Shame On Me I Thought You Were My Friend by Gabbriella Conte
Hi Everyone! Gabbriella's Sampler program has been unexpectedly placed on hold due to people signing up but not fulfilling the samples due in. I still get a few each month which I pass out at fairs I attend promote them that way. Hopefully for the holidays from September through November we will once again have a sampler box to offer. Customers are still begging for them but I don't have enough participation to offer it. So if you would like to be a part of the Sampler in September, October & November please contact me as this will be the Holiday preparation. The news this month is the release of my book Shame On Me...I Thought You Were My Friend. It was published on May 21.For a preview you can go http:// www.createspace.com/3435570 Should you befriend your ex? If your are divorced, planning a divorce or even know someone divorced or separated this book can help you. You can be happy in the midst of struggle. A true story of love, hope, family, forgiveness & moving on. LIVE TO LOVE & LOVE TO LIVE! They may be protecting something inside themselves, some fear or guilt or shame, or some private part of THEIR story that they're not yet ready to share. Your openness might threaten them…that is when you need to lay aside all other feelings you may have concerning this & weigh in on the fact that you need to, for once in your life, do what is right for you to move on….without this person ever being a part of your life again as you have known it, sometimes for many years…in my case nearly 13 years of being the Ex Wife which I prefer to be called the 1st wife. This is MY story…I am sure he has a story also. But this is what I put into the relationship & have learned. If indeed I can help someone that is my purpose for this book. If it is relaxing for you to read of someone else’s experience, then that is good. Even if you may see humor in any part of my story, that is even greater since laughter can be healing.

A Most Exciting Time In My LIfe!

Such an exciting time for me right now! The day the article of my book appeared in the Sewickley Herald my friends & I had a small celabration at a local restaurant. The weather was gorgeous that day and what a perfect way to end the evening chatting & giggling about my book and where it is taking me (us) & teasing about being on Oprah someday while sharing time over a luscious glass of petit syrah wine at a table on the sidewalk in the village.

The food, wine and company was great. It was as if we had planned it. But we didn't. It was imprompted and turned out one of the best evenings in a long time.

Of course I can dream about being on Oprah, I hardly think there may be a chance at that. Especially since Oprah is going off the air, on to new ventures of her own. But a girl can dream can't she! It is great to have my friends dream along with me. I just love seeing them smile back at me with the same joy in their eyes & voice that I am having. That is the meaning of true friendship! Hearing and seeing that for myself. I am truly so Blessed, beyond measure. God has been good to me all my life but it seems what we lack in one area he gives an abundance in others.

Girlfriends, women supporting other women, in all times of their lives. This is what life is truly about. And I am so thankful to have all my girlfriends here to celebrate with me. For they have cried with me and now is the time for happy tears, laughing till it hurts and casting all other worries aside if even for a few hours and then to go back to our lives separately. I have many friends, all are different and all represent a unique part of me and I love them all!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Sewickley Herald Interview!

Yesterday I met with a reporter of the Sewickley Herald local newspaper to do an article on my book. It was a very exciting opportunity for me and went very well. I am anxious to get the word out to the public about my book as it is a hope to me that it will help women with the same struggles in life know they are not alone and that they are capable of any dream they may have. It is never too late in life to begin again!

I will keep you all posted as to when the article is printed.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Blessings!

BELIEVE IN ME....

You may ask "What does the Believe in Me" on the mirror have to do with the book. Well in my own personal life I do alot of praying and talking to God while putting my makeup on. During one of those sessions over the last 13 years of my life while talking to God about the direction I had chosen to take my life in. I felt strongly when asking Him "what now Lord?" He gently impressed those words on my heart "Believe in Me" not only to believe in Him to take care of all that I would ever need, but to also during this time to tell myself "Believe in ME" meaning I had to also believe in MYSELF, that I would be capable of getting through any tough time that would come my way. He would not fail me if I would not fail myself. I have hung on to those words many times in the course of the last 13 years of my life. It has made me who I am today. And this book is because of that. Without believing in God and myself I would have never written my experience. It has opened up a whole new world for me. One I now know was deep within me all along just waiting to jump out! Today I am experiecing a happiness I never knew would be a part of my life. Not to say that I was not happy yesterday...because I was very happy within myself & my life yesterday. But when I look at all that I have accomplished and see in the future more of my life taking this direction. I would not change a breath and do it any other way. The bad has made be better, the weak times have made me stronger and the tough times have turned me inside out & upside down to become the balanced woman I am today. Yes I still have weaknesses and down times like all of you might, but I bounce back so much quicker than before. I have become more reslient to life. I am eager see what is next for me & where that takes me. I always did have a heart for adventure & my life has been just that! Blessings to all!

June 17, 2010: It's the story of one woman's journey of navigating through the complexities of divorce and the discoveries of self awareness. Neither claiming to be a 'how to' or 'self help' book, it is an honest look at a woman's struggle from the pain of her past and the victorious emergence into her new beginnings. It is a good read for anyone, not just those struggling through divorce. *****
