Is the Internet the best place to hold a Seminar?

I really need to know what you all think. Is the Internet the best place to hold a Seminar? Do you think Google is a good place to advertise for it? Would you rather hear about it from the news? Does the Internet really work or is there a better media?

These are questions that I dearly want to know what you think. Would you take a sort survey and answer these questions? Before you do, let me tell you why I’m asking for your opinion. When I was four, I was so happy. Then one day, someone came to the house to tell us that our mother was dead. My father left us telling us that no one wanted us. Shortly, I was split up from my siblings.

At the age of five, I went into a deep depression and I went to bed, praying he would stop me from breathing. I wanted to leave this world. The Savior brought miracles in my life that kept me alive.

In the bible, it says all things are possible through him. As an adult, I was in a safe, loving environment. Yet every morning, I woke up being in fear. It never seemed to want to leave me.

I desired to be free of this prison. I didn’t trust people and I was so hurt from being betrayed. The word family was a bitter word to me. I had so much pain associated with the word family. It made it hard for me to feel comfortable with my husband’s family because I didn’t trust people.

In my twenties, I had something happen that changed my life. For a split moment, as I felt the Savior arms around me. I saw the scars of emotional abuse that was inside of me. For that split moment, I felt his love for me. My spirit was so starved for love. I couldn’t feel anyone’s love because I had so many deep emotional scars.

After that moment, I became obsessed to learn how to remove the damage. I know in my heart it was possible. I’m here today to say, I have achieved my goal.

I do not wake up in the morning feeling a blind fear. It took me until I was a first time grandmother to do it. The reason it took me so long since I started in my twenties. When I found something that worked, I wanted to why it worked. What laws governed it that made it work. After I learned the laws, I watched it in other people’s lives. When I saw they received the same results, I knew I had found a true principle.

After ten years of being free, I became tired of watching strangers suffer. What I learned wasn’t something that I could explain in a few moments. So I decided to write books on the subject. People were so taken back by the possibilities. They have asked me to teach seminars.

Locally, I did. They wanted more information and I had it. I was so taken back my how much I had learned over the years. I have a powerful testimony of prayer. This is what I used to learn what I did.

Today, I can remove permanently the scars from someone else, even when they are victims of violent crimes. I had a lady come to me regarding a family member. They were terrified of being in a room with closed doors.

When they went to church, they had to sit next to the door with their hand on it. Something terrifying happened to them as a child and she had this blind fear that wasn’t going away with age.

After spending an hour with me, the fear is permanently gone. They are free to enjoy life and not deal with ghosts from the past. I’m so grateful for my past if it was what it would take for me how to free others from a prison of pain and fear. This is why I’m asking these questions. People who know me and I have worked with. They want a seminar. I thought it might be great to have it on the Internet. Do you think it would work? Would you please take a survey? Click here.

Thoughts of Encouragement

Thoughts of Encouragement are always helpful. I would like to tell you a story of hope. It’s really a simple story. It was a dark day in my life when my mother died and our father left us. I was four and my world had just shifted into what felt like a deep, dark pit. I would wake up shaking, wondering what horrible thing was going to happen next. Every day brought additional pain and sorrow. I went from a happy-go-lucky child to feeling like I was a freak. Isolation, embarrassment, and the painful sense of loss all seemed to consume me. My siblings and I were told no one wanted the three of us.

Soon after our father left, my siblings were taken away, causing me to mourn for my sister and brother. All I wanted was to feel safe, loved, and wanted. Those I lived with always introduced me as the child with no parents. Their introduction always made me fell like I wasn’t a part of their family, just someone staying for a short period of time. It hurt deeply to see th looks in people’s faces. It was always mixed with sorrow and pity. I had a label over my head that often made me feel like an outcast.

I went into a deep spiritual depression at five and never came out of it until I was well into adulthood. It was a miracle that I found my way out. When It happened, I felt like it was an answer to my prayers. At the moment of realization, I received a vision that showed how deep the layers of scars were and how starved my spirit was for love. After this experience, I decided to find a way to permanently remove the layers of pain and sorrow. It became an obsession and for the first time in my life, I had a dream.

At the time of this vision, my circumstances were wonderful. I was in a healthy warm, loving environment. Yet, I couldn’t shake the depression and completely feel the love that was around me. My past refused to allow me to feel it. Not knowing where to start, I prayed and was guided first to books. I went in every direction that might teach me how to be free from my invisible prison that life had placed me in.

Today, I’m out of this prison and I’m free to be me. I wrote a book about my story so others would know it was possible to remove emotional scars and live a healthy, happy life. One of the books is called, “HOW TO REBUILD SHATTERED DREAMS.” At request, I started this blog to give out additional information. It took me some work to free myself and it took a combination of many laws and principles to do it.

I went from darkness into light. Without the vision to compare my life to, I would not have realized how dark my life was and how it stopped me from enjoying simple moments. To learn how to cut the chain, it made the experience very valuable to me. I deeply love and appreciate my struggles and tumbling into darkness. The rebuilding process is what has given me the greatest joy. Now, I know anything can happen in my life and I will be okay. I understand the tools and laws it takes to rebuild it any way I want.

My heart goes out to the youth of our world. Since my depression started when I was five, I also wrote a book for them. I took everything I learned about rebuilding your life and put it in a fictional fun story. My greatest desire was to reach out to them. I wanted them to know that they will be okay. My story to them is the “STONES’ QUEST” series.

To give you a synopsis of what I have learned, I will list it below:

• How to get affirmations to work perfectly for you.
• How to erase negative thoughts and replace them with what you want to have happen in your life.
• How to replace trauma emotionally or physically with peace, only taking the lessons you learned with you into the future.
• Learn the value of who you are and the feeling of success every day of your life.
• Learn how to bring what you truly want into your life and not what life has programmed you to expect.

I can go on, but I’ll stop here. The point is people have asked me to teach the principles so you can learn how to do this for yourself. So I’m working on the seminars that I will be holding on the Internet. I have a nine-page single spaced outline of information.

I hope to have the seminar ready to start by the middle of the summer. In the meantime, you can learn what the seminar will be like by reading my books. “HOW TO REBUILD SHATTERED DREAMS” is for the adults and the “STONES’ QUEST” series is for the ages ten to seventeen.

I hope you find these Thoughts of Encouragement helpful.

Thoughts of Encouagement - testimonials

Thoughts of Encouragement - I have something that I would like to add to my first article. You probably have read the article and wondered if it really was possible to remove emotional scars permanently.

Below, you will be able to read an testimonial from a doctor I have been working with. You might find it interesting. When I say that I can change your past, you have to really wonder if it is possible. I can remove emotional scars and rebuild your shattered dreams if you truly want to let them go.

“The work that LaRene does has a profound ability to help someone erase or reprogram misplaced subconscious beliefs systems. It does this as permanently as any method of technique that I have encountered thru my 28 years in the health field. I have seen it make profound changes in my patients, who have cleared memories, out of these tissues and cells but still keep getting retriggered or have a specific issue that keeps throwing them back into the same negative emotional pattern.

LaRene’s technique has been able to allow them to identify and remove this trigger or pattern out of their mental programs.The expression that I have heard repeatedly is, “It is gone, it is not there anymore. I really feel different than I did before- really different.” Time seems to have proven it’s value and even many months after the process they still report “that it is gone,” when asked for their evaluation of its effect on them.

One of the very nice things about her method is that it is very client directed and noninvasive. There is no suggestive nature to the work from the facilitator. The client is aware that they are in direct control of the process at all times and that the answers are coming from the and their mind. It is not a session of reliving an unpleasant experience or having to dredge up some ugly memory. It is gentle, very non-confrontational, but profoundly effective and permanent in its effect on the individual to change either emotional reaction to subconscious triggers and negative emotional patterns”

Dr. Randy Roberts - Soli-Wellness Center - Layton, Utah

This is one of his patients!

“LaRene’s book and seminars have been an incredible blessing in my life. With her help, I have been able to release trauma and pain that has affected not only my life but also the life of the ancestors. …Her approach is simple and profound.

Stefonia Lindsey, Wife, Mother

There are more!

“I read the book, How to Rebuild Shattered Dreams which is absolutely excellent. When I heard about the seminar, I wanted to find out all I could. LaRene had a really good presentation and I’m anxious to go back and clear out more scars. She has been blessed with a very special gift and can help almost anyone.”

What is the media saying about Real Estate?

Have we hit bottom in real estate? Have we hit bottom? Real Estate is most people’s biggest investment. So what is happening within the market? According to the Fortune magazine, they are saying it has been the lowest in seventeen years. So what does this mean?

Let’s break it down and look at it. The most important buyer in real estate is the first time buyers. They stimulate production of new homes because they usually buy existing homes. For every new home that is build, you need a new person in the market to take an existing home. The demand for housing is what pushes up prices. According to Fortune magazine, the newbies in real estate are coming back. If you want to read more about it, there is the link to it. 

The downward spiral in real estate we experienced in this country really hit California the hardest. The analysts are seeing some hope. In May, they had a 18% jump compared to May of 2007. Yet, they are not saying it is over. Prices took a beating plummeting 35% during the same period, according to a report from the California Association of Realtors.

What is happening in California and Florida will come back. Americans loves bargain. When the price is right, people will buy again. Jonas Lee, a principle of New Your bases Redbrick Partners, which buys distressed properties all over the country, says he’s watching California closely, but isn’t ready to jump into the dray just yet. When they do, you know the market has hit bottom.

This is why I think they are waiting. California still have to much inventory. The Santa Barbara County area has been particularly hard hit. You can read more by going to the link here. 

The point is real estate is still a good investment. It’s like the stock market. The only difference, real estate takes longer to move and down. When you need to liquidate, it takes longer than stocks and mutual funds. You really need to remember this and keep your long-term money in real estate if this is your favorite investment. 

 “In some areas the real estate market is moving up. Slowly it is moving up. In May, exiting homes gained a 2% to an annual rate of nearly 5 million. The National Association of Realtors said that the number of existing homes sold during the May rose 2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.99 million units in May from a level of 4.89 million in April.

Analysts were expecting the sales rate to increase to 4.95 million last month, according to a consensus of analysts’ estates gather by Breifing.com”

So what happens if you really want or need to sell your home? In my other articles, I’ll talk about how to dress up your investment to get the most from your home. I am a licensed real estate broker and I would like to give you some tips. See you in my next post. Ten ways to sell your home quickly. 

The Power of Color Series - Part 1

A couple of days ago, I was talking with a group of people. When we got on the subject of color, everyone seemed very interested in my knowledge of it and how it affects us.

I explained that I had found this research by going to the library in the early 1980s. I haven’t done a lot of research since then. If I knew where I could get more, I would love to read it.

Someone requested I put my findings on my blog. So I went through my papers and found the information that I dug out of the library. My information all comes from print books and magazines. If there’s someone out there who can add to it, please do by leaving a comment at the end. I want research and not something from a book that isn’t backed up by research that you can go read yourself.

Looking over my papers, I still like this article, The Power of Color. I found some of the sources on my own and I found the information to be accurate. Today, I found myself enjoying the article as much as I did in 1980. It was written by Leslie Kane in July 1982 for a magazine called Health. In my research, I found a book I think was well written. It was printed by Architecture Digest in the early 1980s. I only have pages copied out of it because it was a limited edition, so please let me know what you want. I’ll start with the article. Here are the first three paragraphs of The Power of Color - and you can decide for yourself.

“Why should hanging pretty red wallpaper in your bedroom inspire you and your spouse to make war and not love? Why does a teacher who holds sway in a yellow-and-brown classroom complain that your child’s fidgety and inattentive while a teacher who instructs in a blue room calls him a model student? And why should your job suddenly become more depressing instead of less when the boss finally shells out for a paint job and your dirty white walls get a coat of nice fresh green?
It’s a matter of science—the science of experiencing color.”

This next part I found to be true in a couple of other books that are out of print.

“Colors are electromagnetic wavebands of energy,” says Alexander Schauss, director of the American Institute of Biosocial Research in Tacoma, Washington. “Each color has its own wavelength. The wavebands stimulate chemicals in your eye, sending impulses or messages to the pituitary and pineal glands near the brain. These are master endocrine glands that regulate hormones and other physiological systems in the body.” Stimulated by response to colors, glandular activities can alter moods, speed up heart rates and increase brain activity.”

If you find this information interesting, I will continue entering Leslie’s article and other information from books that are out of print. Please let me know how you feel about this by leaving a comment below. The picture above is one of my favorite pictures from the Hubble telescope. The color is beaufitul and this is a part of our universe. Color is important to your well-being.

Have you ever wondered how your life could change if you ever wrote an book?

People are starting to know me as a novelist. I’m surprised to learn how many people want or are trying to become an author of books. It surprises me because it wasn’t my goal to be an author. Before I wrote my first novel, I never ever thought about writing. Instead, I went to great lengths to avoid it.

From what I hear from other authors, I think my story is unique. Most people, I’ve spoken too thought about writing their story a lot. They planned out what they were going to write, the genre, and the outline of how the story unfolded. For me, my story is different. I accidentally discovered a story that was inside of me. Then I couldn’t’ stop it from coming out.

I’ve found people fascinated with this story on how I became an author, So I decided to write about it on my blog, rebuild shattered dreams. Maybe it might inspire someone to discover a hidden talent that they might have been buried deep inside, like me. Sometime, we have no idea what we can do until we have no choice but to walk through our fears and do it. This is what happened to me. I’m so grateful for the experience. It showed a side of me that I didn’t know existed.

Before I tell you my story, I need to point out one more thing. This is important to know. I found writing anything to be emotionally painful. In my book, “How to Rebuild Shattered Dreams,” I go into detail about why a simple note terrified me. Today, I’m going to tell something that I didn’t put in the book. How I was forced to face my fear of writing.

For five years of my life, I had been a real estate agent and enjoyed it. Finally at the end of my fourth year, I decided to get my real estate brokers license. After, I received it. I made the choice to go out on my own. For me, it was the smartest thing, I ever did. What happened next made it possible for me to deal with the changes that were about to take place in my life.

It was November 2000 and for the first time in my career, I had sold my entire inventory. It was strange to have no buyers either. In my area, November and December are traditionally our slowest months in real estate. Ever though, I have written and presented offers on Christmas Eve. This year, it was going to be different. I was tired and grateful to take a break.

Five days into my vacation, I had the most bizarre event take place in my life that has permanently changed my life. I woke up discovering that I couldn’t speak. My voice was gone. When I tried to force a whisper, it caused my lungs to go into long coughing spells. If I laughed, the coughing spells would appear. It sounded and felt like I was coughing up my lungs.

The problem didn’t make it easy for me to go out into public. I wasn’t sick. The doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with me. They just called it a virus assuring me that I would have to ride it out. Little did I know that it would take me ninety days for my voice to return and my lungs be able to take a deep breath again.

The winter was long and cold. We had little wind and storms in our area. When you live in the tops of mountains, you can easily get an inversion where the cold air is trapped to the floor of the valley. This happens when you have little wind or storms. Even if no one lives in the valley, it can happen. Our inversion spread from Provo, Utah to Pocatello, Idaho and it was thick.

I struggled to go outside and breath the air that winter. Never in my life had my lungs been a problem for me, so why was the winter of 2000 to 2001 different. My health problems trapped me inside a room in my home. I couldn’t be away from the humidifier or air purifiers without my lungs coughing to hard it could cause my bladder to have problems. They weren’t portable. So every morning, I picked a room and stayed there all day breathing fresh, moist air.

In November 2000, I did not have an email address and I don’t think I knew someone who did. Maybe, I did know someone. I just didn’t use them because I was terrified to write. I do know they weren’t as popular then as they are today. Either way, I had to write down my thoughts on a note pad if I wanted something. Remember, I told you earlier that I found writing emotionally painful and it terrified me.

This virus seemed to perfectly design to force me to face my fears. In the process, I discovered something very special regarding me. Those ninety days, I spent trapped in a room with a humidifier and air purifier has forever changed my life. It changed my career and how I view the world in away, I cannot ever go back…

This post is getting a little long. In my next post, I’ll tell you what happened, during those ninety days. My hope is it inspires you find something special about yourself. I’ll see you next time. Below are a couple of the books, I wrote because of this experience.

Part 1 of 4 - Depression: Charge it up too your Thoughts

On our local news the other night, they gave the national and local statistics on depression and suicides. It was disturbing to hear how high the numbers were. The numbers, I assume were based on people receiving help or those who have already committed or attempted suicide. What about the ones who are in denial or sitting on the edge?

It bothered me because I have been at both ends of the spectrum. As a child, I was very depressed and it was comfortable to be there. So what changed and how did I work myself out of this dark place. First, you need to know what caused the depression if you want to come out. For me, it happened at the age of four. My mother died and our father walked out on us. This experience plunged me into deep waters for survival.

Luckily, I was too young to understand how to end my life. My mother had taught me to pray before she left. Each night, I prayed for God to end my life. While other children were praying for a bike or something new. I wanted to stop breathing. The pain was too much for me, and I went deeper into depression every time I woke up.

So what happened? How did I come from such a dark beginning to a bright and wonderful life leaving all scars behind me? I did it without medication so I know exactly what steps I took. For the record, there isn’t a magic bullet. You can take steps to prevent yourself from getting in this state and keeping yourself out. Once, you get help.

I want to share what I did in hopes you find something helpful. The turning point in my life came unexpected and it showed me how scarred I was. I was an adult and my negative thought patterns were deeply entranced in my mind. In my book, How to Rebuild Shattered Dreams, I go into detail on how I got into this depression and how I came out. So here, I’m going to only give a highlight. If you want more information, there is always the book.

If you had asked me about depression years ago, I would’ve answered that I had never felt it. I wasn’t lying. What I’m saying is, I had never felt joy so I did not know the difference. How do you understand light, if you had never seen it?

This is what I discovered and I plan on covering it in the next four-blog articles. The plan is to break it down into small bits so you can see something useful to ingrain into your life. We are in denial not because we want to be. We are there because we do not know better or we’re afraid the truth might be unmanageable.

Before you can help yourself, you need to see where you truly are. This can be very frightening. At least, it was for me. Years ago, we had a son from his birth who always seemed angry. He had a big chip on his shoulder.

After weeks of trying different ideas, my husband, Jack came up an idea of taking our son to a mirror and not letting him leave until he had told himself twenty-five times that he loved Josh. After the first week, our son started to change.

For the next few paragraphs, I’m taking excerpts from my book.

In my amazement, Josh started to change. He became happier. One day, Jack invited me to see Josh repeat his words, I love Josh, twenty-five times. Grinning, Josh passed by as Jack smiled at me. Reaching a hand out to me, he asked, “Can you do it?”

Fear consumed me as I attempted to follow Josh. I said, “Sure, anyone can do that. It’s easy.” Before I could leave the doorway, Jack had a hold of my wrists and yanked me into the room. Leaving me in front of the mirror, he stood in the doorway and said, “You do it.”

As I stared at myself, I became even more afraid. The fear became so strong that I felt like Jack had just shoved me into a cage with a hungry tiger. I felt trapped, fear charging throughout every cell of my body. I looked at Jack with my face as white as a ghost. Not giving him notice, I charged him, expecting him to move.

He didn’t and I was so afraid. Not realizing what I was doing, I stepped on his thigh, attempting to climb over him. Jack grabbed a hold and pulled me down. With his arms wrapped around me, he easily brought me back in front of the mirror and repeated his words.

Seeing myself in the mirror, I fought to get away from his grip. Being only ninety-eight pounds, it was easy for Jack to hold me. He repeated his words and I pleaded with him to let me go. When he said no, I felt the invisible arms join him.

Being so familiar with Him, I pleaded with Him to help me get away from Jack. Instantly, I knew HE was was on Jack’s side as well. Looking at myself, I started to cry from the depths of my soul. By doing it, I saw in mind all the layer of shock that I had endured at the hands of others. For the first time, my soul felt the love from the invisible arms.

After being in Jack’s and my creator’s arms, I couldn’t get the vision of all the layers of scars out of my mind. What were they made from? How would i see them now for the first time? I had so many questions, not realizing what was being opened up to me. Hope was being breathed into my life, my soul, and my heart for the first time. It was a chance to rid myself of the pain I had endured for so many years. It started to consume me.

You have to see and embrace the fact you are depressed before you can change anything and get help. Next time, I want to talk about how to recognize the thought patterns that take you down the path towards depression. If you understand how to get there, you will know how to bring yourself back.

The Power of Color - Part 2

It seems like you want more so I’m going to keep going. So I’ll add a few more paragraphs from my favorite article on the subject of color. The article was out of a magaize Called Heath - July 1982 by Leslie Kane.

In any given society, particular colors affect almost everyone in the same way. “Colors have a uniform effect within a Western European tradition, which includes Japan,” says Margaret Walch, director of the Color Association of the United States, which standardizes the 192 colors in current use by industry and government.

In general, dark colors strike us as evil and foreboding, while light colors seem not only cheerful but physically light as well. Bonnie Bender, color marketing manager at Pittsburgh Paints and an authority on color and psychology, reports that in an experiment testing the psychological effects of paint on worker productivity, researchers painted heavy boxes white and light boxes black. Workmen had considerable more trouble lifting the light black boxes than the heavy white ones.

Marcella Graham, a medical technologist, color consultant and interior designer, described an equally dramatic example of the use of color to lift depression and stimulate activity. Called in for a consultation on staff and patient apathy in a hospital, she found the whole place painted light and medium chocolate brown and two shades of grey green. Graham advised painting the hospital floor by floor, using pumpkin orange, strawberry pink, emerald green and lavender. (Simply putting in pink curtains or orange bedspreads produced its effect.) Patient response to the brilliant colors was immediate and positive. Elderly men shaved and dressed to get out of bed each day. Female patients began circulating and visiting in the halls and requested powder, combs, lipstick and stockings. Even staff morale picked up.

If colors exert such a powerful force on mental and physical health, it behooves us to know more about them.”

Next time, we will break down each color. I’ll start with this article and add research from other sources.
