The Voices of Classic Soul have been around the world and back again several times each as the lead singers of four of the most legendary vocal groups of all time: the Temptations, Platters, the Four Tops, and Drifters. The three singers have a back-story right out of a Hollywood movie; Coleman, Blunt & Peoples grew up singing together in church and on street corners throughout the 1960s before finding fame and fortune separately, then reuniting after 30 years to harmonize together once again.

The DanSing Pancakes’ Healthy Choices Musical Story is a new, edutaining, high-action, illustrated children’s book written in rhymes, and with a “scan and play” audiobook by voiceover narrator and actress Shayna Small and with a hot new song, written and performed by legendary Platters® lead singer Joe Coleman.

The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington [DC] proudly had a cameo part in the fun song. Please visit www.DanSingPancakes.com.

Pablo and Priscilla Pancake were born suddenly in a frying pan at a home near yours. They bathe in bowls of syrup and they attend Panfry Primary School. There they encounter “human” classmates smoking, and talking about drinking and doing drugs.

Through their adventurous story and a hot new song, the DanSing Pancakes help kids resist drugs, alcohol, and smoking while teaching them positive choices such as studying hard, eating healthy foods, and being good friends.

What readers are saying about Joe Coleman’s DanSingPancakes: “I wanted to tell you about a little boy I read it to in the play therapy room. His mother, who has struggled with addiction and is on the verge of losing him was in the lobby. He sang the song until he memorized it. He then went out to the lobby, got down on his knees in front of his mother seated in the chair, and sang it to her and made her sing it with him. Joe it was quite honestly one of the most moving things this old therapist has seen in 30 years. So that is my critique of your book through the eyes of a little boy who dearly loves his mother.”-Beth Hughes; Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and Certified Trauma Therapist who specializes in treatment of traumatized children & adolescents, and their families.

Sara is authoring in 3 books

December 8, 2023January 27, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Over the next few months I will be launching three books that I have co-authored and authored.

The first one is a glimpse into my life and how I got to where I am today; My Self Discovery to Soul Living, it covers my early childhood and the obstacle of being a spiritual child who saw things she did not understand and had a knowingness that was beyond her compression.

I was a sickly child, I was given Ashama and Eczema at the age of two when the Asian flu went through England. This left me going in and out of hospital and spending days and weeks in bed when I got a cold and bronchitis. With 4 white walls looking at me, I had no option but to dimensional travel for my sanity.

This led to opening my soul and spirit to seeing things others did not see ,and showed me that my connection with the divine was where my truth and purpose laid and my heart was full with it. This presented an issue in the world as being a spiritual being was not fashionable and not always a safe place to be in this human world. Living as a human was very difficult for me as trying to fit in was like a round shape trying to fit in a triangle.

I speak to my journey of my Self Discovery into whom I am today living in my cosmic truth and purpose. E-BOOK LAUNCHED NOW

I am also proud to be a part of this book on Dare To Live Fearlessly, speaking to our fears and how to overcome them. It launches January 2024 and is available to pre-order December 29th. Alexandria the conductor of this book is also an author in Our Forgotten Children Book. Hear Alexandria’s story HERE

Our Forgotten Children’s book speaks Our Children who Represent Our Future. They Are The Promise Of Our Nations, Carrying Forward Our Traditions, Our Values, And Our Aspirations. However, It’s Disheartening To See That We Are Consistently Failing To Provide Them With The Resources, Opportunities, And Support They Need To Thrive. Our authors speak to the issues and what we can apply as solutions to seed and help grow our wonderful children.

A summit with the authors is coming mid January, the book launches in February and in March there will be “Ask the Author’s” platform, where readers can ask each authors on the subject of their chapter and cause.

To see the full line up of authors and summit event and launch on February 20th go here.

https://orchardofwisdom.org/our-forgotten-children-book

Being a part of these books has been an honour, and finally sharing my own story was a journey in its self. Even though have been podcasting for nearly 12 years with my own network, and blogging for over 20 years; writing a book revealing your past and how I came to be where I am now, was an experience in its self, one where I learned a great deal about my self.

Contributing to the Dare to be Fearless book was a reflection of my own fear, and writing in Our Forgotten Children’s book, amongst such other authors was yet a challenge but also a realization of a dream to produce this book finally after 5 years of dreaming of it.

Though we have a dream and it does come into view straight away, if we allow, it will come when the people and the time is right, and then, many doors open tapping into the good vibrations of a collectiveness and inspirations.

This is the time and with more collaborative books to come, I have tapped into the positive energy and I allow my waters to run free and allow what ever is to be, to be. .

LOA 23-49. Joanne Watson Pets Behaving Badly

December 4, 2023December 1, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Love Our Animals with Sara Troy and her guest Joanne Watson, on air from December 6th

I want more people to know about the options on how to get your pet to behave differently over Zoom. One thing that COVID showed us is that many different and often surprising things can be accomplished over Zoom now. This is one of them.

I believe in fixing Pets Behaving Badly because life is stressful enough without having our fur-legged family adding to that stress. They are supposed to help us relax and have fun, not add to the turmoil and burden of life! Also, as in the case of anxious pets, they can harm themselves and I don’t like that either. Christmas can bring out or magnify these behaviours because everyone’s excitement and stress levels rise.

The definition of ‘BADLY BEHAVED’ is under ‘naughty’ in the English Oxford Dictionary, where naughty is described as: badly behaved, disobedient. So, if your pet isn’t doing what you want, then technically, it’s naughty, disobedient, badly behaved when compared to your set of rules. I’ve spent lots of time working out how to fix these problems in my own animals and now I do it to help others.

23-49. December is Calling.

December 4, 2023December 7, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from December 5th

It’s that joyful time of year again—December has arrived, bringing with it a whirlwind of festive cheer and excitement! Everywhere you look, the spirit of Christmas is in full swing. The streets and shops are bustling with people eagerly engaged in their holiday shopping, each person hunting for the perfect gifts to surprise their loved ones. Kitchens are alive with the delightful aromas of baking, as families and friends come together to create delicious treats and share cherished recipes.

In the midst of all this, we’re also wrapping up important tasks. Businesses are busy closing out the year, finalizing projects, and setting the stage for a prosperous new year. Parents are proudly watching their children complete another successful school year, reflecting on the growth and achievements made.

And then, amidst all this delightful chaos, there’s the balancing act we all perform—juggling the demands of daily life with the added excitement and responsibilities of the holiday season. It’s a hectic time, but it’s filled with joy, warmth, and the priceless opportunity to create lasting memories with those we hold dear.

I am Celebrating two daughters’ birthdays around Christmas and it certainly adds an extra layer of excitement and joy to our December! It’s wonderful to embrace this bustling time with such a positive spirit. Balancing their special days with the Christmas festivities is indeed a unique challenge, but we can handle it with care and love.

Ensuring that each daughter feels special on her birthday is crucial, especially when it’s so close to Christmas. It’s important to separate their birthday gifts from Christmas presents, so each occasion feels distinct and equally celebrated. This thoughtful approach shows that the birthday their special days matters to us.

To manage the financial and emotional aspects of this busy season, it’s helpful to plan ahead. Budgeting for gifts and celebrations in advance can ease the financial strain. Maybe consider setting aside a separate budget for each daughter’s birthday and Christmas, so you can track expenses more effectively.

To avoid burnout, remember to take some time for yourself amidst the preparations. Self-care is vital during busy times like these. Delegate tasks where you can, and don’t hesitate to simplify plans if it helps maintain your well-being and enjoyment of the season. Think Pot-Luck dishes, they are so much fun.

I often speak of loneliness on my shows, especially during the holiday season. Loneliness can indeed have a profound impact on individuals, and your effort to bring awareness and support to those who might be feeling isolated or forgotten is commendable to any and all of you.

There are several ways you can reach out and make a difference:

Community Events: Organizing or participating in community events that are specifically designed to include those who might be alone during the holidays can be a great way to show you care. This could be a communal meal, a holiday concert, or a simple get-together.
Volunteering: Offering your time at shelters, soup kitchens, or senior centers can have a big impact. It’s not just about the physical help but also about showing those who are alone that they are valued and remembered.
Outreach Programs: Working with local charities and organizations to create outreach programs for the homeless or those living alone can help bring warmth and companionship to their lives. This could include delivering holiday meals, care packages, or personal notes.
Media Platform: Since you’ve mentioned doing shows on the subject, using your media platform to discuss the issue of loneliness during the holidays can raise awareness. You can share stories, provide resources, and encourage listeners to reach out in their communities.
Personal Gestures: Sometimes, a small personal gesture can make a big difference. This could be as simple as visiting a neighbor, sending a card, or making a phone call to someone who might be spending the holidays alone.

Remember, the key is to show genuine care and make a heartfelt connection. Even the smallest act of kindness can bring a great deal of comfort and joy to someone who is feeling isolated.

Let’s embrace this festive season with open arms, cherishing each moment, and spreading the joy and love that this time of year is all about. Happy December!

Here’s to a delightful and memorable December filled with birthday cakes, Christmas cheer, and lots of love!
