Sara’s View Of Life with Sara Troy aired December 1st-
December, a month we look at buying gifts, getting ready for Christmas and celebrating the festivities. Let it also be a time for KINDNESS, for GRATITUDE, for GIVING, for LOVE.
Do not get caught up in the buying frenzy putting yourself in debt or keeping up with the Joneses, this is a time for GIVING, but of your SPIRIT, your KINDNESS, your HEART and your DIVINE LOVE.
Song by Daniela Andrade.
Gratitude of being, of giving, of sharing and of living is what this season is all about, let us not forget it.
Support your local food banks, think of the homeless, the lonely, the single parents, the elderly, the singles and the children.
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 Nancy Guettier aired December 8th
Singer-songwriter and children’s book author Nancy Guettier inspires children with her See It-Believe It-Achieve-It Mantra. Through her five award-winning, acclaimed Nancyland books, she empowers children to be the best version of themselves-and even reach for Mars, the Moon and the Sky!
Guettier finds inspiration in each of her children to write entertaining and educational stories. Guettier’s style is whimsical and fun, making learning effortless. Each of her children’s books have a holistic approach with educational twists.
Guettier has produced an award-winning short film based on Mermaids on Mars complete with her original songs. It has been invited to and won various film festivals including Best Animated Short at the Carmel International Film Festival, Best Animation at the LA Underground Film Festival, LA Children’s Film Festival and others. This will likely inspire a full-length film and a TV series, according to the author.
“Just like in nature you can’t force a tree to grow it just does -so I surrendered my ego and let go and amazing things happened. That is what led me to where I am today, a thriving business, fluid creative thoughts, the right people on my path, loving kids and a supportive partner by my side,” stated Guettier.
Some of Guettier’s secrets for success are: she cleanses her body four times a year and make sure she takes care of herself so she can provide for her kids and keep a youthful healthy appearance. She believes in putting her best self forward to deliver a positive message: “You need to live the life you want to present to the world. Mind body and spirit all illuminated to shine onto others while shining bright inside yourself and your home,” Guettier shares. Habitat for Humanity receives a portion of Nancyland book proceeds.
Nancy Guettier, an emerging author of children’s books, is committed to inspiring and encouraging kids to enjoy learning new things. With a background of more than 25 years in the children’s industry, Nancy has provided retail visual merchandising for Gapkids™ and BabyGap™. She used to hold the position of VP of Visual Merchandising for Pottery Barn Kids and PBTeen™ before leaving to pursue her calling.
Personal Inspiration
After adopting her three children, Nancy was inspired to write books that are not only appealing and whimsical, but that also provide educational content. Most importantly, she feels strongly about offering kids the opportunity to learn about new topics.
Nancy donates some of her proceeds to Habitat for Humanity, buy a book and support the building of lives.
The five-book series from publisher Morgan James Kids includes:
Mermaids on Mars
Roy G. Biv is Mad at Me Because I LOVE PINK!
Circus in the Sky
Jude’s Moon
I Wish
Mermaids on Mars is a whimsical story about mermaids – when they lived on Mars. Mermaids thrived in Mars’ crater pools and used up all of the water resources, splashing around. Thanks to a very cool rocket ship, the mermaids travelled to Earth and settled in our oceans. Mermaidson Mars also helps children learn the importance of water conservation.
Roy G. Biv is Mad at Me Because I LOVE PINK! is centered around Genevieve who loves splashing in puddles after a rain shower. Mostly, Genevieve loves pink; however, pink is not a color in the rainbow. Understandably that upsets Roy G. Biv, who convinces her to experience all the colors of the rainbow. Roy G. Biv is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink has been named “Best New Children’s Book “by the San Francisco Book Festival and the Hollywood Book Festival
This little gem is a delightfully entertaining read. Julian dreams he is the ring leader of the constellations in Circus in the Sky. He discovers Leo the Lion, theGemini twins and the rest of the sky’s 88 constellations.
In Jude’s Moon, Jude loves the moon so much that he believes he is the one who hung it in the sky. Throughout the story, Jude examines the phases of the moon, as well as fun facts about the sun.
Guettier’s most recent book, I Wish is about friendship and the importance of a best friend. Genevieve and Ariana find a magic wand and are excited to explore all of the magic it can provide. They learn, however, that despite their whimsical journey of wishing, dreaming and discovering, all they really need is each other

Helping others is supposed to be a good thing, right? That’s what they tell us.

Volunteerism and Love are at the Heart of Robert’s Clancy’s
“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Soul”
An Evocative Collection of Inspirational Stories and Transcendental Journeys That Transform the Way You Think About Community Service and Humanity
“Daily Downloads and Fortune Cookies from the Universe” is Clancy’s Second Book Delivering Nuggets of Inspiration Every Day
Clancy says that “soul hitches” occur every day in interactions with others: any interaction-large or small that changes how one view oneself, an event or the world. A chance run-in with a stranger or an intimate conversation with a family member creates an indelible imprint on our soul. You hitch a ride on someone’ else’s soul and you are changed forever. Consider it hitching a ride on a big beautiful cosmic highway!
And how does one experience more of these incredible life-altering experiences? One amazing way is by volunteering by putting yourself out in the world to help others. Says Clancy, “The more you reach out and help others, the more you’ll be guided on your highway naturally.”
Welcome to Clancy’s inspiring book:“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Soul: A Collection of Scenic Views of Volunteerism, Transcendental Encounters with Kindred Spirits and Lessons in Compassion.”
The book is a soul-filled travelogue of experiences in which volunteerism is the catalyst for life-changing events and joyful interaction. The book is born from Clancy’s own passion to serve, which began when he was just six years old. He is an entrepreneur, inspirational speaker, ordained minister, master martial arts instructor in both Tae Kwon Do & Chon-Tu Kwan Hapkido. Clancy is a published author from the heart of upstate New York who experienced a life-defining spiritual experience at the age of 19 that he writes about in his upcoming book with the working title, Soul Cyphers – Decoding a Life of Hope and Happiness
Today, he blends his beautiful consciousness into his business life as co-founder and managing partner of Spiral Design Studio, one of the largest full-service graphic design and web development firms in the Northeast. Spiral Design’s clients include dozens of corporations, educational & healthcare organizations, non-profits and startups, including Citigroup, Home Depot, Sears, Activision, Disney, among many others.
Balancing his corporate commitments with his lifelong love and compassion for humanity, Clancy supports ongoing volunteerism within his business and his everyday life. His dedication to community – at both the regional and national levels – inspires his team and encourages youth, as well as professional leaders, to step up and give back.
Says legendary actor, author, and philanthropist Hugh O’Brian, who wrote the book’s foreword, “Robert is one of those people to whom I tip my hat. He is a dedicated volunteer who completely embodies the spirit of service-a selfless commitment to helping others to make a positive difference in the world.”http://hoby.org
However, Clancy may best be known by the general public for his Facebook fan page “Robert Clancy-Guide to the Soul” which has a quarter of a million followers worldwide. Here he offers divinely inspired thoughts and reflections that provide wisdom, thoughtfulness, and encouragement to people hungry to get more out of life.
And so it follows naturally, that his second book Daily Downloads and Fortune Cookies from the Universe, provides inspirational thoughts within nine uplifting categories–faith, hope, love, compassion, giving, peace, happiness, strength, and leadership–to help center one’s spirit and encourage compassion for humanity. This collection of nuggets is guaranteed to put a smile on someone’s face, create a cozy warmth and motivate one to make a difference.
