24-20 So worth it.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from May 14th

I’ve finally settled into my forever home, or at least I hope it’s forever. It’s incredibly peaceful here, surrounded by trees and the sweet symphony of birdsong. Owls chime in at night, adding to the tranquility. Despite the serene setting, the move itself was quite the ordeal, especially with my fibro and arthritis acting up like an unwelcome duo.

Moving from Victoria to Nanaimo on the Island was a challenge, but thankfully, I had the assistance of two remarkable young men from a company called Junk in your Trunk. These guys were a godsend—kind, helpful, and considerate beyond measure. They went above and beyond what I expected from a moving company, and their rates were the best I found. Their help made the transition smoother and eased a lot of my stress.

The next leg of the journey involved retrieving all my belongings from storage in Vancouver, just a ferry ride away. I’m immensely grateful to my son Tyler and his fiancée Jess for not only gifting me a couch but also for lending their strength in loading everything onto the truck and then into my new home. Their support made the process much smoother. And I can’t forget to thank my oldest daughter Tabytha for her invaluable help in emptying out the storage unit and keeping me grounded throughout the whole ordeal. Having family by my side made all the difference.

In my new home now, the task of finding places for all my belongings is both exciting and daunting. I know I’ll have to bid farewell to some of it, but as things start to come together, there’s a sense of accomplishment. My son-in-law and daughter, who generously bought me this home, have been absolute heroes. They’ve been unpacking, hanging pictures, and even replacing appliances (the old stove had a penchant for fiery antics). Their support has been a blessing beyond words.

My grandson RoRo is absolutely thrilled to be at Grandma’s, and I cherish every moment with him. And my little one is as content as can be, always adaptable. Amidst the ongoing unpacking and organizing, I’m learning to listen to my body’s signals—it’s telling me to slow down and take breaks, I have to as I seize right up painfully. We’re negotiating, my body and I, with a bit of humor thrown in. HAHA.

There’s still plenty to do, but I remind myself that I have time. I’ll tackle each task gradually, one box, one plate at a time. Patience is key, and I’m not going anywhere. This home is where I’ll settle in, make memories, and create my sanctuary.

Thank you for my home Shearers, it is so lovely living on my own and I am in such a peaceful place.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air form April 29th

As I watched my Grandson’s play with other children from one of my Grandsons 1st birthday, I realized that it was wonderful to witness, but also wearisome. It’s truly delightful to see the innocence and joy in children as they interact with each other, forming friendships and creating memories. However, as a grandparent, keeping up with their boundless energy and constant activity can also be tiring. Balancing the joy of the moment with the exhaustion it brings is a part of the beautiful journey of parenthood and grandparenthood. Nonetheless, these experiences are cherished for a lifetime, creating a tapestry of precious moments that contribute to the richness of family life.

It is important to recognize that taking breaks and allowing ourselves time to recharge is not only acceptable but also essential for maintaining our well-being. As we mature, our energy levels may not be as boundless as they were in earlier years, particularly when our children were young. This means that we may tire more easily and be more susceptible to feeling drained by raucous or energetic environments, such as those filled with lively, rambunctious noise. Recognizing our personal limitations and taking the necessary steps to address them is a vital part of self-care and ensuring that we are better equipped to engage with the world around us. Whether it means taking a breather or returning home to regroup, it’s important to prioritize our own needs in order to effectively navigate the demands of our environment.

Do not feel shame or apologies for that is not necessary, feel no guilt, for we all if lucky enough to get to a mature age, will feel the same at some point. It’s important to recognize that experiencing these emotions is a natural part of the human experience. Instead of feeling shame or guilt, it’s essential to practice self-compassion and understanding. By acknowledging and accepting our emotions, we can work towards healing and growth. Everyone faces challenges and moments of vulnerability, and it’s okay to seek support and understanding during these times. Remember, you are not alone in feeling this way, and it’s okay to be gentle with yourself as you navigate through these emotions. Embracing our vulnerabilities can lead to greater empathy and connection with others, ultimately enriching our human experience. Allow yourself the space to feel and grow from these moments, as they are an integral part of our journey through life.

So enjoy the party what ever it is, but know when to take a break, or leave and do not feel guilting about it, if people do not understand, that is on them.

AK24-18. Barbara J. Taylor’s Scranton Trilogy

April 29, 2024April 29, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Barbara J. Taylor, on air form April 30th

Barbara J. Taylor, author of Rain Breaks No Bones Set in 1955, this final installment in Taylor’s best-selling Scranton Trilogy explores a family’s legacy of loss and a sometimes mystical vision of a better tomorrow.

Though the novels are connected, they each stand alone.

EVERYBODY HAS SECRETS. EVEN THE DEAD.

Fifty-year-old Violet has had a good life. The love of an honest man. The joys of motherhood. Yet, even in 1955, her heart still aches over the death of her sister more than four decades earlier. Lately, Violet can’t help thinking about the little girl, picturing her in the moments before the accident, wearing that pleated white dress and a hair bow to match. Maybe if her big sister were here now, she could tell Violet what to do about the secret she’s been keeping from her daughter Daisy.
Daisy has a secret of her own. When she first moved back home to Scranton, she wasn’t ready to give up her dreams of performing in Atlantic City. Then she met Johnny, a man who needs music as much as she does. Her first real chance at love. If only they can find the courage to buck small-town thinking when it comes to interracial dating.
Small-town thinking. Zethray had seen her fair share of it. That’s why she advertised a room to rent in The Negro Motorist Green Book. Give folks a safe place to stay away from home. That’s how Johnny ended up at her door. Now he’s sweet on some young woman. Not that he told Zethray, but she knows. The dead like to talk, and she listens. If only her mother would tell the secret behind her shocking death. Instead, she stands silent, while that little girl with the bow in her hair runs wild.
Rain Breaks No Bones, is the final novel in the Scranton Trilogy, starting with Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night, followed by All Waiting Is Long. Though the novels are connected, they each stand alone.

Marisa Thomas, Author, Executive Coach, and Business Owner, is a talent amplifier, forward-leaning visionary, and strategic business leader. She is the Founder of DoorSeffect LLC, and describes herself as a “constructive optimist”, striving to continually lift, adapt, and evolve the way business leaders think and approach their people and business growth.

She is charting a new course to bring a more profound sense of relatability and connection between business outcomes, technology, customer needs, and the “Humanforce.” Her mission is to – Transform the thinking, Evolve the person, and Arrive! Because every leader deserves to live their best life!

I grew up in Leicester, England, with Italian parents who moved to England in their early 20s. I am the youngest of four children, and I often isolated myself to sit in the shadows of my more accomplished siblings. I struggled with academics, which caused me a lot of inner turmoil. My family is incredibly supportive of each other, so there was really no need for me to feel the way I did, and I think my dad tuned into this early on. He never judged but always reminded me of what I was good at and inspired me to elevate those strengths. What I was good at centered around a love for the arts. I found my confidence in dance and theatre, which taught me so much more about myself and shifted my mindset to turn my academic struggles into my biggest superpowers in leadership.

After a short career in teaching, I turned to the corporate world and started a 25-year career at Capital One. I started on the phones, quickly finding myself in the training department within 6 months, and continued to grow my skills in eliminate the overwhelm . Throughout this journey across various disciplines, from supplier management to operations and strategic business management, I maintained a love for developing the leadership of others. I have been coaching and mentoring emerging and experienced leaders for over 2 decades, and it is now the fully committed focus of my business, DoorSeffect.

I’m on a mission to eliminate the overwhelm that comes with the responsibility of leadership and shift that toward elevating the foundational strengths of great leadership. From 2 decades of research, coaching, and practicing as a corporate leader, I have found a formula that has amplified the talents of so many who were lost in the speed force of life and the fast-paced, constantly increasing super-human expectations.

I have helped countless leaders step out of the speedforce of life and find value-driven clarity and purpose to strategically preserve, cultivate, and optimize their energy to live their best life. The best part is that these transformations toward amplified fulfillment at work and in life have a compounding impact on their teams, organizations, and communities at large.

That’s why I am on a mission to help leaders live their best lives. When they do, they pay it forward tenfold and everyone wins.
