Live. Inspired. is a collection of my own creation. It speaks to "how" I have been choosing to live my life each day. A conversation with, and for myself actually.When my true inspirations are attached to that which I intend, I feel the Universe "opening up" to a whole new world of abundance, opportunity, and discovery. And by sharing my inspirations here with you...it makes me feel good too!

Well, it's been a long time in the making, but from conception, to blog, to creation, and finally into production..... my long awaited, labour of love, Live. Inspired. - Affirmations of a Life on Purpose has been born, and is now available at Mosaic Books in Kelowna BC, and hopefully soon in other bookstores and gift shops throughout BC, and perhaps even in California!
Stay tuned for updates, availability, and more exciting news to come.

I am in humble gratitude for the journey that is this special book.
Nearly four years in the making, written on the sunny beaches of Maui, the majestic Nature of the Okanangan Valley, and the spiritual wonder of the gorgeous (Palm) Desert.
I am so proud of this wonderful and meaningful work, and for what it does.
Sales of the book will flow back through the Paul Docksteader Foundation where they are annually dispersed to the various charities that my Foundation supports throughout our community.

A heart-felt thank you to all my family and friends who have so generously and lovingly supported the work on this wonderful path. I am forever grateful, and so very blessed by you all....
I hope that you will enjoy, be inspired, and share in the journey that is all of us, our beautiful lives, and all of our wonderful blessings.

Namaste..

Live. Inspired.

"Sharing Rainbows."

Sharing Rainbows is a wonderful and positive practice
that my amazing daughter and I share of a regular basis.
It is our special way, (and in our own words), of connecting,
communicating, and inspiring each other (and hopefully others)
in our lives.
Even though we live far apart, it is a heart-warming thing
for us to do -together- and it makes me so very happy.
Bless your beautiful heart Jessica. Thank you for doing this,
for making me so proud, and for making such a positive difference.
I love you. Dad.

Sharing Rainbows... September 1, 2017

Dad...     Embrace that special passion that lives deep inside of you.
               For this is your truth. Your purpose... and the real reason that
               you are here, and what you are truly meant to do.

Jessica..  Stop the effort in trying to make everyone else happy,
               in order to make yourself happy.
               Happiness and positivity come from within yourself.
               It's not just a state of mind, it is a state of "being."
               Practice each day and focus on how you are going to
               live in the positive, and how you will manage the negativity
               when it shows up in your world.

In Humble Gratitude.

Dad...      "In times of disconnect, uncertainty, doubt and discord,
                it is incumbent upon all of us to come together as One.
                Oneness, togetherness, kindness, and compassion is always
                our way."

Jessica...  "You cannot fight hate, with hate.
                 You can only conquer hate with Love.
                 Love will always win, and Love will always be the answer."

Sharing Rainbows... January 21, 2017.

Dad...       "Practice Being in Balance... body, mind and soul.
                Relax the efforts of continually Doing too much of
                any one thing. Feel the alignment of all that you can be,
                in Balance with every-thing that is available to you in your
                life."

Jessica...  "Always Be your true and authentic Self.
                One of the most challenging things you can do to your Self, 
                is to wrongly believe in someone else's opinion of you."

In humble gratitude...

Dad...      "A new chapter (a new cycle), is the universe signalling
                a beautiful opportunity to open your heart to a fresh new
                outlook, filled with hope for the future.
                It represents a time for new beginnings, new opportunities,
                and new discoveries... about who you are, your life,
                and the person you desire yourself to be...
                Your true, authentic, Self."

Jessica...  "With every goodbye, there is a hello.
                 Take time for yourself to appreciate your past,
                 and look forward (with passion) to your future."

In humble gratitude...
