Hi, I'm Dorma!

My journey discovering the power of words started about 25 years ago when I experienced a whirlwind of failure and loss.  I was going through a divorce, suddenly lost my job, my home and plummeted into financial decline at the same time.  Dropping a not-too-subtle hint, a good friend and psychotherapist gave me a cassette tape (dating myself) of daily affirmations and challenged me to speak them aloud for 30 days.  Having nothing left to lose, I gave it a try not knowing that I was tapping into an infinite gold mine.  My life changed in dramatic fashion as I morphed from victim to victor.  My next home was far better than my last, I launched a successful career instead of just getting another job, and my relationships transformed.  The biggest change was in my relationship with GOD as my prayers transitioned from complaining about my "as is" to believing and praising HIM for my "to be" status.  My faith soared as I saw my ideal become real - the seeming impossible become easy - and the inaccessible become mine. 

​

I realized my words not only reversed the adverse effects of my past, but began shaping my future - for better and for worse.  Since then, every undesired circumstance I've faced forced me to confront the source - what have I been saying?.  This ignited my obsession to discover how this stuff works, and my search led me from the present day to "the beginning".  I found that the Bible recorded over 850 ways our words can create pleasant or regrettable circumstances for us or those around us.  As "there's nothing new under the sun", I found these same examples active today.

​

I don't consider myself  a guru or a spiritual maven because I've made colossal mistakes over my lifetime, (but I have learned from them).  As you browse this site, you won't find advice or tips based on my anecdotal evidence (that would be a pretty boring blog).  Instead, you will learn from the experiences of a myriad of people (ancient and modern) that what not to do, is as important as what not to say.
