About Food For The Soul™

In the early 2000’s, I discovered  Zig Ziglar’s quote: “People often say motivation doesn’t last.  Neither does bathing–that’s why we recommend it daily.” That moment sparked an epiphany; being inspired isn’t a one-time event–it’s a practice that needs daily nurturing.

I began my morning ritual of reviewing an inspirational quote and setting an intention for the day.  I got so much out of this that I started sharing these insights with friends.  Their enthusiasm inspired me to officially  launch Food For The Soul™ at a charming neighborhood cafe, The Broken Cup, in 2007.

Meet Donna Marie

I’m Donna Marie. creator of Food For The Soul and a passionate for gratitude, joy, and inspiration.  Born and raised in Jamaica (the Caribbean–not Queens, New York!). I’ve called the United States home for over 30 years. I am blessed with work I love, extraordinary friendships and partnerships, and a life rich with mind-expanding adventures.. 

My curiosities span from nature and sports to movies, live performances, and art.  But what truly drives me is viewing life–and being human–as an exciting exploration.

The Journey Within

This exploration has taken me to workshops, seminars, retreats, and transformative experiences around the globe, all in pursuit of expressing my authentic self and living in Soul Flow.  Through this journey of self-discovery. I have learned that the key to living fully is surprisingly simple: staying aware, awake and attuned to the magic and miracle of each moment.  In essence, being present.

Since this is ultimately an inside job, I needed ways to nurture this awareness and find daily inspiration to bring this mindset to life. This desire gave birth to Food For The Soul™, an inspirtainment website dedicated to feeding the spirit.
