THE
NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS
Volume 3.3 March 2013
C’mon, It’s Time to Plant! Do Young Living Like Never Before
We are so excited for the future of Young Living and are awed by the way this year is beginning! December was our highest sales month in history, and January was a “blazing” month of success and excitement. I hope you are feeling how much you are a part of this giant rolling tide of growth, as we affirm our place as the World Leader in Essential Oils®. Last year was monumentally successful. Because of your efforts and our unmatched products, we finished 2012 with the highest revenue quarter in our history. It was the most exhilarating and rewarding year of transformation. Never in the history of MLM has a company changed its marketing program and achieved a record year for growth. You are all part of that. You made it happen. We express our thanks and gratitude to all of you for diving into our new compensation plan and making such a smooth transition. Many inactive distributors are coming back into activity, and many who have not previously taught the plan are teaching others in their organizations. It is truly rewarding to see the growth, which we attribute to a positive attitude and commitment. Your potential for personal and business growth has never been higher. Because of our recent success, we are accelerating our global expansion. This year Young Living will officially open in Canada, Hong Kong, and Germany. Plan to attend, if possible. As Young Living grows, I urge you to find ways to grow your business. Maybe one of these new regions will be an exciting new realm for you. Our goals for Young Living are high, and you are the ones to make it happen. BELIEVE in that TRANSFORMATION and help make this the greatest year in our history!
Young Living 2013 Winter Harvest participants Chris and Lisa Taylor, Brenda and Scott Schuler, Lula Schiller, Shelley and Kelly O’Hara, and Robyn and Randy Murrah took advantage of the tremendous opportunities the harvest experience brings to all who attend.
Robyn and Randy Murrah
Gold “I attended the Winter Harvest for the first time this year at the urging of Scott and Brenda Schuler. Frankly, I wasn’t too thrilled with the idea but thought it would be a good experience for my wife. Turns out, it was a very impactful experience for me. “Not only did I make several new friends, but I also learned a tremendous amount about Young Living, its leaders, and myself. I gained a much greater respect for the company and for what goes into these little bottles of oil. “Part of the experience of the harvest is having the opportunity to participate in any aspect of the process that may appeal to you. It enables you to be a part of something bigger; an opportunity to help gain a new perspective and understanding for what is involved in producing our oils. It is something impossible to understand until you’ve experienced it.”
Margaret Van
Star “I really had no idea what the Winter Harvest was all about, but because I was introduced to essential oils a short while ago, I thought it would be a tremendous learning experience. Little did I know what an overwhelming, life-changing experience it would be! To be able to see and participate firsthand in how the oils are produced and to be part of the process from start to finish is something I will never forget. “I truly urge everyone to participate in this wonderful experience.”

Brenda and Scott Schuler
Crown Diamond “The combination of the beautiful mountains, aroma of the blue spruce, quality time to connect and learn from fellow distributors and Gary and Mary Young creates a magical experience that everyone should have. Wow! “Everyone who went with us this year, including three couples, went home with a new respect for Young Living and our oils. Brenda and I always talk about the importance of being a product of the product, and attending the harvest adds a new dimension that allows us to understand the products and processes in another way.”
Chris and Lisa Taylor
Silver “This was the first year we attended the Winter Harvest, and it will not be the last. If I had to describe the harvest, I would call it an educational opportunity every distributor should have. “The harvest also opened my eyes to so much about Young Living. I appreciate Gary on a whole new level; his desire, dedication, drive, and passion are talked about often, but until you work with him for a week, you truly don’t understand what he does for all of us. “It is really hard to put this experience into words, but it is life changing, and I encourage everyone to come to a harvest for this experience.” THE
Founder’s Message
As we gear up for the 2013 Spring Planting in late April at the Highland Flats and St. Maries farms, let’s look back on what you had to say about Young Living harvests.

AS YOUNG LIVING researchers were investigating potential ingredients for the new NingXia Red formula, they came across an exciting ingredient: grape seed extract. Grape seed extract (GSE) is derived from whole grape seeds, is Kosher and Halal approved, and is also one of the largest natural depositories of polyphenols. NingXia Red utilizes a premium GSE that is standardized to a minimum 90 percent total polyphenols and is shown in studies to be superior to other GSE. This structurally unique, water-soluble GSE has been selectively extracted to include a higher percentage of lower molecular weight polyphenols, which improves absorption and bioavailability. Its patented, water-based extraction process also ensures that the final ingredient remains chemical free. This powerhouse ingredient boosts NingXia Red’s ORAC score, adds polyphenols, and allowed for Kosher and Halal certification. When combined with essential oils and the wolfberry superfruit, GSE plays an important roll in NingXia Red’s promise to deliver a delicious, whole-body nutrient infusion for everyone to enjoy.
