MySpace Account - Meet The Designer

In our lives we are fortunate to meet wonderful friends and I would like to introduce to you one of my friends Alyssa Knowles. Alyssa is a young and creative woman with a lot of great ideas. Knowing this and with Alyssa volunteering to create the MySpace account I took her up on the offer. She did an absolutely fabulous job! Click on the heading above to see what Alyssa has created.
In the future I plan to continue to work with Alyssa in other aspects of my business. She is young and has a unique style in her thinking - a great creative edge.
Kudos to you Alyssa and Thank You for helping me prosper!

2008 And We Are Ready To Roll

The beginning of the New Year is here and I have been anticipating a new beginning for Gwendolyn's Gate. The excitement and energy is in the air. If I were to put this to a song it would be, I'm Every Woman" by Whitney Houston. And I do hope she is doing well!
Today marks the first full week of the New Year and the plans for 2008 are in motion. A lot of wonderful changes are coming. New packaging is one - no need to worry the Butterfly and Crystal will still be present - oh but the paper and color will certainly catch ones eye. Of course the beautiful and luxurious ingredients will remain the same helping you achieve an overall sense of well being.
I am sad to say that a few products will no longer be carried once inventory is sold out. Look for special deals coming soon. The products are the beautiful Crystal Potpourri, Reed Diffuser, and the Gift Set of Body Oil.
The reason for the discontinued items is that I am reaching for my calling. With the amazing and verified results of my "Chrysalis" product line I am going to continue my research in skin care.
I am excited about the new beginnings and you will be too! Just wait by the end of February you will see the change. All for the better!

In God We Trust

What has brought me to this thought is a conversation I had with my brother, Chuck, yesterday. During our conversation we were talking about my product and how things were progressing. Also, as mentioned in the previous post, I told my brother how my Body Butter and Bath Salts are helping those who have psoriasis and eczema. He then said to me, Wendy, God has given you your calling as a healer and you might want to change your approach. We further discussed my past as a Massage/Aromatherapist and that healing has always played a major role in my life.
After hanging up with my brother I remembered that a couple of years ago I went through a very hard time in my life. I moved with my husband from the city of Chicago up north close to the Wisconsin border. Talk about a change. Just before we moved I was offered a wonderful job with great pay but the travel would be too much with the move and I declined. My quest was on to find myself up north and this was the onset of my struggle as to where I was at in life. Then a friend gave me a book to read called, "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren.
This is an absolutely must read book for all who need to find themselves. It is based on God and spirituality. It defines your purpose and gives you a new and different way to approach life. It will affect every aspect in your life. I trust in God - he has given me all that I have.
The book is on My Recommended list with Amazon.com you will find here on the right side of my blog. It is on the second page.
Happy Reading! Wendy Goudie
