With no test available, Deborah grew up under a cloud of uncertainty which affected her life and her decisions from that time on, in a profound way. After many years of struggling with her sadness, two of Deborah's brothers were tested positive for the disease. Her brother Nigel decided that he didn't want to live with the condition but did not want to die alone.When she left for her holiday to Costa Rica that year, Deborah had no idea that the death of a little baby hummingbird would turn her life around so unexpectedly and so profoundly. Meeting her guru and learning about a better way to cope, Deborah finally started to see the black cloud shift and the rainbow appear.Uncovering a hidden emotion that her subconscious had been afraid to acknowledge, she finally got in touch with the joy that is the very essence of us all.It's like 'Eat, pray, love' with guts .. journalist Fiona Locke The two most common messages that Deborah gets from her readers are: 1.
