The Power of the Keyboard

Weaving words and images to advocate for Nature and justice for all sentient beings.

Aloha, I am so deeply grateful you’ve found your way here. My heart is full as I share these Soil to Soul SOULutions and the gentle path of Living Like the Future Matters with you.

For fifteen years, I had the humble privilege of serving as an open-hearted coach, walking alongside others in their journeys of wellness and purpose. Today, my activism flows through my pen, and I find such joy in it. My books are humble offerings, filled with the 'golden nuggets' of wisdom gathered over forty-five years of striving to be a SOULutionist. My hope is to offer you a kind hand and a bit of light as you navigate your own path toward personal health and a career that honors our beautiful planet.

I hope my words and the Soil to Soul Alchemy approach resonate with you.

For 37 years, long before I was a coach, my hands were deep in the craft of holistic food. Alongside my husband, Kevin, I successfully ran the Fresh Sourdough Express, a natural foods bakery and café in stunning Homer, Alaska, serving local and organic food. Fermentation and sourdough run deep in my veins. We made tons of sourdough bread and thousands of pounds of sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables, consciously connecting food, community, and planetary health.

Living in the majestic land of the Midnight Sun, surrounded by the beauty and grandeur of the landscape, penetrated my soul for the love of nature. My wonderful husband, since 1988, and 4 rescue dogs live on the Big Island of Hawaii on our Farmstead, Always In Season Farmstead Retreat, in a lovely rural community surrounded by the grandeur of a tropical paradise. Our property is nestled on 3 private acres with expansive views.

Needless to say it is a writer's dream come true to love staying home and writing, romping around with the dogs and my hubby. Inspired by the beauty, I do my best to bring joy through my words and offer ways to navigate these troubling times.

“Words for Through” worth reading.

Big love and Aloha,

Donna

A Mission Rooted in Nature

For over four decades, I have been a devoted student of the Earth, guided by the quiet belief that when we lead with compassion and moral courage, our work becomes a sacred force for healing. My mission is to help us all remember our place within the family of all sentient beings.

Through the lens of my camera and the rhythm of my keyboard, I invite you to join me in an inspiring dance of advocacy. Together, we can align our daily lives with the values of justice and kindness, prospering not at the expense of the Earth, but in beautiful harmony with her.

"The closer we get to Nature, the closer we get to our True Nature."

Three Pillars of a SOULutionist Life

01 🌍

Ethical Business

I believe that how we earn our living matters — for our souls, our communities, and the planet. Business, when led with moral courage, is the most powerful force for positive change.

"Ethical businesses, led by morally courageous people, can rapidly transform our world for the better."

02 🌿

Nature-First Living

Nature is not a backdrop to our lives — it is the source of them. The closer we align our work and rhythms with the natural world, the more vibrant and sustainable our lives become.

"The closer we get to Nature, the closer we get to our True Nature."

03

Positivity as a Practice

Positivity is not toxic optimism — it is a daily discipline of appreciation, intention, and love. It is the highest-return investment any leader can make.

"Love yields the highest return. It keeps us joyful, vibrant, and prosperous."
