You are probably wondering what this blog is all about! Let me tell you.

Let me introduce myself. My name is LaRene Ellis. I came into this life like everyone else. I wasn’t hatched but what happened afterward was different. I lost my parents and siblings. It was sad that I never was allowed to belong to a family. It changed my life and made me who I am today. A person full of hope and joy. It changed my life to where I help others get through their tough times to put a smile on their face.

My childhood was taken from me. It put me a deep depression at the age of four. Happiness was a foreign feeling. Out of it, I learned a simple recipe to live life with joy even during the challenge of breast cancer. In my book, How to Rebuild Shattered Dreams. I will give you a simple recipe that you can follow so you can be happy no matter what is happening in your life. You’ll learn to be in control.

What I learned helped when breast cancer knocked on my door. The recipe allowed me to feel joy and happiness through chemo and all the challenges you face. The experience made filled me with gratitude for my past. What I learned made it all worth while. The peace to know ‘I’m not afraid of the future and I’m not hiding my past. I enjoy the moment without baggage. It keeps me always in control.

On my website, My Journal - has stories in it about how I got started writing. You might find it interesting or numb. I don’t know. It’s hard to put yourself out there, when you’re really shy. If you knew me, you would know how hard this is. I do it because I have hope and I know how you can have it too.

Seminars - By request of my readers, this is what I started to do when I contracted Breast Cancer. It’s Her2/neu – Positive Breast Cancer at stage four. It is a vicious cancer that likes to move fast and it did. I had it in my liver and bones besides my breast. It’s out of my breast with 70% gone in liver after nine weeks. Now, they are focused on my liver. I hope to get back to presenting seminars that changes people’s lives permanently. I teach how to live without fear and have hope as a constant companion. You will okay no matter what happens to you in your life.

Case Studies - Are different areas that I’ve helped people overcome. I started this page right before I contracted cancer. I have a lot more to put into it and I will as I get time. If you know someone who is facing cancer treatment,  you’ll find the herbs and oils that have helped me eliminate some of the side effects of chemo. You can purchase from me some of the remedies. During chemo, I wasn’t able to go out in public so I would appreciate buying anything on line.  I’m not making money from it after my overhead of shipping it myself to you. I hope I do not go into the hole.  There is not a large profit margin in herbs and oil, which is why you don’t see everyone jumping into trying to push them to make money. Some of the remedies, you will have to purchase from the store and they worked wonderfully. I hope they do for you too.

Positive Living – Here you will find video made by other authors regarding positive life style. I’ve started with a video from the author ‘The Secret.’ She has a beautiful video about affirmations. I have tips on how to get the most out of the videos and how to apply them to your life. Each week, I plan on adding a new video.

Look around and I hope you find something that will help you in my articles. Don’t feel like you need to buy my books. If you choose too, I will autograph it from this site. Amazon also carry them. We all like Amazon because they have everything.

Depression can be complicated because it can have so many facets and triggers. In this series of articles, I’m going to attempt to break them down. This article is going to cover how we perceive what is happening around us.

Our perceptions of life are based on our thoughts. If you have negative thoughts, you see nothing but negative perceptions. Some can say “Hi” to us and we can take it as “What do they want?” We interrupt their words totally wrong, if we are embracing the negative side of life.

Love has a lot to do with our thoughts. Let me start by saying, love and hate are at the feeling and it is attacked to every thought. You might be wondering why love or hate is at the base of every thought? Our spirits come into the world fill with love. So every thought is anchored with the emotion. Somewhere, we choice to deplete our love and hate replaced it.

When we allow others to deplete our love, we can start deep a road of depression. With us being on this road, we see the negative side of everything and decide there is no beauty. If we can’t say something nice about someone, it means, we could be on this destructive path of depression. We could be depressed and not know it.

For an example, I found intermingled with depression was anger. We are usually anger about something. Anger is dangerous to hang onto. When you find your self thinking “this angers me,” you need to move quickly through it and let it go. Some of us chose to hold onto our anger and it can do some serious damage to our body. I can tell some story about it but I’ll talk about it in another article.

We need to let go of our negative thoughts. Another example, we have proven with plants how negative and positive words can affect them. If a plant gets exposed to a contact diet of words of hate. They will grow away from the source or they die. So what are we doing to your self? Depression is the by-product of negative thoughts. Hate and anger can sometimes hold us in this state of depression. You might be in complete control of your depression and maybe not. The maybe not, I want to walk about next.

Some people tell me that they find it hard to think of something positive. Others have expressed to me that they feel depressed about something. They can’t see it or have any knowledge to why they should feel this sad heaviness that is always there. Lately, I’ve heard a lot of people express that they have learned that depression runs in their family. So now how can this happen?

Scientists have proven lately that thoughts and feeling can be passed on from one generation to another. I can explain how this happens scientifically but I won’t go into it now. Right now, you need to know it happens and you need to make a decision on how you’re going to handle it.

So how do you identify if what you are feeling is your thoughts or ancestors? If you’re feeling negative feeling like a heaviness, loneness, and etc, it could easily be an ancestral thought. Especially, if you try to change it and you find yourself frustrated because you struggle to see anything-new happening. You might be able to will a new decision for a while but if you relax for a moment. It is right back there.

When this happens, it can be very frustrating. You feel like you are hitting your head up against a wall, trying to function. You can’t push it away and ignore it. This is a painful depression because you feel helpful to rid yourself of it. When this happens to you, we as humans tend to blame ourselves for your life not going the way we want. It might not be your fault.

If it’s ancestral, you can break the anchor and I’ve learned how to permanently heal the ancestral decision. To give you an example, let me tell you about a man, I happened to be in a class with. When we got onto this subject, he mentioned that he had a problem with hating his in-laws. He explained that he had never experienced anything negative with them but he felt anger and hatred towards any of his date’s parents. Yet, he was quite emotional expressing that he deeply loved his present in-laws. He emphatically expressed they had done nothing to him but show him kindness. So why did he feel this way?

The teacher asked his mind to research out the reason why? In his mind, he shortly saw his great grandfather standing on a porch of his fiancé’ house with a dingy single light. They wouldn’t allow him to see their daughter because they weren’t going to allow her to marry him. They felt he was the right person for her. He made the decision to hate in-laws. Since it was a decision made with a lot of emotions of hate and anger. It affected his progenitors. The decision attacked to his DNA and was passed on his grandson.

Once he had identified the problem, the teacher showed him how to reverse the moment with his great grandfather and permanently erase that memory from being apart of him. He walked out of the class never feeling that emotion again. When our ancestors chose not to forgive someone for their imperfections, their decision can be pass on to you and it can leave you confused and frustrated because you have no idea why you feel this way.

Next time, we’ll talk about more negative decisions that you can control and they cause depression.
