Praise for Light Bulb Moments

I have come to the conclusion that success is predictable and so is failure. This is because life was designed to function by laws. Laws make the results predictable. Therefore, those who learn these laws and apply them will experience success in any culture. Talayah, in Light Bulb Moments, has distilled many of these laws and put them in reach for everyone to access. Enjoy every page and watch your life move to the top.

Dr. Myles Munroe, founding chairman of the International Third World Leaders Association, Nassau, Bahamas

Talayah and I share more than the same last name. We have a passion for helping real people discover the miraculous, magic moments in everyday life. Through a series of vignettes, Talayah opens the door so we can all experience the possibilities.

Jim Stovall, author of The Ultimate Gift

Wow, I simply love this book. Seldom does a book say it better or more powerfully than Light Bulb Moments. This book is a must-read for all those who want to navigate the slippery slopes of living a successful life and self-sufficiency. My heartfelt thanks go out to Talayah Stovall for giving us this timely and important gem.

Les Brown, motivational speaker
and author of Live Your Dreams

Its been said that theres no shortage of opportunity; theres a shortage of ideas. This book, Light Bulb Moments, is about becoming more innovative in our thinking and open to the possibility of creating more and having more. Its about developing a mind-set of optimism, of unlimited possibilities of how we can begin to create a future that we can feel proud of. And it starts by having a vision of yourself and thinking from a place of power and creativity to create your own reality.

My favorite book says, Be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Light Bulb Moments will challenge you. It will allow you to begin to think beyond your circumstances and mental conditioning and inspire you to pursue your greatness.

It has also been said that opportunity knocks on every door. Well, Light Bulb Moments challenges us and says that opportunity does not knock on every door. It stands by silently, waiting for us to recognize it.

My name is Les Brown, and Im the author of Live Your Dreams.Light Bulb Moments will change your life as it has changed mine. Thats my story, and Im sticking to it.

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the
mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and

Have you ever had one of those experiences when the light bulb just went off? You thought to yourself, Now I get it! That was the lesson I was supposed to learn in all of this! I tend to get many such revelations when Im experiencing nature. Theres something about water, trees, and mountains that makes me feel more in touch with the Creator and more able to make sense out of the complexities of life.

Regardless of our vocation, gender, or nationality, we have more in common than we have differences. We all have mothers, uncles, teachers, and friends who have influenced our lives. We all have experienced joy and sorrow, health and sickness, love and loss. We all have overcome obstacles and endured pain. There have been times when weve wanted to give upon a job, a business, a relationship, a child, or even our health. The important thing, especially when coming out of a challenging period (a
