Author Biography

I am a retired high school teacher and love educating people about their own power and how they can contribute to their own wellbeing. In my book I share my unusual life story, full of challenges and adversities . They put me on a path where I was forced to dig deep in order to survive. In return I received help from spiritual angels, earth angels, and guides. I learned that I had healing and psychic gifts and that the Invisible World is there to support us. Now I am a spiritual educator teaching others to see the gifts hidden in painful life events and how to tap into the resources the Universe has for us.

Reviewed by Maria Victoria Beltran for Readers' Favorite

When Life Has Other Plans...Discover the Hidden Gifts by Dorothea L. Gordon is a non-fiction memoir of one woman’s extraordinary life journey. Born in post-war Bavaria, Germany, Dorothea Gordon's childhood was influenced by the hardships around her, thus strengthening her compassionate nature. The lively and adventurous girl went on to become a teacher, met Christopher, a Canadian while on a trip to Mexico, and the two eventually settled in Victoria, BC, Canada. Having learned handwriting analysis in college, she advertised her services and received an offer to analyze people's handwriting while they are in a past life regression. This started her passage into the world of the paranormal and into becoming a holistic lifestyle practitioner.

Dorothea L. Gordon's When Life Has Other Plans...Discover the Hidden Gifts is a highly informative book about leading a holistic lifestyle by learning how to address our mind, body, and spirit and become the healthiest and happiest versions of ourselves. The author generously shares her life experiences so that her readers can also manifest their visions. This is a must-read book not only for those who wish to lead holistic lifestyles but also for general readers. At the end of each chapter, the lessons learned from her experiences are noted as gifts and I find them very helpful and quite enlightening. Easy to read and engaging, the book reminds us that we should learn from all the good and bad experiences that life brings us and strive to follow our dreams. I highly recommend this book!
