This is the inspirational true story of a woman's journey towards self-discovery and realization! Joanne dreamt of a Yoga Retreat in sunny Italy, but found herself with a half built house in the hills and struggling to bring up four children. Yet through adversity she realizes that problems can be blessings in disguise as there is a reason to every relationship and a purpose to every situation. In the course of telling her story and baring her soul many people from all walks of life will relate to her difficult and sometimes shocking situations that are forcing her to change! Through her awakening she gives hope to readers by using spiritual practices, eternal truths and secrets to life that teach us how to cultivate peace and love and to develop happiness and compassion. In her engaging memoir Joanne draws from 17 years of experience teaching yoga, but this is not solely a book for readers that practice the discipline; it's a book about fulfilling your spiritual purpose, manifesting your material goals and learning to love yourself, all beings and our magnificent Mother Earth. Dreaming of a Divine Life is a book for all of you who want to transform yourselves, enhance your lives and create change and unity in our world.
