From Pebbles to Pathways: A Journey of Healing the Heart One Insight at a Time

Donna Thomas started out with a self-described easier life than many, and tougher life than some. Thus began a journey fraught with loss and challenge yet inspired by insight and growth, ultimately illuminated by profound spiritual connection and understanding. The child of an alcoholic mother and roaming father who divorced when she was nine, Donna was often left alone with her brothers for days or weeks at a time. Yet despite growing up in a family ill-suited to the demands of nurturing and protecting her, Donna rejected submitting to a life of suffering, refusing to get angry, turn to apathy, or become self-destructive. Instead she devoted herself to seeking the tools and teachers to find awareness, peace, and empowerment. Embarking on numerous intriguing adventures–having experiences often steeped in mystical significance that offered her a deeper understanding of herself and her connection to all living things–Donna evolved to a place where her early personal turmoil no longer defined her. Holding nothing back, From Pebbles to Pathways is bracingly honest and deeply reflective, a powerful memoir that exemplifies the quest to find inner peace–no matter the pain of the past–while imparting that healing, hope, and wisdom exist abundantly for each of us.
