Donna Jo Fraley is a student of metaphysical/spiritual teachings. She has spent the last three years exploring the questions "Who Am I" and "Why Am I Here?" She was living a life of duality, constant mind chatter, and disharmony. She has attended many personal growth and self-healing seminars in a quest to understand her purpose on earth. After spending much time in prayer and meditation, she had a major breakthrough. A profound change occurred and as a result, she started writing poetry. Her hope is to inspire others that might be going through a similar situation. Donna Jo Fraley lives in Central Florida. She currently works as a teacher and is in the process of working on her second CD. She loves to sing and is the choir director of her church.
