By Curt Steindler (Los Angeles, California) Amazon Review.
"Lee Travathan in this book (Rebel Writer One) teaches writing. Not tired and boring writing technique, any of a number of books can teach you that, but the soul of writing. That is, getting the words in your heart onto the page.
Through a series of essays taken from her own life story and excercises designed to open your heart to the page, Travathan leads you into the very core of the experience of writing, how the writer reveals herself to the page and the page to the writer. Don't be misled by the informal style or spiritual language, Travathan's theory of writing has a strong pedigree, harkening back to the stream-of-consciousness writing of James Joyce, William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf.
Raw, emotional, powerful and often painful, this book is a joy to read, sweeping you up in a whirlwind of memory only to set you down on solid ground and then urging you to fly on your own. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone who wants to express themselves on the page, be it in a novel, a screen play, or only in their own journal. Or, in Lee Travathan's own words, "Write anywhere. Write everywhere. Write everything".
I have a deep and profound love for extraordinary people with extraordinary and ordinary appearing lives and anyone courageous enough to dive into the deepest waters of awareness and belief to grab the pearls and share them.
I am exceptionally passionate about the need to feed our souls with love without the need to justify it. I choose peace over upset, joy over anger, and happiness over depression. At the same time, I trust that what is "real" is there for a reason and needs to be embraced. I don't like to stuff emotion under the rug just to trip on it later.
I love hearing from friends and fans, but do not get to answer every email myself anymore. I do, however, read them all and do what I can. To all visitors, I am deeply grateful.

I deeply admire the spirit, heart, soul, and talent of my friend, Gari Glaysher. You can find him on my top 40.
I am blessed by many creative spirits and vision centered souls. The video below is in honor of Julian Lennon, a treasured friend with a heart of gold. I love his soul and so love to see him shine in the world.
Here's to you, Jules. I've got special shades for people like you that touch my life so deeply.
Standing by you. Thanks for being there for me and for always showing me your kindness, your spirit and heart, and of course... your cheeky monkey side. My warm thoughts are always with you and your mum.
I hope you will enjoy the video below with Kate Taylor. You will find her on my top 40 here. Let the vidoe put a smile on your face. I deeply admire Kate's soul and have for nearly 35 years. My daughter is named Kate and my granddaughter, Taylor. Beautiful spirits abound!

MYSPACE.COM/LEETRAVATHAN1 This is where I interview artists.
Just check on the Travathan link above to go to my USA/UK Official Music and Fansite or click on the first pix icon in my top 40. The site has recently been re-arranged and will now feature podcast interviews. I think you will enjoy what is there now.
I also hope you will enjoy my dear friend Kathleen and will visit her site. I am so moved by her presence! You will love her duet with Gari Glaysher, too!
The whole "movie star" thing... ah, I don't get it. People do jobs, express their craft, etc... Hollywood created movie stars to sell tickets. My "movie star" friends and clients have always been just that, friends and buddies. Their privacy and mine are paramount to me. I'm more impressed with the character of a person than the gods in the box office or the words in the bio, which are not real to me, for the most part.
I love books on writing for film, gardening, decor, psychology and philosophy, photography, art, and quantum physics. I play around with my camera or paint brush every chance I get. To see my own fine art photography and more, go to

Reading is my bridge into unlimited universes and one of the greatest joys of my life. I was born to be a writer.
And, yes, I really will write just about anywhere.
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
~Albert Einstein ~
Anyone who can stand in that opposition and remain graceful has my vote. I have learned much from MLK and JFK, Jesus and Gandhi. And countless others that I encounter on a regular basis that are unsung and extraordinary. Perhaps you will be one of the heroes I meet along the way.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL MY REBEL FRIENDS
MAY WE ALWAYS REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT WORDS AND MAY WE FOREVER HAVE THE COURAGE TO LIVE BY THEM. WE ARE NOT ALONE... THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF US. WE DO CHANGE THE WORLD. ONE REBEL AT A TIME!
So... in honor of you all...
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ‘Think Different’

My life tends to be full of exciting moments. I'm grateful for that and teach others how to have the same experience. So, here's a miracle for you. I recently had the honor of re-connecting with the first person that ever believed in me nearly 40 years ago, my first husband, Randy Sibole. That connection was extremely powerful then and remains so today. Thanks to all the people that stood with me in spirit before and during this major event. It was amazing! Now the circle is unbroken. We may not be married anymore, but we do have a lifetime agreement to always be there for each other and let the love grow in new ways.

You can find him on my top 40. His page is very inspiring and I think you'll be glad you made the trip to visit.
This I believe:
We all get to choose the light or the dark and we need to choose well... I mean that literally. We can change the dark with our thoughts and beliefs, but only for ourselves. We can love the dark for the lessons it teaches, but if it becomes our mode of operation, we become the dark shadows of our souls. I choose light and love above all things. I belive our shadows must be loved, as to disarm and heal them and if this is not done, we run the risk of our dark sides ruling our lives. We are all worth more than that outcome.
Our thoughts are clearly things that manifest to a strong degree and need be dilligently viewed. Choose mindfully with clear thought... not knee-jerk reactions. We cannot control the reality of another. We are not wise to take on the distorted reality of another that has lost their ability to see life clearly and walk in love and light. We are not responsible for the choices they make.
I do believe that love is the highest power available to human beings and is also the most misunderstood. I believe in love. I operate from it. I also have strong opinions about how it is manipulated and disregarded in our society.
Extraordinary Thinking is what my life is about. I do not argue my beliefs and do not demand that anyone accept them. I just put what I write out there as I am inspired. Take what you need and leave the rest. I am a artist of many forms, straight and simple, and I have my own style. Google my name and you will find more of my artistic side presented.
MYSPACE.COM/LEETRAVATHAN1 You can click on this link and go to my USA/UK music site where I interview artists here at MySpace. See the interview featuring composer Jose Maria Porto of Spain. It is a wonderful blog chat that will allow you to get to know the man behind the music.

Below is a video of Jose and features "Lee's Theme", a beautiful gift for my birthday from an amazing man of heart and soul, a talent you won't want to miss out on.
And if you need a brief bio... I am an inspirational author and speaker, celebrity blog writer and personality, professional TV and radio talk show host and guest, professional inspirational consultant, mentor and coach to artists, entertainers, and sports figures worldwide in the area of Extraordinary Thinking and Applied Manifestation for over 25 years. I am also a professional photographer and top ranking filmmaker. I produce product from my work that will help others. You can visit my photography site at MySpace by clicking on the icon/pic on my top 40 here.
My overall goal and burning passion is to help people get to higher formats of thought to improve daily life by understanding the power of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions to create a greater outcome based on the deepest levels of love.
I teach people how to become conscious victors, deleting and bypassing the common "victim mentality" of the day. It's all about getting to the place where you understand that you are always better than what you "put up with" in yourself. The higher you reach, the better life gets. You are worth the journey. We all are.
To book a public speaking engagement, call the office.
This I hold to be true:
You are not now, nor have you ever been ordinary; only misguided and misperceived. A mistake has been made. You have misunderstood yourself to be less than you actually are. You have simply miss-taken yourself for someone or something less than your deepest self.
The truth is much simpler than it would appear in day to day life. You are an extraordinary being living in an ordinary world. Like a square peg attempting to fit into a round and too small space, you don’t fit. You never will fit there. You were born to express the extraordinary being that you are deep down under the morass of lies that you have been told. Therein waits your joy.
I believe in you. I know who you are, even when you forget.
Taken from "The Tender Art of Extraordinary Thinking"
Written by Lee Travathan
What do I do, many ask. We call it "peeling the layers off ordinary thinking to expose the extraordinary in all." The work changes lives. I've been blessed to work with some extraordinary talents over many years.
I teach people to love in a way that is uncommon and fills each person with an equally uncommon sense of being more awake and living in joy than one typically will experience living from ordinary thinking. The natural result is a feeling of self-ownership, self-honor, and flying, in the spiritual sense. In the work, no stone is left unturned. Learn to live from love, change your mind and your heart will change, and life will open up for you in ways you could not previously know. You Will Fly.
How does God fit into all of this... oh yeh, He's the waiter at the table that says, "May I take your order, please?" Your coach is the one that makes sure you do, indeed, order and order well!
I do all I can to help raise funds for others. My Zazzle store online is for creative projects, positive fun items, inspiration and gifts, and provides independent reps the opportunity to earn money on sales of the products. My team adds to the gallery often so it is good to bookmark and check back. We also allow groups and organizations special pricing for fundraising projects. I use part of the proceeds from the Zazzle shop to fund my work in Valley Fever awareness... a little known and greatly misunderstood disease that nearly claimed my life in 2007.
You see all my products at the store -

..............................
It is my great joy to meet people with warm hearts that do not judge harshly. There is always room to enjoy the most extraordinary minds alive.
I like to sit down with a great cup of Joe and pick the creative brains of many on my list and allow them to pick mine. This is my big thing in life as a writer. Some of the most inspiring times of my life came out of sitting with legends and lesser known entertainers, writers, and other artists, sipping coffee or wine, and talking about life, art, creativity, and love. We ocassionally do this on film. My newest movie with Kathleen Procter-Moore is an example.
Writing is my positive addiction. It is why I came to MySpace. I mentor, talk, and write for a living along with my photography and filmmaking. This is the best life on earth for me! I was born to it.
Here, I meet people reaching further than where they have been and like-minded individuals enjoying life and seeking deeper truth.
I love to meet people that know deep down that they are born to and for greatness and feel no need to apologize go to the back of the bus of consciousness. Brilliant minds send a thrill up my spine and have always been my best company ever. To them all, I am grateful.
Amazon Review: People found the following review helpful:
Rebel Writer, Secrets of the Extraordinary Life ..., You can say I am living proof that Lee's book works. I was compelled to write ("on the page") the exercises, way before this book came to being. I am one of a few who suggested she ought to write this book.
From the very beginning of our meetings, I began the journey to be the writer I am today. I wouldn't have published if it weren't for her persistent guidance that sensitive gentle encouraging push writers constantly crave & need. I am a proud writer to my SELF. I know what I am capable of doing and I am going to do it. Trash those rejections slips buddy.... I'm coming through! Thanks, Lee!" Katherine Borges, Author, "Bare Tree".
Ms. Borges also dedicated a poem to Lee Travathan in the book. It is called "Heroes". The video below is in honor of Ms. Borges and her willingness to open herself to extraordinary thinking, no matter how tough it got.
You can watch the video below to see one of my newest films for free. Enjoy! You can find a larger version at Googlevideo by putting in my name.

I THINK THAT WHEN I FEEL TEMPTED TO EMOTIONALLY OVEREAT; I WILL COUNT MY BLESSINGS AND GIVE THANKS INSTEAD. TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO - RIGHT! SENDING YOU WISHES FOR A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY! LUV, Marfa

I’m Thankful for You
Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

What does it mean?
I think that it is meant for the overly independent among us. It reminds us that we are social creatures. It reminds us that we need the help and support of others, and that we need to be there to help and support the people around us when they need it.
I hope that you have a great week. Please don’t be an island.

Don't let what you can't do, stop you from doing what you CAN do.
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
Love life and yourself!
