My first blog post for Garden Gate Life, how cool is that?

I started Garden Gate Life because I had a longing to create something bigger than myself. Something that would help others find the answers they were looking for. You know the ones, maybe you have even asked them yourself, all the W’s.

Who am I?
Why am I here?
What is my purpose?
Where do I go from here?
I would love to be able to sit here and tell you that I have the answers you are seeking, alas I cannot. Then why should you come to me? What do I have to offer you and what makes me any different than any other business claiming to be able to help you?

To answer that I would have to tell you a story. The story begins with a young girl who struggled to fit in this world. She was liked by everyone she met, but never really felt connected to anyone. She struggled greatly in her primary school days to fit in, but never really did.

Feeling lost she turned to church for comfort, for while there she felt a strange sense of home and belonging. That came to an end one beautiful sunny day, when she went to the church during her lunch break from school. You see she went there often to light a candle, say a prayer and on this particular day she was moved to sing. Oh did she sing, loud and strong, she felt so warm, so connected. Unfortunately the priest at the time didn’t share her enthusiasm and he didn’t ask the girl why she was there. Instead he cast her out of the church, believing I am sure that there was no good to be had by a child in a church by herself. Surely she had to be up to no good. Confused the girl left the church that day, never to return to the only place she felt warm, understood and at home.

I was the girl, now a woman. I have spent the last 45 years looking for something to fill that void and I have created a life that involved many challenges and learning experiences. I have been tested in my relationships, my finances and in my faith and I am joyful when I tell you I that although I may not have all the answers, I have a good life. I have found an awareness that allows me to work with people every day to help them maneuver through their lives and create a life that brings them much more joy and abundance.

So if you are struggling in your life and desire to change it, I would be glad to discuss it and perhaps put a plan together to help you with doing just that. Your life is waiting….

I look forward to serving you.

Joy, love & awareness,

Wanda
