About Me and My Book:
As a life coach and employment counsellor, I've spent the last twelve years designing and facilitating government programs for clients in employment transition. Then came the day when I finally needed to listen to my soul's calling (and the requests of my clients!) to write my non-fiction book! So I took a leap of faith and left my "normal" corporate world of 9-5 in April 2007 in order to complete my manuscript. What a great decision with amazing results! The people I have met along my journey have been an inspirational part of my process.

"This Reality is Only An Option" is due for release in the New Year of 2008. Please see http://www.brendablackburn.com/about-the-book.php. More details to follow! (When the book is released, more specifics will be added to my website.)

I've also just started up a new monthly newsletter and podcast, entitled "Inspiration and Illumination". If you'd like to take a peek, you can find a copy of September's at: http://brendablackburn.com/newsletter/sept-2007.php .

I currently write from my home near Vancouver in BC, Canada, with my talented husband Rob, a musician and cruiseship music enteratainment agent .

You can also find me on Author Nation: http://www.authornation.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&Itemid=26 and

Author Nation website

I recently discovered the Author Nation site: http://www.authornation.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&Itemid=26 . This is affiliated with Infinity Publishing, but appears to be open to all. Another opportunity to network with authors!

Are you on MySpace?

In Steve Weber's book, Plug Your Book, he mentions the use of MySpace to connect with 1000's of people. Are you signed up? I just did, and would love to add you to my network there. Please join me at: www.myspace.com/brendablackburn. See you there!

New Kid on the Block

Hi everyone! Please bear with me as I build my page. You may also visit me at: www.brendablackburn.com. In addition, I just came back from the Writers for Change conference, which was held in San Francisco in August. I've talked about my experience there, included inner and outer labyrnith journeys in my September newsletter and podcast. You can take a peek at: http://brendablackburn.com/newsletter/sept-2007.php . I look forward to talking with you soon!

I send you greetings of peace and love from the rest of the family. They, like I, are always with you and never leave or forsake you. The angels and the rest of us want you to know how precious you are to us.

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.

Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.

You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.

Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.

Joyfully, Jesus

Ah, a fellow Canadian. Pleased to meet you Brenda. From Sask. here. I'm trying desperately to learn all I can about promoting myself and my books. A little overwhelming at times.

Walking in the Light
So Jesus said to them, "For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. "While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light."

Brenda,
Thank you for your kind words, and being my friend. There is still a stigma with suicide and people just don't want to talk about it in public.
Last weekend I had a booksigning, and people stopped and looked at the books, and went into the store to buy them at the register. I must have spoken to at least 25 older men about their grandchildren. Knowing that I may be helping them is such a wonderful reward.

I love your "This Reality is Only an Option." In my book, Angel's Dance, one of my poems is entitled, "I've Had It With Reality." I'm definitely interested in your newsletter. Good luck to you.

Yeah! I think I'll bring it over to this page as well because it's such an amazing way to connect us all into ONE thought of peace. Thanks for reminding me and thanks for meditating with the "peeps" of the world!
