While nothing was said that was too earth shattering or different, there was a very inspiring piece about Louise Hay.
Louise Hay is a best selling author as well as the extremely successful publisher of Hay House books. If you have purchased any best selling Law of Attraction books over the last 10 years or so, you might be very familiar with the name.
Louise didn’t discover the Law of Attraction until she was almost 50 years old. Now at 81 she has accomplished more in 30 years than most people do in their entire lifetimes (not to mention she looks awesome)!
This is a woman who has an extremely difficult upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years were marked by abuse.
She went through a divorce after 14 years of marriage and when later in life she was diagnosed with cancer, she put her philosophies into practice and instead of using surgery or drugs developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing and psychotherapy. Within six months she was cancer free.
In 1984 she published her book titled You Can Heal Your Life based on her own experiences and included the information she talked about in her work shops. It explains how our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies and how, by using certain tools, we can change our thinking and our lives for the better.
It reached the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for 13 consecutive weeks.
To date, over 35,000,000 copies of the book have been sold. But she didn’t stop there. She then became the head of Hay House , a prosperous corporation that sold more than ten million books and tapes since its inception. It includes authors such as Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, among others. This was a venture she started in her living room.
She then proceeded to start the Hay Foundation and The Louise L. Hay Charitable Fund, two non-profit organizations established by Louise that support many diverse organizations, including those dealing with AIDS, battered women, and other challenged individuals in our society.
Now at 81 years old, she had just come out with her first movie release titled, You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.

It is never too late. Think about it. Isn’t even just one day lived in complete peace worth it? Now just imagine doing it for the rest of your lifetime.
