Tell me your goals and dreams. It would be my pleasure to help you.
Much Love,
Are you experiencing joy or sorrow? Grief, loss, and depression can cause sorrow. There is something else… How do you see yourself?
It’s important to have a healthy self-image. Know your worth.
Too many times we beat ourselves up. We may not see our beauty and radiance. It’s there.
The Truth is… You have greatness in you. You are needed. Don’t give up.
I want to celebrate, inspire, and encourage you.
Invest in yourself.
Here is an eBook you can get that will brighten your day. Get it for yourself or someone you know.
Stay tuned in for my next message.
Much Love,
Lori
It was time to depart. I boarded the airplane. A delightful woman sat next to me on my flight back home. She shared her bag of blue chips with me. She also shared that her daughter committed suicide. It was then that I knew this was a divine appointment.
I listened to her story. I felt led to share my experience, hoping she would find comfort and a connection with me.
It’s easier to stay silent and not share, especially on the topic of suicide. This conversation prompted me to speak up. I wrote a book called The LORI Factor that is meant to help others. However, I have not shared enough about it.
It took courage to write that book, especially telling how there was a time I attempted suicide. I am thankful I am alive to change and save lives with my message. This book is not just about my story; it’s about giving you hope and making a difference.
Too many people believe lies about themselves and feel unworthy and hopeless. Some get blinded by the pain and make a permanent decision to a temporary problem. If that’s you or someone you know, you landed on this blog for a reason. You are meant to be here.
We all need support and encouragement. I learned that the woman who chose to sit next to me on that flight created support services for those who have lost a loved one to suicide. We are both on a similar mission.
Especially this time of year, during the holiday season, suicide rates increase. I know my life was spared so I can help people choose life not death.
Let me show you how to have a Larger vision of yourself beyond your circumstances. That is what the “L” stands for in The LORI Factor book.
There is light past the darkness. Take flight and soar. You are meant for more. Take a deep breath. Hang on. There is hope. Have faith in the now.
Be present. That is the best gift for yourself and everyone else.
I am grateful that I get to guide those on how to choose life and live the life they were born to live.
Feel free to reach out to me. Let me know how I can serve you and add value to your life.
Are you looking for a guest on your podcast or radio show? I would be delighted to be your guest.
Read my book or give it as a gift. You can get it here.
Much love,
Lori
It was a day of tragedy and sorrow for the attack on America in 2001 that will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones. Thank you to all the first responders.
I almost lost a dear son on August 22, 2021. He is a first responder, but it was a motocycle accident that threatened his life. Thankfully, his life was spared. Make family a priority. Love conquers all. Forgiveness opens the door to restoration, peace, harmony, and unity.

There will always be things to do. Your calendar is full. If you don’t schedule time for the people you love, nobody will do it for you. Don’t wait until its too late.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure. ~ Psalm 39:5
Live each day to the fullest as though it could be your last day. When that day comes, decide NOW what your eternal address will be. Choose 777 Heaven. Your mansion awaits you. Travel to the right destination.
It is my mission to tell you that there is only One True God. Ask Him yourself. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
At that time, my eternal future was in a place of hopelessness, despair, and destruction. Then, I found Hope. I knew my story must be told. My message is meant to get into your hands.
This message is in my book: The LORI Factor: Live the Life You Were Born to Live
This book has the potential to become the avenue to your miracle. It gives insights and examples of personal experiences that are relatable and real.
Lori Bruton is a messenger of HOPE who gives you hope for the future and POWER in the present. Do you know that you have more inside you that’s waiting to come out?

Much Love to you and your family,
It is July 7th. This date is significant for all chocolate lovers like me.
The observance of World Chocolate Day dates back to 2009. This annual celebration of chocolate marks the anniversary of the introduction of chocolate to Europe in 1550. I remember in my early working career, one of the engineers was from England and brought back chocolates from there. You didn’t have to guess which kind because they had a label key inside the box identifying each piece.
Chocolate Day is any day and every day in my book. Since it is globally recognized on July 7th as I write this, I was inspired to share my experiences with you.
It was truly a gourmet experience visiting Ethel M Chocolates Factory, Flagship Store & Cactus Garden in Henderson, Nevada.
Right now, through August 28, 2022, they have a perfect in-store summer experience called Chocolate & Mimosa Tasting. They also have online experiences and much to offer for those who are not able to visit on-site.
Tasting chocolate not only tantalizes your taste buds but also creates an emotional experience.
The Signature Chocolate Tasting Experience I booked was well worth it. The journey was fascinating. What you learn is how chocolate is sourced, refined, produced, and how to properly taste chocolate and identify flavors.
Afterward, I became an honorary chocolatier and was awarded a certificate. It came with a 15% discount for that day, but I forgot to use the discount.
Closer to home is Oliver’s Candies in Batavia, New York. They are celebrating 90 years in business. This personal favorite is sought after not only by the locals but by people from all over the country. The candy they make is rich and delectable. It has a distinct discernible taste.
Oliver’s not only has a variety of chocolates, sponge candy, and nuts but also has ice cream. There are 18 hard ice cream flavors all year. During the summer season, their whipped cream is made fresh daily on-site.
A tour of Hershey’s Chocolate World in Pennsylvania, adds more sweetness to this story. They have workshops where you can create the dessert of your dreams. It reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which is one of my favorite movies starring Gene Wilder. Hershey, PA, is a town full of thrills and attractions too.
I found these Hershey guys in Las Vegas. What a treat to get a chocolate kiss.
This girl loves her chocolate, especially dark chocolate. How about you? If you do too, what is your favorite kind and favorite place to get it? Maybe I gave you a few new ideas of where to travel and explore and have a taste of the good life.
That makes me thirsty for a cool drink and time to think. Let’s start with the drink.
Mix these 5 ingredients for a refreshing summer Lemonade with a unique twist that’s ready in minutes.
Put on a sun hat, grab your favorite book, journal, pen, and find a sunny spot.
Ingredients
Instructions
3 cups Lemon juice, 3/4 cup Lime juice, 2 cups Agave, 3 drops Lime Essential Oil, 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil, 10 drops Lemon Essential Oil, 16 cups water.
OR use pineapple juice instead of honey, for example.
Your surroundings and sipping this refreshing drink will stimulate your senses. Our senses connect us to awareness that communicate with our brain. Look and listen and be present in the moment.
What does it feel like when you plant your bare feet in the grass? You are literally grounded which creates a calming effect.
The same is true for our sense of taste and smell that evoke feelings and memories. Create new experiences and learn new things.
The benefits of essential oils are powerful for deepening focus and promoting relaxation, for example.
This specific brand of essential oils has added quality to my life. They can for you too.
A super simple way to get a quick lemonade without using the recipe is to squirt Lavender Lemon Vitality drops in a glass of water. Voila.
For more fun and more variety, the best place to start is the Premium Starter Bundle. Now you’ll have lavender, lemon, and many other oils to explore.
It’s been worth it for me. I haven’t looked back. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
There is so much more I want to teach you, but I’ll refrain for now. Enjoy your Lavender Lemonade. Let me know which option you chose.
