It’s Never too Late

Colonel Sanders was in his seventies when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken because he didn’t let age stop him from going after his dreams.

Just had a spotlight interview about my book…  The subject came up about how middle aged and seniors today are lost and wondering what to do with the rest of their lives.  This is the third time I have run into this surprising topic.  However, as we age we have the most awesome wisdom to offer the world, many years of experience and mistakes out of the way, and middle aged people have the best opportunity to finally live their passion.  Yet, people give up and feel it’s too late or some other unrealistic excuse that keeps them from going after what they really want.  It’s never too late and we can go after what we really want at any age…so why wait?  In my book I write about starting over at any age and the fulfilling meaning that comes from finally making a decision to do so.  So to everyone out there who is young and you’re not sure of what you want to do, and everyone out there who is older and know what your talents and passions are, go after what your authentic self knows you are meant to do…now!  We all have a talent and you find that talent through your passions. It’s never too early or too late to go after what makes you feel alive.

 

When you feel good…all is possible

For me…the most important for us…try to find something we feel good about.  When you feel good, all impossible becomes possible.  Only believe.  Manuel De Los Santos

Life is full of Possibility

Life is full of possibility, healing, growth and re-birth. A negative past does not have to define who you are. What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what can be

Every Person Has a Talent…

Every person has a talent…and you owe it to yourself to find, use, and share that talent…

“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.'”
Erma Bombeck

This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children

Today, my ebook was published on both Kindle and The Nook.  The preview for the book  is listed below as well as a review by my proofreader.  She read the book and was so motivated by it to change her life that she started her own business.  See reviews and links below.

Preview for book:  There comes a time when you know the world you are living in is not your home.  When that happens it does not matter the existing circumstances. It does not matter how late in life you may have waited. What matters is that you are ready to jump into the life your soul has longed for.  This is when you feel alive. This is when you know everything you have been prepared for is coming together, and it is time…time to finally live who you are.  This realization is magical and resonates possibly for the first time with your life’s purpose.  My message is don’t wait for what you know you are born to do.  When you have a talent, it needs to be shared.  When you have a dream, it needs to be lived.  When your heart is leading you and your passion is talking to you, listen!  Life is about your unique journey, and the difference you can make.  There is nothing that will compare with your decision to finally go in the direction you are meant to go and all the magic that happens from that decision.  This is when life finally falls together. 

 Originally written only for my Children as inspiration and guidance about life, This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children is encouragement…about taking control of your destiny instead of accepting what life lays in your lap.  It’s about finding yourself, believing in your dreams, believing in yourself, leaving yesterday behind, and creating a world as unique as you are.  What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what can be.

Review:  It is my distinct pleasure to have read the first draft of Velinda Peyton’s new book This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children.  She writes in such a clear, informative manner and is inspirational in her encouragement of others to pursue their dreams. Consequently, I have started a business with my husband after reading her book because I also have found my passion.  In addition, she tunes in so well to many of the longings we all have, in every aspect of our lives.  One particular passage that moves me is her description of coming across a deer in a remote area of Colorado.  Her description is so poetic and moving that I feel as if I am actually there with her in the moment. I often find myself wanting to reread certain passages because the writing is simply that good.  Fantastic job, Velinda!  Cathy

Love…Our Ultimate Reality

Love is the essential existential fact.  It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth.  To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.  Love is who we are and love is what we are here for.  Nothing else is real and nothing else matters.

 When we attach ourselves to things, we are searching for meaning in the meaningless.  Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing.  It’s not that they’re bad.  It’s that they’re nothing.

 Denying love is the only problem, and embracing it is the only answer.  Love heals all of our relationships: to money, the body, work, sex, death, ourselves and one another.   Through the miraculous power of pure love, we let go of our past history in any area and begin again. 

 It doesn’t matter who we are, where we came from, what Mommy said, what Daddy did, what mistakes we made, what diseases we have, or how depressed we feel.  The future can be reprogrammed in this moment.  We don’t need another seminar, another degree, another lifetime, or anyone’s approval in order for this to happen.  All we need is a gentler perception.  All we have to do is ask for a miracle and allow it to happen, not resist it.  There can be a new beginning, a life unlike the past.  Our relationships shall be made new.  Our careers shall be made new.  Our bodies shall be made new.  There can be a new beginning, a life unlike the past.
