Listen once, Not war. Stop fighting, hate. Rather let’s smile at this distance, which remains your rocky range and mine in the water crashing on you like waves of joy. See what we are: This water of the Ganges, and the Amazon, rising through me, the forests on the shore embroidered by the banana plants, the aloe Vera that grows on the wood to your heart, the engrossing you all over me, the twilight moment of misty moonlit, all are us inch by inch pulled towards each other. Within everything, you, and me: The blue and white of the autumn sky The deep green shade of wildflowers, bushes, The creek, extended arms of everything around waiting in peace, as you ride my tide, bring monsoon and spring, caress with tender madness of stroke, crying for more of you, as you dig deep, the fountain of kisses covers me.
But this may not be the case.
Little by little in battle, we tear each other to pieces, Instead of nectar, drink water that has turned blood, When we keep looking for someone to save us from this nightmare, we gave birth to, see: You, the iron-mold canon, I, the woman with raptured womb came out a foetus, bathed in semen and blood, legs spread, eyes gauged out, breast sliced, in the no man’s land!
When there are the atomic bombs, instead of the heart, where a thousand kisses are traced through bullet rain, missiles replace us, germs rot our clouds of dust, How do we know once we were alive? Rained flowers on each other? Let the seeds grow into trees, and dug happiness from mother earth? How will you know, from dust to dust, from blood to blood, from particles to particles, that crazy wind, breaking itself on the rocks of the Mountain, is me, in search of you?
Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Ros McMaster, on air from March 8th
There are two things we can know with certainty. First, we were born. Second, we will die. Life changes fast. Life can change in an instant. In 2008, I attended a Buddhist course on Death & Dying while volunteering at their Hospice service. “At the time of your passing,” Chodron said, “it’s important to be at peace spiritually. Whatever you believe, believe in it fully. There’s a great deal of peace and comfort at the end of life if you firmly believe that something greater, more powerful, and more beautiful is waiting for you.” BUT; Life is for fully living in the now with soul enrichment and gratitude abundance, you will eventually pass over with peace in your heart and soul.
“At the time of your passing” Chodron added, “it’s important to be at peace emotionally. Despite walking a spiritual path for many decades, the workshop was causing me to question the strength of my faith; and more importantly, the emotional health of the relationships around me – non more so than the relationship I had with myself. Much later, I understood that moving deeper into exploring those two principles helped me set a path that sustained me when death, grief, and loss knocked at my door. Not once, not twice, but five times. Life, I came to realise, is fragile and unpredictable. My search for emotional peace began with a simple act of gratitude, and lead me down the path of self-worth, forgiveness, and the shedding of years of fear that kept me from living my most authentic empowered self.
Getting Psyched
In 1997, I obtained a Psychology Degree, opened a counselling practice specialising in regression therapy and sand play, and began using my gifts as a psychic medium in conjunction with mainstream therapy processes.
After years of study in both mainstream and alternate therapies, I have now opened myself up to working in a deeper way with spirit to bring emotional healing that is transformative and lasting.
Spirit knocked a little louder
Two years after my 30yr marriage came to an end, I was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. I’m now a proud cancer survivor. One year later, in 2017, I nursed my ex-husband until he passed away, 5 weeks after his own cancer diagnosis.
The deep levels of inner healing which I underwent during my most challenging times, led me to my authentic self. Towards freedom from fear, and an unconditionally loving heart.
Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy on air from March 8th
In your life expect some trouble, that is life, but worrying about it will not resolve the problem you have.
How do we not worry? We need to take a deep breath, redirect ourselves into something we have power over, or go for a walk, watch a movie, but take ourselves out of the worrying. When you come back in, it is easier to see a solution. Sometimes like those fleeing Ukraine, their worry if they will ever be able to go home, but living in worry for something so unsure right now is not going to resolve anything in the now. Do what you can and be productive in a different way. Those who have found shelter, you are safe right now. So poor yourself from a place of gratitude into helping your country in ways that you can. Speaking out, bringing awareness, sharing your story, and send out positive energy of triumph to all those who are left fighting.
Although you feel everything is against you, pause, cry, release, and then look to what you can do however small, and feel empowered to get into action. This puts you on the road of solutional productivity and opens up all possibilities that you can see in the worry mode.
I know it takes practice, and we all have so much to worry about, but we know worrying helps nothing, and choosing to do something is the road to resolving our problems.
Whatever you are facing in life, know this, you can and will get THROUGH it and there is always an answer when we are ready to receive.

Raising our gifted children with Sara Troy and her guest Dewatti Basdeo, on air from March 8th
‘Magnificent Me Magnificent You The Great Barrier Reef’ children’s story and yoga activities book. This is the second book in the natural wonders of the World Series I am currently writing. In this book twins, Crystal and Leo and their clever dog Einstein embark on an adventure of discovery of the Great Barrier Reef, its beauty, and its teachings. Alongside the story are a range of wellbeing activities children can utilise to support both their physical and mental wellbeing. As well as the above, the book will be fundraising for different organizations working on the conservation of reefs and world oceans.
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. Coral reefs are home to thousands of species and play a critical role in maintaining healthy oceans and subsequently a healthy planet.
We are each steward of our planet, home to our future generations, in this understanding, we endeavour to contribute towards maintaining a healthy planet the best we can.
One way we will be doing this is through raising funds for different organizations working to this endeavour through the sales of our children’s story and yoga activities book titled ‘Magnificent Me Magnificent You The Great Barrier Reef’ available to order through online sellers and bookstores globally. It can be ordered through our online store through the below link.
The first project that will be raising funds in support of is the Coral Sea Foundation Sea Women of Melanesia program.
The Sea Women of Melanesia program empowers indigenous women in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands with the training, skills, equipment, and resources they need to take an active role in helping indigenous communities create and manage marine protected areas on their own coral reefs.
Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Ben Albert, on air from March 8th
When Covid hit I was furloughed from work, I found myself down and out, staring at an empty handle of Jim Bean Whiskey, opened this laptop I’m typing on right now, and started reaching out to strangers on Linkedin. The rest is history. Now I host 5 podcasts, run a massively successful marketing firm, and have replaced my sales executive income in just over a year.
I stumbled into a form of networking I now have coined “The CAN System,” and today it’s my mission to get the knowledge from the people who have it to the people who need it. With “CAN,” my success story becomes the norm. You can do it too.
I’m Ben Albert; regular name, regular guy. LET’S COLLABORATE!
I started Balbert Marketing LLC amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Let’s not beat around the bush, Coronavirus has pushed us to all evaluate our careers in one way or another. We all feel some level of fear, pain, or worry about friends, family, and the effects on our amazing nation.
For me, I had to make a decision. Do I pick up binge eating, get lazy, and get used to staring at the wall? Or do I develop a business STRONGER than any company I’ve worked for in the past?
That’s why I’m here. I am committed to overachieving in my role and do things right. I provide whatever is necessary to help your business GROW!
Martin Luther King Jr once said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.”
I decided to take 5 steps forward to begin building one of Rochester’s best young companies!
I urge you to take that leap of faith forward, and continue to build your empire!
Ben Albert is also the owner of Balbert Marketing LLC. He is also the curator of The “Real Business Connections Network.” He hosts 5 podcasts, “Rochester Business Connections,” “Learn Speak Teach,” “Ben’s Bites,” “Five Minute Fridays,” and “Real Hits.”
