Brandon and Jenna's Mom, a spiritual entrepreneur, philanthropist, animal and nature lover, and author with a financial consultant background.  My passion is turning my past experiences and wisdom into a springboard for helping people through my websites, presentations, and books.  I am the founder of Life Talks, Positive Thoughts on Life, and This Is Not Brandon websites. Why I do this:  I am dedicated to making this world a better place by helping people change and recreate their lives after tragedy.  I do this because I know that no one has to suffer and live in lack no matter what their past may have been, how long it may have been, or what your current circumstances are.  It is my own past and experience that drives me to this purpose.  There is no better teacher and no replacement for experience.

More on Perception coming…

Many people asked about the post yesterday on Perception.  More about this will be posted on our new site This Brand New Day which is undergoing intense change for a new non-profit organization we are starting. Much more to come so hang on tight…we’re working as fast as we can!

Thinking of Miracles

I’m thinking about miracles today…it’s a great day for Miracles.  Miracles are all around us but we often pass them off as coincidence or miss them all together because we can’t understand how they work…or that they even exist.  I’m thankful for the miracle of life, for the miracle of my family and my pets.  I’m thankful for the miracle of rain today after the long scorching summer… the heat seemed endless. I love watching the rain…it’s so peaceful. I’m thankful for the miracle of health…that I can enjoy life in a healthy body.  I’m thankful for another day. I’m thankful for the miracle of second chances. And I’m watching for more miracles.  You have to believe in miracles.

What miracles are all around you today?

Perception…

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of a true blessing disguised as misfortune. Every day I am thankful for something most people would consider a burden.  Such an emotionally good date this will always be for me for the rest of my life.

The Past is Nothing Compared to the Future

What you have today is a result of what you did yesterday.  

What you do today will determine your life tomorrow.

If you want different results, do something new today. 

The past is nothing compared to the importance of your future.

The Only Thing Stopping You…is You

(This post is specially for Amit and my friends in India)

If you could envision yourself succeeding at anything you want without any obstacles, what would it be?

If you could have the relationship your heart desires without allowing insecurities to inhibit you, how would that make you feel?

If you could master the art of making your dreams come true…no excuses, what would those dreams look like?

If you could finally live your purpose and make a difference in the world or the lives others, how would that fulfill your life?

If you could live the life your soul knows is meant for you, the life that is full of love and meaning, what steps do you need to take to have it?

Now you know what to do…

The only thing stopping you…is you

You are all You Need

All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips. All you have to do is identify what you want to do with it, and then practice the feeling-place of what it will feel like when that happens. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have. You are blessed Beings; you have come forth into this physical environment to create. There is nothing holding you back, other than your own contradictory thought. And your emotion tells you you’re doing that. Life is supposed to be fun—it is supposed to feel good! You are powerful Creators and right on schedule. Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate positively more; anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than that you feel good. Just practice that and watch what happens. There is great love here for you. We are complete.

The Hard Work is Worth It

Weakness is when you let life beat you. 

Weakness is when you let fear make decisions for you.

Weakness is when you refuse to try.

Are you inspired by people who are needy, weak, insecure or need constant attention? Not likely.

Take responsibility for your own success and failures and create the life you want for yourself.

The hard work is worth it.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait?

Good things come to those who wait?

Good things come to those who don’t give up, who stay committed, determined, and persistent in the pursuit of their dreams…even if they have to wait.

Good things come to those who wait…and take action and live at the same time.  Otherwise, ten years later you’ll still be in a state of waiting.

Whisper of Destiny

“Are you listening to your heart and the whispers of destiny? 

You have to take time for you or you miss out on life and just keep going the way you are. 

 You’re not designing your life, your just reacting to it”
