Better lifestyle choices and freedom from breast cancer – meet Bonita Shelby

Later in this post, I will share two books that radically changed the trajectory of my life!

But first, the most important parts of my background…

I was healed of a breast cancer over 29 years ago that awakened me from ignorance about how to really take care of myself. I immediately started on an intentional journey of making better lifestyle choices. Many years later, I made a bold career change in 2010 from a being a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) to a being a CCA (Certified Clinical Aromatherapist).

I now share the amazing benefits of using Father GOD’s natural, plant-based provisions from the earth of genuine, unadulterated essential oils (like Frankincense & Myrrh) and infused products to whomever is open to learning more and living a harsh chemical free lifestyle. I believe it is imperative that the Body of Christ learn and use this life enhancing information. 

I enjoy learning and sharing empowering info, writing, creative, quick, healthy and tasty cooking, arts and crafts, uplifting music, experiencing adventurous events and traveling. I love being used by HOLY SPIRIT and remain amazed and grateful to Father GOD for being alive for such a time as this!

I was born and raised in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) in the Petworth/Georgia Avenue area of Northwest Washington, DC; moved to Maryland in my early 20s and have lived in Maryland longer than I lived in DC. I love my native city even with it being much different, (yet somewhat better) place. My desire is to reclaim my family’s DC home ownership heritage before I leave out of here.

What are those two books? 


Back to Eden (the original version) by Jethro Kloss – I was made aware of it by my paternal grandmother who was an avid user of the books and herbs. As a young teenager, she told me I should go to college to research herbs. Being the know-it-all teenager, I thought, ‘they don’t teach that in college’ and I ignored her and pursued the Bachelor of Business Administration major at Howard University with a concentration in Accounting instead. Long story short, I’ve been back tracking for the last 17 years once I was introduced to Seed to Seal® real, unadulterated essential oils.

Healing Oils of the Bible by Dr. David Stewart – 

I was made aware of it from a conversation I had with a friend who had an encounter with a colleague who had experienced massive changes in her physical, mental and emotional wellness. My friend called to tell me what she found out about the Healing Oils of the Bible, like Frankincense and Myrrh, and it was on from that point to now!

What can you expect from my posts here? 

My blog posts will be for your benefit for awareness, education, and application of empowering information about the importance of eliminating unhealthy water and fake foods, toxic environments, sleep deprivation, toxic personal and household chemicals, negative thoughts, words, relationships and actions, physical inactivity. I’ll share info about my preferred options for better wellness outcomes which work extremely well for me and many others.

Join us in a special study!

You are invited to attend our study of the book, Healing Oils of the Bible, for Christian Educators and other Christians who would like to know this part of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST that has not been known so it hasn’t been taught. It will begin in September, date and time TBDPlease contact me if interested.

    “In the Hands of Her Caregivers”, a book about healthcare and why it must change

    When Mara Mitchell’s mom went to the hospital that day for back pain, she assumed this minor set-back would soon be behind them. Mara selected the best medical institutions in the area to treat her mother, with highly competent and diligent medical staff. So since the expert medical treatment was covered, her role was to be loving and supportive while her mother healed. Mara was wrong. During her mother’s hospital stay, Mara had to become an army of one to fight for her mother’s treatment. As a nurse herself, Mara was completely blindsided by the cracks in the healthcare system. This book, based on true events, chronicles first-time author Marilyn Mitchell’s war with the healthcare system. The story explains in great detail everything she had to do to advocate for her mother. “There is a need for change,” Mitchell said in a short interview with Aknowingspirit. “This book is to bring about awareness of the challenges faced by patients and families within the healthcare system.” Mitchell hopes that her experience can help others navigate the complex healthcare system to become better advocates for themselves and their loved ones. In short, this book is required reading for all of us. “In the Hands of Her Caregivers” is set for release June 3, 2022.
