24-51. Festive Cheer to All

December 16, 2024December 15, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Troy, on air from December 17th

This is a tradition I’ve followed for many years, sharing reflections each holiday season. In past shows, I’ve talked about gift ideas, the importance of appreciating what you receive, and the often-overlooked workers in parking lots, grocery stores, and those working through the holidays. It’s vital to recognize and acknowledge others, especially those who may be alone or unable to celebrate Christmas. A small gesture, like a gift or a kind word, can show that you see and care about them.

The holiday season is celebrated in so many ways, depending on faith and culture. While Christmas is a focal point for many, it’s important to respect and embrace the different traditions, as they enrich our shared experience. After the challenges of the past few years—from the global pandemic to political upheaval and ongoing struggles—we still face much suffering. But I’m looking ahead to 2025 with hope. My vision is one of the “sisterhood of common sense Love,” where women step up to create a world built on love, cooperation, and community, rather than competition, greed, or violence.

If you know someone who will be alone this Christmas, consider inviting them to join your celebrations. It’s especially sad to see people alone during the holidays, whether they can’t be with family or follow a different faith. This season is an opportunity to learn about and embrace other traditions, broadening our perspectives. Christmas is truly a time for connection, joy, and community. My family celebrates in a unique way—our big celebration takes place on Boxing Day, with games, food, and small fun gifts, focusing on togetherness and making memories.

I also believe it’s important to celebrate birthdays, no matter how old we are. They represent another year of life, lessons, and blessings. Of course, Christmas has become very commercialized, but it’s essential to remind children to appreciate the gifts they receive and practice gratitude before rushing into the next one. Gratitude is something I’ve explored in many of my shows, and it’s a theme that can transform how we approach not only the holidays but life in general.

The holiday season can bring joy but also highlights the struggles many people face, including the suffering caused by wars, poverty, and political strife. One of the greatest gifts you can give is to donate to causes that support those in need, especially during this time of year. You can donate in someone’s name, making a meaningful impact. I know it’s an expensive time of year, but even small gestures can make a difference, and we all can contribute in ways that work for us.

As we approach the end of the year, I want to wish everyone a joyful holiday season, regardless of the celebration. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or another tradition, it’s a time to come together in gratitude, love, and hope. These celebrations offer us the opportunity to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new year with optimism and faith.

I want to thank everyone who has supported Self Discovery Wisdom this year. While my statistics may not be high, every listener and reader is important to me. My mission is to provide wisdom and insights to help guide people, and I’m so grateful for those who tune in. In 2025, I’ll be working on some exciting projects, including the “Forgotten Children” and “Forgotten Seniors” books, shedding light on voices that are often overlooked.

As we enter the holiday season, remember that Christmas isn’t just about gifts. It’s about coming together, sharing, and celebrating the joy of life. Even if you’re not with family, you can create your own community and make memories with friends or coworkers. If you know someone who is alone, reach out, invite them in, and celebrate together. It’s not about the size of the house or the extravagance of the meal—it’s about connecting and sharing love.

During this festive season, I encourage you to practice gratitude. Before you dive into your meal or open your gifts, take a moment to reflect on what you’re thankful for. This practice shifts our focus from what we lack to what we already have, fostering a mindset of abundance. For those in pain or suffering, remember that even the smallest things, like the ability to speak or the chance to be with others, are reasons to be hopeful. Even in the darkest times, there is always the possibility of healing and transformation.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, filled with love, joy, and connection. Whether you’re with family, friends, or both, take time to appreciate what you have and share the gift of togetherness.

Let’s be generous—generous with ourselves. We can give our funds, time, or love. One of the greatest gifts you can give is your time, attention, and love. That friendship, that care, that willingness to listen—is the greatest gift of all.

I truly hope you all share that gift with each other this festive season, no matter what you’re celebrating. From me, at SelfDiscoveryWisdom.com, thank you for listening, for caring, and for sharing your stories with us. I’m so excited about what’s to come in 2025 and all the wonderful shows we’ll continue bringing to you. I’m constantly meeting amazing people who are doing incredible things, all from the heart, and that’s what matters most. When it comes from the heart, you know it’s going to serve others well.

So, Merry, Merry Christmas! A Happy New Year to you all. We’ll see you in 2025.

Bye for now.

24-49. Participate Cheerfully

December 2, 2024December 1, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, everyone! Welcome back to another edition of Sara’s View of Life right here on selfdiscoverywisdom.org. I’m your host, Sara Troy.

Today, I want to talk about community, friendship, and putting ourselves out there to meet new people. December is upon us, and for many, it can be a lonely time of year. As someone who’s relatively new to my neighborhood—just seven months in—I’ve been learning the importance of making an effort to build connections. Whether it’s joining groups, starting conversations, or stepping out of our comfort zones, forming relationships takes initiative.

When I first moved here, I was overwhelmed with setting up my house, working on my shows, and caring for my grandchildren. Add to that some health challenges, and I didn’t make time to engage with others. But now, I’ve started reaching out. I’ve connected with people in my retirement community and even made a wonderful friend named Lynn. In December, a group of us are planning a ladies’ night out—a little Christmas party to treat ourselves.

I also attended an Alignable event recently, which was an incredible opportunity to meet people locally. Alignable is a great platform for networking, and their local events are a fantastic way to connect with others. At this event, I met Sharon, a lovely woman whose focus on health and wellness I can’t wait to share with you in an upcoming interview.

It’s not just about business connections, though; it’s about creating moments of joy, building friendships, and expanding our circles. For many single women, especially as we get older, the opportunities to socialize can seem limited. But instead of waiting for invitations, we can create our own events. Gather some friends or acquaintances, dress up, and enjoy a festive dinner. Or, if that’s not an option, consider volunteering.

December is full of opportunities to give back. Volunteer at a food bank, a toy drive, or an animal shelter. Help out at a local church or retirement home. By stepping into these spaces, you not only make a difference but also open the door to meaningful connections. Even if it feels uncomfortable at first, it’s worth it for the sense of belonging and purpose it can bring.

If going out isn’t an option, consider hosting a virtual gathering. Use platforms like Zoom or Facebook Live to invite others for a casual chat. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just a time to connect. Pour a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and let the conversation flow. It’s amazing how these small steps can build a sense of community.

For those of you who know someone who may be feeling isolated this season, reach out. Knock on a neighbor’s door, offer to pick up groceries, or invite them for tea. If you can’t include them in your own holiday celebrations, drop off a little gift to let them know they’re seen and valued. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, can have a profound impact.

Loneliness can be especially hard during the holidays, and we must remember those around us who might be struggling. Seniors, single parents, or displaced families may need an extra bit of care and connection. Consider opening your home or table to someone in need—it could make all the difference in their holiday experience.

Let’s make this season about more than just celebrations. Let’s create moments of care and connection, ensuring that everyone feels included and valued. Together, we can make this time of year a little brighter for everyone.

That’s what Christmas is all about, isn’t it? It’s about embracing one another, setting the table, and being inclusive. Sure, it’s about family, but who says family always has to be blood? Family can be the people you choose to surround yourself with—those who uplift and support you.

I’d love to do more of that here. As someone still new to my community, I’m slowly building connections. But even now, I plan to involve the people I’ve met, especially those who may be spending the holidays alone. It’s important to bring others into the fold. While I do have my own family, and we’ll celebrate on Boxing Day with everyone gathered, I might invite a couple of friends over for a Christmas breakfast to ensure no one feels left out. It’s the small gestures that matter most.

If you’re wondering what you can do, start small. Get dressed up, head out, and treat yourself to lunch. I’ve spent many meals alone, enjoying my own company, people-watching, and soaking in the atmosphere. It’s a habit I developed out of necessity growing up shy, but it taught me the value of being comfortable in my own skin. Whether you go solo or invite a friend, taking that step to do something is what counts.

Budgets can be tight during the holidays, and I get that. My focus is usually on meaningful, fun, and simple gifts rather than expensive ones. It’s not about the price—it’s about the thought and the love behind it. Something handmade, a small token, or even a gesture like a babysitting voucher can mean so much. The greatest gift, however, is simply being present with one another.

I’m grateful to be forming new friendships in my community. Being able to say, “Let’s go for coffee or lunch,” and enjoy someone’s company is such a gift. We need to create our own tribes, wherever we are. Don’t isolate yourself, don’t switch yourself off, and don’t discount your worth. If you feel alone, participate in something. Join a group, go for walks, or simply greet a passerby with a smile and a hello.

We’ve forgotten how to connect, haven’t we? We’re so absorbed in our phones or preoccupied with our own lives that we forget the power of a simple interaction. Let’s lift our heads, share a smile, and engage with the world around us. There’s so much warmth and connection waiting for us if we only embrace it.

I’m excited for another upcoming meeting where I’ll get to meet even more people. It’s an evening event, which works better with my schedule, and it’s conveniently close by. It’s opportunities like this that remind me there’s always a door open somewhere. You just need to find the right group for you, whether it’s business-related, hobby-based, or simply a social gathering. It’s all about the camaraderie and building those connections that bring meaning to the season.

This message beautifully captures the essence of community, kindness, and mindfulness, especially during the often hectic holiday season. Sara emphasizes several key points that resonate deeply:

The Importance of Connection: Whether it’s through a business group focused on camaraderie rather than competition, or simply inviting friends over for a meal, connection is vital. Finding ways to engage with others and support one another, especially during challenging times, brings warmth and purpose to the season.
Mindful Holiday Shopping: Amidst the frenzy of holiday shopping, Sara reminds us to practice patience and kindness. Both shoppers and workers are stressed, and a simple smile or kind word can transform the experience for everyone involved.
Adaptability and Simplicity: Delays and shortages may arise due to postal strikes or other factors, but the emphasis should remain on the thoughtfulness of the gesture rather than the physical gift. Even a note or IOU can convey the spirit of giving without unnecessary stress.
Financial Mindfulness: Sara’s own approach—sticking to cash and avoiding credit card debt—is a valuable reminder to prioritize financial well-being over the pressure to overspend.
Extending Kindness to the Isolated: Including those who might otherwise spend the holidays alone is a beautiful way to embody the season’s true meaning. Whether it’s a neighbor, a friend, or a stranger, a small gesture can make a significant impact.
The Gift of Positivity: A smile, a cheerful demeanor, and spreading love are the simplest yet most profound gifts we can give. Sara’s closing wish for love, joy, and peace reminds us all of what truly matters during the holidays and beyond.

This heartfelt reminder to be kind, mindful, and inclusive is a perfect message for the season. ?

24-48. Sister-hood & Common Sense Love.

November 25, 2024November 24, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 26th

This week, my show is focused on sisterhood and common-sense love. The wise Linda L. Nardelli, whom I’ve interviewed before, shares daily spiritual messages, and today’s message was incredibly timely. It speaks to the spiritual warrior within us, urging us to stand confidently behind our convictions, express ourselves honestly, and be transparent. These are powerful tools for overcoming adversity in our lives. Balance, integrity, and self-empowerment are essential in our journey to become spiritual warriors, and we must embody these qualities to create change.

You have been drawn to this entrance to become a devoted spiritual warrior. The cougar is a potent symbol of self-advocacy. You must stand behind your convictions with absolute confidence in your self-worth. Self-expression, honesty, and transparency are the gifts you need. These are powerful tools that can disarm any adversity in your life.

Masiandia, “The balance between all the bodies: physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual is the way of the spiritual warrior. And integrity is the only way to bring balance into your life. You have chosen this entrance for one reason: to get real, be bold, speak up, say your truth, and do it with the utmost respect for your power. You have every right to how you feel, what you need, and what you see and sense.”

As I reflect on my own journey through podcasting over the last 12 and a half years, I recognize the importance of standing up for others, especially women, who are working to improve the world. Women are the true bearers of common sense and love. For me, common-sense love is about sharing solutions from a place of practicality and love. With everything happening in the world right now—elections, wars, and societal struggles—it’s clear that the time for women to rise and say, “Enough is enough,” is now. Common sense needs to prevail, and it’s up to us to make sure that happens.

Sisterhood is rising in response to these challenges. The Mission Accepted 262 book highlights 262 women who have shared their passions, convictions, and wisdom with the world. Through this book, we are empowering one another to step into our full potential, regardless of our backgrounds or circumstances. While we may not yet have a woman in the White House, we don’t need political office to lead. The world needs love and compassion, but it also requires accountability, common-sense action, and respect for one another.

As part of the Mission 262 project, I’m honored to be among the women sharing their wisdom and encouragement. This book represents a five-year journey to awaken people to solutions, and it’s been incredible to see the lives it has impacted. The journey continues, serving as a reminder that the time to uplift and support one another is now.

In these times, we must also be accountable for our choices. If we support actions that cause harm or do nothing to stop injustice, we are complicit in those actions. It’s essential to hold ourselves and others responsible for our choices and their consequences. We cannot allow ourselves to be passive bystanders—we must seek the truth, demand answers, and make informed decisions.

The world’s problems—ranging from political instability to environmental disasters—demand that we come together to support one another. We need to offer solutions and stand in solidarity. This means supporting all people—whether they are women, men, transgender, non-binary, or those who don’t fit into traditional gender norms. We all need to be in this together, regardless of our differences.

It’s time for a new kind of leadership grounded in love, compassion, creativity, and accountability. We must empower those around us, not by tearing each other down, but by embracing each other’s differences and working together toward common goals. This is not the time for judgment comparison or competition. Instead, we should focus on compassion, empathy, and strength, while recognizing that our flaws can be our greatest strengths.

The universe is shaking things up to wake us up, to help us grow vibrationally, spiritually, and consciously. Now is the time to stop complaining and start making a difference. We have the power to create peace, love, and equality in our world by being the change we wish to see.

In the face of natural disasters, political unrest, and widespread suffering, we must come together to rebuild, offer support, and help each other thrive. The true currency of change is common-sense love. We must take action from a place of love, compassion, and respect. This is how we will transform the world into a better place for everyone—one that is rooted in equality, kindness, and understanding.

We can no longer afford to engage in petty rivalry or judgment. Instead, we must embrace one another, celebrate our differences, and support one another with love and common sense. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and work together for a brighter future. Let’s plant seeds of compassion, empathy, and kindness and watch them grow into something beautiful.

We are going through a challenging time, but it is also a time of awakening. By standing up, taking action, and being responsible for our choices, we can turn this upheaval into an opportunity for growth and change. Let’s rise to the occasion and nurture the seeds of love and compassion, knowing that they will flourish and create a better world for everyone.

The time has come, my sisters. The time has come to stand together, not just as individual women, but as a powerful collective force for change. We are the answer to the questions that have plagued us for so long. The shift we’ve been waiting for—it’s happening now. But it’s going to take every one of us, every woman, to step into our power.

We are rising with love, compassion, and a fierce sense of purpose. It’s not about competing with one another. It’s about coming together. It’s not about perfection. It’s about commitment and courage. It’s about understanding that in this soil of love, we have the ability to nurture and grow—together.

For far too long, we’ve allowed hatred, control, narcissism, and power struggles to dominate our world. But that’s not the frequency we operate on anymore. We operate on the frequency of love—a vibration that transcends all barriers. This is the soil in which we plant our seeds—seeds of opportunity, hope, and transformation. We nurture them, we water them, and we grow them into something magnificent.

We will not be swayed by those who feed on division, cruelty, or insecurity. Their soil is dead; it will not grow anything of value. But our soil—our soil is rich with compassion, understanding, and possibility. Our soil will grow abundance. It will grow connection. It will grow a future that values every single person, regardless of color, creed, or background.

I’m calling on every woman to step into this movement. To rise up and support one another—whether through our businesses, our advocacy, our creativity, or our love. We are the changemakers, the ones who will create the foundations of this new world. And yes, it will be a grind. It won’t be easy. But this is the path we’ve chosen, and we are in it together, for the long haul.

I don’t care if you wear Chanel or if you shop at Old Navy. I don’t care if your hair is gray or if it’s blonde, red, or black. I don’t care about the labels society puts on us. What matters is our hearts. What matters is our compassion, our strength, our shared humanity. We will not compete. We will not tear each other down. We will rise together.

My platform is my podcast, my books, my voice. I’m here to amplify the voices of women who have stepped up to serve, to support, to inspire. What’s your platform? What’s your unique service to offer this world? What will you bring to this collective? Together, we’ll weave a tapestry of love, service, and community.

But it’s the women who must drive this change. We are the ones who will put this house—our Earth—back in order. It’s time to stop the wars, to stop the hate, and to start the work of nurturing, creating, and growing.

This is just the beginning. Over the next few years, you will see women standing up, each taking ownership of her own life, her gifts, and her responsibility. And together, we will rise. We will rise for the children, for the communities, for the world.

Let’s do this. Let’s plant the seeds. Let’s water them. Let’s grow this future. Together.

24-47. “election empathy.”

November 18, 2024November 17, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 19th

I’ve been grappling with what to discuss this week, and a topic keeps coming to mind that I feel compelled to address: “election empathy.” It’s about my disbelief over the direction America is heading, the leaders being elected, and the disregard for empathy, compassion, and humanity. Too many people are focused on their own well-being and ignore the suffering of others. I find it hard to understand how people can support leaders with a history of mistreating others, especially those with a record of racism, sexism, and cruelty.

Women are suffering, unable to get essential medical care because of fear over lawsuits, and yet, it feels like no one is speaking up. This isn’t just political—it’s a moral issue. We are at a crossroads, where we must decide what kind of world we want to live in. Do we choose love, empathy, and community? Or do we continue down a path of fear and division?

I can’t ignore how the growing political turmoil in the U.S. affects us as Canadians, too. While some people here support divisive figures, we must rise above this. I feel anger at those who voted based on misinformation or blind allegiance. The consequences are real—medical care, social programs, security, and the environment are all at risk. I believe, though, that there’s hope. We can rebuild, reconnect, and rise together in solidarity.

The real challenge now is reaching the people who feel forgotten, those who just want to make ends meet and are not interested in intellectual debates. We need to meet them where they are, listen to their concerns, and address their needs. The choices made today will impact everyone—especially the vulnerable.

America has to face the consequences of putting a man with such a history in power. This is about accountability, not just politics. If you voted for someone whose actions harm others, you’re part of that harm. It’s time to confront that. We need a world based on empathy, not division. As a global community, we need to grow up and mature, to choose kindness over pettiness, and find creative solutions that lift everyone up, especially those suffering.

When you see someone suffering—struggling physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially—may be unable to afford medicine or get the medical help they need, or feeling scared they’ll be silenced if they speak out, I want you to really see them. No one should be treated with such disdain or fear.
Let me be clear: women’s bodies belong to women, and don’t you forget it. Don’t underestimate a group of strong women, either. When we step into our “Mama Mode,” we won’t put up with injustice or being told what we can and cannot do with our own bodies. We don’t need weapons to fight for our rights; our voices, our hearts, our spirits, and our values are enough.

I stand with you, America, with every woman and every person facing unfair treatment. I’ll stand with you because that’s what I believe in—the work I do, the vibrations I feel, and the love I set forward are all in support of that cause. I hope we can all come together in common sense, kindness, inclusivity, and care. It’s time for us, as a human race, to grow up. We have to stop solving problems with pettiness and, instead, find creative solutions that help people feel safe, supported, seen, and heard.

To anyone facing injustice, my heart is with you. To those who may disagree, I ask you to see the full impact of the choices we make and reflect on their moral consequences. It’s time to come together, to embrace love, empathy, and common sense, and build a future where everyone is seen, heard, and valued.
