When a human spirit soars into its greatness it ignites other people’s imagination and gives them permission to step into their greatness too.  Consider Mandela, Branson, Obama – all examples of people who have embraced their true power… which is why this video has whizzed around the world and has over 40 million views on YouTube.

Astrid Fleming is a DARING dreamer.  She came to a Dream Mapping and Goal Setting workshop in 2007 and this year she has just launched her first novel called “White Nights” which is a dream come true for her!

Here’s an email she sent through to me…

Most gorgeous Donna,

Thank you sooooooooooo much for your divine support! You are such a darling. You’re absolutely right, this is a HUGE dream!  It’s amazing how one gets derailed by life, corporates and everything in between and then the universe gives you a massive shove (I suspect much like your epiphany on the bus, though mine happened on a yoga mat!) and you end up in exactly the right place!

And then the universe supports you! Exclusive Books has been wonderful, completely supportive and very enthusiastic. They’ve come up with ideas, suggestions and are stocking more copies of the book than I could possibly dream. Thank you so much for putting the story of the novel in your newsletter! I can’t thank you enough! My obscenely marvellous goal for this year (and yes, it makes me tremble with the audacity of it!) is to get White Knights picked up by an international publisher, launched internationally, and to land a major 2 book deal… so that I can focus entirely on the next novel which is hovering in my dreams. I tremble with the excitement of it! Grin grin grin.

Sending loads of love,
A

And I was fortunate to attend her recent book launch and this is what she had to say

A little about the book of course….

White Knights tells the tale of Emma Cooper, an ambitious young investment banker who leaves her family in London and her long-time love in Africa to make her millions on Wall Street. There she finds that corporate finance is far less glamorous, and the Big Apple far more rotten, than she ever expected.
