Frances’s Story…

Often in classes I tell the story of my move to Singapore . . . In 2002 I met some people from Singapore while at a seminar in Hawaii. We kept in touch, and they said, “You really ought to come to Singapore – and we will show you around!” I thought, “What better way to see Singapore than with Singaporeans“

In early February 2003, I flew to Singapore. After a week in a hotel, I rented a serviced apartment for 10 weeks. While I was there, SARS broke out. For those who were in Singapore at the time, you will remember that the bustling city became a ghost town. Schools and businesses were closed, and people stayed in their homes. Those who ventured out usually wore masks. One of the people whom I had met said, “You don’t seem to be worried about SARS – WHY not???” I told her, “I have my essential oils!” When she asked if I would tell her a little about the oils, I suggested that she gather some friends together so we could have an introductory class. The next day, twelve people came to learn about and experience the Young Living essential oils!

When I returned to Florida the end of April, I was unsure whether I would rent out my apartment on the beach there seasonally, annually . . . or sell it. The answer came in a telephone call. A woman who had never been inside my apartment and whom I did not know called me and said that she would like to purchase it! She made an attractive offer and said she would also like to purchase anything I wanted to leave behind . . . so the decision was made. The end of June 2003, I moved to Singapore!
