Hi and welcome to "Author Profile"

My vision is to inspire you to

Create Achieve and Live your Dreams.

Born and raised in north Qld Australia, Donna grew up the eldest of 3 girls. It was a normal average happy household, full of fun, excitement, socializing, travel and successful family relationships, with her awesome parents there to love and guide her.

It was a time when you could hang out in the streets till dark and ride bikes in the bush without having a mobile phone and an adult around for protection. You could also get a huge white bag of lollies from the corner shop for 20 cents. Yummo.

It was also a time when a smack was normal for back chatting. There was door slamming, yelling, screaming and fighting with her 2 gorgeous sisters. Not being allowed to do anything all her other friends were doing. Or so she thought at the time. Then there was the general teenage rebellious behavior, the grounding at home and the school detentions. Yep we've all been there done that to a certain degree. Donna chooses not to go into detail as she would hate to give new ideas to our young ones.

Since leaving high school (in those days year 10 was sufficient to get a great job) she has been a hairdresser, beautician, travel agent, resort manager, fashion consultant, a business owner, a school admin assistant, a teachers aide, a teenage mentor, an international property investor, co-founder of Rise and Shine Business Womens Breakfasts on the coast, a daughter, a sister, an aunty, a mother, a godmother, a granddaughter, a wife, a friend, and today she adds an Inspirational Author to her vast array of creative talents.

Donna met her wonderful husband in 1980, her soulmate, and traveled around the world settling back in the wonderful world of oz. They have 2 awesome teenage kids, Kyal and Kelsie. They have lived on the Sunshine Coast for the past 8 years.

These days Wayne and Donna are reliving their teenage years all over again, this time they are the parents, loving, protecting and giving advice and freedom of choice, to their two gorgeous teenagers. Sometimes the kids listen sometimes they don't. Sometimes they get it right sometimes they don't. You know what, that's all OK in the bigger scheme of things, because they are living their lives intertwined with one another and guided by each other as one of many happy healthy successful family units full of love and peace, within Our World.
