Wow, I am running low on many of my essential oils. It seems that the ones I do not use frequently always run out at the same time. So here is a list, a to-do list of sorts, of essential oils to replenish. If anyone has any suggestions for distributors other than my usual sources, give me a shout and I will order some samples.

Most often time is seen as aging - wrinkled skin and tired heart. If we look at time as we do Sandalwood, we see that time matures us, molds us into unique and interesting characteristics.
Santalum Album (Sandalwood) is in my opinion the most unique essential oil that exists. Its componenets gain curiousity from medical minds and allows the mind to exist an exstasy with those in other professions.
I have recently been able to add to my sandalwood collection a 2002 Vintage, Wild Crafted, Steam distilled from heartwood Santalum Album. I do have a bottle of this unreplacable oil that I will cherish and use for years to come. My new aquisition will have greater forethought. This bottle may be passed on to a family member or friend in the later years.
We should all take some time and allow ourselves to feel like this particular essential oil, and disregard our learned sense of age.

1 Take the carrier and multiply by the percentage you would want to use. Example: 5 lb of carrier oil - needing to add 2% of an essential oil, convert 5 lbs to 80 oz ( 5lbs x 16oz = 80 oz) and then multiply 80 oz by .02 (2%) which gives you 1.6 oz. Alternatively: you can multiply oz x 30 to get ml (or cc). So 1.6 oz x 30 = 48 ml or 48 cc.
2 Temperature and Storage
Keep caps tightly closed when not in use.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
Avoid exposure to high heat and light for prolonged periods.
Store at normal room temperature.
Take a periodic (now is good) inventory of your oils and rotate and use what is getting older.
Use your oils! It isn’t the one who dies with the most oils that wins, it’s the one who uses the most oils that lives.

I was nonchalantly entering my apartment.. from three ends of the room I hear shivering beeps and warning lights... I investigated further,
and everything looked all right. I was wrong - the up-step conversion was fooling my common sense. I went to turn on a light and it slowly came forth from a dull fade until a half working night lamp.
The unimportant power segment of my apartment I noticed was down, the inverters were keeping my servers and network alive.
My mother lives just a couple blocks down, so I gave her a call to see if anything strange was going on down the street.. (yes, she DOES live that close - we get along pretty good).
"Andy, I have to call you back, the power poll just exploded and is on fire - I am calling the fire department". O.K. - still not knowing exactly what was going on, still getting a readout of 40 volts comeing through the lines.
Though as she said, the sun sky brightened even lighter with white flashes and a firey top of a pole.
The electric then went out completely and batteries were holding this place together. After a while, the battery back-ups died, and I, with half of the south side of this city were without heat and electricity.
Four hours later, and just minutes before starting this post (after making sure my network was in order) there was light, I turned off my flashlight, and was honestly disappointed as during this time I was enjoying a drop of my 2007 Tamil Santalum Album infused to my body.
Back to earth, and the hot hot indoors with a cold cold outdoor environment - these computers will start to generate once more...
