Donnie, thank you for standing by  me during the darkest months of my life.  I will never forget you or what you have done for me.  It has made an enormous difference in my life.  I feel like I am back to normal now but better.  I have given up smoking, started working out on a regular basis, reduced my alcohol intake and opened my own restaurant in Philadelphia, PA.  Please don't ever forget me.                Chris Hora, Philadelphia, PA

Donnie has been of enormous benefit to me as she has coached me to determine the direction of my life and my self-worth.  She is unfailingly attentive to me and entirely non-judgmental as I explore this new territory.  But most importantly, Donnie coaches in a way that is always and absolutely positive, affirming and caring.                      Carol N. - Houston, TX

Through the great interactions with Donnie Day as my coach, I have been able to focus on the important aspects of my art business and have been able to manifest expansion into new markets.  Being blessed to be a full time artist, I always find it necessary to connect with people who can help expand and move me into directions that amplify exposure.  Donnie Day is one of those rare souls who possess this ability.        -John P. - Houston, TX

Donnie's ability to encourage me to think about how I react, how I think and how I process the every day activities in and around both my personal and business life has been invaluable.   - M.L. - Branch Manager of a Bank

Through Donnie's coaching and compassion, I have found myself well on my way to understanding the importance of ME in both my personal and professional life.  The tools and interaction that Donnie shared with me supported the goals that I brought to her; for this I am grateful to have her in my life.  I still have much to learn and hope to continue coaching with Donnie.                                                               Tom C. - Houston, TX

Donnie's coaching has helped me so much to tune into myself.  Donnie has encouraged me to think of my life and my career in ways other than I have before.  She has, in a way, given me "permission" to explore aspects of my inner life that no one has helped me to to before, simply by asking me to look at them and consider them from a new perspective.  I have found such a new perspective on my life since I've been working with her, and this has been a real breakthrough for me.  She is wonderfully down-to-earth, and she has become someone I rely on for words of wisdom and guidance for my spirit to become more peaceful.             Karen - Technical Editor & Writer

My experience with Donnie's coaching has been very positive.  She is incredibly caring and responsive, and she provides an invaluable and refreshing perspective into some of life's most difficult challenges.  I recommend her heartily to my friends and business associates.   - Nancy H. 

Donnie is a no-nonsense, practical, compassionate and wise individual who has made an enormous contribution to my business and to the quality of my life.  My business is more successful, runs more smoothly, and requires less of my time.  My personal life is more peaceful and I have a higher quality of life than I ever dreamed of.  I have better relationships than ever before.  Additionally, Donnie is energetic, vivacious and fun!  Lucky are the clients who are smart enough to choose her as their coach.  George B.  

The following is an acrostic poem written about Donnie and the work she does with both clients and workshop attendees.  Titled: DONNIE DAY

Devoted to helping others find what they were meant to be - helping them dare to risk, to make mistakes, to find out what doesn't work as much as what does work.  

Open to what life has to offer - not closed to opportunities hidden under the guise of a challenge.

Noticing the impact we have on one another - a network of support for each other because we are not really self-sufficient.

Nurturing us as we embark on a road sometimes less traveled to discovering what we already hold in our hands and are just waiting until we unfold our fingers one by one.

Instructing and inspiring others as a model - showing us we have all the answers within us - helping us to be open to our heart's pain.

Encouraging us to establish boundaries in our lives, to respect ourselves and others - to provide balance in our lives.

Defining the importance of developing a spiritual life - finding what we embrace in the stillness of our inner world creates what we experience in our outer reality.

Awakening us to take advantage of the negatives we see and learn to use this awareness to embark on a new adventure.

Yearning - the unquenchable desire to find the passions we all possess - the pull of the magnet towards what it is that deeply satisfies us and without which we cannot live.
