Doreen has been an activist since childhood when her mother would take her door-to-door to gather petition signatures. In Junior High School, Doreen formed a group devoted to helping wild mustangs, and she spoke at the local branch of the Sierra Club. Today, she's an active donor and petition signature gatherer for the Humane Society of California http://humanecalifornia.org/ (California residents, please help the Humane Society to create better living conditions for farm animals), Oceana.org, PETA, Defenders of Wildlife, ChildHelpUSA, and other charities. Her weekly "Green Corner" is featured on her http://www.takeactionangels.org/Site/Welcome.html website, which is updated every Wednesday.
As a child, Doreen was a natural clairvoyant, seeing and conversing with what many people call “invisible friends.” But this natural gift and ability was little understood by the young Doreen and her family, and was the cause of teasing by her friends. Consequently, Doreen learned to deny her abilities, effectively shutting them down before she was mature enough to fully appreciate them. But on July 15, 1995, Doreen’s personal life and her career, marked by exemplary but conventional success, would be irrevocably altered by an incident that is nothing short of miraculous.
Doreen had been ignoring her angels’ guidance to become a teacher of mind-body-spirit issues, so when an angel warned Doreen that her car was going to be stolen on that fateful July afternoon, Doreen ignored him. After all, her habit of arguing with and ignoring the angels was deeply ingrained by then. Despite this, the angel did not abandon Doreen in her most dire moment—as she was parking, two armed men, intent on a carjacking, brandished weapons and physically accosted the unsuspecting Doreen. The voice spoke to her again—it was loud, distinctly male, and it instructed her to scream with all her might. This time she listened, and her life was saved by passers-by who became alarmed and sent her attackers running.
Doreen thanked God for sending angels to save her life. Humbled by the experience, she vowed to listen to her Divine guidance from then on. Doreen teaches people how to hear the voice of the Divine in her workshops, books, and on her weekly hayhouseradio.com radio show.
