3. Time does not stop the laughter that comes with beautiful memories.
4. Twenty eight years later, one can feel like they are still grieving.
5. We fall short in society in offering ways to hold people in grief.

Take 25 minutes over lunch to nourish your soul!

Donna Mathiowetz is an inspirational speaker and author, who strives to leave a legacy of hope, healing, and forgiveness by sharing her story of loss, grief, and resiliency.

Donna’s most recent book is titled What Have You Done Since I Left? She also wrote A Journal for Your Journey, and created the Journey Card Deck.    

Loss enters our lives in many ways, whether through death, declining health, loss of independence, or dreams that never came to fruition. Donna’s own story is a powerful example of how it is possible to not just survive but to thrive after loss.

Donna has been married to her wonderful husband, Dick, for 48 years. Together they have four children (including three children fostered from three different countries), and three precious grandchildren.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, Nada and Donna discuss: 

1. Donna’s story of losing her 16-year-old son, Timm.
2. How adopting a terminally-ill, teenaged boy named Oleg contributed to Donna’s healing.
3. How Donna and Dick’s journey through loss and grief helped others feel hope.
4. How Donna and her family came to terms with the deaths of Timm and Oleg.

  Key takeaways: 

• Life-altering circumstances can either derail us from life, or determine our growth.
• Puzzle pieces of life and the human spirit can help us discover our true potential and depths of love for another.
• There are no guarantees of how long our loved ones will be here. Love them deeply today.
• Using our experiences of deep grief and pain helps others heal, as well as ourselves.
• When life changes so drastically, you can choose a different way.

See Andrea’s bio and listen to Part 1 of Nada and Andrea’s Dare Ah New Belief conversation here.

In Part 2, Nada and Andrea discuss: 

1. The importance of starting your day with mindful and purposeful energy
2. How goal setting changes our thoughts and outcomes
3. How energy works to ensure that our goals are met
4. Training the brain to follow you vs the brain leading you
5. The importance of breathing and divine order

  Key takeaways: 

• It’s better to do something 15 minutes every day than 30 minutes once a week
• Big is a relative term, nothing is big unless we make it big
• There’s a certain energy that is present when it is right in front of you every day
• Something happens in our brain when we write things down

If you seek a gentle & easy yet highly effective exercise, Qigong is a perfect answer.   It is slow, gentle movement combined with coordinated breathing and mindful intent.  You will find yourself calmer, with better coordination and flexibility, better breathing habits, and increased balance, among other benefits.
