Fifty some years ago today, November 5th, a baby girl was born who would one day grow up to be a major Spiritual Leader. She would be one of two individuals in the world who lead The Shadow Process, a life-changing weekend for the fearless. She would impact hundreds of thousands of people through the use of her powerful voice.
Today is the birthday of Donna Lipman. As a girl, she would tell you she was painfully shy and anxious to please all around her. She did not see herself as a powerful teacher, brilliant seminar leader, or gifted singer. Donna saw herself as perhaps unlovable and/or not quite good enough. Many grow up believing much of what Donna believed.
How did she, a mouse of a girl, turn it all around? She opened her heart. There is a story of Donna as a young girl passing a coveted award she was presented with on to another girl whom everyone teased and belittled. Able to feel the emotional pain of others, turned Donna towards kindness and a life of helping.
Today, Donna Lipman is the woman who organizes and markets the art work of a gifted friend. She is the woman who will stay up until 2:00 a.m. to take one more coaching call from a distraught client. She is the woman who is is still working and studying while the rest of us are watching a movie or having a glass of wine. She is the voice that begins a song first thing in the morning and you can still hear her singing as she is turning off the light. Her talent freely given to anyone who asks for it. Her ear always available to listen to the drama of her many friends. Donna is available.
Donna Lipman is the president of What One Man Can Do. She is the role model for contribution. When her beloved husband Terry was alive, the couple were continually involved in any and all programs that would promote human development. A friend of John Denver's, Donna also sang with Denver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mxWPd3MiCM She has a her own CD and is a regular in the Austin music arena.
There does not seem to be an end to Lipman's contribution and creativity. At this wrting, Donna seems to have no enemies or detractors. She is loved by all who know her.
Her Action: Show 100%, 100% of the time.
