Loss & Love
Over the course of just four years, Debra experienced unimaginable loss: two brothers, two children, and her father all passed away.
Debra asked herself a simple question: What would they want from me?
The people who love us want us to be happy – so Debra decided she would honor the people who have passed by living a happy life, living her joy, and sharing the power of living in courage.

“Everything you need is inside of you. Tap into that… You’ll find the answers.”
Debra’s book introduces readers to the seven concepts that form her belief system:
- Conscious Choice
- Wisdom
- Love
- Purity
- Concentrated Illumination
- Peace
- Rhythm
After going over each concept, Debra shares a personal storyboard and offers a blank one for the reader to fill out. She also includes a movie treatment telling the same story two different ways, with two different endings, showing how your conscious choices affect the outcome of your life.
