About   (request update)
Award-winning author Janet Alston Jackson, believes, "You can have inner peace, even in the middle of chaos." This is the unwavering belief and teachings of her trainings, speeches, and coaching,

Janet received the USA Book News Award for her biography, "A Cry for Light: Journey into Love," and "Your Happiness Is Within," nominated for Global E-books Award.

A communications expert, Janet shares how she had to find inner peace practicing Mindfulness during her 20 years promoting celebrities for ABC and CBS Television Networks while raising three children, one with special needs.

"Mindfulness," says Janet, "Kept me balanced because I was able to release stress in the high pressured situations.

A Certified Law of Attraction Advanced Practitioner, Janet teaches how wealthy celebrities, and those successful working behind the scenes, use the Law of Attraction, which anyone can use to manifest their goals and dreams. She was the publicist on ground breaking classic television shows including: "RoseAnne," "Good Times," "The Jeffersons," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Waltons," and "Rhoda," "Full House." In addition to working on television movies, "The Emmys," "The Grammys" and "The People's Choice Awards."

She was awarded the national Publicist Guild of America Award for the "Twin Peaks," television series.

Janet left the entertainment industry when she adopted two of her three children. She was shocked and saddened to learn that at time, 50,000 children in Los Angeles county were wards of the court because they had been abused or neglected like her adopted children. She and her husband, founded a non-profit organization to raise the self-esteem of children, and to teach parents Mindfulness to release stress with hopes of keeping families together.

Janet spent four years in the ministry. She received the Three Jewels and Five Mindfulness Trainings Certification from world-renowned Mindfulness teacher and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Mr. Nhat Hanh, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, also wrote an intro to Janet's memoir, "A Cry for Light: A Journey Into Love." The memoir chronicles Janet's journey into the Mindfulness practice, as it helped her raise her emotionally disturbed adopted son. Her is Dharma name "Compassionate Healer of the Heart."

She is also a licensed Heartmath coach, Reiki Master and certified in the Law of Attraction and Mindfulness.

Janet is a volunteer Los Angeles Zoo docent. Her favorite duty with the Zoo is ltaking small animals to hospitals, senior centers, and schools for special needs children. She volunteered teaching incarcerated teen girls creative writing.

She is the mother of three grown children, and lives in Atlanta area with her husband, college motivational speaker/author Walter Jackson, Msc.D.

Thank you for becoming friends The website presentation http://www.trylightyear.com/ is not directly about paying off student loans. But Take notice of the 2nd testimonial (which is 2min. into the video) when the single mother talks about sharing this LightYear Wireless concept with her 2 daughters. IT was at that moment I decided to put together a simple spend sheet that any HBCU-CONNCTION student could use to take control of their student debt. MY basic theory using this LightYear Wireless concept was to help you & other students to do this just 1 time/wk. You will learn how to earn weekly income (so that you can just to enjoy the college life) & monthly residual income. It is the residual income that I'm trying to show you in the spread sheet on how to payoff your student loans. The new school year has just started & I'm willing to bet that you have shared your cell phone # with 10 new friends. And most of them have the same student loan concerns as you. Please simply reply by going to my profile website an under my picture entry your infro. I'm only asking that you let me get this FREE spend sheet into your hands. I like to hear your opinion about this concept for paying bac student loans. Have a blessed day.
