So those of you in my inner circle know that I have had a desire to facilitate workshops and do lecturing about metaphysical topics for a long time but just haven't been able to get out of my own way.

Well, after a lot of self work (that is continually ongoing), guess what? I'm finally stepping outside of my comfort zone and making it happen!

I'm excited to announce I will be facilitating my first workshop, Moving Forward with Mindful Intention, after the first of the year! I have two venues (Wareham, MA and Pawtucket, RI) I'll be offering it at with a potential 3rd venue closer to Boston that I'll know more about in a few weeks!

Keep an eye out here on my personal page and on my Inner Understanding page in the coming weeks for venue and pricing details.

In the meantime, here is what you can expect to receive from the Workshop.

The goal of this workshop is to support you on your path to becoming the best version of yourself you can be by incorporating mindfulness techniques and intention setting into your daily life.

We’ll look at the basics of mindfulness and do some self-reflection exercises to

· look at how present our past is in the current moment
· help us start to move on from our past
· guide us in how to question limiting beliefs

Improving mindfulness begins with improving the relationship we have with ourselves and you should come to this workshop prepared to do some honest (sometimes tough) inner work to jumpstart your path to a better, more mindful relationship with yourself and those around you!

Additional handouts with tips, techniques, helpful websites and more will be provided to assist you in developing your own unique mindfulness practice.

Workshop Duration: 4 hours

Learning the difference between responding and reacting is life changing.

We react from our emotions and familiar past experiences...sometimes rashly, irrationally, or what's referred to as knee-jerk with no thought or care behind it.

When we respond, our actions come from a totally different place. Responding involves thought, mindfulness, rational action, and calm understanding. You create what Dr Joe (Dispenza) refers to as the "sweet spot of the generous present" rather than a "predictable experience" based on memories from the past.

Now that you're aware, the next time a situation presents itself, pay attention to whether you're reacting or responding. You may be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

Have a great evening and make it an amazing week!!

Sending you all much love and light! ❤️

I have a question for you.

When the Universe speaks to you, do you listen? REALLY listen?

I know what you're thinking. Donna, what the hell are you talking about??? Do I listen to the Universe? Are you nuts?

No, I'm not nuts (although I suppose that depends on who you talk to).

What I mean by that is do you listen to your inner voice? That whisper (or shout), the nudge (or push), that "hunch" or feeling? Whatever it is inside you that makes you feel something is a good idea or a bad idea. Yeah, THAT thing.

It doesn't only communicate that kind of information to you. It speaks to us constantly. All day. All night. You don't realize it, but it has a LOT to say to us about everything and anything. Most of us just don't pay attention.

The Universe/God/Goddess/Divine/Spirit (whatever you want to call it) wants to help us be successful, abundant, happy, helpful, whatever we wish or feel our purpose is. It wants to help and it has helped you and it WILL help you ALWAYS but you have to listen. Have a conversation with the Universe and LISTEN.

Talk to the Universe about your thoughts, your dreams, your wishes. Ask for help and guidance. Please SHOW me how. Please present me with opportunities that I can take action on to make my dreams come true. Please guide me. Please direct me. Please help me to view things in a different light so I can change my reality.

Talk to the Universe, pray, meditate, chant, whatever you feel comfortable with. But when you do, you will want to consider listening, watching and paying attention for the signs, situations, and thoughts that show up in response. Otherwise you're going to miss out. You have work to do in this endeavor. The Universe isn't going to hand it to you. It's going to SHOW you the path. YOU have to make it happen.

Part and parcel along with talking to the Universe is working on rewiring your brain to move away from your old thoughts and habits that keep you stuck in, what Dr. Joe (Dispenza) calls the familiar past. If we don't change those old thought patterns, beliefs and habits, we stay stuck and create a predictable, known future which looks a lot like our familiar past.

And who wants to stay stuck where we are? I don’t. If you're like me, you want something better. Something more meaningful and, yeah, even more life changing.

And you can. I know you can, because I've done it. I've experienced so many miraculous things in my life it's hard to imagine. All because I asked and I LISTENED and i took action and most importantly, I let go of control.

I know, I know...OH MY GAWD I CAN'T LET GO OF CONTROL!! I need to know how, when, why, where!!!!

Let me tell you something. NO, you don't. You don't.

Is it the hardest thing you'll ever do? Yep.

Will you fail the first several (hundred maybe) times you try? Probably.

But the first time you do and you see the results of letting go and putting your faith in the Universe's hands and express your gratitude for what's been presented to you, you are going to be SO amazed you're going to kick yourself you weren't able to do it sooner. I promise. ❤️
