ABOUT THE BOOK:
The search for happiness and peace leads
us down many paths. Often the path of spirituality is taken in order to seek
healing and the ability to find relief from our problems. The key is to remain
true to ourselves and to never lose compassion for our self and others.
Happiness is not achieved by denial of emotional pain but through finding
balance with the good and the bad that comes with our life's journey.

Making your
dreams come true in 2012
In the
spiritual community, we consider the year 2012 to be a great year for people to
achieve their dreams. Yes, there is the fear of the Mayan Calendar ending for
many people. It is quite common for people to fear the world ending. I choose
to focus on the magic of 2012. I actually felt the change intuitively. I knew
that I would finish my book. Also, I knew that many of my clients would achieve
an important goal also. 2012 is an amazing year energetically.
Everyone has
a dream that deserves to be fulfilled. Why not now? Why not this year? The
problem is that so many people have a dream but they have not set a goal to
make their dreams come true. There are many stages to making a dream come into
reality. There are three main parts to achieving a dream.
The first
goal is to really visualize and fantasize about your dream every day. This is
necessary because we have to do role playing in our head first. We have to see
our self living out the goal over and over so that our mind starts to associate
a vision and a feeling with our goal. The more we see our self living out our
goal, the more the desire is to achieve it.
The next
step is to write down at least five steps to achieving our goal. Having a plan
in writing is how we speak to the universe and stay consistent about what we
want to achieve. The universe can only give us what we want if we choose to ask
for it in detail. Know exactly what you want but choose to be open to how it
shows up in your life. Sometimes, what we want will show up a little different
from how we visualized it. The five steps will show you how to recognize that
your dream is about to come to fruition. It is your sign that it is your time
for your dreams to come true.
Intention is
the next step to achieving your goal. Intention is action. Once you have visualized
and have written your five steps, it is now time to put your steps into action.
In order to achieve a goal, there must be continuous action. It is a daily job
to work toward a desired dream. There will be days of wanting to give up due to
rejection but keep telling everyone that can possible help you to achieve your
dreams about your dream. Never stop. The most successful people have been
rejected many times. Someone will say yes to you eventually.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Dr. Donna Lee:
Ever since I was a young girl, I wanted to be a
doctor. The reason why is because I thought that that was the only way that I
could take care of people. At first, I pursued pre med which led me to to want
to become more holistic. I decided to become a Chiropractor. While in
Chiropractic school, I learned the most about myself. I was exposed to many
people. My fellow students were from all around the world. I was no longer in
my little bubble. I realized that every belief that I had about myself was not
unique to me. My greatest life lesson is that everyone has a journey of self
acceptance. Race, social class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc had
no effect. We were all the same. Humans trying to get through life and search
for happiness and peace.
While in
Chiropractic School, my peers who were all so amazing with their various
knowledge on different techniques and their openness to differences. They
encouraged me to explore my intuitive self. I was uncomfortable but I did it
and I knew it was who I really was. I knew from that point that I would finish
Chiropractic school but I would take on a different career. Chiropractic opened
up my world and changed my life.
After
school, I decided to work as an intuitive. I was then led to spiritual
coaching. I decided to get a doctorate in metaphysical sciences. I enjoy having
a career of intuitive spiritual life coaching. I have clients all over the
world that I coach on the phone. As I helped my clients, I was being healed. I
learned so much about the human journey. I learned how to bring a new approach
to helping people to learn compassion for themselves and others which will lead
to healing and forgiveness.
My life
has not been easy. I grew up very poor. I was a teen mom at age 13. I had my
precious son for 23 years. I lost him when he was age 23. He had a brain tumor.
He was the greatest gift in my life and the source of inspiration for me. By
age 12, both of my parents had passed. I was in foster care. I had a brother
murdered. I have siblings that I love but two that do not interact with the
family. I was bit by a dog on my face and had to learn to speak again. I have
experienced sexual and verbal abuse.
I am like
everyone else. I am not a fluffy life coach without the true life experience. I
had to learn to not feel cursed and to find a way to forgiveness for situations
that I thought to be hurtful so that I can live a life without anger, hurt,
bitterness or self destruction. I want to give people the same gift that I have
due to coaching others. Compassion for myself and others.
I used
techniques B.E.S.T. and PSYCH K to help myself remove limiting beliefs so that
I could create a new perception of life. I spent so many years not
understanding my personal power and how my beliefs and actions affected my
quality of life. As I desired to change my perception of my life experience, I
attracted techniques that would assist me in healing myself. As I healed
myself, I attracted clients who wanted the to heal themselves and were also
open to understanding their personal power. I constantly experienced more and
more awareness.
Book Excerpts :
|
EXCEPT#1One of the main reasons people seek out spirituality
is to make peace with the frustrations that they have been living with. Daily
life is overwhelming for many people because there is this expectation that
there should be something more to life. All of their expectations of
themselves and others have left them frustrated to the point that they are
ready to detach in order to find relief. They do not want to feel their
feelings so a spiritual alternative of letting go with love is very
appealing. What is missing is their understanding that they need to change
their perception and be able to see that frustration is about lack of
understanding and wanting to control without changing one’s self. We want to
change everyone but ourselves because we do not want to be wrong. We make the
person who is making us feel wrong feel that they are the one who needs to
change.
EXCERPT#2
Compassion for ourselves
is about allowing ourselves to feel our emotional pain then validate it so
that we can make peace with past issues that have caused us pain. The sad
part is that many people try to push down their emotions so that they won’t
appear weak. A lot of people try to put issues that hurt them somewhere in
the back of their head so that they won’t have to feel those emotions. It
does not work. It actually results in more anger and a lack of compassion for
our self when we do not acknowledge that we have emotional issues that have
affected our happiness.
