   About Sara Westbrook






Sara Westbrook
international motivational speaker/singer/songwriter



'I am using my motivating, positive outlook to inspire and make a difference for others, especially young people, by giving them the opportunity to see that they have the power to make choices that will better their lives, no matter the circumstance. I provide them with tools that allow them to take back their personal power, to start living their purpose and to love their own uniqueness. I accomplish this through speaking, singing and writing.’

After my Dad died I felt I could no longer sing if he wasn’t here to watch me. So I created the program ‘Own the Power Within’, a program to help children deal with the issues of bullying.

‘I thought maybe it would be better if I just spoke, not sang. At this point I was questioning whether I could even sing. I felt so confused, out of control and lost. I have never felt so upside down. By choosing not to sing I felt an emptiness that I could not fill.'

Meeting Brenda Hounam who has had Alzheimer’s disease for 8 years put me back on my true path. I realized that my Dad wanted me to use all my talents. I ended up co writing the song One More Memory. This song was written as a gift to Brenda Hounam who wanted a song to remind her children of her love for them when Alzheimer's disease would rob her of the ability to say 'I love you'.

I now travel with Brenda and my Mum Linda, raising awareness and funds on behalf of people who are in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. We want people to know that there is hope and possibility in a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. The monies raised from the sale of the CD are used to help people who are in the early stages of the disease. Since Sept. 21, 2004 ‘One More Memory’ has sold 8000 copies (a gold record in Canada). We are excited to be taking our message to Romania May 15 2008.

'I have been helping to raise awareness and funds for those living with early stage Alzheimer's disease for almost four years. For me this is important work. Giving back is an essential part of who I am.'

I am very proud to represent ‘Kids Help Phone’ as an artist ambassador.

'Going to schools, impacting the lives of young people through music is very important to me. I share about my personal struggles, triumphs and lessons learned, in hopes of giving new insight into what they may be experiencing. I want them to know they are not alone.’

I realized through my previous work with young people that so often tools of life are missing. Young people are told so many things ... be confident, stop worrying, be yourself, move on.

From this knowledge I have created my newest program UPower® concerts ‘Building Character through Lyrics’ which incorporates speaking & singing, sharing with young people life tools that will guide them to take responsibility for their actions, to motivate them to take on their lives in a very powerful way and to have a new appreciation & respect for themselves & others.

‘When I write I feel I have a responsibility to the listener to create lyrics that make a difference in their life, to inspire them to look at things differently, to help heal what may be going on in their life.’

’Sometimes life doesn’t turn out how you think it should but it’s all in how you look at it. Are you going to let it tear you down or get up and be better than before?’ lyrics ‘All You See in Me’ Sara Westbrook ©2008

'Sara only wants to touch the hearts of those who listen to her music so that they can discover their own personal worth. In essence, Sara wants people to be happy and feel as though they matter.' Steve Miller Dark Horse Promotions

You are never given a wish without also
being given the power to make it come true!

Thanks for adding me as a friend.
Embrace the beauty that is you.


The earth turns on its orbit for you.
The oceans ebb and flow for you.
The birds sing for you.
The sun rises and it sets for you.
The stars come out for you.
Every beautiful thing you see,
every wondrous thing you experience,
is all there for you.
Take a look around.
None of it can exist, without you.
No matter who you thought you were,
now you know the Truth
of Who You Really Are.
You are the master of the Universe.
You are the heir to the kingdom.
You are the perfection of Life.
May the joy be with you.
L♥

Hi Sara, things are ok. Everyone is struggling right now. I have no complaints. I write when I can, record when it's possible, and sing when someone listens, and that makes me happy.

Boy, he must be really tall. You look like a kid next to him. LOL.

Hey Sara,
Just watched your latest video! :) So happy your dream came true - think nothing in life is impossible! Often we may think that we won't meet someone, but just never know because life is so unpredictable. Speaking of dreams, there is a great new book out called Dream Reachers that I think you may want to check out - look it up on Amazon.com. I have a new site to help promote this book because I really believe in it and the message of it. You should have a pending request...url is www.myspace.com/dreamreachersfanclub
Have a wonderful week!
Love Jessica

Well, then I guess you got a nice surprise! What kind of songs did you sing when you were singing other people's songs? You are definitely a great composer though, and that award was definitely well deserved. Keep on writing! =)
