19-43 Sara’s UK experience

October 21, 2019April 16, 2020Sara Troy 2 Comments

I had a wonderful trip to the UK to see my brother and sister to celebrate our coming of years. As time is passing us by so fast, getting together is a gift as one nevers knows what tomorrow holds, we are 65, 70 and 78, and living in the now is key.

We did so much, lots of walking, dining, shopping, seeing exhibits, movies, and more, it was a full trip.

First was having a wonderful lunch with my cousins, hosted by my cousin Cathrine whom I had not seen in 44 years, she and her husband Darius Rubeck (Dave Rubeck’s sons and also a musician, (who I interviewed here) bought us a fabulous lunch at a 1400 century pub in Rye, my sister Jane was there and my cousin Bridgette and Susie.

My sister and I went to see the Mary Quant exhibit a designer from the ’60s who changed fashion completely, then on to a fabulous meal at The Builders Arms in Chelsie, beautiful trout done in a chili sauce.

My brother and I went back to his new home in Grimsby and had a week of walks, good food and relaxation. I read his new book in the works called “We feel your pain so you don’t have to” it will make a great movie. MORE ON SAMS WORK HERE.

We went to so many great restaurants, like the Doggie cafe where you and your dog can dine, a Vegan cafe in Louth wonderful scones all vegan, fish cakes at Willies pub in Cleethorpes, and a lovely lunch in an old school room in Horncastle.

We went back to London to have my last few days together, We went to the Borough Market and had the most fantastic Paella, the market is filled with wonderful spices, loaves of bread, cheeses, lunch delights and it was great.

We went by St Francis Drakes ship and saw the tallest building in London. It was a beautiful warm day as was most of them while there. Life was buzzing and people buying as was I, and London is in a constant state of building.

The Strand and other wonderful buildings.

My sister and I went to see the Downton Abby movie and loved it, it was so much fun. My brother and I went to see Ad Astra, the Brad Pitt movie, a nice story building movie that did not rely on all action.

Our birthday dinner was at an Italian restaurant in Beckenham, I had mussels, cannelloni, and cream caramel and throughout this trip, I have had wonderful wine.

I am very grateful to them and my kids who made it possible for me to go to the UK and see family, a wonderful trip and so good to be with relatives again.

One thing I could have done without is Brexit, my sister is very involved in it and it got intense, I did a show while there on politics. You Can find that here.

19-42 Becoming a Senior at 65

October 14, 2019October 14, 2022Sara Troy

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on-air October 15th

October 6th I turned 65 years old and now I am officially a senior.

Growing older does not worry me, as I have lost so many way too young, aging is a gift and a gift we need to embrace and put to good use.

There are some perks to becoming a senior, free ferry ride between Vancouver Island and the Mainland, cheap annual bus pass. Senior discount days in most places, so some benefits.

Age is a gift on wisdom if you have taken you Self Discovery of who you are and what your purpose is here n earth. That journey can be done at any age, and one would hope by 65 has been done, but it is never too late to explore ourselves from the inside out.

I feel blessed to be this age, I still have a lot to do in life but now I know to pace my self, listen in and do what needs to be done when I can and not when someone else demands it. My journey to inner wisdom has been taking place since 1994, am I here yet? no, because there are always things to learn about one’s self and our journeys in life. It is not over until this body expires, then our soul and spirit takes what we have learnt forward to the next life.

So do not be afraid of ageing, or going grey/silver, don’t hide the wrinkles, or the drooping boobs and gut, it is who we are now, we are not meant to look like a 20-year-old.

Age gracefully, no you do not have to let your self go, there still is self-dignity, but don’t sweat what age is doing to us, go with the flow. We can aid our selves with a good healthy lifestyle, our eating habits, moderate drinking, not smoking, exercising, living with an abundant attitude to life in mind body and spirit. We can participate in activities that fuel us and share our wisdom with those who are learning about life.

There is so much to do at this age, so many like my self are still working, some of us have too, so choose to, some have embraced all-new careers. Some have taken up hobbies that keep them busy, but do not sit around feeling sorry for your self, for life is about living and loving life.

So do not run from your age, do not try to be an age your not. Be healthy, young in spirit, be positive, be productive, but embrace your age even though it is just a number, it is also your body’s clock winding down but still a long way to go.

19-40 Know Your Political Parties and Decide for yourself…

September 30, 2019April 16, 2020Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Politics politics, normally I stay away from it, but I am in the UK and every hour every show is on Brexit, to leave or stay in the EU. It is causing such a divide and so much mudslinging, that a party NO one wants in is worming the way in because everyone else is concentrating on hanging Borris Johnson even at the cost of their own country, it is mindblowing.

Every day we see more and more ridiculous news on our global politicians, thigh gate, Borris apparently touch a womans thigh 20 years ago but it has taken 20 years for her to come forward to complain, just at the time the opposition are gunning for Borris to be out because they want to stop Brexit. How low can they keep on going?

Hong Kong and China at odds with each other over human rights, but looking at China’s army will they ever get those rights? Russia is worming their way in America politics and taking over other countries, are we are the brink of another war? and if we are which candidate would be the best to face these troubled times with a clear head?

Then in Canada my home, you have the blackface Trudeau being slandered on every media to shame him out of office, I will not be swayed by mudslingers, the more you mudsling the more I stand my ground and will not be swayed by such behaviour. Look at what each candidate is doing or wants to do to serve your country and ask your self, does it serve the whole or only a few? Then decide if in the long term everyone benefits.

Of cause, you have the USA, for the last 3 years, it has been entirely about Trump, this Tweet, that Tweet, firing people left right and centre and lying over and over again. Now we are looking at Impeachment and an upcoming election next year and with so many democrats, how does one decide?

Outcomes the mudslinging, the putdowns, the destroy attitude at any cost including their integrity, it does not build confidence in the people just hysteria.

Trump as a president has been a joke scary one at that, he has been found to be a criminal and lowlife that has the world all shook up not knowing what he will do next because of his instability. We need someone with integrity, gumption and common sense in the White House to make America great again WHO WILL UNIT NOT ONLY THEIR COUNTRY BUT THE WORLD.

So get out and vote, but first read, listen, ask questions and deduce who will be the better person in power that will truly serve your country.

19-38 Sara is of the UK despite her condition

September 16, 2019March 4, 2020Sara Troy

Here I go again, a trip to see my sister and brother in the UK. I am very excited but also know there will be some challenges with my condition along the way.

I have Fibromyalgia and a few things that go with it, this has given me challenges when I have to put pressure on my body that it does not like, but that must not stop me from enjoying life or traveling.

I am NOT MY disease, I have a disease and yes it is my partner in life but it does not control my life completely. Instead, we have an agreement, if I overexert myself, I must allow time to regroup, if I know I am going to overexert myself, I must prepare for it with the right nutrition or and medication so it does not put so much strain on the body.

I will not deny myself the joy of traveling or doing things in life I love, but I will make sure that I am prepared for it and allow that time to heal afterward. We must not let our health challenges become dictators of our lives, the mind of matter along with the spirit, heart, and soul have just as much say and need to be invited to the party and not ignored.

So say yes to things, life is for living, live it, do it, not worrying over can if you should or the what-ifs, etc. Just prepare, listen to your body and with your heart soul and spirit igniting the joy in you, you will be surprised just how much you can do before you have to rest up.

Most of all go and enjoy your self, for that is what life is for, feed the joy, not the pain.

19-37 Pearls of Wisdom….Caring

September 9, 2019March 4, 2020Sara Troy

Disasters are everywhere, the Amazon burning, fires in Africa, and elsewhere, Hurricane Dorian flattening the Bahamas, one thing after the other, it is easy to be overwhelmed.

This is a time we can thank whatever source we paray to that we are safe and sound, but who knows what tomorrow brings and who is next. So it is time to CARE….REALLY CARE.

At times like this is is a time to step up and help our fellow man/woman.child/animal/lifeforms. It is time not to say, “well it does not affect me so who cares” You should care, the Amazon provides 70% of the Earths oxygen, you breathe every moment of every day. These fires destroy lives, crops, your food, and lifeforms. We all pay the price in the end.

We know that governments are not stepping up, money for Fema has been directed to preventing children from entering the US and seems more important than other lives. We know that the Brazilian president does not care for the Amazon and wants to have heavy agriculture instead as it makes more money and is rejecting help from other countries.

So how do we CARE when they don’t? We care because we value life more than money, we care because we understand the ripple effect to us all, we CARE BECAUSE WE HAVE A HEART.

So in any which way you can support those in need, money donations, a money drive at school or work, gathering items to go to the Bahamas and where ever else is needed.

Imagine for one moment that this WAS YOU, would you not want someone somewhere to care? Would you not want someone to help in rebuilding your lives? Don’t wait for governments, we are a human race who need to step up and CARE and do whatever we can to help in any way we can. ONE DROP ADDS UP SO DROP SOME CARING ON SOMEONE SOMEWHERE.
