RG25-43. Louise Wannier’s TREE SPIRITS.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Louise Wannier, on air from October 28th

Visual artist and photographer, Louise Wannier, author of the new children’s book TREE SPIRITS AROUND THE WORLD. Louise talks about inspiring children to open their imaginations and connect more meaningfully with the world around them; a call to get away from the constant screen time and get outside and explore nature.

Her years behind the camera taught her to notice the quiet details—light, texture, and emotion—and that same attentiveness soon sparked a desire to tell stories beyond the frame. What began as a creative outlet with a camera eventually blossomed into writing a children’s book, beautifully illustrated with her own photography. Her goal is to keep young readers happily engaged while nurturing both their imagination and their essential life skills. Through nature-inspired imagery and playful rhyming text, her book encourages children to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the feelings of each tree spirit they encounter.

25-42. The Waiting Game

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 21st

The waiting game is a tender teacher. We can’t rush a bloom; we seed with intention, water with care, and trust the universe for timing. I’m living that trust now—phone beside me, heart on tenterhooks—waiting for my 3rd grandson to arrive. That same rhythm guides my work: I used to sprint like the hare, chasing visions faster than steps could hold. Now I’m a wiser plodder, listening, connecting, planting what matters and letting growth be earned. The journey, not the finish line, is where the meaning lives. I interview those who lead with heart, who turn knowingness into service, because why we do a thing is the root of everything it becomes.

Real abundance isn’t in the noise of “six figures”; it’s in the quiet change we spark in one life, then another. When soul-wisdom downloads, it stirs the heart, and the spirit carries it to the mind to shape with clarity. We watch for the signs, pivot when paths get rocky, and choose companions, human and divine, who steady our steps. Some dreams, like Our Forgotten Children’s book, take years to ripen; others arrive as invitations to speak, write, and share. Either way, we move by core truth: listen, learn, apply. Let go of old expectations, return to your essence, and let that inner compass lead. I’m 71, grateful, healing, wholeness, and still planting. And just as a new child is about to draw first breath, we, too, can give birth to ourselves again, rooted, ready, and quietly radiant for what’s next.

TSM25-41. Deadpan by Richard Walter 

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Richard Walter, on air from Ocotber 14th

Screenwriter and bestselling author Richard Walter for his new book, Deadpan which  is a funny novel about an unfunny subject: hate speech and bigotry. Providing gobs of entertainment, the satirical narrative delivers a body blow to prejudice. Deadpan follows the misadventures of a vaguely anti-Semitic West Virginia Buick dealer who wakes up one day to find himself transformed into the world’s most popular Jewish comedian. Steeped in magical realism, the narrative confronts the incandescent issue of our day: Identity, intolerance, and the value of free speech. 

Deadpan‘s unfettered comical sensibility is a vivid testament to Mark Twain’s dictum “against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.” Set during the world-wide oil crises of the 1970s, the narrative alternates between locations in West Virginia, Las Vegas, Washington, Tehran, and Sinai, featuring characters as diverse as Sarah Palin, Mel Brooks, and the Shah of Iran. Walter’s phantasmagorical tour-de-force is not only a satirical takedown of antisemitism (and bigotry in general) but also a dazzling celebration of
human dignity, resilience, and humor.

BB25-41. Norm Wolf, Not Just Numbers

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Norm Wolf, on air from Ocvtober 14th

I am Norm Wolf. I have a passion for business.  I started my business life at the age of 10 years old when I would sit in front of my grandfather’s confectionery in front of the Stampede Grounds in Calgary selling pop to people walking to and from the Stampede.

At New Heights Accounting, we believe that a “one size fits all” solution is not good for all of our clients.  Depending on YOUR situation, your accounting requirements are going to be different than those of other people.  We will take the time to tailor a program to fit your accounting needs and budget. We will not do more than that you actually require.  If the only requirement is to produce your tax return (be it a personal or corporation) then that is what we will do; why pay for a set of Financial Statements if you will not use them?

My Wife and I were accountants in Calgary, it was getting time close to when I was considering retirement and wanted a change of place.  My wife was not ready for the retirement life and wanted to open her own accounting firm.  We decided to move west to BC, and we wanted to near a large body of water.  The first location on our list was the Okanagan, but my wife hated the area as it was too much desert.  The next location was Vancouver but that’s way too expensive for us, the next area was Vancouver Island.  She wanted Victoria and I didn’t want to move to an area where there was a lot of traffic, and she wanted someplace with a good hospital and transportation.  Since I had been to the Island many times, we finally settled on Nanaimo.  Without any public practice management experience, we opened our public accounting firm, but with my 45 plus years of experience in business and with my Master’s degree in Business and Anna’s CPA we opened our firm with a theme of “we want to partner in our client’s success, which is the driving force behind our firm.

One of the main themes that I use in my business life is “Accounting is more than just the numbers, it is the people behind the numbers.”
