Bella "Velly" Brown is the Author of: "Screw-Ups + Lessons Learned = LIFE."  Originally from Jamaica, Bella studied Human Resources management and Organizational Development at Crown College in St. Bonifacius, Minnessota.  Raised in a Christian home, Bella was always facinated with what it means to be "created in God's image and likeness."  Years of pondering the spiritual connection between God and his created beings (mankind), led Bella along a path to enlightenment, and a personal connection with God, that explores God's existence from less fear-driven perspective.  Screw-Ups + Lessons Learned = LIFE looks at how each and every situation we experience in life, teaches a valuable lesson that propels us to the next level on the ladder to success and destiny.  Missing the lesson only results in a repeat of the exercise.   She encourages us to recognize the God-given traits we possess, that allow us to create circumstances and outcomes, by choosing the right thoughts to occupy our mind.  This entire incredible universe began with a simple thought!  Likewise, we are able to create life events and circumstances by the kinds of thoughts we allow to dominate our minds.  Predominant Thought + Faith = Create.  Bella's first published book explores this dimension of our existence, and encourages us to begin practicing "RIGHT-THINKING."  Personal poetry graces and concludes each chapter, encouraging the reader to think the unthinkable. We were all made for something GREAT!  The thoughts we allow to dominate our powerful mind pave the way to either great failure or success!
