In 2015 a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck the

Dolakha district in northeastern Nepal. It completely

decimated the isolated mountain village of Yarsa. When

Young Living Founder D. Gary Young visited Nepal in

2016—long after the news headlines had moved on—he

saw the destruction firsthand, and he knew Young Living

could help.

This tiny, resilient village is still undergoing

reconstruction. In October and December of 2017, the

Young Living Foundation held two service trips to Nepal,

and members helped rebuild the homes of 11 families

in Yarsa. In total, there are now 50 completed homes in

the village, along with a new primary school! The Young

Living Academy, Yarsa Primary School is the second

Young Living Academy in the world. The Foundation’s

plan is to continue construction until every one of the

112 homes in the village is completely rebuilt.

Members came from all over the world—the United

States, Canada, Australia, and Japan—to help with the

rebuilding efforts. They were touched as villagers met

them with flower leis, handmade from marigold flowers,

to express their gratitude for all the hard work that has

been put into their village. While they didn’t exchange

many words, it was a moment that those members will

always remember.

Aleena Stephens, a Diamond leader from Australia,

said, “Seeing these people, who basically have nothing,

smiling and giving us these beautiful flower necklaces to

wear was a really overwhelming experience.”

Rebuilding the homes is no easy task. Members cut,

cleaned, hauled, and laid the bricks, scaling up and

down hills.

NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS

Hello, my friends. This is a special time, as we

anticipate the excitement of what is to come in

the new year.

Young Living is growing so fast that I find

myself engulfed in thoughts of the need for

more farms to grow the plants to produce the

oils that you are needing.

It is rewarding to know that so many people

are catching the vision, not only in the discovery

of their own wellness and success but also in

bringing our message to so many people who

are looking for answers and waiting to cross

the path of someone who can enlighten them

with something new that will help them with

their needs.

The technical world has become very

sophisticated in the enhancement of oils with

synthetic compounds that increase the volume

and sweeten the natural aroma, enabling them

to be sold for a much lower price. For those

of us who understand this, we must educate

others about the purity of oils and why that is

so important.

We are in the process of closing on several

thousand acres of land, where we will grow

crops to produce oils that are in higher

demand and increase our einkorn acreage.

We have already moved onto the land and

are preparing it for seeding and are going to

build our own flour mill, where only einkorn will

be de-husked and milled. We will not import

einkorn from France anymore, enabling us to

lower the price.

So many new things are coming to Young

Living—increased farming, new products, and

member activities. We look forward to seeing

you at a farm, convention, or wherever your

Young Living business takes you.

I thank you for your prayers and support and

look forward to a healthy and productive new

year. May you all be blessed as you grow your

business, support your family, and help those

in need.

Mary and I send our love with gratefulness

in our hearts for the blessings we have and for

the joy of so many friends we have because of

Young Living.

May you have a wonderful new year!

The new year is officially here, and we want to help

you accomplish your New Year’s resolutions. While

many New Year’s resolutions are often forgotten by

February, the Slique in 60 Challenge is designed to

help you make achievable and trackable goals. Plus,

with added team support and awesome prizes, you’ll

be able to find the motivation to keep going. Last year,

we had over 6,000 participants in the 2017 Slique in 60

Challenge, and we want to make 2018 the best year

yet! Do you want to learn how to make the most of the

Slique in 60 Challenge? We have a few suggestions to

help get you started.

What is the Slique in 60 Challenge?Before we get into more details, here’s some helpful

information about the Slique in 60 Challenge, which is

a competition for members who want to add healthier

habits to their life with help from our Slique products.

Contestants use Slique products to supplement their

healthy diets, incorporate exercise into their routines,

and track their progress to earn some great prizes.

The competition consists of two 60-day phases. Phase

1 registration ended on January 1. If you registered,

congrats; but if it slipped your mind, don’t fret. You can

still follow along and register for phase 2 in February.

How do I start the Slique in 60 Challenge?First things first, you’ll need a benchmark of your

weight and body measurements, so you can track your

progress. Make sure to wear the same tight-fitting

clothing each time you weigh yourself and take your

measurements. We have created a helpful tool to help

you document your transformation, which is available

on the Slique in 60 Contest web page.

It’s also important to start off with a clean slate.

We suggest eliminating junk food from your pantry

and replacing that junk food with Slique products.

Also, schedule a non-negotiable time to get in your

workouts—just remember to consult your health care

provider before beginning a new fitness routine.

Once you register for the contest, make sure to join

the “Slique in 60 Contest 2018” Facebook group for

added support.

What are the prizes for the Slique in 60 Challenge?All participants who register, submit their results at

the end of the phase, and purchase a Slique kit each

month of the challenge will receive a Slique in 60 shirt,

as well as a limited-edition Slique in 60 pin.

Last October we had our first-ever global

Live Your Passion Rally (LYPR). We had

especially strong showings from the United

States, Canada, and Europe. Around the

world, we had more than 2,000 rallies and

more than 100,000 attendees in homes, hotels,

and online meetings. It was a huge success,

and we’re excited to start 2018 with an even

bigger event.

The LYPR on January 13 will be an

international celebration! You can feel the

excitement building throughout the globe

as members are realizing the impact of these

rallies in business growth and community

focus. If you haven’t registered to host or

attend an event, visit YoungLiving.com. If you

want to host an event, be sure to register

before January 8 at 5 p.m., MT.

Once you’re set up and ready to go, we’d

like to share three helpful tips for hosting a

successful LYPR:

1. Be creative to increase attendance

Plan a giveaway, DIY project, or additional

trainings for your event to increase attendance.

If you need some ideas to spark your creativity,

check out YoungLiving.com/blog!

2. Check out the location ahead of timeIf you plan on renting space for your event,

ask if you can access the location a day or

two ahead of time. That way you can test the

equipment and plan your setup. It never hurts

to get a head start to help take some of the

stress off the actual day of the event.

3. Get social!Encourage your attendees to take pictures

or videos of your event and use the global

hashtag #YLUnites. Your attendees will be

thrilled to be a part of the bigger international

community. You can also use the pictures and

videos to encourage others to participate in

future events.

We’re so excited for you to join us on January

13. Make sure to register to either attend or

host soon at YoungLiving.com!

Although the days were long, they knew it was for a greater

purpose and found joy with every brick placed.

“The people have had an impact on me, and I hope we have

had a similar impact on them as we helped rebuild their village,”

said David Hawley, a member from Texas. “Seeing people who

live in rather unimaginable circumstances, yet continue to thrive

and be happy, warm, and welcoming, is an amazing experience

that anyone would benefit from.”

The Young Living Foundation would like to express its

gratitude to those who served in Nepal. The Foundation would

also like to thank its donors for their generous and timely

contributions to the Rebuild Nepal project.

While January can seem bleak after the

holidays and before the month of love, we

have something that will brighten even

the darkest winter day: The Desert Mist™

Ultrasonic Diffuser.

About a year ago, we asked members

what they really wanted in a diffuser. The

Desert Mist Diffuser is custom-made based

on the results of that survey. It offers longer

run times; a stylish, home décor-friendly

design; and functionality at a great price.

Our favorite winter blends for the Desert Mist:• January blues got you feeling down?

Diffuse 6 drops of Thieves® with 5

drops of Citrus Fresh™ for a special

brightening aroma.

• Are you ready for a winter's nap?

Create a relaxing atmosphere by

diffusing 5 drops of Lavender, 4 drops

of Cedarwood, and 2 drops of Thieves.

• There’s something magical about

a winter romance! If you and your

special someone are snowbound, try

diffusing 3 drops of Rosemary, 3 drops

of Peppermint, 2 drops of Eucalyptus,

and 2 drops of Lavender.

Sylvie Shirazi is the recipe developer, food photographer, and real food lover behind GourmandeInTheKitchen.com.

YO U N G L I V I N G A U S T R A L I ARegion Update

After hosting the Australian Symposium this past May—and interacting

with so many Diamonds who attended the Diamond Retreat at that time—

Young Living Australia saw steady month-to-month growth the rest of the

year. The dynamic symposium energized local members and the Australia

corporate team with presentations from Diamonds, the U.S. executive team,

and professional speakers; 19 new product launches; and two product expo

days. With this renewed spirit, the market ended the year with a 32 percent

growth rate—an amazing accomplishment in the market’s 18th year!

Another factor in the region’s exciting growth was the launch of 30 new

products this year, including nine new Essential Rewards kits and three

new starter kits. In addition to these new products, Young Living Australia

launched Savvy Minerals by Young Living™ with a whirlwind tour to five cities

in the region. The tour—which reached over 2,000 people and featured

U.S. Diamond leader Melissa Poepping as keynote speaker—exemplified

the market’s excitement for the new line, and a staggering 49 percent of

attendees made Savvy Minerals purchases averaging $350 AUD per person.

This exciting success comes thanks to the hard work of so many people,

including the region’s amazing leaders. To celebrate and encourage

members in the area, the market hosted a business-building promotion with

an incentive trip to Hawaii. In September, 44 qualifying members visited

Kona Sandalwood Reforestation Project in Big Island, Hawaii, where they

relaxed and learned about the farm’s dedication to reforestation initiatives

and its passion for Young Living.

With so many developments for the market, including the region’s third

Diamond qualifying in September and the second Crown Diamond in

November, this region continues to help Young Living in its efforts to take

essential oils to every home in the world. We can’t wait to see where the new

year takes Young Living Australia!

When Young Living updated the Seed to Seal program to highlight the three pillars of Sourcing, Science, and Standards, we did so to share the demanding standards that go into providing you every pristine drop of essential oil you enjoy. On our recent episode of the Drop of Inspiration podcast, we spoke with General Counsel and Chief Legal and Compliance Officer Matt French about Young Living’s standards that go far beyond the standard.

Under the Standards pillar, you’ll find an exhaustive compliance program. Matt explains more on the podcast, “The Standards pillar encapsulates the desire to and commitment to follow through on legal sourcing and compliant sourcing all throughout the world in everything we do.”

The standards that guide our Seed to Seal program lead the industry, and we intend to keep it that way. Setting the pace for ethical and green practices has an impact that extends far beyond bringing your family the highest quality essential oils. As Matt offered, “We want to do it right because we abide by the laws and we care about what governments think. I think being that first company out there that’s doing it the right way, we set the trend. And that means in the future, the whole world will be better for it.”

Our Standards pillar, like the Sourcing and Science pillars that bolster our Seed to Seal program, is a commitment to anyone who encounters our products that we’ve gone above and beyond. “Our real heartbeat is to protect the earth and to protect products that we want to get into people’s homes,” said Matt. “We know that by sourcing compliantly, a lot of the laws are set up to make sure the plants are still there in the future and that it’s done right.”

Learn more about Young Living’s Standards and the rest of our Seed to Seal program by listening to the “Standards that Set Us Apart” episode at YoungLiving.com/Podcast.
