The Transformative Power of Art
Art is more than just a visual expression—it is a language of the soul, a bridge between the seen and the unseen. Whether through watercolor, digital mediums, or performance, art captures the essence of human experience, reflecting our emotions, stories, and intuitive wisdom. It is a tool for self-discovery, a means of connection, and a legacy that transcends time.
Like the work of Sunshower Rose, who has immortalized faces, moments, and messages through her artistry, creativity is a gift that speaks beyond words. It is a reminder that art is not just what we create but how we bring our essence into the world.
Sunshower Rose, a professional artist since the early 1980s, is best known for designing the City of Sedona, Arizona logo in 1988. Specializing in watercolor, she later incorporated digital techniques using Photoshop. A respected art tutor in Verde Valley, Arizona, she has also performed in art concerts, comedy, and mime.
Her legacy includes collaborative digital artworks and a deep connection to intuitive creativity, receiving ‘Writings’ from her art. Her book, Sunshower’s Art Speaks, is set for release in March 2025.
With a focus on the human face and figure, she has drawn and painted approximately 200,000 faces, earning global recognition for her caricature work at events and online. Since 2001, she has also been active in the wellness industry, becoming a field leader and trainer in alternative health and network marketing.

Living your unique purpose and passion and being OK with vulnerability in that process – I lived my life being afraid to be myself for fear that others wouldn’t like the real me. Being bullied as a “nerdy” kid and feeling ugly and ignored, I was afraid to be my true self. I was a people pleaser, which led to an unhappy marriage, blindly working for a corporation for 41 years, and, unfortunately, not loving myself. Once I hit rock bottom, I realized I needed to go on a transforming journey. My mission in life is to help women honor and prioritize themselves much sooner than it took me. I am inspired to help women stop floating through life and lead them on a path to honor their “why” through self-discovery, healing of old wounds, and unwavering support for change. All while taking a leap of faith in themselves.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 4th
I had a wonderful conversation with a gentleman called Nigel Henry yesterday. We were talking about angels—who they are, what they are, what percentage of them are of the human race, and what their job is here. A lot of people think angels are just beings with wings floating in the universe. But angels are here on Earth, taking many different forms. They are among us, protecting and guiding those who do their work here.
I don’t consider myself an angel. I consider myself someone committed—someone who, for thousands of years and through many lifetimes, has sought to ignite the hearts, souls, and spirits of the human race. My purpose is to connect people to the divine, to wisdom, to love, and to the exuberance of the universe. I am here to help channel what people need to know when they need to know it. That has always been my role, no matter what human form I have taken. In this lifetime, I am finally able to say, “I am this,” without fear of persecution. While there may still be ridicule from those who don’t understand, at least I no longer fear being burned at the stake.
We are meant to tap into universal wisdom and love, to embrace the godlike essence that is within us. We are made up of the universe itself, extensions of its wisdom, and this knowledge is always accessible. But too often, the human intellect gets in the way, preventing us from allowing our spirit to download this wisdom. Why is it so difficult to do this? One of the biggest problems is that we are human beings—but we focus too much on the “human” and forget the “being.”
The “being” is the essence of illumination, the understanding of what, why, and when. The human is the vessel having this experience, learning to tap into wisdom to understand its meaningful purpose in this lifetime. My meaningful purpose has always been to ignite hearts and souls, though I am sure there have been lifetimes where I went astray. Even in this lifetime, I have struggled. I grew up as a spirit who saw things, felt things, and carried wisdom beyond my years, yet I did not comprehend what that wisdom meant.
At the same time, I was trying to fit in. I didn’t want to be different, yet I couldn’t help but be different, because different was what I was. I wasn’t here to be part of the pack or even to lead the pack. I was here to open up the pack to the possibilities that lay before them. One never knows what those possibilities could be, and that is the excitement of the human experience—exploring what our human and spiritual essence can accomplish, achieve, and create.
When we allow ourselves to explore and embrace this connection, we begin to understand the meaning of life—our personal meaning of life. As Nigel pointed out, there are very few of us in the human population who are here to press the right buttons, switch on the right lights, and ignite the hearts and souls of others. The vast majority of people are not yet ready for this, but many others are waking up.
As much as I would love to exist in a higher dimension, where I feel at peace, fortified, painless, and in truth, I am here on Earth at the bridge of the fourth and fifth dimensions. My purpose is to show people the path forward, to help them tap into their higher selves, and to demonstrate that being a “human being” is about more than just existing—it is about truly being. No matter what roles I have played in life—restaurateur, shop owner, DJ, tech investor—the goal has always been the same: to help elevate humanity to its highest potential.
People have always been drawn to me, not because I invited them, but because they needed the information I could share. It has never been about human intellect, but about spiritual intellect—the divine knowingness that downloads into my soul, which I then share when the moment is right. I have always been there for people at the time and space they needed it, even without deliberate intention.
One of the things I love most is seeing people come to life—discovering themselves, rising up to a higher level, and embracing life with love, exuberance, and purpose. My platform now allows me to interview people who have made this journey, stepped into enlightenment, and become beacons of light for others. These people are here to help those who are ready to transition into higher awareness.
Yet, as we discussed, this journey can be lonely. People pass through me on their way to enlightenment, and while it is wonderful to be part of their path, it can feel isolating. I am not part of the pack; I am the conductor of the orchestra, bringing together musicians with the same energy, passion, and love so that they can create harmonious music. But it is not my music—it is theirs. I simply help them share it with the world.
It is important to recognize the angels, the lightworkers, and the healers among us—those who ignite and uplift others. Most of them walk a lonely path, not because they are truly alone, but because their role is to guide others forward. I have been alone all my life, but I am not lonely. I have learned to embrace myself, let go of expectations, and enjoy my own company. My grandchildren are a source of pure love and joy, untouched by the contamination of societal expectations. When I am with them, I am reminded of the purity of the soul.
If you are feeling unseen or unheard, or if your soul is not being nurtured, reach out—hug a child, embrace a pet, connect with the natural world. These beings resonate on the level of pure love and can help rejuvenate your spirit. If you are a lightworker, take care of yourself, too. Give yourself time to recharge, to do what lifts you up. For me, that is music, nature, and witnessing acts of kindness.
This world needs more love, more empathy, more connection. The more of us who step into our heart, soul, and spirit, the more we become the healing force that transforms this planet. My shows are here to help you on this journey—to introduce you to people who can guide, support, and inspire you. So listen, learn, and apply. There is no quick fix, no magic pill—only the willingness to walk the path and embrace the journey.
So rise up—not in anger, but in love, kindness, and compassion. Open up, receive, and elevate. Because this higher plane of existence is far more peaceful, productive, and fulfilling than the lower one. We are here to support each other, and I am here to help guide the way.
