Hello Everyone,

Debra Oakland – Living in Courage Online

Over a short 4 years Debra Oakland lost her 21 year old son, her baby girl in the 8th month of pregnancy and both brothers to AIDS. A few years later her father passed away from prostate cancer.

Debra began her life altering path, becoming a writer, courage advocate, and joyful experiencer. She now writes, speaks, and works with Universal Laws & Principles of Love that assist others to live courageously from the inside out.

Debra’s story and passion to assist others to embrace living in courage, has been featured in major media outlets including online TV, radio, magazines, and best-selling books.





Debra is eagerly anticipating the release of her own book Change Your Movie, Change Your Life: 7 Reel Concepts for Courageous Change which will be available on February 17th, 2016. As I mentioned during the show, Debra will be back on Live Your Music in January to tell us more about her book. Please put the show date, January 27, 2016, in your calendar to remind you.

One of her greatest goals — with her book and her writing — is to guide others to connect to their true inner passion and unique essence of authenticity.

Blog Message – Generosity of Spirit – Someone Spiked the Punch!


Today we had a conversation about living in courage, kindness, prosperity, generosity, and how to feel and share more happiness during the holiday season and New Year.  

The quote from the book ANAM CARA - A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohue, that Debra shared during the show today, was inspiring so I'd like to share part of it here.

"The divine has such passionate creativity and instinct for the fully inhabited life. If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. If you allow yourself to be the person you are, then everything will come into rhythm. The shape of each soul is different. There is a secret destiny for each person. When you endeavor to repeat what others have done or force yourself into a preset mold, you betray your individuality. We need to return to the solitude within, to find again the dream with the wonder of a child approaching a threshold of discovery."

While you are listening to our conversation, I hope it will remind you to take some time for solitude, to be kind to yourself and others, to give more hugs, and to imagine ways you can make this a relaxing, happy, and fun holiday season for you, your family, and your friends.
