GET TO KNOW DEBORAH

Recognize that we have immediate access to God’s love, guidance, and resources at any given moment or
circumstance. We are not alone!

We learn about life through sensory experiences, experiences that influence our thoughts, feelings, and
decisions...Wherever we are, wherever we go, we are able to significantly impact or influence others
through creating a positive sensory experience. Know the power of a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or a
loving, caring touch can have transforming effects and be forever life-changing because of the influence of a
positive sensory experience.

My intention is to always be of a positive influence. I value opportunities to openly engage in enriching,
heartfelt connections. I look forward with each new day, to gladly meet and greet people wherever I go, in
whatever capacity or circumstance.

Get to know a bit about me from what others have had to say based on what they sensed from our meeting
and interaction. I share with you, UN-EDITED responses from some of the connections I've been privileged
to make.

Un-edited FEEDBACK: DEBORAH'S PRESENCE

--Very intuitive and understanding, her desire to listen with such an open heart truly has ministered
to me and helped me through some pretty tough times in my life.
--She was gracefull and helpful, willing to talk even in a hurry,She seems to have a love for what she does.
--Deborah's presence is a positive and gentle one. From her soft spoken words of advice to her
deliberate but non abrasive gestures and movements. All of it just sets you at ease with her.
--The first sense I feel is her eye contact. Believe me this is very strange from someone I didn't know before this
flight. She truly has a gift beyond the daily grind of a work schedule.. The power of eye contact reached the inside
of my soul. Please don't misunderstanding my answer to this question, Debra reached me with her direct eye
contact normally this would never happen with a stranger on a plane.
--What I sense about Deborah's presence during her time spent with me is her quiet self confidence.
--I quess more than anything I felt as though I had known you from another life. Like a sister or friend or somthing.
Love and peace and gratefulness stick in my mind.
--That day was like the first day of the rest of my life! At the time I was lost, broken in a million pieces plus
depressed! When she started talking (or should I say teaching, I asked myself) who is this lady? She’s reading me
in and out and all around (right now as I write tears rolling down my face as I just think about it) Dr. Howell was sooo
deep.

Describe what you sensed about your presence during the time spent with Deborah?
--Very calm, relaxed and very much at ease as I know that she accepts me for who I am and also truly cares how I
am doing.
--i felt relaxed , trustworthy (she is) -Relief, I think, and happiness, and a great sense of homecoming
--I realized that when I was around her I was completely comfortable sharing details about my life that I usually don't
really divulge upon first meeting someone. The conversation made me feel somewhat vulnerable, yet still confident
as Deborah sort of "dissected" me.
--What I sense about my presence during the time spent with Deborah is a feeling of connectedness and
enrichment of spirit
--Seeing myself, my innerself for the first time, seeing me as a child full of light and potencial, and understanding
that I'm not alone in this world.
--I started praying asking God to help me stay in my seat and please don’t let these people see me crying. Still
asking myself where did she come from? She was God sent, I felt just for me. How could I get more of her teaching.

Personally or professionally, was there anything gained or lost during your time with Deborah?
--Personally and professionally gained with the knowledge that Deborah has shared with me, as far as lost, only
things that I didn’t need to hang on to in life.
--I gained a friend a confidant
--I gained, only gained! Since that first meeting, I have spoken to Deborah about half a dozen times on the phone
and even more than that via email. She has become the catalyst for me to work to get my personal debt
management underway and to start my search for opportunities to get myself out of my professional rut that I am in.
--Debra personally touched me with her inspiration and dedication. Yes, I know this was for a short period of time
but someone with her gifts comes around once in a lifetime. One thought comes to mind " GET YOUR BUTT IN
SCHOOL". I asked myself, "How much does a stranger really about you" or is it my calling?? Truly, I was touched
by her present.
--Personally I gained knowledge and insight
-- She helped me in so many ways that I now would like to take the time to thank her. Thank you Dr. Howell. Thank
you thank you thank you and keep up the good work.

Using 3-7 characteristics, describe Deborah. Please expand on the relevance of each description.
--Genuine, in her intentions and relationships with the people she meets
--Personable, I can’t believe how many people Deborah knows and how many people know her.
--Successful, in life as a Mother and Wife and in accomplishing her goals.
--Tenacious, will not take no for an answer, and very persistent in following her heart.

--trutworthy... feel like i could tell her anything
--youthfull... joyfull person
--honest... always clear about everything..
--felt like i know her for a long time

--Gentle- her soft voice is easy to listen to and easy to respond to. You never feel threatened by Deborah when
you are around her. Her gentleness puts you at ease.
--trustworthy- Even from the outset, you feel as if you can trust Deborah with your deepest secrets without fear of
judgment or persecution. You get the feeling that her genuine interest is strictly because she wants to help you
overcome your struggles and succeed in life.
--driven- after just 10 minutes of conversation with Deborah you can easily tell that she is very goal oriented and
nothing is going to stand in her way in her pursuit to achieve her goals. She has shared techniques she personally
uses to stay focused on her goals and to constantly remind her of what she is working for.

--Knowledgeable- It is very apparent that Deborah does not lack intelligence about anything she speaks of.
Deborah seems to be very well read on all of the subject matter she shared with me, even providing me additional
resources for my own reading and growth.
--Inspiration - Her thoughts and goals about life were amazing. Clearly a self-driven person that's wants to inspire
and touch people mentally.
Goals are very important to a successful life. Many people in this world today don't have a plan or goal to succeed.
A goal may be the first and only step to bring good to someone by given a sense of pride. My goals were reinforced
by a short flight in May. You were truly a blessing in the sky.
--Vision - This was the hardest to explain but I feel that a vision is a sense of a starting point in life. A vision may be
a dream or thought that you won't to express but fear sometimes gets in the way. Speaking with Debra was very
surprising in a sense. I spent most of the time listening to her vision of mind, body and soul. Yes, I must say that
something's were maybe out of my league but most important is applying a vision without the fear of failing.

--disciplined-she knows where she is going and is willing to do what it takes to get there;
--trustworthy-you can know she always moves from her heart;
--positive mental attitude-she tirelessly honors her responsibilities while pursuing her dreams

--God sent
--Awesome
--Down to earth
--Loving

What do you feel the journey of life is about?
--Making a powerful and positive difference in the life of one person.
--is about finding the inner fire that drives us
--I feel like the journey of life is about being happy. I enjoy this view, because being happy is such a broad
description. There are many things that make me happy, and I know that what makes me happy doesn't necessarily
make others happy. Everyone has their own little things that bring joy to their life. For me, being happy will be a
successful career that allows me to be my own boss and live a comfortable life with my wife and two kids (Wife and
kids to come in the future). A life of low stress and lots of activity. I want to be able to enjoy the outdoors and share
with my family the joys in my life that make it all worth it to me. Happiness to me doesn't mean being a multi
millionaire, or having a huge house with lots of toys and sports cars. For me to be happy and succeed on this
journey of life means that I worked hard for what I have, provide for my family, and feel a sense of real
accomplishment when I look back on the story that is my life.
--I feel the journey of life is discovering your purpose and using your talents, knowledge and experiences to give
service and uplift others.
--Life is about living, learning, letting go and letting God!!

Any additional comments:
--I feel very blessed and privileged to have met Deborah, she welcomed me in her life and is truly a one of a kind
individual.
--In the short time that I have known Deborah, I feel that I have made so many positive changes in my life. I hope
that with this book Deborah is able to spread her influence to people around the world. Her values and principles
are so positive and helpful in helping a person make some little changes to head in the right direction and live a
more bountiful and fulfilled life. Get out of the rut and get out there and do it!
--The journey of life is the completion of an individuals total life. This world is filled with hate, jealousy, obstacles and
love which sometimes overshadows all the good that achieved. No matter your ethnicities, we all may have the
same struggles if life so pre-judging people isn't answer. May belief is that we were put on this earth for a reason so
finding that reason
and sharing it with other completes that journey. This statement is so true about Debra.
--Deborah’s sense of self, integrity and purity of spirit is inspirational in a fresh and exciting way. I feel privileged
and grateful to call her my friend. I marvel at her knowledge, professionalism and insight. Her feet are firmly on her
path. I often think of her when I am facing my own challenges and just smile and repeat to myself something she
may have said to me that gives me another viewpoint. My life is truly enriched by her presence in it.
--Your a very special person with many gifts to share and need to be shared with everyone. If you can do what you
did to a perfect stranger , i believe you can and will do amazing things.
You have tapped into the power of pure love that allows you to reach people in ways that are so spectacular its very
difficult to put into words.
--You have been called by God to help heal the sick mind, body, soul, wounded, broken hearted, and so on. Keep
working for the Lord, we need you! I thank god for the time spent with you that day and I'm looking forward to the
day that I’ll be under your teaching again. I feel that if anyone has the chance to be in any of her classes that it will
be time well spent and you won’t forget it either!

Get to Know Deborah

Dear Mrs.Howell,
When you visited, you encouraged my class and I to make healthier choices in life. Now my
class looks at everything they eat. We read the food labels to check for unhealthy ingredients,
like partially hydrogenated oils or trans fat.
Mrs.Howell's presentation about eating healthy and making positive choices was really
interesting. She helped me make better decisions about the types of foods I eat.
Mrs. Howell is a wonderful physical therapist. She cares about her body and wants others to
care and take care of theirs. I really enjoyed her visit.
Mrs. Howell is a good role model of someone who takes care of their body and she gave us
tips about how to take care of ours. After Mrs. Howell's presentation, I know how to make
healthy choices when choosing the foods I will put into my body.

These wonderful 5th
grade students were
excited to learn how to
make healthy choices for
a healthy body!
