Spiritual advisor, wife, mother, grandmother and friend Donna Spring Gulick has created a unique and lovely memoir showing how her gifts and knowledge have helped her navigate her own life while also uplifting so many others.

Donna shares personal stories revealing her human journey and the ways she came to develop and welcome the challenges of her calling. She also shares compelling stories about specific clients and group readings. Along the way, she offers examples showing how the reader can ask for and receive Guidance. Many chapters end with tools, hints and "How to..." boxes. I found myself spending extra time with these and will return to them.

This is both a spiritual book and a manual on how to approach the task of being human. I recommend it to anyone with curiosity, compassion and the desire to live life fully and honestly.

In selflessly and courageously sharing her spiritual awakening and journey with us, Donna Spring Gulick's life-- her failures and successes, lessons learned, and subsequent teachings-- become a love gift to the reader. And there is no prerequisite as to the degree or magnitude of anyone's intuitiveness. No matter how slight or bold, there is no less than or better than.

In this book, the author has given me tools to help me differentiate acts of ego vs. sincerity, and guidance for trusting my intuition, and myself. Donna has shined her light on me, and empowered me to discover and cherish my own.
