Meet Dona

Hello & Thank You 

for clicking on the link to meet me.

I'd like to help your Life feel
easier, smoother & more relaxing ...



Roots to Breath Wellness
is my way to help You, and it offers a mixture of things to support ease and promote your everyday wellness for the whole body, mind and spirit.  

I Remember what it was like to end the days from work and other activities tired and everything hurt.

What I'll be sharing doesn't last just one day. 
These weekly (Tuesday) posts will help you to build a wellness toolbox - a mix of comfortable resources to return to again and again.

Here's how. 
1) I'll share with You a mixture of stories, entertainment, poems, videos, photos & more to help you laugh, sing or just relax and absorb life and simple self care wellness moments.

2) Another way to help is to introduce you to my books - Simply, One Breath At a Time and Moving Forward from the Heart.

3) In addition to connecting you to moments to pause, breathe, gratitude and mindfulness they share simple ways to reduce stress, support your lives and they remind us to Notice those new now moments.

 Beginner Friendly, 

No Experience Required...


Background - In 2000 I finally started learning yoga and later thought I'd add yoga teacher training to my Retirement to do list to help me learn how to feel better and relax.


After moving to beautiful Vancouver Island in 2002 that was the only thing on my list that I did do.  

Later I started writing and I found these writings created a time to let go of more stress and become more aware of the present moment. 

It became a time full of healing gifts for myself and others.



The self-care and wellness moments had huge valuable results.

It may feel slow and uncomfortable in the beginning because it's something new but soon the awareness and feelings of wellness arrive quicker and easier in ways you may not even notice at first.  

Some days you may only have time for a few words, a paragraph or a thought and that's OK. 

The beauty is that it builds up over time and you carry it with you. 

Soon, my life was heading
in a totally new direction.

I started to feel better, to be better and wanted more.

Later In addition to the Yoga training and various other workshops I also became a Reflexology practitioner and learned the wonderful healing practice of Reiki.

As my awareness and exploration grew, so did I ...


Even to the extent that some of what I was doing took me to various levels of discomfort, but I continued and found that some things we are worst at can turn out to become our best or favorite things if we give them a chance. 
 
The gifts become part of your daily wellness. 


Do you need any of this?

 Is this for You?

 Is it time to get started?

 Gifts for a Lifetime

I wouldn't have a blog if I didn't write the books, and if I left the pages on my computer or my desk, it would totally take away from what I was meant to do - Help you and others.  

 So for me, this became my dream ... 


 my gift to share with you and others around the World!


I’ve had many mantras over the past several years from Why Not, to  Loving my life Now and for 2019 and up to now I've been using  Keeping Life Simple and all that comes along with that. 

 We all only have this today each day we wake up and I want to honor how I live it more fully.

The comment below appeared a couple of days ago on a popular post I shared back in 2016 that still travels the world. It's always a special moment when someone takes the time to give feedback especially when it's as positive as this one. A gift for my heart.
"It's a pity you don't have a donate button! I'd without a doubt donate to this outstanding blog! I guess for now I'll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will share this website with my Facebook group. Talk soon!"


These are unusual Moments in Time
for us to experience with patience, love and kindness.

Please stay safe and support your family, 
friends, neighbors, community and our beautiful World.

Thank You.

Love this quote.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have
 a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.
