We had the good fortune of connecting with Dawn Lindsay and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dawn, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
Helping others find peace and live a joyful life is the value that matters most to me. Having a negative outlook affects almost every aspect of our lives. Loss, fear and grief can be crippling, preventing us from making good, rational decisions. Without joy, our minds are filled with all the things that we believe are wrong in our lives and the world. Fear makes us believe things about ourselves and others that are false and often brings out the wrong reaction. FEAR: Fear is just False Evidence Appearing Real. When we learn to focus on the positive things in our lives and see our challenges as things to overcome, it changes the way we view everything. The darkness begins to fade as the light shines brighter and our thoughts begin to transform. We can change our entire life just by changing our thoughts. We only have one life to live so we should live it to the fullest!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I believe that everyone should be challenged, especially their belief system. Without leaving our comfort zones, we can’t grow. Without growth, we die inside a little each day. Today we are surrounded by people who have put themselves above all else. Their beliefs about topics seem to be paramount and we are getting an ugly look at what the world looks like without a moral compass. If one believes that there is no Heaven or God, then it’s easier to justify doing things that they shouldn’t do because there is no consequence. We are living in a world that is filled with children, who are now adults, that could do whatever they wanted without consequence. We have created a world where our Egos rule our thoughts and actions. Our egos want to Edge God Out of our lives because He is our Moral Compass, without him we have no guilt. My desire is to challenge people to rethink their positions and realize that we should be celebrating our differences. I achieve these goals through book writing and have published three books to date. One is an adventure book that is based on real events. The other books show you a different way to see the world and the people around you, to help you leave the past behind you and live a full and happy life now!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love San Diego, California and everything it has to offer. If my friend was visiting, I would schedule a different experience each day. One experience would be to take a whale watching tour and have dinner at Seaport Village. Another day would be an adventure in Old Town San Diego that would include a tour of the haunted places. We would grab a bite to eat at one of the Mexican Restaurants before heading home. Lastly, we would need a day at the beach.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Theresa Caputo, The Long Island Medium, was my encouragement. She blazed a trail for others to follow and helped us to be more accepted and understood by allowing her gifts and services to be shown on TV. Her show was an instant hit and it is encouraging to know how many people believe in such a beautiful ability.
