This is a book about my life with epilepsy and how it turned my life upside down from a young child to growing up into adulthood.

I wrote this book about my life with epilepsy as it was a true story to tell and possibly help others who also had epilepsy it in the process.

This paperback book can be classed as a self-help, health, well-being or a nonfiction book.

It features drama, life-threatening situations, inspiration, motivation and other different emotions throughout of what happened while my epilepsy was very bad and not fully controlled.

Also includes how Epilepsy groups and societies who can give a helping hand and did so for me in the process..

Reviews for the book

A wonderful and inspirational book for people coping with epilepsy or any degree of the hardships experienced in life. As per the following quotation by the author, “Being positive and seeing a future filled with dreams is possible. Never give up and never stop dreaming.”

Peter.G

As a daughter of a parent with epilepsy, I can firmly state that Mr. Churchill delivers a poignant, honest telling of the life of those with this condition.

Read the book from cover to cover……I enjoyed it very much….It is told in an honest and simple way that has happened in his eventful life.

I am an ALSO an author that writes poetry along with a non fiction book of my life with epilepsy plus fiction work too.

The passion for writing started at school, when I was a member of the soccer team and I would write a report in class for myself on the games that I played in. Years later I started writing poetry on many different subjects of life adventures and having a good imagination helps too.

One of the goals that I like to achieve when I write my books is that they will help that person who reads my books in any shape or form. Whether it’s giving them the inspiration to achieve things, motivation to move forward in life or relax and enjoy what they are reading. There is always a purpose for someone who writes books.

In 2016, I wrote and published a book of my life with epilepsy and the struggles that I have endured so far as most of my life, I have suffered from epilepsy that has improved during my life. What a journey it has been so far.

Have written individual and also jointly done poetry books with Telsie. Telsie also has done most of the covers to my books too.

As time went by, my talent grew to include fictional story books of a love & betrayal novel being ‘Why’ that was released on the 19th November 2016, that I wrote with my wife Telsie.

In my recent past, I was a member of a Spiritual Church in the UK, being a chairperson and helping out, while still living in the UK that led to writing ‘Spiritual Guiding From Those Above Us’. This book has been very popular.

Hobbies include soccer amongst other sports, music from the seventies and eighties, also the country music of old and enjoy singing at jam sessions, writing and socializing with people.

Recently moved to Canada in 2016 to live with my now wife Telsie. Out in the great lakes of Nova Scotia and quietness that also helps bring fresh new ideas, when sitting outside looking out to the lake in the spring, summer or fall. A bit different from living in a big town which I did in my life up to moving to Canada.

More books are being written as you read this and I am being kept busy. and can also be found on my author page on Amazon.

IG18-47 “Mad Monk Manifesto” with Monk Yun Rou

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast
Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Monk Yun Rou,
on air from November  20TH
A Daoist (Taoist) Approach to the Moral and Practical Issues Facing the World Today;
How We as Individuals and Our Society Must Adapt Daoist Living, Thinking and Acting to Avert
“The Sixth Great Extinction”
According to Monk Yun Rou–Yale educated, South-Florida based author of 15 books, Tai Chi Master and Daoist monk ordained in China–if we adhered to the principles set forth around 500 BC by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching, we wouldn’t be in this mess–but there is just enough time to commit to the Daoist (Taoist) way if our world is to avert “The Sixth Great Extinction.”
You would think that a monk would avoid the limelight and controversy, but not this one! He weighs right in on the great issues of today and how we humans are undermining our existence, not just environmentally, but by creating a toxic focus on self-interest that poisons our politics, lifestyle, health, parenting, technology, human interaction, and much more.
But lest you think his new book, Mad Monk Manifesto is simply a diatribe or rant, it is not! From its subtitle: A Prescription for Evolution, Revolution and Global Awakening you will discern that he has answers. This beautifully penned guidebook, from the award-winning author who has written for The Huffington Post , Vogue, Vanity Fair, Parade, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, WebMD and Fox Business News, reveals all the ways we as individuals, our society and our institutions can adapt and apply Daoist wisdom and practices to life today.

Using those basic principles–take your cues from and exist in harmony with nature, live simply, be authentic and humble, serve others, do no harm, stay calm and creative in the face of resistance, honor your own body, live peacefully-he lays out how things could be different if the Daoist filter was applied to just about everything.
The first section of the book looks at “Relaxing and Rectifying,” the way we can restore peace, calm, introspection and sanity to ourselves. The second looks at “Rebalancing Daily Life” – lifestyle choices. The third examines applying Daoist wisdom to “Fostering Community and Deepening Culture” — how we treat each other. Next, Monk Yun Rou tackles “Culture, Commerce, Government and Power” — a section not to be missed! After that, his clarion call for stopping the destruction of the planet, “Sensitivity and the Environment,” closing with his plea for “Awakening to Spirit and Service.”
Growing up in America, as a young Arthur Rosenfeld, grandson of Holocaust survivors and nephew to a highly regarded Democratic governor of New York stunned by the death of JFK, Rosenfeld came to question much about the harsh realities of the life he saw around him. As a youngster, he found that Daoist classics appealed to his sense of rebelliousness with their “fearless insistence on its existence of higher laws and principles, revolutionary defiance of authoritarian intrusiveness, and emphasis on nature, intuition, mysticism and transcendence.”
But the most powerful experience of his life stemmed from gritty, glorious months in the Paraguayan jungle as a field biologist, which deepened his commitment to Daoism and nature. Only to return post graduate after the intense disquieting of modern university life at Yale, to fly over and discover the utter destruction and desecration of the same jungle for the purpose of cattle grazing designed to feed America’s voracious appetite for cheap hamburgers.
He turned off the path of man’s headlong quest for materialism and toward a life of contemplation, personal practice, and teaching.
Today, Monk Yun Rou is committed to sharing the values and practices of Daoism, of which Tai Chi is the most visible physical form. He may best be known for Longevity Tai Chi with Arthur Rosenfeld on national PBS television that aired in 60 million households from 2010-13, but Mad Monk Manifesto will undoubtedly bring him back to center stage.

RGC 18-46 A FOREVER FAMILY with Rob Schear

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Rob Shear, on air November 13th.

ROB SCHEER Founder of Comfort Cases with Jon Sternfeld

A FOREVER FAMILY  a truly inspiring memoir by Rob Scheer, the founder of Comfort Cases, about his turbulent childhood in the foster care system and the countless obstacles and discrimination he endured in adopting his four children.

Rob Scheer never thought that he would be living the life he is now. He’s happily married to his partner and love of his life, he’s the father of four beautiful children, and he’s the founder of an organization that makes life better for thousands of children in the foster care system.

But life wasn’t always like this.

Growing up in an abusive household before his placement in foster care, Rob had all the odds stacked against him. Kicked out of his foster family’s home within weeks after turning eighteen—with a year left of high school to go—he had to resort to sleeping in his car and in public bathrooms. He suffered from drug addiction and battled with depression, never knowing when his next meal would be or where he would sleep at night. But by true perseverance, he was able to find his own path and achieve his wildest dreams.

Poignant, gripping, and inspiring, Rob’s story provides a glimpse into what it’s like to grow up in the foster care system and sheds necessary light on the children who are often treated without dignity. A courageous, candid account of life in the foster care system, his memoir is also a timely call to action.

I have just read Rob’s book and was blown away by the upbringing Rob had and yet today comes from such heart and conviction towards the need to help children who are dismissed and no cared for.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Huesing, on air October 2nd

Scott is back with us to share the overwhelming response to his book  Echo in Ramadi where he shares his combat journey and in how it has impacted those that have heard him and read the book. Come hear my last show with Scott here.

During his career spanning 10 deployments, he operated in over 60 countries worldwide. Throughout his numerous deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa he planned, led, and conducted hundreds of combat missions under some of the most austere and challenging conditions.                                                                                                                              Scott is a published author since 2005. His book, Echo in Ramadi, is a ten-month snapshot in time that changed the face of operations on the battlefield; a captivating story of Echo Company, 2d Battalion, 4th Marines during the Second Battle of Ramadi in support of the Multi National Forces (MNF) Surge Strategy in 2006. His true-life account provides keen insights into what may be an unfamiliar world to readers, but very familiar to those, like Scott, who lived it and endured this historic fight. Echo in Ramadi was written to honor the sacrifices and spirit of his Marines and the families they supported – it is his tribute to them and his honor to tell this great story. Readers will feel the pain, emotion, laughter, intensity, and friction that Scott describes in unvarnished detail.

RAISING AWARENESS FOR 

VETERAN SUICIDE ONE MILE AT A TIME

On Friday July 22nd, Major Scott A. Huesing USMC (Ret), the Bestselling Author of Echo in Ramadi is riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle across the country again for Save the Brave (STB) to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. Huesing (51), the Executive Director of Save the Brave (501c3) began this ride in 2020 to honor his high school friend and veteran, David W. White (aged 48), who died from alcohol poisoning on Sunday, June 7, 2020, in Butte, Montana. Huesing will ride from Bastards Canteen in Temecula, California to Palmetto Brewing Company in Charleston, South Carolina.

During the 9-day journey, Huesing will make several stops to ask supporters to donate to STB and ride along with him on his journey to raise awareness for veteran suicide – emphasizing that these are not statistics anymore, they are friends and sons and brothers that we all know. He’ll be joined by fellow veterans and riders from every state he passes through amidst the heat of July. Their goal – $100,000. 

When asked, “Why did you pick July to make this ride?” Huesing responded, “I didn’t pick the month – the month picked me. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to everyone who joins me along the way that maybe we need to suffer a little bit to be reminded exactly why we are riding.” Veterans dealing with depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD are especially impacted by the isolation this pandemic has caused in many cases. 

This is a unique opportunity to stay connected as veterans and as communities while supporting a worthwhile charity.
