THE ME TREE

Bear just wants a tree for himself. No roommates, no guests, just sweet solitude. So he packs up his things, finds a great listing for a spacious tree, and moves in. At first, it’s perfect. Just what he wanted. But he soon realizes that his tree might not be just for him… in fact, there seem to be quite a few residents of this tree. Will Bear learn how to share his Me Tree?

C22-18 Dreama and Bob “Gilligan” Denver & Autism


Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Dreama Denver, on air from May 3rd

Dreama Denver: is the wife of late classic TV icon Bob “Gilligan” Denver and the award-winning author of ‘Gilligan’s Dreams’ who has single-handedly carried on her husband’s legacy since his passing. The Denver Foundation is a non-profit foundation started by Bob and Dreama in honor of their severely autistic son, Colin. They understood firsthand in an up-close-and-personal way exactly what families face when presented with the challenge of caring for a family member with special needs. Today, the Denver Foundation assists special needs individuals in  West Virginia. Under Dreama’s tutelage, its mission has expanded to include West Virginia’s Always Free Honor Flight, which recognizes the sacrifices of our veterans with free trips to Washington, DC, to see the memorials built to honor their service.

Actress, writer, radio station owner, and personality Dreama Denver met her husband of almost 30 years, television icon Bob Denver (Gilligan of Gilligan’s Island, Maynard G. Krebs of Dobie Gillis), when she was cast as his love interest in the Woody Allen play, “Play It Again, Sam”. After marrying the popular television personality, Dreama continued her acting career, appearing in a Gilligan’s Island reunion movie with Bob, co-starring with him in a TV pilot titled “Scamps” and touring the U.S. and Canada successfully and happily with her husband for over a decade.

The birth of Denver’s son Colin, diagnosed with severe autism, changed everything for Bob and Dreama, who retired from show business and moved back to West Virginia to devote the next two decades to Colin’s full-time care. During this time, the pair also founded The Denver Foundation, which honors their son and is dedicated to assisting special needs children and their families.

“The Denver Foundation and Little Buddy Radio, a nonprofit radio station owned and operated by the Foundation, were Bob’s last and most important legacies,” Dreama says, “and making these two entities as successful as possible became my mission after Bob passed away. His desire to give back to West Virginia was huge. He loved this area, considered himself an adopted West Virginian and was a tireless ambassador for the state. Regardless of how important and far-reaching his television legacy was, and is, his love for our son and his desire to help other families like ours trumped even that.”

Since Bob’s death in 2005, Dreama has discovered new passions and new directions in which to take the foundation. Founding Always Free Honor Flight, WV’s first Honor Flight program, honoring WV veterans with free trips to Washington, DC to visit the memorials built to honor their service is especially close to Dreama’s heart, as is the Denver Foundation’s Always Free Walk of Honor, installed and dedicated as a poignant addition to the War Memorial and Museum in Princeton.

22-18 Springing into Love

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 3rd

Spring has sprung and with it a sense of love. New births are arriving, the sun is shining, everything is a growing a new, and a spring has sprung within you. It is time for you to spring into your own self-love.

There is something about Spring that makes us smile, it is that sense of renewal, a start of a new day, coming out from under and allowing nature to embrace us in every way. How can we not be uplifted when we see the trees come into bloom, the grass grows, lawns mowed, the sweet smell of cut grass. When we see the colours of the trees, and flowers as they grow and burst into bloom. When we see puppies explore the backyard, children swinging on the swingset again, and the excitement of picnics, BBQ’s and many outdoor activities happening again.

This is also a time to allow our own hearts to open, to ignite our own spirits, and to let our souls guide us into a place of love and self-love. Let the joy of spring open you up and embrace your own inner joy and love of life, each other for in that joy of life, we become the answers we seek and others need, for our own self-love exudes out and embraces all who can feel it.

Be the sunshine in your own life and let SPRING ignite your soul, heart, and spirit into an action of loving abundance.

22-17 Why do we not SEE in front of us?

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from April 26th

Are we too much in a hurry to see what is in front of us? Do we skim over material and ignore the real info? Are we so saturated with exterior static that we can’t hear what we need to know? Are to rushing through life instead of enjoying each moment,?

We have everything at our fingertips LITERALLY. EVERYTHING IS A CLICK AWAY, BUT WE HAVE BECOME SO IMPATIENT THAT WE ARE NOT SEEING WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US. SLOW DOWN PLEASE.

Life is not meant to be a rush, there is so much to absorb around us that we are missing because we do not give anything time. We do not read the information in front of us, then we ask stupid questions when the answer is always there. We do not take the time to listen because we are rushing to the next thing. We are not taking in what we need to know because we are dictating what we want to hear.

Let us slow down, one step at a time, see what is in front of us, take the time to read the details, hear what is being said, feel the information, and reflect on its meaning. I am a podcaster, I do get frustrated when people do not take the time to read the outline of the show or instructions on how to listen to shows. If we just took a moment to look, we would see what we need to know.

All you have is the present, it is the gift of the now and the knowingness, be still listen hear, and apply, please.

Life is not meant to be rushed through but to savor each moment in all its glory and drudgery, for we learn to appreciate everything so much more when we do.
