About Gail Gates

My name is Gail Gates and I live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, and inspiration. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.
