About Us
I’m Donna Marie, creator of Food For The Soul and passionate about 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.
While my interests span nature, sports, film, theater, art, and beyond, I’m most fascinated by the journey of being human—approaching life as a practice of discovery fueled by curiosity. This has drawn me to attend transformative workshops, seminars, and retreats, all in service of expressing my authentic self and living in Soul Flow.
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-tme event–it’s a practice requiring daily nurturing.
Through this journey of self-discovery, I 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 cultivate this awareness and find daily inspiration to bring this mindset to life.
I began a morning ritual of reviewing an inspirational quote and setting an intention for the day. This practice transformed me so deeply that I started sharing these insights with friends. Their enthusiasm gave birth to Food For The Soul™, an inspiretainment website dedicated to feeding the spirit.
In 2007, I officially launched Food For The Soul™ at a charming neighborhood cafe, The Broken Cup.
