Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 7th

Well, when this show airs, I’ll have just turned seventy-one, the big 71, entering my seventh decade. It’s just a number, really, one that’s shaped more by attitude than years. Still, considering my father died at forty-five and others I’ve known have left this world far too early, I see each birthday as a privilege. I’ve survived another year, and I hope to see many more ahead.

As I look back across these seven decades, at all I’ve done, where I’ve been, what I’ve achieved, and even the “why did I do that” moments , I carry forward the good memories and leave the rest behind. Life is full, and I am blessed. My days are busy with podcasting, sharing extraordinary stories from around the world, and now, as a grandmother awaiting the birth of another grandchild, my heart is full of love and anticipation. Between the shows, the babies, and the books, my schedule is bursting, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Turning another year older only deepens my gratitude. I’ve signed a contract with the universe to keep doing this work for as long as I can see, hear, and talk, hopefully well into my nineties! The universe, of course, has its own plans, but I follow its guidance with joy. I’m proud of the books I’ve helped bring into the world — Our Forgotten Children, Liberate Your True Self, The Discovery of Self, and the next, Our Forgotten Seniors. Each one carries stories of wisdom, courage, and hope.

Age, I’ve learned, isn’t a decline; it’s an accumulation of knowledge, of grace, of purpose. The aches and pains come, but passion fuels me past them. I find inspiration in people in their sixties, seventies, eighties, even nineties, still living their dreams, still shining their light. They remind me that joy and purpose are the true youth elixirs.

So, don’t let age or limitations stop you. Share your story, your lessons, your laughter. Listen to your body, honor your energy, and live from the inside out. Let your wisdom serve others. Growing older is not something to fear, it’s something to celebrate. It’s a privilege to be here, to love, to create, to witness new generations rise, and to still have dreams that call us forward.

To everyone out there, whether it’s your birthday or simply another beautiful day, remember that every sunrise is a new birth, a new beginning. Live it fully, love it deeply, and keep sharing your light with the world.
