Summary

Micklyn Lightbourne is passionate, dedicated and committed to seeing individuals get to where God has predestined them to go in their lives, hence he was motivated to write this book to encourage and help to focus the minds and hearts of individuals reminding them that time is too precious to waste, and if they have not wasted time already hopefully they will never have a desire to waste time in the future. 

Where you are now, is where you and I should be, there are a lot of individuals who should be further along in their lives in terms of accomplishments. He is one of them and thats why he was moving at record speed to make the most of the time he has left and encourages us all to do the same; He call it Spirit Time Acceleration. In April of 2011 Mr. Lightbourne resigned from his job as the most prestigious Butler in The Bahamas at a five star world class resort. He was on top of his A game winning the highest honor in the hospitality industry but he was also at the crossroads of life and the decision was which direction should he take now? Should he ride the wave of fame or should he move on to the next chapter of his life?  He and his wife made the decision to start their very own hospitality business. Since making such a decision God has been opening doors they never thought were even there to be opened.  God has brought out some gifts in me I never knew existed but all this happened when I found out the truth, the truth of knowing I was placed here with and for a purpose said Mr. Lightbourne.

We can begin pursuing our purpose right now and if we need guidance, by reading this book we will get there. The writing of this book could no longer be prolonged because its intension is to help others put their lives in prospective. We have wasted a lot of Gods time and its time to redeem it. This book was written with the intention to convict people to hold themselves accountable and responsible for their own actions and short comings. To show how we can better our lives through daily soft skills and life skills practices and become productive leaders in our families, the work place, schools, the community and at church.  We would never have to blame others for our short comings again. 


Once any individual comes to the realization that they are accountable for their own actions they would begin to see life differently.  We have allowed time to overtake us and it has left us so far behind that we are now battling to get our lives where it should have been years ago.

This book is centered around, getting the individual back to the foundation of their lives, to see themselves in control of their own destiny while fighting off the biggest enemy trying to stop them which is themselves, we must get out of our own way.   Our Heavenly Father wants us to take our rightful positions on the earth and be good contributors and stewards.  

If we cant be good stewards over ourselves how can we be stewards over this awesome Earth. In the book of (Romans 8:22-24) (NIV) it reads We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so but we ourselves, who have the  first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we are saved.

We have this awesome responsibility to take dominion over the earth but first things first, these nine steps to perfect a better you is an awesome start, we have to bring back the stepping stones of how to set and accomplish goals for our lives, have the right attitudes, maintain standards, be professionals, make right decisions, get along with each other, communicate, resolve conflicts and make the most of our time.

I challenge you to allow this book to help transform your life through the application process because knowledge without application is useless.  Mastering these steps would bring out the qualities that were lying dormant ins

    Love Sex Again is an all-encompassing guide to women's sexual health from Dr. Lauren Streicher, a cutting-edge Gynecologist, and a regular on TheDr. Oz Show.Ladies, what if one of America's leading sexual specialists and Gynecologist told you that she knew your body better than you did? What if she told you that she could fix the problems that are making your sex life less than perfect? More than 100 million women in America have problems in the bedroom, but don't have the courage to ask their doctors for help. These problems don't come from relationship issues, or the stresses of work and family. These are real, physical issues that are getting in the way of a vibrant, joyful sex life. Instead of getting the help they need, so many women make a silent deal with themselves: without fanfare, without discussion, they quietly give up on pleasure, or drastically compromise their expectations where sex is concerned. Sometimes women make this deal with themselves early on in their 20s or 30s; for other women, it doesn't hit until their 40s, 50s or later. Most women lack the vocabulary to talk about these issues with their doctors, not to mention the pharmaceutical aids that are readily available to men. But no longer.Dr. Streicher will show women how to regain their libido, determine what their issues are, and learn to fix whatever is broken "down there." This much anticipated book will set women on a path to discovering (or rediscovering) deeply pleasurable, satisfying sex. She offers practical advice for real women of all ages—from childbearing to post-menopausal, and explains what a woman needs to know about her body, where she is in her life, and her relationships, and how it connects to a satisfying sex life.

    THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES:Introduction/Lecture: 5:19Guided Meditation: 20:19Absent healing, or “distance healing” is something like praying for another person, in a very specific way. To begin, we get in touch with love at the deepest level within us that we can. From that place, we ask that grace be extended to our friend or loved one, for their highest good.We can do this process for anyone, no matter where they are, because pure love goes beyond the physical dimension. That’s why it’s called “absent healing.”In this guided meditation, you’ll travel to a heavenly temple of light, connect with universal love deep within, call upon the support of angels, masters, and spiritual healers, and bring God’s grace to the one you would most like to assist. Using this program makes it easy to hold a strong, loving focus, and be at your best, to help those you love.Excerpt from the program: “...A powerful light pours forth from above, from the source of all creation, through all of you, and into your friend. The force of this energy moving through you is at first almost to powerful for you to bear, but you quickly adjust and find it easy to relax, open, receive, and transmit.Take some time to continue to stay present with this energy, and allow it to pour through you, as you imagine your friend receiving it for their highest good...”From the Author: My friends and I have been practicing absent healing in one form or another for many years, usually when someone we know is ill or in trouble of some kind. It’s always a beautiful process to connect inside on the level where love is, beyond the emotions and the intellect. It feels wonderful, and gives me an opportunity to let go of any stress I may have around the situation, by placing everything in God’s hands. I find it especially true in doing absent healing that giving is as good or better than the receiving.”

    Do you desire to have an idea of what dark persuasion means? Do you want to know who a dark persuader is ? 
    Through the content of this book, you will understand that persuading someone simply means convincing someone to do or accept as true, using a variety of methods to give advice or discuss. The dissimilarity between belief and dark conviction is intention. A persuader could try to convince someone to do something without thinking about certain tactics or motives, or a real understanding of the person they are trying to persuade. A persuader could take care of doing the best for most people, such as a diplomat who he wants to avoid the war between two world powers by establishing political ties where none existed before. A persuasion artist may be frantically searching for straws and waiting for something to stick. Having a grasp of this book will give you more understanding.
