I came done with 2 viruses and then bronchitis, which means I had to cancel a few shows last week and reschedule them for another time. I hate having to do that, but life happens and sometimes is out of our control, and that is ok.
So this week with a husky chest and splutter nose I did 6 shows, and that also ok, for again life happens and we do our best with what we have. WE PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE ON OUR SELVES TO DO IT ALL AND WHEN WE CAN’T WE BARATE OURSELVES. NOT GOOD, FOR TRYING TO LIVE UP TO AN IMPOSSIBLE EXPECTATION WILL ONLY LET US DOWN.
It is OK to say no, to change appointments, to take time to heal, to reschedule, no one will think bad of you, and if they do, then don’t do business with them. We have to pace our selves, lay out the priorities and sometimes say no to things if there is something else you need to do. I have a dream that I wish to see through, will I make it? I don’t know but I am going to try and achieve it, I just have to schedule my self into trying. If I don’t get there, that is ok, for I am proud of what I have achieved thus far, and what ever is to come, will be.
Some times we need to take a step back and ask ourselves if we are going in the right direction or can we redirect, re-prioritize and not let others expectation dictate our way for us. What ever it is, it is ok to say no, I can not, need to reschedule and re look at our own balance of life.
Take the time for you to be you, not just what you are doing, but being.

Ignite your heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Ann. K. Frailey, on air from May 24th
OldEarth Melchior Encounter, an epic sci-fi saga about humanity’s survival in a hostile alien world.
A.K. Frailey became a widower seven years ago, left to raise her eight children on her own. She knows what it is like to have to navigate through challenges and find a way to survive and thrive. This sense of self-reliance filters into her fantastical books, in particular, her successful science fiction tales. Her newest book, the fifth in a series, OldEarth Melchior Encounter, has received strong reviews since it was released this fall.
In this interview, A.K. will talk about:
How she explores humanity’s search for a creator and the meaning of existence
Why she shows the conflict between humanity’s need for God and our desire to be God
The price of evil in family and society. What truly defines family?
Examines marriage, parenthood, and the purpose of our vocation. Is our role in life something we choose — or are we born into it?
What inspires her to write a whole new world, with its very existence on the line
How she balanced a writing career while raising eight children on her own
A. K. Frailey, an award-winning author of a historical sci-fi and science fiction series, short story collections, inspirational non-fiction books, a children’s book, and a poetry collection, has had 15 books published in the past decade. Her novels expand from the OldEarth world to the Newearth universe—where deception rules but truth prevails. Her non-fiction work focuses on the intersection of motherhood, widowhood, practicing gratitude, and rediscovering joy. As a teacher with a degree in Elementary Education, she has taught in Milwaukee, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Wood River, and was a teacher trainer in the Philippines for The Peace Corps. She earned a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing for Entertainment from Full Sail University.
Ann has won two course director’s awards in Episodic & Serial Writing & Film Screenwriting and was Valedictorian when she received her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing. She made finalist in the Tuscany Press Writing Contest, was a two-time winner for the Catholic Writer Seal of Approval, received an Honorable Mention in the Hollywood Book Festival, and was made runner-up in an Indie publishing contest. A widower, Ann home-schooled all eight of her children. She manages her rural homestead with her kids and their numerous critters. In her spare time, she serves as an election judge, a literacy tutor, and secretary/treasurer of her small town’s cemetery. She resides in Fillmore, Illinois.
Ann’s work ranks among the best.” — Movie Director and Producer Cary Solomon
“Blending of historical fiction and science fiction…Frailey creates compelling characters.” — Publishers Weekly BookLife
“Frailey writes in a crisp, lean, and richly detailed style, building a fascinating, absorbing world.” — Blue Ink Review
“In the tradition of some of the greatest stories in the genre, Frailey takes a page from our current world issues and weaves it into an intriguing story of global and personal conflict.” — NB Thrilling Films 2 Inc. 2nd Assistant Director Ben Hrkach
“Epic trials forge epic heroes,” says Frailey. No, she wasn’t talking about herself, but about the themes in her books, where people of ancient times struggle to find meaning in a world dominated by evil choices. While managing their own conflicts, aliens fight for their place in human events.

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guests Renier Jooste & Kathryn Woolf, on air from May 24th
We’ve both taken our journey inward, and what we found is oneness.
We all have a story. The form it takes does not matter. For Renier it was anger. For Kathryn it was not good enough. What matters, is that we remember the truth of who we are.
We practice Self-Love so we can remember to experience this oneness, and in doing so share it with the world.
Love is one.
When we forget, life is hard.
We fight, we force, we project, we fear and we hurt.
We both want our own growth and our own healing more than anything else, and so we teach Self-Love to help us remember.
In our own consistent practice of showing up for ourselves, we remind you of something you already know, but just forgot.
Paqarina was founded by Renier Jooste and Kathryn Woolf. After each studying an obsessive range of spiritual and personal development modalities, they found A Course in Miracles: a pure non-dualistic teaching of Love.
about us
Our Story
If the journey back to our freedom was easy, everybody would have done it. The road seems surely long, and the distractions around us, very real, leaving us searching in all the wrong places; weary and weak.
Deeply entrenched in the patterns and conditionings of our lives, there are many shackles that keep us bound to chains we don’t even realise we drag behind us.
But there is another way and it doesn’t have to be so hard.
Inspired by a powerful message of Love and healing, the two founded the company as a platform dedicated to teaching another way to live, love and do life. Their mission is to simplify the information age, and help people transcend the intellectual understanding to experience the experience for themselves; undoing the blocks to the awareness of the presence of Love within each of us.
After each travelling a deep journey of personal transformation they combined their 40+ years of experience, to shine a light on the blocks to the awareness of the presence of Love within each of us, together with a formula to outsmart the ego, and accelerate the process.
They practice Self-Love as a way to remember an experience of oneness, and in doing so share it with the world.
Today they help powerful women experience peace and joy through Self-Love in 90-days.

“for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Jon Landers, on air from May 10th
Music kept me from checking out from life back in 1999 after going through a divorce from a 29-year marriage. In the three years following my divorce, my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer, my dad tried to commit suicide as a result of my mom’s health and my brother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. If I hadn’t walked into Circuit City and seen a keyboard and hit the demo key that played the theme to the James Bond movies, I would not be here today to talk about it. I simply purchased the keyboard, labeled the keys, and used the built-in loops to create my own music and lyrics.
I started as a stock transfer agent for what was then called The First National Bank of Boston back in 1969. I then went to work for my dad in his import-export business which led me to become the National Sales Manager for a British company and went on to help a German horticultural company to get established in the North American market. I then became a manufacturer’s rep for the lawn & garden and hardware industry being one of the first agencies to sell and service The Home Depots and big box home centers covering a territory from Maine to Virginia. I burned out in 1999 when I went through my divorce and switched to becoming a self-taught graphic designer purchasing a graphic design company, in 2001 that led me to move into the music industry in 2012 and started The Big Apple Indie Music Series aka TBAIMS to support independent music artists by providing a venue(s) for them to perform live in front of music, entertainment, TV and film industry executives including A&Rs. I studied networking prior to starting TBAIMS where I was attending an average of 4 networking events a week in the NY, CT, NJ markets. I also researched social media and found myself on most of the social media websites early on. I am in the top 11% of LinkedIn users and if you Google my name, I’m usually on page one with my profiles showing.
FREE GIVEAWAY.
