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 .
