Your Health is Your Choice, with Sara Troy and her guest Michele Elizabeth Drake., on air from December 7th
Master Your Habits – Elevate your Life. It was in my mess that I found my message and have guided thousands to find their sanctuary in life. It benefits anyone that has not yet allowed the power of consistency in thought and action to assist their elevated existence and overwhelm and stress have been running their show. I love being witness to a blossoming life and people reclaiming youthful vitality.
Developing a new wellness practice is hard. We often struggle to realize our aspirations, and if we do get started, staying consistent remains difficult in forming a new habit.
We have made practicing a new behavior fun & easy for you!

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from December 7th
Are you in flux this year on what to give for Christmas? Are there shortages of products where you are? or do you simply have no idea what to give everyone? Here are some suggestions and ideas from me of what you can give this year, but mostly how you can step into caringness, kindness lovingness to you and all your care for.
Here in BC, Canada, we’ve witnessed the harsh reality of an overwhelmed landscape: whole towns threatened by rising waters, farms destroyed, livestock lost, vital roads and railways washed out — the very infrastructure we rely on for survival gone in the blink of an eye.

When the scale of suffering feels too big and it seems like there’s nothing we can do, it’s easy to feel helpless. But there is something we can do. We can stand with those in crisis — we can support organizations working on the ground. We can make donations in the names of our loved ones, turning our gift-giving into a powerful act of hope and solidarity.
By giving in this way, we help rebuild communities. We help provide shelter, food, care — and most importantly, love — to people who are feeling lost, frightened, lonely, or abandoned.
This Christmas — let your gifts not just be things wrapped in paper, but gifts of hope and compassion. Together, we can make a difference.
What is gifting it forward? It is gifting a donation to an organization in someone’s name and giving them that gift for Christmas, it becomes a gift of giving that keeps on giving. BOOKS IDEAS HERE and HERE
Support your local food banks, think of the homeless, the lonely, the single parents, the elderly, the singles and the children.Every drop counts so please donate, money, or time, of items, and hope.
Good gifts to also give as a family is food, hats, scarves, socks, coats, blankets, sleeping bags, kids’ toys, art books crayons, books to write in, novels for parents, toiletries, and so much more.

Goats make great gifts! When you buy a goat, sheep, donkey or chicken through Unwrapped, you are supporting Oxfam’s programs. These gifts are not just about food security – they’re also about ensuring communities have access to marketable products, like milk, wool or eggs. A single goat can create greater self- sufficiency, self-esteem and educational opportunities for recipients and their families. – See more at:

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Heather Dugan, on air from December 7th ~Tips and advice from relationship expert and award-winning author Heather Dugan on how to keep loneliness at bay~
Heather says that loneliness is a personal concept. While some people don’t need a lot of social interaction to be happy and healthy, others may have contact with friends and family members all the time and still feel alone. “Loneliness happens when you feel socially isolated, and it can have a powerful impact on your mental health. You need to plan for low moments and make the most of situations that are beyond your control,”
The holiday season should be a time of joy and love, but it can also be a time of loneliness for many people. As we gradually crawl out of the pandemic, the uncertainty around traveling and vaccine hesitancy among Americans may force people who live far from family to stay home and miss seeing their loved ones. “For those who feel a sense of loneliness, holidays can be a time of major additional stress,”
Dugan. “You can still make memories for yourself by being creative and flexible. Build new “traditions” and find ways to embrace rather than avoid the alone time.”
Some useful suggestions from Heather to add some cheer to solo holidays:
Refrain from comparing yourself to others and assuming they are doing great
Focus on the brighter and positives of the situation
Volunteer and offer your service to someone in need

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 30th
The year is coming to a close, people are desperately trying to get business completed before the year ends, and this can cause some unknowing disrespect. I know you are in a hurry to get those last deals in or set up your clients for the coming year, but, please, pay attention to the people you are dealing with now and do not jerk them around.
Time management, pace your selves, put aside things that can wait, and be in the present of the gift of now. Not everything has be done right now, and you missing appointments can cause stress on those who could have put someone in your place. So folks, so respect, doing only what is necessary right now and plan for the year to come in a nonstressful way.
Christmas shopping, it can be fun or hell, and that all depends on if you are have patience and ready for the delays. Don’t fight for the parking spot, don’t push your way in, be mindful everything will take longer so plan ahead. Buy locally and celebrate safely, we are still in a pandemic and we want this over, so let us all do our part.
Here in BC Canada with all the floods, we are not going to receive our gifts in time, delays in shipping and shortages of goods will affect our gift-giving. So take a pic of what you are giving and if it does not arrive on time, give the picture with its on its way.
Look at gifting in a loved ones/friends name, a donation to an organization/charity that needs it, so many are in need right now. Don’t forget that a gift of time, unconditional time can be the greatest gift of all.
BE KIND, HAVE PATIENCE, PLAN, AND BE RESPECTFUL, FOR WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
