Donna Martini
"When we help others rise, we rise with them."
"The more we lay fault and blame, the more things will stay the same."
"No one can ever simultaneously be a victim and a victor."
"Refuse to grow old. Instead, grow potential."
"Build someone up or knock them down; it's all in the way we decide to swing that hammer."
"We can prevent a quarrel with love more effectively than we can fight one with hate."
"Pushing out love from our hearts is easy.
It's pushing out judgment from our minds that is the issue."
"Love is the only sovereignty worth pursuing; the only shield worth wearing."
"Yes, there is strength in numbers, but when in doubt that we each can single-heartedly have a positive impact on the world, we need to remember that one is a number too."
Go angrily against what we don't want or move lovingly toward what we do want... What makes more sense?

Steering Our Country toward the Road to Wellness!
Call on me: My first attempt at writing music culminated into this Christian Rock song, co-written with JD Leonard and Michael Jewel. It is about making choices we regret and the need to call on our Higher Power to help get us out. My hope was that AA members would be inspired by it. As it turned out, many people feel it gives them strength.
Back to Life: Christopher Allan and I have a special relationship when it comes to writing music. This is a song we wrote together about heroine addiction. Our hope is to use it in a music video I have written that will help young people stay off drugs.
Open Hearts: This is the music Christopher and I wrote based on only a simple melody I played on my piano. He is so talented! It is the rough version of a soundtrack to the screenplay I am writing called "The Good, the bad, and the ugly." It is a divorce triology that exeplifies the ups, downs, and tragedies that an ugly divorce can create.
