What Reader's Are Saying About Weird Hummingbirds - Unleash Your LIfe!

I have been on my "Truth" journey for over 30 years and Weird Hummingbirds is the first book I have come across that explains HOW to do the work required for real and lasting change! Layne Smith-Brown is a storyteller and she uses this gift to share her personal stories of her own "Truth" journey. Through these stories, and along with a healthy dose of humor, Smith-Brown invites the readers to continuously update where they are living their lives from and challenges the reader to step into their new viewpoint.

Weird Hummingbirds is a fantastic, well written, virtual workshop that helps readers recognize and peel off unproductive layers of themselves they may not even have known existed. This book is a treasure trove of stories, examples and thought-provoking questions that gently and lovingly helps the reader to identify limitations, thought processes and beliefs that we adopt, unconsciously, throughout life's journey. Readers are prompted to examine their memories and beliefs, from a perspective of curiosity versus judgement, in a way that encourages growth and transformation. I highly recommend this book for everyone. No matter how many layers of our self we may have peeled back in the past, there are always new questions and perspectives that can take us beyond our current experience - to fully discover our true, divinely loved selves. Get this book!!

Great read... kept me engaged the entire time, had some good laughs too as I related to many of Layne's personal stories. Came away with some great tools. I now have some practical and easy to remember steps that will help me when facing some of life's challenges. To Layne, thank you for your gift and for sharing so much of your personal journey. Can't wait for the next book!!!!! Buying a few copies as Christmas gifts as I know many that will benefit.

To my most amazing companion Kali. Whose relentless pursuit of truth has been a ballast more times than I can say. I know you stand beside me because I do my work. I am standing beside you because you do your work. I love that we are both whole in and of ourselves and that we are kinda spectacular together. Thanks for going to the difficult places and showing me it’s safe and necessary to go there too. Thanks for making me think. Thanks for making me play. Thanks for being willing to channel your grandmother so you could learn to cook such splendid Pelau. Thanks most of all for the hamster dance and making me laugh until my sides ache pretty much from the first moment we met.

This book has been a gift from the Universe! Sometimes life just keeps throwing punches, but Weird Hummingbirds helps redirect the wearied mind back to the innate wisdom within us.  The analogies resonate, the stories grip your heart and the questions guide you into bite-sized mouthfuls of introspection that are easy to digest.  I am excited to embrace the wisdom Layne Smith-Brown has poured into this book and excavate the truth within.

Thirty years ago, I started a journey to connect with my Divine Intuition. I found the work invaluable in helping me through the trials of being a mother and finding a new career. Over the years I lost sight of the ongoing work required to maintain that connection. Weird Hummingbird came into my life at a perfect time, when I was ready to start the journey again. Weird Hummingbird is a short, insightful and motivational book that shows readers how to identify the lies that feed the ego and discover the truths that help you lead a full, spectacular life. Layne Smith-Browns easy conversational style and personal stories make this an enjoyable read throughout.

Weird Hummingbirds is a relevant reminder of the gentle ways we can release the grip of stale and stagnant thoughts that keep us stuck and leading a much less spectacular way of being!! This is a book that I will share with my 11-year-old daughter, so she can keep her self worth strong and live her gifts to liberate herself and the people around her to do the very same! Deeply grateful for such a charming yet powerful tool for anyone to feel hope and freedom!

You want more. Your life isn’t what you want it to be. You know what you should be doing to get the results you want, you just don’t do them. We all want to reach our full potential, to be the person we know we’re meant to be, but sometimes we tell ourselves stories and those stories sabotage and get in the way of becoming that person. Weird Hummingbirds takes you on a journey of self-discovery. Find out what stories are holding you back and step into the beautiful person you want to become.

Are you interested in pitching yourself forward to bigger and better things? Change takes but an instant. It is resistance to change that takes a lifetime I absolutely love this book. I have highlighted so many passages! The writer has a fresh way of saying things which really gets your attention. Her own inspirational story is told with transparency and compassion, but with the lightness of fluttering hummingbird wings! Throughout the book you can feel the love she is sharing with the reader. Through great examples and excellent questions, she gives you powerful tools to begin making choices instead of giving in to the mood. This book is comparable to books by Karen Casey and Melody Beattie — the highest praise I can possibly give a book, and I look forward to more from this writer.
