Spirt Speaks, Experiencing Loss of Self to Discover Love of Self, is the brand new book that my dear friend Denise Schaad has just written. I just finished it and I deem it a “life changing” book. A couple years ago I wrote a blog about my experiences at Denise’s personal spiritual retreat and now she has a book! https://www.diannedeering.com/2020/02/the-ultimate-spiritual-retreat/
Denise will be doing another retreat on June 4, 2022; but in the meantime you will want to get her book. It seems inappropriate to state that a book of this nature is a “page-turner;” but it is. She also did the artwork for the cover! http://spiritspeaksbook.com
This is what is being said about the book and about her…
“I slowly open the door and push the kitchen chairs away to crawl out into the light. The tiny clean kitchen is broken and ransacked. Everything is in chaos. My eyes strain to see what has happened. My feet are cold on the gold shag carpet. The living room is dark except for the light filtering through the drapes. I wander around the room, lost and alone. I find my mommy naked on the floor. I approach her, no response. Crying, I shake her bloody body.
“Mommy, Mommy, please wake up.”
Mommy won’t wake up. She’s dead!
“Mommy, wake up. Please wake up, Mommy, wake up. I will be a good girl. Just wake up, and I will take care of you. Mommy, please wake up. Mommy, please wake up, and I will never leave you. I will always take care of you if you wake up.”
The front door swings open and I freeze. A man grabs me. I scream for Mommy.”
“I have been personally a witness to Denise’s journey, and having known her and seen her journey. I know what powerful a soul she is. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is going through their personal journey, or is interested in learning about it, to catch a glimpse of how a journey of transformation goes. I am sure that through these words this book will be a doorway to healing for many.”

“Buddha taught ‘It is better to travel well than to arrive’. This book is a raw, open, vulnerable & honest story of a path traveled by many but fully experienced by only a hand-full. The biggest takeaway from Denise’s rendition is that our inner light remains uncorrupted no matter how impossible of an external circumstance we are subjected to. It is not easy to write with such integrity about dark family dynamics. This book is the light in the dark; it is the freedom we all crave”

When I started coaching Denise Schaad immediately, I felt I was in the presence of someone compassionate with a big heart who wanted to clear her past to move forward and put everything behind her. She has the drive to assist other people.
Denise is determined and persistent in her own healing, and I’m aware she would be a great coach for anyone who works with her.
She is creative, energetic, enthusiastic, inspirational and at the same time affectionate, intuitive, supportive, loyal, lovable and friendly.
I had the pleasure of working with her.

“Denise Schaad, Spiritual Teacher, Self-Awareness Coach, Thought Leader who amplifies Leaders by Illuminating their knowing that they are co-creators. Denise has a natural gift to see and clear emotional energy from the physical body. Her purpose is to guide and teach Leaders to trust their inner leader through releasing the emotional energy and embodying their Spiritual Currency.”
The one sentence in the book that jumped off the page for me was, “It has taken me a long time to see that the only one violating me was me.” Denise tells her heart-breaking story of sexual abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, and the “loss of self” to discover “love of self.”
Right out of the starting gate, Denise’s book made it to the best seller’s list. Here is the link to the press release. https://apnews.com/press-release/marketersmedia/entertainment-f63d548b385b4087facb7d66850d451d
My book isn’t finished yet, but I am speaking about it, The Five Spiritual Steps for Healing Grief, on Zoom in conjunction with the metaphysical bookstore where I work on May 24, 2022 at 7:00 Pm Pacific. Below is the information for you to be able to register and tune in. There is a $10 fee.

Many people have felt grief, loss, or the fear of dying during Covid. Join Dianne Deering, certified grief educator and trauma facilitator, as she explains the five steps which incorporate a spiritual approach to healing grief. On three different occasions, Dianne Deering had airline tickets, ones she didn’t use, on planes that crashed. She felt spared, knowing there had to be a purpose for her life. And after suffering three recent devastating losses, she found that purpose was to assist others through these five spiritual steps for healing after grief.
I hope to see you on Zoom on May 24 and at Denise’s retreat in the mountains near Lake Tahoe on June 4! Talk about a “life-changer!” Stay tuned for more information!
