Last week, yet another woman’s experiencing in our B2B Complete program inspired me. She shared the following experience:
“I have to share a sweet experience I had last night as I was determined to just ‘deliver love’. I wanted to visit a coworker whose daughter had just passed. I felt this turmoil and strong desire of wanting to bring her ‘something’ but didn’t know what she needed. I even drove past her house thinking I would run to the store and grab something. The overwhelming thought came again that it was okay to just deliver love for now. I turned around and went back.
As we visited she mentioned all that was left was to buy a frame that she forgot to pick up yesterday. I asked her if she would please let me do that for her. The frame was broken and worn. She agreed! I had the sweetest experience of finding some beautiful frames for both the original and copy. She was thrilled! I couldn’t help but to think had I not followed the prompting to just deliver love, I may have missed the opportunity to serve in a way that blessed her spirit and mine. I only share this because I feel it is so on point with what we discussed the other night. Sometimes we don’t need to do all the fluff before going…..just go and LOVE!
This GAL service, just Go And Love action totally inspired me. We had talked about it in our B2B meeting and had felt motivated then too. But this real-life experience sealed the deal.
A few days later my husband happened to mention that our neighbor hadn’t been feeling well. The evening before I had made a huge crockpot of minestrone soup that seemed to multiply overnight. But I only had six rolls left and no beautiful dessert and was headed out with my toddler. Thinking of this wonderful example, I didn’t worry about it. I microwaved dark Guittard chocolate chips and quickly dipped some strawberries for a fast dessert. Then simply took what I had. It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t complete, but it was from the heart. It worked! The neighbor loved it and was so appreciative, especially with her struggling health.
Thank you, B2B Gal for your awesome example that inspired me to just GAL service, to Go And Love.”
Hopefully, an opportunity comes this week for you to enjoy the pay-it-forward of GAL service!

Thanks for these wonderful thiughts. I think I am stopped (or stop myself a lot) from GALing, thinking I must have the perfect gift or know exactly what to say. I think people just want to know that somebody cares to take time out of their busy lives for them.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I think this is so being a woman. And I forget that when someone does a nice thing for me, I’m beyond thrilled and don’t think for a second about what may not be ideal about it. It’s too funny we can get in that mindset, but there it is. Thanks and happy GAL-ing!
