Are you ready to ignite the spark of creativity? Come listen to the Adventures of a Gala Guru,” a hilarious exposé of the event planning world that gives readers a backstage pass to the controlled chaos of celebration. Her popular advice blog, “Dear Gala Guru,” continues to inspire, proving that everyone can tap into their creative wellspring. Lesson Learned, pearls of laughter to be savored and heartwarming stories.
As an actress, storyteller, and event planner, Donna found herself in some fascinating, sometimes therapy-inducing, situations. Adventures of a Gala Guru is her first foray into the literary world. It was a two-year process inspired by events in her experience as an event planner. Just as with theater, the behind-the-scenes chaos of an event is often far more exciting than what is actually happening on the stage or in the buffet line. Once an event is underway, it tends to take on a life of its own...the characters don't necessarily play their parts as directed!
