Sharon's 'Why?'
Have you ever found yourself questioning what life is all about? Have you ever felt anxious, scared, lost, alone, vulnerable, sad, upset, miserable, confused, burnt out and / or so overwhelmed by everything that you couldn’t see a way out? That was me and my life in a nutshell for a period of time until a few years ago.

Magic Earth Ceremonial Cacao
This 100% organic ceremonial cacao is a high vibrational plant medicine which is experienced as a comforting and delicious drink.
There are two types and both are from 100% indigenous farms where they are grown, harvested, fermented, toasted and ground to a paste with the intention it is used for sacred purposes according to tradition. The Peruvian by a local Quechan family from a sacred Cusco Valley. The Guatemalan is 100% Mayan owned family farm in San Marcos and is made by the Ruku’x’Ulew women’s collective.
Every purchase of this cacao supports these indigenous families and collective and the continuation of their artisanal craft.
Drink intentionally as a daily healthy habit ritual and / or in ceremony alone or with others. Click through to read more about the health benefits, to purchase and to join one of my upcoming group ceremonies.

About doTERRA
Here at Essential Living by Sharon, we firmly align with doTERRA’s ethos of wellness, healing and hope.
Founded in 2008, doTERRA was built on the mission of sharing high-quality essential oils with the world. Having seen for themselves the incredible benefits that can be had from using these precious resources, a group of health-care and business professionals set out to make this mission a reality. They formed a company and named it doTERRA, a Latin derivative meaning “Gift of the Earth.”

We are proud to partner with doTERRA in educating about and selling their products as we believe they exercise incredible sustainability practices which we align with:
doTERRA believes that we are all stewards of the Earth. They are committed to conservation, restoration, community development, and wise use.
doTERRA orders are packed in new sustainable shipping solutions which help reduce cardboard usage and reduce plastic waste.
Our Core Business Values
These are the principles, born from our heart, that guide everything we do.
Vulnerability
We know it takes courage to be vulnerable and we applaud it as it creates trust, empathy, compassion, understanding and powerful, wholehearted human connections which are at the core of healing and transforming lives and the planet.
Support
In our commitment to the support of our customers, business leaders and to our ambitious cause, we know we are empowered with everything we need for the journey and we know we can’t walk it alone. We lean on and gratefully receive the support, input, creativity, knowledge and skillset of others to help grow, improve and achieve.
Freedom
We intentionally cultivate flexibility in how we live and work through movement, humility, letting go and embracing change, to create space and freedom to grow, expand and thrive in our fullest expression. We embrace any arising challenges as opportunities for discovery, growth and expansion. We value financial, time and personal freedom for the beneficial impact to ourselves and others in achieving high quality living and experiences.
Community
In today’s world of increasing isolation and separation, never has community connection been so important. While we encourage self-acceptance, self-dependence and self-responsibility, we also value how community unites us, gives us a sense of belonging, being welcomed, acknowledged and loved. We strive to build strong, non-judgemental and compassionate customer and business communities where we feel connected, valued, supported and safe. We believe strong communities create powerful impact and influence and contribute to improving lives.
Ambition
Because we know and care, we are passionate about creating a significant impact, making a difference and leaving a legacy, for our own family and millions of others. Guided by our heart, we are prepared to take risks with confidence and unwavering faith. We lean on our ‘why?’ and values in times of challenge. We value and strive for excellence in everything we create and do, all the while maintaining high ethical standards and integrity in our dealings with competitors, customers, partners and each other.
Fun
Because this all sounds like very serious and grown up stuff we like to give our purpose a little tickle every now and again to remind us to connect with our inner child in being lighthearted, to have fun and to celebrate the big and small wins. Whether in times of challenge or triumph, we love to celebrate and have gratitude for ourselves, for others for our achievements and for everything life brings our way. We love to have fun when working too and may squeal frequently when our creations excite us.
