You're Not Responsible for the Actions of Others


I am at a point in my life that I look at each experience as a gift. I know that this may sounds a little odd, but once I realized that the people I interact with are mere mirrors reflecting back what I am focused on and what I need to work on and the only thing in life that I have control over are my thoughts and reaction(emotions) it put everything into perspective.  So is my theory and philosophy. 

I also know that if someone treats me with less then love in some way, then it's on them, because I am not accountable or responsible for the actions of others.  I believe that as I work on being that "being of love" that I am, then I shine.  How someone feels about me is not my business, not my concern.

I know that the Universe puts people in our path for a reason; perhaps it's to find common connections, perhaps to find a new friend, but most certainly to learn and grow from each other.

Cherish the time you spend with others with a laugh and a smile.  

Have a day filled with love,

Small Acts of Kindness


I'm always grateful when I receive correspondence that what I've written has touched someone.  I don't write for accolades or praise, I do it because I care. I also get a feeling, a deliciousness that tickles my heart when I know that it helps someone.

When you give of yourself without expectation of reward, the Universe actually does rewards in more ways that you can imagine. I believe that there's a balance in all things as part of Universal Law.  When giving from your heart, your return is an overflow of inner love.

What you give does not have to be a grand gesture. It can be as simple as a "Good Morning" and a smile to a stranger you meet about your day. To you, it may meaning nothing, but to them, well, it could mean the world. You don't know what sort of troubles and tribulations others face. Perhaps that friendly greeting was just what they needed at that moment to remind them that God is listening. You just never know.  

For me, I write these articles as part of that "pay it forward" philosophy. I am also always the first one to say hello to my fellow humans in stores, on the sidewalk and while waiting in line. My mind no longer consumed with worry, I have plenty of time for greetings, empathy and compassion. 

Why are so many other people are not doing the same? The answer is simple. Most people today are self absorbed in their own two-by-two existence. They are consumed with replaying situations and worrying about this and that. They do not recognize that the key to happiness and love is to release the things that are out of our control. One way to unburden your mind is to share your heart with everyone you meet.  It all starts with a smile and a nice greeting!

It's when we touch someone who has been, out of touch, that we provide them the opportunity to reopen that door to their heart.

You have the ability to lift the broken hearted and help heal the wounded with 1 kind word, 1 kind act or gesture, so do that today. 

Have a day filled with love,

God Has Your Back


We try our best to assist those in need; family, friend and stranger alike when people in our sphere go through a difficult time. 

Depending on the situation of those we assist, things can get out of control as we get sucked into one or more of the interested parties drama. This chaos can be exponentially amplified depending on their stress level of the life crisis.  I have first hand experience running from helping one person to another and in doing so, getting sucked in their overwhelming drama.

I have also been smeared with corrupt intent by those whom I have assisted and have dealt with various levels of gaslighting narcissists who have taken advantage of my kindness and generosity. 

There are times when you have to step away from a situation, person or group. Whether that door closes by your own hand as you walk away, or by an unknown force,  I can tell you that no matter what, God always has your back and your best interest at heart.   I think the above saying from the Joel Osteen ministries says it all. 

If you take nothing away from this article know that it's all about your intention. If you intention is to help someone, then you are in a good place. Yes, it's disheartening dealing with people who continually have their hand out, interested in what they can get, those that you help who do not appreciate your time, energy or money, condemning you after you help them.  Just know, that karma is on them.  You are not here to solve everyone's problems. That is their homework. You are not obligated to stay in situations or associate with people who treat you poorly. You are allowed to walk away, even if it's your brother. 

In speaking to a friend, she lost someone close to her as a door closed. When I asked here how she felt, she paused and said, "I feel relieved that I am finally outside all that drama that I allowed that person to create in my life." I've been in similar situations myself and the words calm and relief ring true when it came to removing myself from the influence of those still living in the drama and nonsense.

Go with peace in your heart and mind.

Lemons to Lemonade


Some people believe that all setbacks are catastrophic. Me, not so much, knowing that each experience is a gift that does one of three things:

  1. Validates how delicious life is.
  2. Shows us where our homework is.
  3. Helps us realize how strong we are.

Through the Looking Glass


When I took time to look back at the person I was from the time I started writing my blog back in 2012 to today it reminded me how much I've grown. 

When we dare to look in the mirror and see ourselves, we see things that we like, but mostly we see things that we can either continue to sweep under the carpet or face head on.  

In general, I think that most of us do not take the time to look within, but distract ourselves in everyday tasks or substances so we do not have to face them. If we try we discover that with that first step forward, a wonderful world emerges; one where we find our true selves as we change or discard the things that no longer resonate.

I am not saying that this is easy, because it takes moving into uncomfortable or unfamiliar territory. Many define themselves by what they do, what they drive, where they live and what they own. Today I define myself by who I help and "being love."

Take the time to explore yourself and work on finding more of the loving being that you are. You will be thrilled with the outcome as you finally rid yourself of what no longer serves you and can honestly say "I Love You" to you!

Wishing you a delicious day,
LeeZa Donatella

A Door Closing Brings New Opportunities

When God closes one door, he opens a window
No matter what name you use for God, (Allah, Brahma, Buddha, Divine Mother, Highest Self, Jah, Jehovah, Jesus,  Kishna, Shiva or just plain old me)  know that when God closes one door you are being blessed with the opportunity to move forward and another one will open.

Here's an Example
A client was talking to me about being laid-off from work. As we talked more about her situation, she shared that she had been working at a job she hated and wanted to leave; she just had not yet taken action. Out of the blue, a massive layoff had left her unemployed and she came to me depressed.  As we chatted, I asked her if she wanted to leave, then why she was depressed. In her case she was getting paid to be home looking for her next position. She cocked her head sideways saying, "yeah, I never looked at it that way."

So often in my life when something unpleasant happens, when I keep a positive outlook about something good coming out of it, then a new door usually opens. It is as if some "force" is providing me with the opportunity to move forward. It always fills me with such gratitude for what I have and leaves me with a feeling of the abundance, ecstatic and grateful for whatever new wonderful opportunity is to come. And I am not more special or deserving that any of you. 

We are all part of the "all that is" connected with new doors available for us to open.
Do not be afraid, just walk right in.


Wishing you a delicious day,

Little Things Can Bring Big Blessings


I found myself on a recent rainy day wanting a place with a soft atmosphere that reminded me of good times past and a great cup of something hot.  I drove the rain drenched backstreets of midtown Reno, NV to The Isles, where I was transported back to the early 1900’s as I took my first step into its foyer.

The fragrant Irish tea and scones with Devonshire crème and jam were a delightful treat as I sat back and enjoyed the energy of this place as Irish music played in the background.

Being Peace and Love


Yeah, I know you've heard this "Be Peace and Love" a million times before, but do you know why the some of us who have found that fountain of all that is grand and holy is continually spewing this to you?  It's because once you know the deliciousness of life you want to share it with, well everyone to make their lives better. 

It was no coincidence that I walked away from a vice presidency in technology to follow my passion of writing, teaching/speaking about the love energy and helping others. And things, they seem to work out as I open my heart and follow my dreams. On the occasion when I needed a little cash, a gig materializes or an opportunity for a place to stay appears, seemingly out of thin air. 

Everything in Life Changes (Annica)



Funny about making plans. No matter what I do, when I try and make plans it seems that the universe has something different in store for me. Most people would be jumping out of their skin at such uncertainly, but I have learned to take it in stride and I glide from one place to the next treated as if I were walking on clouds. Yes, I said clouds, since it seems that I am so truly blessed by the kindness of strangers and new friends. Many thanks to all the people in and visiting San Jose del Cabo that I have had the fortunate pleasure of spending time with. It has been my honor to get to know you and I wish you all well.

Do Not React When Plans Change


Yesterday was one of those days when the universe was in perfect alignment. And I’m not talking about the fact that everything I had planned went smoothly. Nothing went to plan and that was the beauty of it all. Everything that I thought I was going to do yesterday, did not happen. But I never reacted, got disappointed or allowed my vibration to waver. Not once, when my initial plans for this evening were cancelled, or when I was delayed getting to all my destinations, and not finding what I was looking for, or fret about what I had forgotten to bring along, did I take the events as a negative. I just thought, well, the universe must have something even better in store for me.

Connecting to Divinity

We come into this world with eyes wide open full of unconditional love and wonderment. We rely on those with more experience, mother, father, older sister, brother, grand mom and grand dad, teacher, religious leader and more to help, instruct or guide us. We form friendships early in life with other young impressionable minds that we meet in our neighborhoods and schools. 

For some of us, there are other teachers who have been guiding us since that time, as well. Some call them guardian angels, some spirit guides, some Jesus, some Isa. You can call it the Mack Daddy Energy Force, I do not judge what you call it because I believe that spiritualism transcends religion. They come to our inner holy trinity, that some call our chi, our chakras, our minds, hearts and souls as we connect to them and we are all guided by their queues. And if you are fortunate at various times in your life or your entire life, you may actually see or speak to them and hear their audible answers. And these benevolent teachers do not judge and attempt to control us with reward or punishment, like we do when training a puppy. They never say, bad boy, bad girl because they only have unconditional love, understanding and patience as they walk with and in us as we experience both the pleasant and unpleasant in this physical existence.

Once you truly know that you are with them or they are with and within you, fear, anger, anxiety, worry, guilt, shame, resentment, judgment and all other ‘negative’ emotions, or what I call lower vibrations fall away, and there is only room for higher vibrations, those of peace, compassion, bliss, and unconditional love to take their place as you are transformed. Other’s opinion or judgment of you is meaningless as you take each step knowing that you’re never alone and a force more grand than any human allows you to accomplish anything. Every second is another opportunity to live in that love.

When you know that we are all stardust connected to the source you're no longer bound by laws, yet you would never do anything that is not for your highest good or the highest good of others, so stealing, lying, cheating or treating yourself or others with any form of disrespect never enters your mind. You are more easily forgiving and have compassion and a true sense of unconditional love for all creatures large and small and want to help everyone you see as you live a happier existence.  Yes, you may still have experiences of things that are less than pleasant, but they no longer effect you, because your core is solid. 

And OMG, you're shown the most wondrous things that are literally out of this world, like one of the Divine Fragrances, Roses, when you’re connected and in a space of total unconditional love; or the incredible light, brighter than the sun when you close your eyes in pitch darkness as you lay your head to rest. Your body becomes a vessel that is filled with an indescribable sensation of continual bliss.

I wish that more people knew about and experienced this almost indescribable connection that is more delicious than ANYTHING that this foodie has ever tasted or any physical experience on this planet, even BACON.

It would be such a beautiful existence for them if they did.

Wishing you a day filled with love and blessings,

Discover Patience When Trying Something New



I don’t know about most of you, but I always love to try new things.


I am in the process of performing some ‘light’ editing of my own website and blog. I have had to change html code. This is new for me and as with all new things, uncomfortable. I may seem more technical than the average person, because I understand technology well enough to navigate a 'dumb user' tool or wizard. But I'm not really technical, despite an old job title of Tech VP. where it was not necessary for management to write or understand code. Their expertise lies in managing technical staff and projects and are the whipping boys and girls if the project does not make budget, milestone dates or if the code is broken in production.  

In the past, I have always handed a 'spec' to one of those wonderful Technical Gods, as I call them, and like magic, the code was written, inserted and tested. They spoke to in basic terms, knowing that all I have is a high-level understanding of technical concepts as well as the names of the upstream and downstream systems the application they work on interacts with.

Long gone are the days when I could pick up the phone and ask those Gods for help, so I find myself searching through technical forums for answers to my basic questions. It has caused me several opportunities.

It was such an interesting reaction that it made me sit back and take notice, analyzing the parts of me that still need work.  I was uncomfortable and frustrated and that manifested into a whopper of a headache.

‘Ah,’ I thought, ‘is there some learning lesson here?’

The lesson was pretty straightforward:
Cut yourself some slack and show yourself some patience. Stop beating yourself up because you do not know everything. As in all things in life, it takes time. Rome was not built in a day!

Food for thought the next time you try something new and realize that you are not immediately the next Michael Jordan.

A day filled with LOVE,

You ARE What You Think


Someone shared a graphic that said “Talk more about your blessings than your problems." These are good words to live by, but let me go a bit further. 

We ARE what we allow to penetrate and consume our minds. Before any words come out of that place where we also inject that savory sensation, bacon, first we have to think them. 

Focusing on negativity, whether it be a past unpleasant situation or a less than bright future shows in everything we do, including our conversations with others. But don't get a chain and whip yourself, my dears, because it happens to all of us at times. 

We are one big mass of vibrations: waves and frequencies and our being gets its queue on what to vibrate from what our mind is focused on. 

What you think also has an effect on your physical body and your spirit. If you're focusing on potential failure, or the guy who cut you off on the road the other day or the EX who did you wrong and won't leave you alone, then it invades your day, plagues your mind and becomes your reality. Don’t dwell on unpleasant situations. You're just giving them more power as you become what you think and continue to be a master of making a mountain from a small pile of manure. Look at it this way. In the approximate 2,428,272,000 seconds that you're on this planet, it's just a spec of dust, so don't be a 'negative Nancy.' 

Remember that you ARE what you think. SO think about SUCCESS, warm fuzzy slippers, and that delicious kiss that lasted over an hour as you gazed into the eyes of that god or goddess. Or you could, like me, think about BACON and smile wide.  Or focus on that incredible sunset and the appreciation of the intoxicating fragrance of that flower. If you do then you will most likely vibrate LOVE and it will show in the glow of your face as well as in your heart.. 

Notice those moments when you're focused on other than LOVE and take time to focus on something not mind related, like the feeling of your breath as it touches the inside of your nostrils. By doing so you’ll gain a sense of peace and LOVE will come. And with love in your heart comes wondrous things and new adventures.

Gee, isn't that delicious!

Wishing you Love this day and always,
LeeZa Donatella

Face Conflicts Head on with Love


There was something in me that has always tried to placate and please everyone. I just couldn’t understand why everyone did not just love me; what’s not to love, I am funny, modest (lol), loving, fun, honest and generous.  And as far as conflict, well…. generally, in my personal life, I have been a conflict avoider, retreating when faced with confrontation. I am a lover, not a fighter after all.  I really don’t know where I got that trait from, because it certainly didn’t come from either my mom or dad.

I had recently received some information regarding an upcoming event where I could be facing something uncomfortable and perhaps even down right unpleasant. I had to stop and think about my initial reaction to this information, which was reconsidering going to the event. Well there, I thought, are you a woman or a mouse for goodness sake?

So it begs the question: when do you run and when do you stand, when do you hide, and when do you turn back around?

Answer: Never turn your back on an opportunity to grow. Face them with happiness, courage, fortitude and anticipation. Hey sweeties, not everyone in this world thinks that you are the next best thing since the invention of sliced bread and if you actually are and they can’t see that, well then they are the ones who are blind. Everyone does not have to love you, and actually some may hate you, not because you have done something to them that is worthy of the animosity that they display toward you, but because they still live in the misery of their own mind. Instead of allowing them to give you that present of seething hatred that they have for themselves, show them only love and compassion.

So the message today is this: Never run, always stand, never hide, turn and face the world with your head held high. Just do it with LOVE and it will all work out for the best!

See the Wonder and Excitement.



The world is full of such wonder and excitement. We have such a blessed life here on Earth and I find it funny how most of us don’t see nor appreciate what’s right in front of our noses.

And no I'm not talking about your Porsche there honey; although red is a good color on you.

I'm talking about the trees and the sand, the touch of a hand, the chill of the breeze and the force of a sneeze.

It’s the warmth of the sun or that hot cinnamon bun, the lemon that makes your lips pucker, oh, is there any species luckier…….. than us?

It’s the opportunity to spend time in forest or by the sea or in the red mountains full of resilient desert creatures, yet most of us miss the trees, because when we spend time in these places we are thinking about this or that, the dog or the cat, that upcoming test or if the kids left the house in a mess. Turmoil.. we feed on it.  There's a great line in the movie the American President where Michael Douglas says:  

".... they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand. ........ People don't drink the sand 'cause they're thirsty. They drink the sand 'cause they don't know the difference."

So I am hear today telling you the difference... open your baby blues or browns or hazels and so forth and see and experience the wonder in front of us; smell the roses more often; they're there for us to enjoy, not just one day a year, but every day. When we learn to appreciate the gift of this existence, we become the richest people on the planet!

Have a day filled with LOVE,

Never lose your ability to laugh at yourself

Today’s blog posting is about our ability to laugh at ourselves. Okay, so no one wants to be at the center of someone else’s joke, but we have to remember that even if we are it’s just a fart in the wind. Get over it!

The ability to laugh at our imperfections is priceless, no matter our age, education or beliefs. Being a spiritualist I encounter so many people that are so serious about themselves. Lighten up baby. We are all human in this incarnation of ourselves. And as humans we are not always perfect, so I don’t try to be and laugh at myself when I’m not. Actually, I just watched some of the Nespresso commercial George Clooney did on YouTube and I was laughing out loud at his ability not to take himself so seriously. I loved it!

So, cut yourself some slack and laugh out loud when you do something silly. What’s the worst that can happen? You show your humanness to someone else?

Practice Peace


The life of a spiritualist can be filled with challenges as we clear the lower vibrations that keep us from ascending. To stay in a total space of peace all the time and have only unconditional love and compassion for everyone 24/7 and not fall victim to lower vibrations, even occasionally, is certainly an opportunity for positive growth. 

Sometimes I wonder how Jesus and Buddha did it. But it's worth the challenge as we free ourselves from the misery of the mind. 

When I was at the Vipassana retreat, living like a monk it was easy to be in a place of peace, love and harmony, ignoring the other 40 or so people that were at the center who were also there for the same purpose. In the real world that most of us live in, however, there are many distractions from peace, especially when you are sensitive to other people's vibrations and energy. I find that most people live in misery, not because they want to, but because that is what's comfortable to them.

No Pill for Bliss


Wouldn’t it be great if you could take a pill and have instant peace and bliss in your life and all your fears, worries and frustration would disappear? Oh if there was a pill for that, then its creator would be a billionaire. Contrary to popular belief, Joy and Bliss do not come in pill form. Nor do they come in the form of a specialized plant that you can smoke or drink that you can consume. Now, I’m not against the correct usage of Xanax and other anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. Nor am I against moderate drinking and the use of Marijuana for medical purposes or occasional use.

But I think that as society begins to awaken, people are getting more and more confused, frustrated and afraid. They are no longer buying into the 2-by-2 illusion that most of society lives in and are reaching out for something to numb them.

All I have to say is I HEAR YOU!   Like some of you I looked for what numbed me; I was not particular, reaching out for food or nonstop TV and internet surfing to dull the pain. That was my brand of anesthetic since I have always had little physical tolerance for drugs and alcohol. I was frustrated and miserable with what I was doing with my life, chained to a desk as I became more aware. One day I decided that it was time to take action.

Instead of continuing to numb myself, I traded in my corporate laptop for a backpack and a dream. Yes, it was hard giving up the hefty weekly paycheck I received and taking that first step into the unknown, the darkness. I was afraid, but I stepped off that cliff with courage because I had to believe that one of two things would happen. I would either step on solid ground or be taught how to fly. It seems like a lifetime ago, now, just 1 year later. As I look back I often catch myself thinking, ‘Was that really me, back then, stuck in the corporate hamster wheel?  

At this time I may not have a large bank account or toys and I journey without a life partner. What I do have is determination to take my life in a more rewarding direction following my dream as a writer and have a renewed appreciation of the sunrise and sunset as well as peace, joy and bliss as I cherish the opportunities to volunteer and serve others as well as spend time with heart-centered people who have made a difference in my life. That my dears is priceless!

Special thanks to Jesaca, Mesha, Calah, Mynzah, Richard and Kereth, who have showed me the love of friendship this past year as I continue my journey of spiritual and personal growth.

All Roads Lead to the Center of Things - YOU

I am not ashamed to tell you that even I get confused.  At times, I have no idea what each day will bring, feeling as if I am being pulled in an altered direction that makes me question things. Nothing that would prove to be a malady or negative situation, mind you, just the possibility of taking a slightly different path that leads to the same destination.  Am I currently on an ancillary road and do these recent meetings signify a new directional calling?

Did you ever come to a crossroads? So often in my life I have come to that road, the place where there is a fork. Which way do I go? What path do I take?   Sometimes I feel like John, called to withdraw in meditation, listening as he lived on the island of Patmos and wrote. Not that I am comparing my writing to Revelations, of course, but what I'm called to do is greater than just one person.  I do this while still wanting to be of service to the community here on this small plot of the Earth, since I believe that it’s important to be of service wherever we find ourselves.

I sat on the beach with my head in my hands confused, asking for guidance.  Today there would be no audible answer provided. Or would there? I walked back to the small beachside restaurant. The answer came in the form of a meeting with some incredible people who were quoting Edgar Casey.

I look out onto the ocean and sigh, knowing that there has to be a way to find the balance I am seeking.

Remember that with whatever decisions you make, all roads lead to the center of things- YOU. Moreover, all paths of service and love lead to that universal energy force, God.

Wishing you blessings and a great day,
