had to go though us before they were posted on the blog, it may look like some were posted after the deadline, but I assure you that 26 people commented or sent us an e-mail on Sunday or before and therefore they were all entered to win. (And can I just say that I loved the comments! What great ideas. Thanks to all!) Each comment was assigned a number (the first comment being one, the second being two, etc.). We then went to random.org and had them randomly pick a number between 1 and 26…and a winner was selected!
So congratulations to Katrina. We will be contacting you shortly!
Remember to keep reading as we will be conducting more contests and asking for more great tips in the future. You never know when, so check back often.
