C15/34b Coaching, Memphis and Murder what do they have in common?

August 14, 2015August 25, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Julie Starr airing August 25th-31st

Julie believes;

‘The issues organisations face right require a basic shift in the principles we operate from. Most importantly, we need to move from a mind-set and perspective of ‘I’ to a felt sense and practical application of ‘we’. This ‘I’ and ‘we’ are just two small words and yet they a world away from each other. When we create results from a need to create ‘win-win’ solutions are so different they become unrecognisable from any results created from a more fear-based, independent view.’

Julie Starr is a highly respected coach, writer and speaker with 20 years’ experience in the coaching field. She is the founder of Starr Consulting, and a leading provider of coaching solutions to support organizational change.

Julie combines many years of coaching practice with a continuing study of human success and fulfilment. She is a Master Practitioner of NLP, with extensive training in Emotional Intelligence, Transformational Leadership and linguistics. She is a Practitioner of The Journey Method (an emotional processing approach) and a graduate of Byron Katie’s school for The Work.

The other side of Julie is her new non business book on living from the inside out

Magic to Memphis

– What if you discovered that your life works from the inside out?

The new novel, by Julie Starr

Jessie is seventeen years old, a runaway musician living rough in a trailer with a pit bull dog called Bear. That’s fine by Jessie; she’s got big plans. A music contest in Memphis offers the chance of money, fame and escape from a nowhere town with no real prospects.

Turns out there’s more in Memphis than music. When Jessie’s mom sends her a box of things belonging to her dad, she finds out that he made the same trip years ago. She’s determined to find hi but has no idea that the ring her dad left her is being hunted by a sadistic killer. Nor does she realize that he will stop at nothing to get it back.

Suddenly, a simple music contest turns into a fight for survival and only a puzzling traveler called Finch has the answers Jessie needs. But will she listen? And can she trust in herself enough to change her luck and make magic happen?

Positive Vibrations Roundtable with Sara Troy and her guest Carrie Stuart and Cathie Devitt, aired FROM August 18th

Was I born to be a writer?

Some people know out of the gate what they want to be in life, my brother new at the age of 6 years old that he wanted to write, but so many of us take a different path only to DISCOVER the author in us later in life.

What does it take to become a writer and how does one start? Join my 2 lovely guests Carrie and Cathie as they share with us the art of becoming an author and what it takes, and how one book naturally led to another.

She has a pencil … and she’s not afraid to use it!

Can a forensic artist reconstruct two centuries of suppressed history . . . before it repeats itself?
In A Cry from the Dust, Carrie Stuart Parks utilizes her own background as a celebrated, FBI-trained forensic artist to blend fact and fiction into a stunning mystery.

Now with her second book her heroin stumbles on a new murder adventure in “The Bones Speak”

A killer with a penchant for torture has taken notice of forensic expert Gwen Marcey . . . and her daughter. When Gwen Marcey’s dog comes home with a human skull and then leads her to a cabin in the woods near her Montana home, she realizes there’s a serial killer in her community. And when she finds a tortured young girl clinging to life on the cabin floor, she knows this killer is a lunatic. Yet what unsettles Gwen most is that the victim looks uncannily like her daughter. The search for the torturer leads back in time to a neo-Nazi bombing in Washington state—a bombing with only one connection to Montana: Gwen. The group has a race-not-grace model of salvation . . . and they’ve marked Gwen as a race traitor. When it becomes clear that the killer has a score to settle, Gwen finds herself in a battle against time. She will have to use all of her forensic skills to find the killer before he can carry out his threat to destroy her—and the only family she has left.

Carrie Stuart Parks is an award-winning fine artist and internationally known forensic artist. She teaches forensic art courses to law enforcement professionals and is the author/illustrator of numerous books on drawing. Carrie began to write fiction while battling breast cancer and was mentored by New York Times best-selling author Frank Peretti. Now in remission, she continues to encourage other women struggling with cancer.

Now writing is her calling and she brings such murderous adventure in her novels along with some lost history.

Cathie Devitt First joined us in 2014 to share the motivation behind her book “Don’t Drink & Fly!”The first in a trio of novellas about the life of Bernice O’Hanlon a witch from Glasgow: Bernice is a witch with many skeletons in her closet. She has an addictive personality, works as a holistic therapist, and struggles to maintain any intimate relationships. Her spells are not always as accurate as they could be, often the result of her having a few too many goblets of red wine. When mysterious letters start appearing at her door, she begins to think about her childhood and, with the help of her long-suffering friend Maggie, tries to come to terms with her past and the family she left behind. But nothing in Bernice’s life is ever simple…

Part Two is at the final edit although Cathie has not confirmed the title. Something that she has thrown open to our Self Discovery Radio audience. But first, you must read “Don’t Drink and Fly!” available on Amazon, Barnes and Nobel, Waterstones and all good book retailers, then contact Cathie with Title suggestions for the next book.

Cathie DeVitt

Cathie has recently embarked on a Mindfulness course which she says helps her focus and make time for herself.
” If you don’t take care of yourself how can you expect to take care of others?”
Mindfulness means waking up to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the present moment. That might be something as simple as the feel of a bannister as we walk upstairs.
Awareness of this kind doesn’t start by trying to change or fix anything. It’s about allowing ourselves to see the present moment clearly. When we do that, it can positively change the way we see ourselves and our lives.

Born in Glasgow Scotland, Cathie’s mother says that her daughter’s first words were, “But Why?” and her second “But why not?”
Some things never change.

“I wrote and performed in my first play at primary school aged 11 years. Life took over and writing was consigned to work-related bumf the quality of which somehow stopped me from being sacked or evicted.”

“I studied at Glasgow and Strathclyde University whilst working and bringing up my two daughters alone. Oh what fun we had!Tears, tantrums, hormones and hooch. (The girls sometimes kicked off too.) The studies resulted in bits of paper that no-one ever asked to see but somehow greased the rungs of the career ladder high enough to ensure that the three of us never went hungry.

The flame of desire to write has flickered on and off but never been snuffed out. Encouraged by publication in various genres, Cathie Devitt moved on to support others by facilitating creative writing workshops. Cathie has also written and performed drama workshops in a corporate environment to showcase company policies and practices, such as Health and Safety and Equality in the workplace. Add to that writing and performing in Festival Theatre and training as a Laughter Yoga Therapist and you can see why Cathie Devitt is in a class of her own.

Cathie has very little time to dedicate to her own pleasures. Work and family commitments make sure of that. However, to release her D.I.V.A within Cathie has-

Trained as a laughter yoga leader
Performed as an actress and stand up comedian
Zip slid in the forest and tackled rope bridges and swings
Explored various countries and cultures whenever the opportunity arose
Loves her daughters two dogs (Lhasa Apsos) Darcy and Sparkle
Embraced Creative writing
Fell in love with a poet when she was 50!

Is always keen to try new activities – has enjoyed taster Hatha Yoga, hot stone massage and meditation while listening to Self Discovery Radio shows.

C15/35a Lord Have Murphy and Awaken Us

August 12, 2015September 1, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Fran Shaw aired September 1st/15

While there may be a plethora of books on consciousness, none is quite like the new Amazon #1 bestseller, Lord Have Murphy: Waking Up in the Spiritual Marketplace. It’s a funny, sardonic commentary that’s also a brilliant entrée to a new level of consciousness unknown even to many people who have dabbled in meditation, mindfulness and even yoga.

Drawings by Bruce M. Sherman

The book’s author Fran Shaw, Ph.D., is a longtime practitioner in a spiritual discipline and an award-winning university writing instructor is also a university professor and an award-winning author whose books include Notes on The Next Attention, Writing My Yoga: Poems for Presence, 50 Ways to Help You Write, and of course, Lord Have Murphy: Waking Up in the Spiritual Marketplace. . Out of her fertile mind has popped Murphy, the star narrator of this journey into this new level of awareness. And Murphy has a wry comment on EVERYTHING!

Murphy demurs from being a teacher—no guru is he—yet his exploration of the nature of this deep new level of conscious awareness is a fun filled, quip-induced, deeply funny, pathway to the higher self.

As Fran notes, “We hear a lot these days about mindfulness. ‘Weapons of mass instruction are proliferating.’ How to clear the air? To trust what’s in us and that we’re finding our way to it.”

With unrelenting humour, this book tells the tale of Murphy giving it a try, only to discover in himself an extraordinary truth: that contact with the finer energy animating us awakens us to a completely different level of being alive.

Whitley Strieber, the host of the hugely popular Dreamland podcast and Unknown Country website, praised Lord Have Murphy on Goodreads: “Exquisitely conceived and executed, with marvellous drawings by Bruce M. Sherman. There is almost nothing more difficult than to open doors in the sleeping soul with humour, but Fran Shaw is a genuine master and does it with grace. Every page contains a small shock, pleasurable, surprising and joyous. ‘God laughs and plays,’ said Meister Eckhart. To wake up into this singing, exuberant world, the first step is to laugh. Lord Have Murphy is a funny, punny, brilliantly attentive doorway into the incredible richness of real connection with higher self and the immense world around us, of which we normally see so little. This book is very special. It has a gentle, deeply spiritual touch that you reach through its humour and beauty. I have really never seen anything quite like it. An extraordinary door into attention.”

Murphy’s satirical comments make readers laugh out loud. The book appeals to both of our natures, the every day and the higher. For Murphy, the daily ups and downs become the necessary reminders to awaken, and “we don’t have to be a certain way to wake up.” All that we need is already in us, hidden from our usual mind. “Nothing about me needs to change except where the attention is.”

Lord Have Murphy is a unique and invaluable guide that helps readers to recognize their own power. Anyone who takes the time to truly absorb the messages in Murphy’s story and follow the advice within will learn exactly how he or she can overcome challenges to live by choice…not by chance! However, be forewarned! Lord Have Murphy is not for the weak-kneed. With his thought provoking musings, Murphy will put you through some serious paces while you’re belly-laughing.

Lord Have Murphy, retail price $19.99 is available from Amazon.com and is also now a Kindle ebook.

C15/33b Angels, Mediumship and Healing the Heart.

August 5, 2015January 20, 2019Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Sunny Dawn Johnston aired August 18th-24th

Why aligning with your Angels is the key to emotional and physical well-being.

There is a major shift happening in the way people are regarding their health (physically, emotionally, and spiritually). More so now than ever, we are aware of how intricately tied our body, mind and spirit are. Angel Communicator, Spiritual Counselor, and Author, Sunny Dawn Johnston, has been guided to empower us all on our journey for health and prosperity. Sunny teaches that all healing (whether it be with addiction, disease, self-image, relationships, grief, etc.) starts from within. In order to truly heal and live our best life, we must connect on a soul level and accept guidance from the Angels who are here to help.

Sunny Dawn Johnston is a world renowned psychic medium, dynamic and engaging inspirational speaker and gifted author. Since early childhood, Sunny has always known she was different and destined to do great things. As a teenager, she possessed an innate wisdom, awareness and curiosity of the Angelic realm and Spirit world. While she fought those gifts for many years, Spirit ultimately won and today Sunny is dedicated to teaching others about the Spirit world and unconditional love.

Over the last fifteen years, Sunny has performed thousands of readings and workshops where she’s communicated with angels, guides, and loved ones who have crossed over to the other side. The constant theme she receives from all of these divine entities and loved ones is: Love never ends!

C15/33a. Am I really Homosexual? Where do these feelings stem from?

August 5, 2015April 14, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest David Pickup aired August 18th-24th

Confusion, many kids at some point have an attraction for the same sex, but does that mean they are bi-sexual or homosexual?

The shame and guilt that is imposed on then shuts them down and they never really get to look at why these feelings are there. Some come from sexual abuse some from misdirection, we need to talk about it and not dismiss or shame someone because of those feelings, and we need to understand if the are real or imposed on a person. If you’re straight or gay all is ok, but if you’re confused know why? UNDERSTAND TO SET FREE.

David Pickup, is licensed in California and Texas as a Marriage and Family Therapist, whose 2 private practices involve those undergoing authentic Reparative Therapy. After having great success with Reparative Therapy in his own life, he is now an experienced therapist who facilitates therapy for men that truly works to reduce or dissipate homosexual feelings and helps them experience their heterosexual potential.

Sound Psychodynamic Therapy
Healing wounds and unmet needs……Resolving causes of homosexuality

Gender Identity Inferiority, especially during a young child’s gender/sexuality developmental years, can be a traumatic experience that is reinforced with Shame-Based Self-Beliefs for many years. For the pre-homosexual boy, and for adult men, bullying and repetitive shaming of gender identity from primary male relationships, frequently imbed this soul-wrenching Shame into the mind of the struggler. The client experiences emotional wounds, (often repressed), that prevent the journey from boyhood into manhood from being fully realized. Maleness becomes an object to the struggler instead of something wonderful that is subjectively experienced. The result?…In puberty, when sexual hormones “kick in,” masculinity is objectified and sexualized.

The men that come to Reparative Therapy in the world today come because they believe in their hearts that Homosexuality, for them, is truly not inborn. They can feel it. But they often don’t know that change is possible, or what to do about it. I invite you to take a look at both sides of the issue, and make up your mind for yourself. The first rule of good scientific evidence for any issue is to be open to consideration of ALL the evidence. What do you think?

Homosexuality is inborn and unchangeable?
Homosexuality is not inborn and can be changed?

I encourage you to read everything you can about both sides. I have to be honest here. I don’t think you’ll find many Gay individuals or Gay affirmative therapists tell you to consider both sides. This is interesting because even the American Psychological Association states that there is no Gay gene. They also state that evidently, homosexuality could be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences.

I encourage you toward find what fits for you.

Reparative Therapy helps a client resolve these wounds, which can result in the spontaneous lessening and/or dissipation of homosexual feelings. The wounds are replaced by confident subjective feelings of their own masculinity and self-esteem. Attractions for women can arise as well. Regardless, a man can move toward his authentic heterosexual self.
