LOVE THIS BOOK! Weird Hummingbird gave me the knowledge that I needed to reveal the journey into my own self-awareness and self-care. I had no idea that I was struggling to break through some of my own negative habits and realizing that I needed to love myself deeply in order to do so! This book provided me with the tools and reflections to propel me forward towards my journey into the inner work, and through this, I am continually blossoming into the person I am meant to be!! Thank you, Layne, for all your wise words!

If you’re really serious about getting down to work and shovelling out the negative in your life (and let’s not kid ourselves, we all have it), Layne Smith-Brown’s book, Weird Hummingbirds (I love the name!) is the one to put on your reading list – or should I say ‘to do’ list. Layne opens up about a lot of pain in her life and her journey of healing and truth. I could identify with many of her stories – a few brought a tear to my eye. Some broke my heart, especially the chapter called The Bedroom. She smartly ends every chapter with a series of questions to get you ‘doing’ – questions to peel back and expose your own negative self-talk and then help you heal from the lies you’ve been living so your real truth can emerge and shine. It’s a down-to-earth, funny yet raw memoir but also a book filled with nuggets to help purge. Be prepared....the questions can take you deep. To get the full experience and heal, you need to do the work.

Thirty years ago, I started a journey to connect with my Divine Intuition. I found the work invaluable in helping me through the trials of being a mother and finding a new career. Over the years I lost sight of the ongoing work required to maintain that connection. Weird Hummingbirds came into my life at a perfect time, when I was ready to start the journey again. Weird Hummingbirds is a short, insightful and motivational book that shows reader how to identify the lies that feed the ego and discover the truths that help you lead a full, spectacular life. Layne Smith-Browns easy conversational style and personal stories make this an enjoyable read throughout.

I can’t say enough about this book! It truly changed the way I look at the world and myself. I couldn’t put it down; it was like Layne knew exactly what I needed to hear and how to help me. I found myself finally listening- her words awaken a passion in you to lead a life that is more authentic, rooted in self love and powerful. I read it twice and I continue to read it often. I leave it on my bedside table, and I will often open the book randomly to read the exact message I needed. Layne is an angel-her truth and her life story was inspiring to read. She helped me see myself in a way I never thought to look. I am forever thankful that this book and this beautiful badass woman came into my life. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

This book has been a gift from the Universe! Sometimes life just keeps throwing punches, but Weird Hummingbirds helps redirect the wearied mind back to the innate wisdom within us. The analogies resonate, the stories grip your heart and the questions guide you into bite-sized mouthfuls of introspection that are easy to digest. I am excited to embrace the wisdom Layne Smith-Brown has poured into this book and “excavate the truth” within.

This is a beautiful and honest book. I felt Layne was meeting me at the front door of her life with open arms, welcoming me into every room as we toured her house. Following insights gleaned from her own experiences that she so openly shares can only bring each of us to a higher place as we understand who we are, what made us that way and more excitingly, who we can become when we understand how our growing years have shaped us. In reading through the book, I felt Layne's willingness to lay herself out to the readers, so they could truly understand the action and consequence of thought and experience that dictate who we become.

I think this author has a cheerful, flowing style that makes her book an easy read, yet an incredibly informational journey at the same time. I will read it again and recommend it to friends.
