It’s supposed to be the “most wonderful time of the year” but sadly… it’s not. If you are dealing with the pain of betrayal, the holiday season feels anything but merry and bright. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate this season with grace and hope. You may find it hard to walk in the beauty …

Oil That Breaks the Yoke of Pain
Guest Blog written by Andrea Jones, of Abundant Wellness with Andrea LLC “I will take the crushing and turn it into oil that breaks the yoke.” I’ve been sitting on this encounter for a while.
