Discover Your Unique Essence
February 22, 2010 by Donna
Filed under Blog posts, Donna's Life, Fun, Inspiration
This weekend I’ve been watching some Faaaaaaaaabulous videos from Sandy Grason about building your empire, masterminding and your unique essence. And I thought that you would love the process for discovering your unique essence. If you’d like to watch the video about it, click here.
In a nutshell, the process is this: 1. Get a sheet of paper and write “I am” at the top and 1 to 10 down the side. 2. Imagine yourself a year from now – your life has gone better than you could ever have dreamed. Revel in that picture of you. 3. Write down the first 10 words you think of to describe who you are being in that picture. Don’t edit, don’t second guess and just write. 4. Write out your “I am” statement with the 10 qualities and add “I allow the pure expression of my (your name)-ness to shine forth in every moment”.
5. Share it in a comment here. Here’s mine:
I am passionate, funny, confident, strong, articulate, joyous, energetic, magnetic, expressive, a leader with a super strong belief in the pure magnificence of people, authentic, playing full out, expansive and laid-back. I allow the pure expression of my Donna-liciousness
to shine forward in every moment.
Woohoo!
Love

And God Made Dog
February 19, 2010 by Donna
Filed under Blog posts, Fun
A bit of Friday Fun for you:
And God created dog – The Story of Adam & Eve’s Pets
Adam and Eve said, ‘Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you
love us.’
And God said, ‘I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.’
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, ‘Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.’
And God said, ‘I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.’
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of
adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.’
And God said, ‘I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration..’
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them.. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility..
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased . . .
And Dog was happy. . .
And Cat didn’t give a shit one way or the other…
Happy Friday!!!

A Letter to Father Christmas
December 15, 2009 by Donna
Filed under Blog posts, Fun
When was the last time you wrote a letter to Father Christmas? 10, 20, 30, too many years! I know that when we’re about 8 we discover that Father Christmas isn’t real…and then the magic gradually seeps out of Christmas. Reconnect with the magic of the season and join the kids in sending a letter to Father Christmas.
And just think,WHAT IF all the grown-ups were wrong, and there really is a Santa?! Dear Father Christmas…

A Birthday Message from Myself
December 12, 2009 by Donna
Filed under Blog posts, Donna's Life, Fun
Among the many good wishes and messages I got on Thursday for my birthday (thank you, by the way if you were one of them!), I also got an e-mail from myself. I set this up a year ago, imagining the message I would like to get from myself in a year’s time. Then I promptly forgot all about it. Let me just share a tiny bit of it with you: “My dearest wish for you is that you will look in the mirror and see what I see – the dearest, most gorgeous, most fabulous woman in the world.”
Aw, aren’t I sweet?! And do you know what? This was one of the most treasured messages I got on my birthday. I was right, I judged it well – the message I sent myself was very well recieved, made me smile, made me laugh and it felt great! If you’d like to send yourself a message into the future, go along to futureme.org – but just do one thing for me – make it a positive, loving message. You do enough criticising yourself on a day to day basis. Make this message something you will feel great about receiving!

2. Light a match and burn that piece of paper.
3. Make a list of what you WANT to do before the end of the year.
4. Enjoy doing the things you want!
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
