  • In Pursuit of Human Joyfulness

  • 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…

  • OnTheBeach – Your True State of Being

    – A note from Donna – Oh, I was so enjoying that weather, I went out and bought a WICKED sun lounger (white and floral – it’s so cheery!) and it’s rained ever since. Aaaah, c’est la vie! But you know, whatever the weather is doing – get out and enjoy the outdoors. I was…

She basically said she thought I was amazing, filled me with confidence and joy that something I wrote had such an impact. And her encouragement had a wonderful impact on me. I am keeping…

  • OnTheBeach – Hell Is Other People

    An online community I am part of had a discussion subject this week about negative people – here’s my reply… This subject made me smile – I used to avoid negative people because they brought me down. Now, I welcome them…because their negativity doesn’t mean anything to me. If someone is standing next to you…
