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.

Doors…

1 Comment

Sometimes when we try so hard and nothing appears to be working out, remember it’s always darkest before the dawn.  And closing the doors of the past completely will allow us to open new ones.  We can’t leave these doors open even a little bit if we want to move forward.  Holding on to what has died will not allow you to find what is waiting for you today..

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

– Gospel of Thomas,  Verse 70

 If there was one thing you could do every day that would change your life for the better…what would it be? 

Start now

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Anatole France

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

A Brand New Day

2 Comments

A new sunrise and a new sunset,
The worries of old I will soon forget.
A brand new day and new memories to make,
For the world is mine for me to take.

New dreams to build, and new things to plan,
And a whole new place to say, “I can”…
This is the beginning of the rest of my life,
A new future to build, new goals in sight.

Yesterday has come and gone,
And now is the time for me to move on.
To pick up and say, “This world is mine”…
And to show how bright my life can shine.

 

I hold my destiny in my own hands,
Now I will make all my own plans.
With the lessons of yesterday deep in my heart,
I have a Brand New day, for a brand new start.

Life Happens When You are in the Game

2 Comments

Life doesn’t happen if you quit or give up after one month or ten tries.

Life happens when you persist in spite of setbacks and disappointments. 

Life happens when you are in the game for the long run.
