new diamonds Eric and Gale attended Purdue University together. It was there that Eric received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Gale was pursing her degree in Psychology when she felt the need to make some life changes and stay home to raise her children. All seven of the Sandgren’s children are now grown and happily raising families of their own. Eric is very humble, but Gale shares that he is a certified genius and not many people know it. Eric’s degree and intelligence have given them the luxury of job security throughout the years and provided them with many amazing opportunities throughout the United States. While living, temporarily, in Las Vegas, Gale was introduced to essential oils by Lori Davis. The oils resonated immediately with Gale because of her holistic background, but she fought against the dōTERRA opportunity. She had just sent her last child off to college and wasn’t looking for something that resembled more work. Looking back at the internal conflict she faced, Gale couldn’t be happier she decided to embrace the dōTERRA opportunity. “Aside from raising my children, I couldn’t imagine anything better for me to be doing with my life. dōTERRA has allowed me to reach outside my once small sphere of influence and connect with friends all around the world,” Gale says. The Sandgrens in Little Rock, Arkansas The Sandgrens have always viewed education as a greater source of power in one’s life. dōTERRA has allowed Gale the opportunity to become more educated in an area of learning she is very passionate about. Gale states, “I love learning and sharing what dōTERRA can do for each of us and hearing other people’s incredible experiences with the products. It is just endless what these products have done for people.” Gale believes dōTERRA is changing people’s lives not just today, but for generations to come. “Being a part of something with this much impact is meaningful beyond description,” Gale explains. She recognizes that sharing dōTERRA definitely takes work, but “everything worth having in life is worth working for.” “You can do it,” Gale encourages. “If you want to reach your highest potential in life and in dōTERRA, simply never give up on yourself. Set goals that are important to you and get to work. Be consistent and don’t be afraid to make yourself available for every opportunity. Most importantly, embrace all that is good in life, because life is meant to be enjoyed.” A DIAMO RR S ND dōTE Gale doesn’t feel dōTERRA is as much of a business for her, as it is a vehicle for providing service to others. “I love when someone opens their very first bottle of an essential oil,” Gale says. “They smell it, try it, and can’t hide the surprise on their face. I know that something good has just happened in their life.” This repeated experience is very rewarding and humbling to Gale. NEW!
