Is is wrong to say that I really look forward to Wednesdays?
This week, Jamie asks, 'What door do you wish to open?' for Wishcrafting Wednesday. I got up early to check the website out and I'm glad that I did. It took some thinking/wondering to figure out just what I would like an opportunity at. (sorry 7th grade english teacher)
And then I remembered this little idea I had years ago.
But first I have to backtrack and give you some information. When I was pregnant with my first child, I became allergic to everything. I swelled up like a tick and it was awful. So I called my grandmother who got me into an oatmeal bath and got me on the soap/lotion/body spa products path. I loved it. I made great stuff.
But, my packaging sucked. I have no talent for picking out colors/fonts/etc. And then when the girls got bigger, I dropped it.
However, I'd like the door to making spa products open again. Preferably with an established company so I don't have to deal with packaging and have someone to ask questions. Also, I've always wanted to do this little thing - donate spa products to women going through chemotherapy.
My mom died of breast cancer when I was little and I remember going to radiation with her. It made her so sick, her skin so dry, and she just felt unattractive. I'd like to help other women with that. Lavender soaps, shea butter lotions, huckleberry lip balms...all in a great little basket/crochetted market bag (yea, I make those too....I love adult learning classes).
So, whew! that was long, that's my wish. I wish for the spa door to open!!

That's how my mama died....God bless you. As you wish for yourself, as you wish for others, I also wish for you with all my heart.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That is so beautiful. What a gift! I work with women in a domestic violence shelter and people often bring in little bags filled with goodies for them. It makes them feels so incredibly special. You will be offering so much. I recently watched an episode of Secret Millionaire in which one of the female millionaires gave money to a company that went in a did spa and beauty treatments on the terminally ill. As you wish for yourself, so I wholeheartedly wish for you as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazingly thoughtful wish! As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also!

ReplyDeleteThank you all! I (secretly) worried that my wish sounded insane.
ReplyDeleteAs you all wish for yourself - every day, not just wednesdays! - I wish for you also!
What great ideas for helping people with your talents. Last year I took a four day training session for using herbs in medicines and other body care items and I'd like to move forward in that direction too.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the packaging. You'll find someone who'd be glad to help when you tell them why you need the design work.
This will heal different people for different reasons in so many different ways!
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you too.
what a wonderful door! I'm sure you'll be very successful. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
