Asking for money can be fun

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to Amber Lounge on last Wednesday night to celebrate All Things Wishful's launch!  It was amazing to be surrounded by a large room of people who had come out to get excited with us about our business.  Despite the rainy, windy weather (did we mention we are in Seattle?), the stars aligned for our launch party.  In keeping with All Things Wishful's goal of helping engaged couples get the gifts they want, our co-host was fellow Seattle start-up was CupidsPlay, a clever social gaming and online dating site started by  veteran entrepreneurs and friends of ours.  Add a signature drink named Cupid's Wish (for CupidsPlay and All Things Wishful - get it?) and a couple hundred very nice-looking (and very nice) people, and we had the perfect celebration of our businesses.  Kudos to Arry for orchestrating this fabulous night.

All night, as we were telling our guests about our awesome product, we were again struck by how what All Things Wishful does seems to really resonate with people.  Sometimes, the most thoughtful gift is cash.  With cash, you can get what you want, when you want, from wherever want.  The only thing is that it isn't always an easy thing to ask for.  Well, that's what All Things Wishful is here for.  We make asking for money fun and easy.  AND we make giving money fun and meaningful for your friends.  Check out our cool platform at: www.allthingswishful.com.

where oh where is arry?

Here I am! I've been hearing a lot of feedback these past few months about my lack of writing on the blog... and I am going to make a real concerted effort to do so going forward. Yes, hold me accountable to that.

What’s been on my mind lately, other than our start-up venture and my day job? While I tend to be the bubblier one that likes to skip along the sidewalk while singing love songs to my fuzzy baby, Mochi, I also have a very serious side – maybe even a little dark too. Lately (and by lately, I mean in the past couple of years), I've been obsessed with the world of relationships, of men and women – and as a result, I’ve come up with a lot of Confucius-like sayings. Friends have been calling me the fortune cookie. I'll share some of those as well, along with my rants and thoughts on how or why I think the way I do.

In the meantime - our site is almost ready to go!! We've got working pages, buttons that click, registration pages that create accounts, administration pages to manage our business, it's quite exciting!!! Keep your eyes peeled, ears open, and hearts pitter-pattering for us as we approach our soft launch. We think that our product is awesome – a site designed by women – for women.

Hugs,
Arry
