Former managing editor of California's oldest continuously published weekly, Laurie J. Brenner shares her insights, experiences, and stories across the web through her many articles and websites. Author of The Little Book of Becoming-Understanding the Law of Attraction and Living an Outrageous Life,  Brenner is not quite finished polishing Changing Planes, a metaphysical fiction while also currently writing Wildwind, the story of how she and her husband built their dream home using the law of attraction, intuition, sweat, and spiritual guidance.

Though neither one of them had any construction experience, (he, a retired water treatment plant operator and she an office girl) nor scads of money, they were able to create their three-story dream home on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, just a red tail hawk's flight south of Lake Tahoe using spiritual principals and the sweat of their brow.

Armed with nothing more than Spirit and fierce determination, this project took three years to complete. While subcontractors were called in for grading, foundation, roof trusses, sheetrock, HVAC and carpeting, Gordon did the rest - framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, tiling, painting, cabinetry and all finish work with the help of Laurie on weekends.

Named Wildwind after the mono winds of the Sierra Nevada and the free spirit that roams through her, Brenner and her husband share their 10-acre piece of heaven with two dogs, four cats, deer, turkey, squirrels, a mated pair of red tail hawks, coyotes and a myriad of other creatures from the seen and unseen realms of nature.

Twenty-seven years a practioner of metaphysics and new age thinking, Brenner is excited about all the changes taking place right now in our world. With the advent of movies like The Secret, What the Bleep Do You Know, Conversations with God, The Celestine Propecy, and The Peaceful Warrior hitting the mainstream consciousness, change is occuring at a rapid pace. "More and more people are beginning to accept that we are more than just physical beings having a spiritual experience. They are learning that we truly are spiritual beings having a physical experience," she says.

With this knowledge, an Age of Transformation, The New Age, The Quantum Age has truly taken root and is growing quickly. This is the Age for which we have all been waiting.

Our Native American brothers and sisters call those who lead this march into The New Age, the Rainbow Warriors - a group of people from all nations and colors. We are one people, one planet, with one future.

We are who we have been waiting for.
