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.

You Have to Take Risks

“You have to take risks…ask a good looking man for his phone number, send the resume to your dream job, buy a lottery ticket…life doesn’t happen unless you take chances.  You won’t get a second chance so you open yourself up to the possibility”

Terry Hatcher

Always Aim High

“It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I, in any way, discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.  When you stumble, keep the faith.  And when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.   Always aim high, work hard and care deeply about what you believe in.  You need to work hard for what still can be…have optimism and confidence for the days ahead.  Time is too precious. None of us can go it alone.  The dreams you share are worth fighting for”

 Hillary Clinton, 2008 Presidential Convention

Persistence

“Persistence is knowing that in the face of a thousand reasons to be discouraged, you choose to carry on no matter how seemingly hopeless the present situation may seem.  The power of persistence is required especially when you’re dealing with intense, emotionally devastating circumstances or difficult things that have stacked up all at once” 

Chris Attwood and Janet Bray Attwood

That First Step

“I have found that you do have only to take that one step toward the Gods, and they will then take ten steps toward you. That step, the heroic first step of the journey, is out of, or over the edge of, your boundaries, and it often must be taken before you know that you will be supported” Diane K. Osbon

Pain will Make You Stronger

I have seen so many people find happiness only after going through a difficult experience.  It was actually the pain that made them strong enough to get what they wanted.  Rachel Greenwald

Love Yourself

“You cannot be any good for anyone else until you are first good for yourself.  I also think it is impossible to really love anyone else unless you first love yourself.  How can you give another person your best if you do not believe you have anything wonderful to offer”   Larry Winget

Master Your World

You can either be a master of your world or a victim.  You think you feel, you feel you vibrate, you vibrate is the way you attract. 

 Focus on what you want and it will come…expect, listen and allow it to happen. Don’t worry about why it hasn’t shown up yet, just feel the happy vibration of having it and it will magnetize.

Your Life is Waiting

What has been has nothing to do with what can be.  If you’ve had a tough time all your life, you have the tools now to turn that around.  You have only to start flowing differently on a regular basis and a new world will follow…it must…it is cosmic law and the physics of the universe.  Follow your impulses.
