STUDYIN’
Many people wonder what some of the things were that I used to help me with my child (and help myself). ;o) Besides LOTS of prayer, LOTS of scripture reading, these were the things that helped me change my thought patterns and habits and taught me the things I needed to teach my kids.
Books:
The Jackrabbit Factor, Leslie Householder
This book was where I started. I was so enraptured by the story I was reading online as an ebook, that I ran right out to the store, bought the hard copy and also bought this one below:
Hidden Treasures:Heaven’s astonishing help with your money matters
This was my first introduction to Universal law. Everything she wrote was just making sense to me and the fact that she was using scripture to back it up, cemented the deal for me. Love this book!
Portal to Genius, Leslie Householder
This is the “before and after” story to The Jackrabbit factor. This book opened up new concepts to me of the power of thought and money issues.
The Peacegiver, James Ferrell
During the trying times and while learning these new laws and principles, I read this book and the next two listed below. Powerful books on how you look at things and how to find peace in forgiveness and how to do some self reflection. Loved all three!
The Anatomy of Peace
Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box
You Are Here For A Reason, Marnie Pehrson
I love all of Marnie’s books. I think I’ve read most of them. I really connect with Marnie. She has a great way of articulating and helping you understand your purpose here. This is a great book!
Light The World: How Your Brillance Can Shift The Planet, Marnie Pehrson
This book is amazing. Not only am I in this book ;o), but the concepts and analogies are so powerful in understanding our part in this world! LOVE this book!
Courses (Implementation systems) that have helped me change my life:
Family Time Money Freedom
Lifevision

What I “do”
In 2005 while attending some “finance” classes with Mr. Perfect, I realized that I had a terrible mindset when it came to money. I struggled with the concept of “the rich being able to enter into Heaven.” It was a major conflict for me because I wanted money, but I wanted to get into Heaven more, so I had just resigned myself that I had to be “poor.” Over the few years since then, I have learned some very valuable lessons about money and mindset. There was a lot to overcome as I began my own business (or two or three). When I began applying the principles I had learned (a lot of them from the scriptures), then I understood success and hope and realized that I could possibly be a tool to help others also. I’ll be sharing those here.
What Am I Up To??
Well, I own a Fresh Salsa business. It’s pretty good stuff. You can read about it here:
I’ve written a couple of songs:
This song was written for a Girls Camp back in 2002. It’s called “Hold On: A Reflection of Lehi’s Dream.” We’ve sold over 5,000 copies.
Here’s my other song. I wrote this one this year (2011) for our Swiss Days here in Santa Clara. It is a tribute to my great-great Grandmother, Barbara Staheli Graf and her family that left Switzerland and ended up settling Santa Clara. It’s called, “Storms of Faith”
