Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 31st
If one approach doesn’t work, try another. Throughout my life, I’ve constantly had to pivot. Regardless of my plans, there always seems to be something that pushes me in a different direction. Had I been rigid and inflexible, I would have crumbled long ago.
It’s not to say that I haven’t resisted change at times or hesitated to take a new path. Sometimes it took me a while to recognize the need for a shift. But in the end, change was inevitable. This doesn’t imply that the idea or project isn’t valuable; it might simply mean that the timing isn’t right, it needs a different approach, or some fine-tuning.
Trust your gut; it often knows the way. But how can we truly hear and comprehend its whispers? By silencing the noise around us and finding tranquility. Delve deep, and tune into the inner wisdom that resides within. I call this the Knowingness, knowing what you need to know when you need to know it. We are always guided, and when we allow that guidance to happen, it will lead us to where we need to be next.
Throughout my life, I’ve faced countless challenges that tested my resolve. With time and experience, I’ve learned to discern what deserves my energy and what needs to be released. Rather than overthinking, I’ve found it more fruitful to trust my feelings and intuition, guiding me whether to persevere or pivot.
We can all do this, be still, be quite, feel in, block out, and just let be what needs to be…BE.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 24th
I’ve just returned from the UK and oh, what a trip it was! There’s truly nothing like spending quality time with family. My sister and brother were incredible hosts. Every meal with my sister felt like I was dining at a posh 5-star restaurant; she has this knack for making everything so fancy. My brother, on the other hand, had a more homely touch to his dishes, but equally delightful.
You won’t believe the amount of walking I did. Probably a good thing, considering all the scrumptious meals I was indulging in. London was on my list, but I only made it there once – thanks to a train strike. But hey, that’s the UK for you, always full of surprises!
Aside from the culinary adventures, I caught up with a few cousins, took in a movie, watched a play, did some shopping (okay, maybe more than just some), and took out some well-deserved relaxation time.
All in all, it was a fantastic getaway, filled with family, fun, and food. My trip had a significant work element to it as well. My brother, the ever-diligent professor, graciously took out time from his schedule to edit my personal book. Not only that, he also went through the chapters for “Our Forgotten Children” book, which was immensely helpful.
With his invaluable input, I’m thrilled to share that my personal book is now set to release in just a few weeks! However, the journey for “Our Forgotten Children” has had its own set of challenges. Unfortunately, due to funding constraints, I’ve had to make the pragmatic decision to first release it as an eBook. Sometimes life throws curveballs and we need to adjust our strategy. So, an eBook it is, for starters. But, this is just the beginning. I’m gearing up for a campaign to launch the soft cover version as well as an audio edition.
It’s a testament to the fact that even when plans go awry, we find new ways, innovative routes to make our dreams come true. The story must be told, and it will be, one way or another!
While I was in the UK, amidst the joy and the familial bonding, the world outside was reeling. The violence between Israel and Gaza erupted, casting a shadow on the global landscape. The news was heart-wrenching, with images of destruction and the heartbreak of lost lives. Such senseless violence, with both sides trading blows, and the ones truly suffering were the innocent souls caught in the crossfire.
It’s a grim reminder that in these battles, there are no real victors. The aftermath is just more animosity, more pain, and an even deeper divide. It made me ponder, where has our compassion gone? Where is the love that binds humanity together? When did we forget the essence of understanding and healing, choosing instead to perpetuate hate?
These moments challenge our collective spirit. But they also serve as a stark reminder that it’s upon each one of us to rise above this hatred. We need to be the change, be the love, and embody the compassion this world so desperately needs. Because if not us, then who? If not now, then when? We must yearn for a world where love overpowers hate, where understanding douses the flames of animosity.
It’s a profound realization that every one of us has a choice, every single day, in what we nurture within ourselves and how we project it onto the world. We can either feed the flames of division, hatred, and misunderstanding, or we can nourish the values of compassion, kindness, and love. It’s not about picking a side, but rather choosing a perspective – a perspective that upholds the sanctity of life above all else.
Life is invaluable, and every life is a universe in its own right. We must strive to appreciate its worth, to cherish it, and to protect it. To rise above our prejudices, our misunderstandings, our differences, and to connect with the very essence of being human. To exercise common-sense in our judgments, to practice kindness even when it’s hard, and to love unconditionally, breaking the chains of hatred.
Our world needs healing, and it begins with each one of us making that conscious choice – to value life more, to be the beacon of hope, compassion, and unity. And in that choice, we find our true power, our purpose, and our path forward.

I’ve always strived to bring awareness and wisdom to my audience in any way I can. Recently, I took some time away in the UK to be with my older siblings who have been facing significant health challenges. It had been four long years since our last meeting, and it was a much-needed reunion.
However, this hiatus had its consequences. I’ve fallen behind in the fundraising efforts for “Our Forgotten Children’s” book project, and it’s currently far from reaching the required amount for publication. We have a wonderful team of 12 authors plus me, who’ve generously shared their expertise and wisdom on improving the lives of our children. They’ve dedicated their time to sharing this invaluable knowledge.
I am committed to ensuring that these authors don’t bear the financial burden of this project, as it’s also intended to be a fundraiser for their chosen organizations supporting children’s causes. Each author will allocate their portion of the proceeds to their respective organizations, furthering the vital work they do for our children. Your support is greatly appreciated in making this vision a reality.
Are we asking too much of you the listener, the reader, the supporter? While the world is indeed facing its share of brutal conflicts and widespread poverty, endeavors like “Our Forgotten Children” are crucial because they contribute to showing a brighter future is possible. Stories and awareness like these serve as a beacon of hope and catalysts for changes so desperately needed in our children’s lives.
By addressing the way we raise our children, focusing on education, societal values, mental health support, self-value, and self-esteem, we can empower the next generation to find their purpose and place in the world. This, in turn, can reduce the cycle of discontent and anger that often leads to senseless violence and conflicts. It’s about building a world where such wars become increasingly rare, and where compassion, understanding, and peace prevail. Every effort counts in shaping this better future.
I wholeheartedly support the idea of turning “Our Forgotten Children” into a series that brings more authors and perspectives on this crucial subject. It’s a vital step toward deepening our understanding of the issues at hand and finding effective solutions. Our author’s initiative to shed light on what’s going wrong and how we can make positive changes is commendable.
However, your support is essential to making this endeavor a reality. Without the backing of individuals like you who believe in the importance of this cause, we cannot bring this book and its valuable insights to the forefront. Together, we can make a difference and contribute to a more compassionate and informed world.
