Sara’s View of life with Sara Troy, on air from Octopber 28th

Last week, I became a grandmother. I had done a show about the waiting and the anticipation, and finally, the little one arrived—fast, intense, and beautiful—a healthy baby boy. There’s something profoundly different about being a grandmother. When you hold your grandchild, the feeling isn’t about responsibility, as it was with your own children. It’s about wonderment, nurturing, sparking the imagination, and sharing the love from a place of pure presence.

It’s also a reminder to slow down. We’ve become so expectational, so one-dimensional in our chase for what we think life should be, that we forget how to simply be. Holding this little boy reminded me of balance—of equilibrium and common sense. Life isn’t about being swept away by the noise of the outside world; it’s about grounding ourselves in what truly matters.

When I held him, I felt his energy—his strength, wisdom, and intuitive nature. He reminded me that simplicity is the gateway to truth. We don’t need to complicate life with endless chasing and comparison. What we truly need is presence, imagination, and gratitude for the small things.

The world around us feels shaken—by greed, anger, and disconnection. But when we reconnect with nature, with one another, and with our hearts, we rediscover the meaning of life itself. Holding a baby, hugging a tree, laughing with loved ones—these are the real treasures.

As I cradle this new life, I pray he grows up in a world of compassion, higher consciousness, and unity. A world where success is measured by kindness and love, not status or wealth. I am grateful for my family, my children, and my grandchildren, for they are my greatest blessings.

So, pause. Breathe. Feel. Ask yourself what truly brings you joy, and do more of it. Because in the end, life’s greatest gift is simply to be present, to love, to laugh, and to live authentically from the heart.
