  • Following Your Guidance

    Often we don’t follow our guidance because we’re scared we’re wrong and it won’t work out. But ironically, even if we do follow our guidance and it doesn’t turn out as we expect, it still feels better than ignoring what we know. Trust yourself – follow your guidance, even when you’re wrong! Love Donna.x

  • If you had 100% self belief…

    I came across this question a week or so ago “If you believed in yourself 100%, what would you do differently?” – at the time I was working on my ebook project, and the first answer to spring to mind was that I would start asking people to look at the first draft and give…

  • Share Your Gifts…Even If You’re Not Ready

    It never fails to entertain me that the articles I am least happy with are almost always the ones that have the greatest impact on readers! This week I realised on Sunday night that I hadn’t written my article for Monday morning, so I grabbed an idea, rushed out a mini-article on it and set…

  • Museums of Poverty

    “One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.” — Muhammad Yunus founder of the Grameen Bank & 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate In an e-mail from Rebecca Fine of www.scienceofgettingrich.net I received this quote. Isn’t that the most wonderful idea? That our granchildren would not be able to see…

  • The House of 1000 Mirrors

    Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears…

  • Now That’s What I Call Bloody Minded!

    So, you’re playing tennis, you’re 2 sets down and in the 3rd set your opponent is serving for the match. What do you do? Well, if you follow tennis in Britain, you’ll probably know that Andy Murray went on to WIN the match! Stunning. Un-believable. I was sat in watching the tv last night with…

  • From the Mouths of Babes

    Today I received this e-mail about what Love means to a 4-8 year old . . . “When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.” Rebecca- age 8 “When…

  • The Serenity Reminder

    This is BY FAR the best picture I have EVER taken! Isn’t it beautiful? I have this as my screen saver, I’ve been sharing it with everyone I know, and I am getting notecards and posters made from it! Yes, I love it! Not just because it’s a beautiful image, but because it reminds me…

  • The Role of Love

    To clarify, Donna, the primary roles of LOVE are not to heal, fix, or mend. Not to soothe, cure, or ease. Not even to refresh, rejuvenate, or restore. Hardly. The primary roles of LOVE, Donna, are to “Yahoo!” “Yeehaa!” and “Whoohooo!” Get your love on, The Universe You were born to love, Donna, no matter…

  • Before It’s Too Late

    In November, a 39 year old man went to the doctor’s with stomach problems. Last week, that man died. He just turned 40 in February. Do you think that you have all the time in the world to do what you want to do with your life? What if you’re wrong? If you just had…
