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.

Raise Your Self-Esteem

We date and choose people to be in our lives who are at the same level of our own self-esteem

But that does not always mean we have chosen the right person to spend our life with. 

It may mean we need to raise our self-esteem.

Freedom

 Being concerned about what other people think is a prison that will hold you back from what you really want.  How silly to allow a total stranger or someone you barely know make you feel uncomfortable for being yourself.

what other people think

When you are concerned about what others think you are is not living your own life.

Must We Never Forget

Always remember who matters and to treat them with love

people you love 1

There is nothing more important in your life than the people who love you

These people are your world and without them life would be empty

never promised tomorrow love the special people in your life

Stop Waiting for Life

What are you waiting for…

Your debt to be paid, more money, your problems to be solved, love to come along, to lose weight, to be happy, to graduate, to be more confident, for circumstances to change, until you are ready? 

These are all excuses.

If you wait until you are ready, you will be waiting for the rest of your life. 

Your dreams are now, start today.  Take small steps, but start.

Believe in yourself and go after what you want.

Today is the perfect day to go after your dreams and start living that life.

So what will you do to start living your dreams…today?

dont wait for life, no excuses

The Most Important Thing

give love

“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer.

There is no disease that enough love will not heal.

No door that enough love will not open.

No gulf that enough love will not bridge.

No wall that enough love will not throw down.

And no sin that enough love will not redeem.

It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble. How hopeless the outlook. How muddled the tangle. How great the mistake.

A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

And if you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.” 

Emmet Fox

Never forget WHO Matters

Remember ….

Never ever sacrifice the people who matter for anything of lesser importance…

not for a day, for a moment of instant gratification,

not for anything that would forever jeopardize your relationship with that person.

In the end you lose the world for something you could live without

whats important

Just Fill Up….

People talk about the reality of their life as if it is important. And we want you to understand, it’s only the temporary indicator. Do you go to the gas station—your gas gauge is on empty—do you go to the gas station and look at your gas gauge in horror? “How did this happen? [Fun] Why, why, why did this happen to me?” Do you lay your head on the steering wheel and just sob? “Oh, look what it’s come to. [Fun] I’m finished. I’ve lived all of this life, and look where I am.”

Or do you just fill up.
