    Donald Harold Young was successful business leader, living the American dream, but a very unhappy person. Something was missing from his life. So, he chased what he thought would make him happy: reputation, physical desires, and everything the material world has to offer. However, Don reinvented himself, his heart and his life in his 50s after he surrendered himself to God and to Love. Then, his whole being became filled with a deep sense of peace and gratitude after years of unhappiness and selfishness. I recently had the chance to interview Donald about his life and upcoming memoir, Finding God in Vegas: Reimagining the American Dream. In our conversation Donald talks about: His journey from a material life marketing pharmaceuticals focused on worldly success to a more spiritual life His decision to pursue his passion instead of money How he is able to trust in God throughout his journey How his sexuality as a gay man affected his journey and advice for other people who may be struggling with their sexuality Suggestions for other people who want to reinvent themselves and follow their passions How he believes his purpose is to creating more love; and meaningful actions he has taken to do that such as volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada. Donald was very authentic and honest about how his journey from being focused on material success to a more spiritual life has filled him with greater peace and freedom. However, he also shares that he experiences anxiety and doubt about trusting in God. One of the most profound and practical insights Donald shared with me is that it is okay and normal to trust in God even if we are still feeling doubts and anxiety. He also shares his daily practices and helpful beliefs for dealing with his anxiety and doubts.

She shares on her website: “it never occurred to me to see grief as a journey of transformation, or to find the blessings in the grieving process, or about allowing myself to grow into the state of living with grief. I had to figure it out by myself. It was a lonely path of self-discovery that was not mainstream and not accepted.” She decided to retire, sell her house, and went on a two-and-a-half year journey that took her all over the world on a search for meaning in her tragic loss.

    Stephen Chong is the author of The Afterlife, a Journey To. ‘The Afterlife' is a book that takes the reader into and through Heaven's many levels or portals – a bit like a scenic railway tour. The book is written as a novel. Stephen explains the book was written around the time when horrendous stories were emerging about the abuse of children within religious orders and other institutions. He then wrote a short story (essentially, chapter one of the book) about what happens after death to those complicit in the process of denial and abuse. One of the principal characters - ‘the Bishop', upon his death, has to face the consequences of his actions - in this case, his self-righteousness and insouciance to the truth. For the narrator, Athar, his is a journey told from the horrors of abuse by the clergy and his subsequent suicide, that plots his path through heaven with the sword of forgiveness in his right hand and the scepter of love in his left. In our conversation we talk about the following: What the different levels of Heaven look like in his book How people can continue to grow, evolve, and practice forgiveness in Heaven How children and people with physical disabilities are taken care of in Heaven His beliefs about life after death Stephen's ideas about Heaven and the Afterlife helped me increase my faith and hope that my loved ones and myself would be taken care of after death. It also encouraged me to live my life in a way that is more consistent with my Soul Purpose.  For more information please visit his website at: http://www.stephenchong.com.au.

    John J. Spitzer, M.D. is the author of Finding God Again and Again. He is a practicing pediatrician in private practice and also a clinical assistant professor in pediatric medicine. He lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with his wife, Anne, and has two young adult children, Tim and Patty. With two young children and a loving wife, the stakes were high when John J. Spitzer found out his testicular cancer had returned after thirteen years. The relapse forced him to confront his mortality—and a second relapse drove the point home. The setbacks also gave him a great opportunity to become one with God. In Finding God Again and Again, Spitzer looks back at how it took over twenty years of life experiences to realize that he had to feel God in his heart again—and not just think of God. I recently had the chance to talk to John about his book, spirituality, and life experiences. In our conversation, John talks about the following: His spiritual development over 20 years How testicular cancer helped him grow his faith Specific techniques John uses to let go and surrender his will to God to better understand what God wants him to do with his life, including in work and family situations What John feared and did not fear when he confronted his own death Advice John has for others who are going through difficult life challenges, including how to never feel alone, how to receive guidance, and how to find your purpose and faith during life challenges
