  4. Gala, you are so fantastic. I only just discovered your site a few months ago, but I have gone back and read everything you have written since the beginning.

    You are such an inspiration and you seem like such a wonderful, beautiful, and genuine person.

    I can’t wait to see what you come up with in 2008 :]

  5. Argh!! Its happened again, its like a reoccurring nightmare!! I bought yet another Cosmo and you’re article is yet a again absent!! I have become accustomed to opening my beloved magazine to read up on Mia Timpanos (first discovered her in Frankie Magazine heart heart) articles, the sealed section and your fabulous column, all of which were lacking this past two months. Its a sad moment.

  8. Thank you so much! I didn’t know you used EFT and I got all excited when I saw it in the list!.
    I’ve been using it to stop biting my nails and it’s working great. I was afraid to use it with other problems, but you just gave me the courage to try it out!

  9. What you do with iCiNG is amazing; I discovered it only two months ago and it’s made such a difference in my life that I can’t go more than a few days without visiting it. :D!

  10. Gala :)

    Like so many other people here, I’d like to thank you for being such a wonderful person and sharing your happiness with all of us. It must be so hard to always be so up-front and open about personal things, but your blog has really changed my life. You’ve inspired me to always try my best at being a fabulous person.

    I can’t wait for this new year with iCiNG!
