Danét Palmer: Face yourself instead of bettering your self
Author and minister Danét Palmer joins us to discuss her new book, "Baptized by Love: How I Found Present Joy and Never Let It Go." Bio: 35 years ago, Danét made an appointment with divinity. It turned out to be the single most life-changing decision of her life — to dedicate her first few wakening moments to The Divine, and her own spiritual awakening. To open to Love and keep her heart open no matter what — to make unconditional love happiness her spiritual path.She has kept this daily appointment ever since, and by surrendering her thoughts and emotions to Divine Love, she learned that Divine Love is the true nature of who she is and who we all are. From this base, she attracted the theosophy of A Course in Miracles where she learned to forgive false beliefs and embody the truth of innate worth in herself and everyone. She continues to live this philosophy that joy is the way of love and the practice of aligning our thinking with love, and act accordingly.She practices and teaches and that we can change our thought system from fear-based thinking to thoughts that are governed by love and goodwill toward others, always.A Metaphysical Minister by profession, Danét worked as an inspirational pragmatic coach for many years. During that time, she helped create and facilitate intensive workshops and has also facilitated groups as well as individual and couples counseling, helping others to let go of the past and choose the path of present joy.She remains passionate about spreading the message of inspiration through joy — articulating and sharing wisdom in a joyful, synchronizing way. As a professional author and podcaster, Danét is also passionate about creating a ‘Yummy Way Movement’ with a worldwide community committed to living joy.She has a weekly podcast, The Yummy Way – With Parker & Danét which she cohosts with her son Parker. And has another book on the way. So, stay tuned!She currently resides in New Mexico with her yummy husband, Lar, appreciating the gift of life each day brings.HELP LINES: If you want go from feeling hopeless to hopeful, lonely to connected and like a burden to a blessing, then go to 1-on-1 coaching, go to www.thrivewithleo.com.
