GIVE-AWAY - LDSWA $50 Gift Certificate!

Daryll M. Jonnson (another contributor to forthcoming book, Famous Family Nights) is donating a $50 Gift Certificate for any product from LDSWA - The Spirit of You Collection Store – as this week’s give-away.

This free, online organization at www.ldswa.com includes a superb, full-color, interactive women’s magazine; a social networking section known as “Our Ladies Room;” an events and retreats program; and a unique collection of home-based products. There is also a social networking site for Young men and Young Women called YomYow at www.yomyow.com. More about each of these excellent services below.

Daryll Jonnson, a convert to the Church in the United Kingdom, realized there are often times LDS women feel they are not fitting in. It became evident to her that even though we connect at church meetings, at times women feel a disconnect with other sisters. She found it wasn’t easy to find somewhere to socialize in a safe setting with other LDS women sharing the same values. Daryll experienced the struggle felt when taking personal time away from other commitments, but understood that in order to take care of everyone and everything else, we also need daily time out for ourselves.
Daryll says, “I felt there had to be another way to find a deeper connection with each other and to instill in all women their values and rights to eternal blessings, no matter their course of life before finding Christ - even a place where they would feel understood and supported, a place that would give them opportunities for their voices to be heard. For this purpose LDSWA was created.”

LDSWA – LDS Women’s Alliance
A Worldwide Place to Call Our Own

At LDSWA™, our vision is to gather and support each other, to connect more across the miles, to be there for each other with love and understanding. Individually and collectively, we want to respect one another’s strengths and share our talents. We want to create an environment where we can watch out for one another’s spiritual and temporal welfare, appreciating and honoring our differences while sharing a part of ourselves with each other.
This is a place you can feel comfortable bringing non-member friends of all ages and backgrounds to experience a taste of true sisterhood, where they can see we are pretty neat and normal people! No matter what part of the world you come from, you can be a member of LDSWA™.

Below are some of the services LDSWA offers: Go to www.ldswa.com to see more.

The Collection - The Spirit of You™
Our desire it to provide you with wonderful products to uplift, remind, and inspire you- items that have style as well as substance. We have found many wonderful pieces we believe fit this criteria as well as designing our own unique lines just for you through this collection. We know the important areas of your life, the Spirit, the Body, and the Home. When you take care of The Spirit of You™ and achieve some form of balance, you can feel in harmony with the world.

Our Ladies Room
Our Ladies Room is a virtual community for LDS women around the world to connect and share with each other. Each member will have the ability to create their own personal page with invited friends to view. You can post photos, videos, music etc. and communicate with each other regardless of miles or country. LDSWA™ executives will monitor and moderate the community and add their own messages and thoughts for the entire community to read.

Latter Day Woman Magazine™
Tired of the Holly wood icons and the poor example that many of them set? No more. Latter-Day Woman™ is written for real women by real women. A magazine that can be read by all women of faith; so finally we can feel comfortable sharing something with our non-member friends. Read the new edition out June 1st.

Simple Escapes for Women™
Our 3-day retreats are events where we work from The Spirit of You™ program with a focus on the total body, spirit and home. A metamorphosis takes place as we take women from where they are today and show them how - through taking care of their image, inner spirit and environment - their true spirit emerges.
