Author of the book, “Standing Tall: The Marvel of Our Existence is Incredible”

Donna Lancaster, June 1932-March 2014



Donna stepped out of her precious little body and into the pool of consciousness on the morning of March 8th at her home in Lake Whitney, TX. She was not in pain and passed as she lived, with dignity and grace. Her dear friends Wesley and Tanya Sulak were present to nurture and be nurtured by this incredible experience. This picture was taken on February 27th, a few days before she began her journey Home. Please share your memories of her in the guestbook that celebrates her life.

A memorial service was held for Donna Lancaster on Saturday, March 29, 9:30 am at the White Bluffs Chapel, 107 White Bluff Dr, Whitney TX, 254 694-4000, followed by a reception and luncheon for her friends.

Donations are being accepted now, in lieu of flowers, for the Lake Whitney Public Library, attn Denise Carter, PO Box 2050 Whitney, 76692. The funds will be used to landscape gardens around the new library.

Titles from the chapters in Donna’s book, Standing Tall

  • “What is” is reality.
  • “What ought to be” is illusion.
  • We are responsible for where we put our attention.
  • We are 100 percent subject to suggestion 100 percent of the time. Life sets up all sorts of situations for us so we can learn.
  • Let Life unfold naturally. Don’t push!
  • Every Challenge is an opportunity to grow.
  • If we are not looking for the ideal, it is easy to make a decision. Fear is wanting to be safe. Safety is an illusion.
  • Depression is another word for self-pity.
  • We lie to be safe.
  • There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
  • If we do not respond to the circumstances life has given us, they will continue to occur.
  • We would feel fantastic & enjoy ourselves if we dropped all expectations.
  • We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
  • Life is a series of events, all of which will pass.
  • There is no need to defend or justify anything.
  • Surrender: Ceasing to think I know “what ought to be.”
  • Life is the Teacher.
  • Whenever we make anything important, we are anxious.
  • We live in that which we radiate.
  • We cannot control circumstances or how other people treat us. We can choose our responses to circumstances and other people.
  • A conscious person has reverence for all life…
  • and that includes even mosquitoes.

Donna’s Stories

For ten years, precisely at the first of every month, with unwavering certainty, ticked a newsletter from Donna into my mailbox. As a tribute to her, this is a compilation of all the parts of the newsletters she named "A STORY." This was the part written by her, as opposed to the quotes of Dr. Bob Rhondell. It covers twenty years of work (1994 - 2014)

She had her mind made up!
Starting with the oldest first.
A few duplicates have been taken out.
