		<description><![CDATA[Sandy Brewer, author, speaker, therapist, coach and humanitarian, has lived a life that is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit, which is brilliantly captured in her best-selling memoir, Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey.   For over thirty years Sandy has helped and inspired thousands of people to move beyond their personal challenges in order to explore and embrace the possibilities in their own lives. She has spoken at venues from Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York, to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.  She is a regular contributor to Global Woman Magazine and has been featured on numerous television shows including a special segment on her life and work on NBC’s Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and a nationally televised documentary.  

Sandy Brewer, with her compelling compassion, wit, and wisdom, offers a pathway out of darkness into light with warmth and richness.  She is a dynamic, inspirational woman who suffered such severe and near-fatal abuse as a child that she was drawn so deeply into the dark that she found the light.  With her empowering insights and natural good-humor, Sandy offers the profound lessons of her personal journey and how they apply equally to people from all walks of life and in all circumstances.  Along the road to her own healing, she developed seminal techniques that enabled her not only to overcome, but also literally gain strength from these experiences.  She has devoted her life to helping adults and children recognize that they are loved, and that no matter what happened yesterday it is insignificant to what lies within the core of one’s being today.  Now Sandy has memorialized her innovative work and techniques in Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey, an entertaining, soul-stirring, master trope in the art of healing that shares her true-life story of how she came to find the presence of Light within her, and the “how to’s” of choice – how you, too, can look at your life from a new perspective and create new choices.

Sandy Brewer is available to speak to your group or organization and can be reached either directly at 760-230-8123 or through her personal email sandy@pursuitoflight.com

		<description><![CDATA[Sandy Brewer, author, speaker, therapist, coach and humanitarian, has lived a life that is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit, which is brilliantly captured in her best-selling memoir, Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey.   For over thirty years Sandy has helped and inspired thousands of people to move beyond their personal challenges in order to explore and embrace the possibilities in their own lives. She has spoken at venues from Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York, to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.  She is a regular contributor to Global Woman Magazine and has been featured on numerous television shows including a special segment on her life and work on NBC’s Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and a nationally televised documentary.  

Sandy, with her compelling compassion, wit, and wisdom, offers a pathway out of darkness into light with warmth and richness.  She is a dynamic, inspirational woman who suffered such severe and near-fatal abuse as a child that she was drawn so deeply into the dark that she found the light.  With her empowering insights and natural good-humor, Sandy offers the profound lessons of her personal journey and how they apply equally to people from all walks of life and in all circumstances.  Along the road to her own healing, she developed seminal techniques that enabled her not only to overcome, but also literally gain strength from these experiences.  She has devoted her life to helping adults and children recognize that they are loved, and that no matter what happened yesterday it is insignificant to what lies within the core of one’s being today.  Now Sandy has memorialized her innovative work and techniques in Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey, an entertaining, soul-stirring, master trope in the art of healing that shares her true-life story of how she came to find the presence of Light within her, and the “how to’s” of choice – how you, too, can look at your life from a new perspective and create new choices.

Sandy Brewer is available to speak to your group or organization and can be reached either directly at 760-230-8124 or through Antoinette Kuritz, Strategies Literary Public Relations 858-476-1978

		<description><![CDATA[Do you have baggage? Of course you do. Because if you're like most people, we've all had experiences that ranged from absolutely great to less than ideal and sometimes all the way down to simply horrific! But it's not the amount of baggage we've traipsed through or even how we got it that makes the difference. It's what we make of the baggage and how we use it to move forward. 

I get this part. I was once the Queen of Baggage. Coming out of a deeply abusive past that almost took my life more than once, desperation was my inspiration. It drove me into stumbling my way into what ultimately became my healing. 

So how do we let go of the baggage that keeps us from maximizing our potential? How do we connect with ourselves and the light within which is greater than any dark - that light which is the promise of all that we can be, the grace of a wisdom greater than any doubt, the recognition that nothing needs to stand between us and our fulfillment? 

Through the experiences of my own life, as well as over 30 years as a counselor, workshop leader, and speaker, I've learned life changing principles that can and do heal the past and open the door to a new day. 

In Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey., I share the insights that have allowed me to come out of the shadow of a brutalized life into one of robust success, fulfillment and love. 

It's a universal message. It doesn't matter what got our baggage to weigh heavy on our backs. Whether it comes from abuse, or loss, or "I can't let go of the guy/gal that just dumped me," or "I just am not that thrilled about being me," it's all the same sludge. How we deal with it in the now will determine not only how we experience today, but how we lead ourselves into our future. 

It's quite a journey. I invite you to take it with me and discover: 
How to let go of the past and transform your dreams into the now. 
How to reshape past experiences of limitation into present and future success and freedom. 
How to be empowered with a simple, but potent, shift in your point of view that can change your reality immediately. 
How to improve the quality of your life and relationships by understanding your power of choice today!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">In this current 24/7 political news-cycle world of “he said, she said” it’s amazing that we haven’t all gone mad.<span>  </span>But it is a perfect snapshot of a dysfunctional family/relationship, and how to abdicate personal responsibility.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Republican or Democrat, Libertarian or Independent, how we live our personal lives will reflect in our public ones.<span>  </span>We don’t have to be featured on MSNBC or CNN, our even any of the morning shows to have established our true values and to take personal responsibility for our choices.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">If I want a relationship, I have to take responsibility – not blame – for the ways in which I have used relationships to reflect my doubts, self-esteem that is too low, arrogance that is too high, desperation which automatically disempowers.<span>  </span>I could always blame the other guy for my current situations; I could continue to be upset about every jerk I’ve ever dated (it couldn’t have been me, could it?); or I could go all pundit clone and relentlessly play the irritating and irresponsible “he said/she said” card.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Here are the real facts.<span>  </span>If you want your future to be different than your past, you have to be willing to change the way you respond to situations and circumstances in the now.<span>  </span>If you’ve been dating – or marrying – jerks, you have to be willing to comprehend how your choices are a mirror of your own doubts, judgments, and self-esteem.<span>  </span>We all have the power to choose, and we all have the power to change.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Or we could just run for political office and practice our finger pointing.</span></p>

Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey - by Sandy Brewer - is a rave triumph of the human spirit.  An authentic, true-life page turner, horrific and inspirational, brilliant and compelling, filled with practical teachings of empowerment and compassion.  Beautifully blending wisdom, humor and pathos, it profoundly demonstrates an uplifting pathway out of darkness into light.

Book Excerpt
Let’s have a brief review.
No true change is going to happen without choice. And no true choice is going to be implemented without will, heavily laced with more than a little courage. One of the gutsier choices has to be the willingness to give up one’s story. A story is: My mother plotted to kill me (which mine did), and so I am screwed forever. Too dramatic for our daily lives? A story is: The clerk in the store was rude to me but not the skinny blonde next to me, so it must be because I’m fat or drab or that the wart on my nose hasn’t fallen off yet. Or maybe all three. A story is: My partner just yelled at me and now I have to be a victim because, after all, people always yell at me…. Nobody ever, ever treats me right. I never get any breaks. It always rains.
Basically a story is anything we get attached to—and play and replay—in order to validate that we don’t have any worth. It’s the addictive drama—the head noise of inner war. Even if everyone is doing what we think they’re doing, we still have to detach from the story—the idea that our value is on the line. It’s not. So, our persistent three-act plays, with all their good guy/bad guy dialogues, have got to go. I know that doesn’t seem fair. And it’s probably not. But it’s required anyway.
These are the choices necessary to achieve change:
Take a moment, breathe deep, and remember this is only a list. Do with it what you will.
1.	Adopt a living-philosophy/point of view/passionate belief system that is greater than your    history and/or pain. Mine is: God and I are one.
2.	Make the choice that you are not a victim. I don’t care who did what, when, or where.      There’s a good chance I’ve got a story that can top yours, and, trust me, I am not a victim. You, too, are not a victim. Not unless you give someone else your mind, and you are always in charge of that. No excuses. Adopting the consciousness and lifestyle of a victim is a choice. It is not a result over which you have no power.
3.	Let go of your attachment to drama. It’s theatre, and not very good theatre, played out on  a stage in a cluttered attic. Change your mind. Constant drama is a way of trying to be special; it’s a way of trying to validate that you are alive and important. It’s based on the perspective that you don’t feel special and don’t really feel alive or connected in your core. If your life is a freakin’ soap opera, then chances are that you are compensating for a shit load of unworthiness. You’re really not unworthy, but you’re building a life based on your fear that you are.


4. Do unto others…. Life is in many ways a mirror. The ways in which you repeatedly, both overtly and covertly, criticize/judge others are always a reflection on yourself. If criticizing and judging others is a reflection back to yourself (and it is), that’s not a kind way to treat someone with whom you’re supposed to be falling in love—namely you.
Well, I think that’s enough listing for right now.
Is this list doable?
Absolutely.
If you haven’t already done it, can it change your life?
Indubitably. In the doing is the undoing.
Will it take devotion, commitment, effort, and work?
Yes, but we are all worth our own effort.
Is the list simple to understand?
Relatively.
Easy?
Not on your life.
But don’t forget, it’s very, very doable.
If we have the courage to reach for change, life will find a new way to dance with us, leading, gliding, tripping, and bumping us into new pathways. New lights. New potentials that let us unfold a life greater than the stages of our past. Greater than the stories that keep contracting us into the limitations and darkness of our fears.

A human behavior specialist, a gifted speaker, and a therapist with over thirty year’s experience, Sandy uplifts audiences with her personal story of hope and empowerment while offering strategies for self-development and successful life-changing principles that have radically improved the lives of countless people throughout the country.  Her memoir, PUSUIT OF LIGHT, AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY, is based on her gripping true-life story.  She can be reached at her website www.PursuitOfLight.com.

<p> Inspirational Thought</p>
<p>Do you understand what forgiveness is?  It isn&#8217;t looking at yourself or anyone else and saying, &#8220;You&#8217;re a miserable excuse for a human being, and I forgive you anyway.&#8221;  Forgiveness is about letting go in peace.  It&#8217;s turning toward the part of you that probably did screw up and having compassion for your mistakes and for whomever it is you were when you made them.  It&#8217;s not about abdicating responsibility.  But at some point in time, you have to let go of the self judgment&#8211;the part of  you that has been operating as a relentless tyrant&#8211;you have to let it go.</p>
<div>Ultimately, forgiveness is about understanding that from a spiritual point of view, there&#8217;s nothing to forgive.</div>

		<description><![CDATA[Sandy Brewer, with her compelling compassion, wit, and wisdom, offers a pathway out of darkness into light with warmth and richness.  She is a dynamic, inspirational woman who suffered such severe and near-fatal abuse as a child that she was drawn so deeply into the dark that she found the light.  With her empowering insights and natural good-humor, Sandy offers the profound lessons of her personal journey and how they apply equally to people from all walks of life and in all circumstances.  Along the road to her own healing, she developed seminal techniques that enabled her not only to overcome, but also literally gain strength from these experiences.  She has devoted her life to helping adults and children recognize that they are loved, and that no matter what happened yesterday it is insignificant to what lies within the core of one’s being today.  Now Sandy has memorialized her innovative work and techniques in Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey, an entertaining, soul-stirring, master trope in the art of healing that shares her true-life story of how she came to find the presence of Light within her, and the “how to’s” of choice – how you, too, can look at your life from a new perspective and create new choices.

Sandy Brewer is available to speak to your group or organization and can be reached either directly at 760-230-8123 or through your Speakers’ Bureau.

		<description><![CDATA[Sandy, with her compelling compassion, wit, and wisdom, offers a pathway out of darkness into light with warmth and richness.  She is a dynamic, inspirational woman who suffered such severe and near-fatal abuse as a child that she was drawn so deeply into the dark that she found the light.  With her empowering insights and natural good-humor, Sandy offers the profound lessons of her personal journey and how they apply equally to people from all walks of life and in all circumstances.  Along the road to her own healing, she developed seminal techniques that enabled her not only to overcome, but also literally gain strength from these experiences.  She has devoted her life to helping adults and children recognize that they are loved, and that no matter what happened yesterday it is insignificant to what lies within the core of one’s being today.  Now Sandy has memorialized her innovative work and techniques in Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey, an entertaining, soul-stirring, master trope in the art of healing that shares her true-life story of how she came to find the presence of Light within her, and the “how to’s” of choice – how you, too, can look at your life from a new perspective and create new choices.

Sandy Brewer is available to speak to your group or organization and can be reached either directly at 760-230-8123 or through your Speakers’ Bureau.
