My business, Insite to Excellence, Inc. and my website: http://www.InsitetoExcellence.com,
were created out of my desire to help other people who are struggling or who want to improve their quality of life.
My inspiration is born out of my own jou ey from desperation to Personal freedom. I spent decades in a self created hell on earth, accompanied by constant feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness.
By the time I was five I was already proficient at stuffing my feelings, denying my needs and desires and striving to meet others' expectations. I felt miserable in my own skin, alienated and inadequate.
Accomplishment after accomplishment didn't work. Being a "good girl" didn't make me feel worthy and being selfless didn't eradicate the shame.
At 15 I began a devastating eating disorder. At 16 I launched myself into 25 years of substance abuse. I became a two time rape survivor, a domestic abuse survivor, a grief survivor, as a result of my only sibling's suicide and my oldest daughter's current incarceration. I currently live with a chronic, potentially life threatening disease. But the biggest hurdle was the unrelenting shame.
Books, therapy, techniqes and the suggested changes gave me self confidence and self respect. But they did nothing for the pervading sense of not being good enough. I had to develope my own methods to remedy the shame. And I use them to help others that struggle with their sense of worth.
The past 15 years has been a jou ey of change, stumbling, determination and support from others. Today my life has meaning. Today I have a sense of personal satisfaction, a sense of worth and enthusiasm for the gifts and challenges that each day brings.
My illness was instrumental to the creation of Insite to Excellence, Inc. because it eventually prevented me from working outside the home as a counselor. But now my website enables me to reach more, and a greater variety of people tha I would have been if I had remained working at a facility. It was valuable in guiding my course.
When I was 12, I pondered what my purpose was to be. For years, I was unable to figure out the answer to that question. Today, I believe that my experiences of desperation, degradation and struggle, and my jou ey to Personal Freedom, have provided me with a unique perspective with which to help others in their own quest for Personal success, freedom and fulfillment.
That is my motivation for creating Insite to Excellence.
And that is my Passion and Purpose.

Truth - Yours or Mine?
by Lauren Kennedy - http://laurenpkennedy.wordpress.com "Knock. Knock." " Who’s there?" " Truth." " Truth Who?" " Mine or Yours?" And there in lies the dilemma. And the source of immense conflict. We like to think that truth is absolute, explicit, definite, unambiguous and most of all knowable. But what is truth? Are there universal truths that apply to everyone and everything, at all times, in every situation, rigid and inflexible?

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Lauren Kennedy
Our greatest gift to the world is not our achievements, our impressive persona or our successful enterprizes. Our greatest gift is having the awareness, courage and freedom to be who we truly are. Only then can we touch others in a way that no else on earth could ever do.
"When you were born God said "Yes!"
"You were born an original, don't die a copy."
"Act like the person that you want to become. People do not attract what they want, they attract what they are."
"Can you disappoint another to be true to yourself; Can you bear accusations of betrayal and not betray your own Soul?"
"What you do speaks so loudly that I can not hear what you say."
"We must be willing to let go of the life that we planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us."
"The optimist says we live in the best of all possible worlds; The pessimist fears that this is so."
"Flatter me and I may not believe you,
Criticize me and I may not like you,
Ignore me and I may not forgive you,
Encourage me and I will not forget you."
"Here's a test to see if your mission on Earth is finished,
If you are alive, It Isn't"
