Don Ely

Don Ely is an Engineer at the Kennedy Space Center by day; a father of two beautiful adult children (a blessing to me and our family) and for the last 8 years a student of personal growth and spiritual growth. I was born and raised in Lincoln, IL. Lincoln is a small Midwestern town, north of the capital Springfield. A community surrounded by farms and I was fortunate enough to have relatives on farms that we visited often. Through meditation and many books (many from Hay House authors) and exploration of healing modalities, I have come to the point where the desire to share the message of love and hope are strong within me.

About the Author

Overview

Have you struggled with past transgressions? Having trouble letting go of memories and feelings of when you were hurt by another? You are not alone! Many suffer from past hurts, reliving the memories over and over. Is there a way out? Yes!

Forgive and Let Go, is a book that includes tools such as meditation and affirmations that will help individuals become aware of these thought patterns and release them. At least release the ‘sting’ of those painful memories.

The author uses his own life experiences and path through the fog of guilt and pain of suffering the words and actions of others. By setting an example of a successful path the author hopes others may see a path to forgiveness.

The book also takes a broad look at what can and should be forgiven. Topics such as judgments, perceptions, and world events are discussed.
