Our world is shifting dramatically around us. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, adrift, or disturbed in the sea of change. Diane points us toward the calming, practical, and sea-worthy Divine wisdom and guidance behind life that becomes dramatically apparent with presence and deep listening. Her lovely personal and professional stories and commentary weave a beautiful picture of what a life infused with inner wisdom looks and feels like. She points to an understanding, known as the Three Principles, that shows us how to have more continuous awareness of the wisdom we seek. -Linda Sandel Pettit, Ed.D. Co-Owner, Three Principles Intervention, LLC; Retired Counseling Psychologist
I have waited patiently for years for Diane to tell her remarkable story to the world, and it was well worth the wait. Insightful, heart-wrenching, funny, powerful, inspiring, and of course, happy. Diane's story not only brilliantly conveys the message of Sydney Banks's Three Principles (Mind, Consciousness, and Thought), but shines as an example of the rise of the sacred feminine, something all women will resonate with, joyously.-Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D. Author of Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water
Diane Houde has had a winding career and life path. The Three Principles provided the understanding that allowed her to fully embrace the human experience and the creative intelligence that flows behind our personal thinking. Her passion for learning from life experiences led to sharing her insights in this teaching memoir. Today, Diane's coaching practice has evolved into journeying with individuals who know that their current life situations are not all that they are intended to be. Awakening to a calling, a yearning, a soul mission-whatever name you might give it-can create some instability in our lives. How we respond to the pull that is demanding our attention is a defining moment. Coaching clients through this transition has become the central focus of her work. She holds a Master of Arts in Leadership from Royal Roads University and a Holistic Stress Management Instructor Certificate from Paramount Wellness Institute and she has completed training in Evidence-Based Coaching at Fielding Graduate University.
