Sometimes when we try over and over for something that simply isn’t working out, it’s because we are trying for the wrong thing, in the wrong way, or for the wrong reason.
Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate your efforts
The right thing always works out

Do You Believe in Miracles?
From: Velinda Peyton
I do! I’ve been the recipient of them and I’ve seen them. I know miracles exits.
I’ve read that all you have to do is believe, ask for a miracle and it will come. Miracles are like prayer. You have to ask and be open to them arriving. Maybe not the way you thought, but miracles the same. So I asked! Continue reading Do You Believe in Miracles?
10 lessons from Einstein
1. Follow Your Curiosity “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
2. Perseverance is Priceless “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
3. Focus on the Present “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
4. The Imagination is Powerful “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
5. Make Mistakes “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
6. Live in the Moment “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
7. Create Value “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
8. Don’t be repetitive “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
9. Knowledge Comes From Experience “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
10. Learn the Rules and Then Play Better “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”
From Paul Coelho’s Blog
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.

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
