Doing What You Love

My name is Gwen Goldsmith, and I’m an ordained Interfaith minister residing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment.  It took me thirty years to move to this magical place that I visited as a teenager, and it is  awe inspiring to me that I finally manifested my dream.  This website, ReverendGwen.com, is my way of expressing my spiritual path.

It seems obvious to most that if you really love your work, you will be good at it and it will flow easily.  For some reason, I was afraid to really follow my deepest heart’s desire – working with people.  It took me a long time to discover it was because I was afraid that if I failed, I would have nowhere else to go.  Now I know that when you try something and fail, you simply readjust and tap back into your Source to find more love and more desire.  And then you do the next right thing.  Compassion for self is a big life lesson.

Today I work with couples to create memorable and unique wedding and commitment ceremonies.  It helps that I have a background in performance and writing, since I use both those skills when I create a ritual.  But what I love most is listening to people, hearing their hopes and their dreams, and helping them make their vision become a reality.  Planning the wedding is the first step in the process.  Planning their life together as a couple is the more important step.

Om Namah Shivaya.
