Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Pat Reihl. Aired from January 13th

It is a NEW YEAR and is a very good time to invest in yourself. First, we have, to be honest with ourselves and the lives we are currently living, are we serving ourselves or crippling our lives? Pat in her honesty shares with us her path of alcoholic destruction and how she finally placed value upon her own life to become a beacon of hope, care and nurturing for others in recovery. We to can overcome when we decide, to be honest about our choices.

14/50 Ask Sara about A Parents Message to Kids for this Festive Season

December 12, 2014December 9, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ask Sara with Sara Troy Aired December 16th on

I started out like every human does — a child, small and unknowing, unaware of all that life would ask of me. My environment and the intentions of my family shaped me. Many dreams were placed upon me, yet not much was truly expected of me. I learned to wish for a life I didn’t believe I could reach, to want things I was told I’d never become.

My desires didn’t match my confidence, and my self-worth sat too low to reach for the stars. This isn’t a “woe is me” story — it’s a familiar one, lived by far too many. The dysfunctional raise the next generation in a world that is, itself, dysfunctional.

Television shows us the ideal family — the picture-perfect standard we’re told to uphold.

But in whose world?
By whose evaluation?
And why do we believe that perfection is the norm?

We cling to the idea that there is one correct foundation for family and life — but who defined that standard? What does normal even mean, and who gets to apply that label?

If a child is loved, fed, housed, and nurtured — if they are seen, valued, and given time — is that not the true definition of family wholeness?

We are all flawed. No one escapes that. But flaws do not make us bad. Life is a classroom, and learning is the curriculum — not living up to someone’s unrealistic expectations, but living by the guidance of one’s own conscience.

Each generation hopes the next will learn better, grow wiser, and rise beyond the mistakes of the past. We forget that everyone is a student in the classroom of life — learning in different ways, through different experiences.

It’s easy to judge our parents for what they didn’t do right.
Harder to thank them for doing the best they could with what they knew.

So, children — be patient with us, as we have been with you. We know how hard growing up is… we’ve done it too. We know how exhausting constant change can be — because life keeps rewriting the rules.

That’s why I say:
Live by your conscience.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Choose optimism even when the odds seem stacked against you.

And always remember:
If you believe it — the sun will rise again tomorrow.

This Christmas go out of your way to let your parents know that you appreciate what they have done and have tried to do for you. After all, odds will be that one day you too will be a parent and all you will wish for, is your own children’s happiness, safety, health, and personal abundance. Hopefully, they will be appreciated what you did for them.

I wish you Joy, Laughter, Love, and Peace to one and all over the world this Festive Joyous Season.

Remember saying ‘Thank You’ can work miracles.

Merry Christmas & have a Mamarvellous New Year.

P14/50a Keeping Our Memories Alive and Inviting Business

December 8, 2014March 6, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Anastasia Modestova ORIGINALLY Aired December 16th

Anastasia Modestova is a videographer. She Immigrated to Canada in 2008 when she fell in love, she got her MBA degree at HEC Montreal. Anastasia worked as a marketing director in Vancouver BC. B ut as good as the job was and as good as she was at it, her heart and soul was else where. In 2013 founded a video production company Movie About You where capturing memories for generations to come and helping business promote their work has become her true calling.

She says to think about your most important values. Hers are Freedom, Creativity and Beauty. That is why she became a videographer. And she loves every moment of my life because she can create beauty in visual format and touch peoples hearts. Believe me, it is a very powerful feeling.

For Business

Ideal for small business owners. Why? Because you need to spread the word out about your products or services and you are determined to do so in the most effective way. And because your budget is restricted.

Well, If you are looking to create a video for your business webpage, your professional blog, your YouTube channel, your Facebook page, your LinkedIn profile, your Google+ account or for other social media and if you are located in Vancouver, Canada, a video is the greatest tool to achive your business goals. Most of our clients are small business owners and we understand exactly what you are looking for.

The reason You Tube and videography are booming industries is because people in general yearn for real life experiences. Photos are simply not enough. Everyone wants to feel and see the person in action, hear the sounds of their voices and view their real life facial expressions.

For Family

Each family including yours has its own unique story, a story that is worth transferring to future generations.

Most of us a lot know a lot about our parents, less about our grandparents and almost nothing about our great grandparents. That’s sad.

As an example, wouldn’t it be an amazing experience to go back in time whenever we wanted and watch those in our family lineage from say the 19th century -speaking, smiling, sharing their happy and sad moments. How powerful it would be to keep the memories and feelings alive…That is precisely why we have created The Family Video Legacy…

A Family Video Legacy preserves your family spiritual DNA, inspires your children, your grandchildren.

P14/45b SONG OF THE HEART:Walking the Path of Light

November 4, 2014August 19, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Aired November 11th-17th on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Francine Vale

Francine Vale

Francine Vale was born in the Bronx, married her ‘Prince on a White Horse’ and brought her beautiful children into the world. Looking toward the future and her family’s security she became her husband’s partner and together they built a successful business. In 1991 her spirit guide revealed himself to her, showing Francine images of her true authentic self, a golden light being, spoke of their home planet, and reminded her of her destiny on Earth. In this way, with the spiritual guidance of utmost gentleness and loving-kindness, through experiences of profound wonder and teachings of profound wisdom, all the while maintaining relationships and holding on to her New York lifestyle until it could no longer be sustained, Francine’s life was changed forever.

“When I was three years old, rocking my dolls in their cradle…suddenly my attention was drawn to an extraordinary loving presence right beside me…so I looked up. Right here in our foyer on the fourth floor in this old building in the Bronx my angel had found me!” from my destiny work, “Song of the Heart: Walking the Path of Light.”

She shares with us today her journey to consciousness and how her healing in mind body and spirit has taken on a new divine energy.

A Seer, a Healer, a Past Life Healer, Francine has the ability to See what is needed to guide people forward to their true purpose.

She now promotes a LOVE ENERGY that not only heals us but can be part of healing each other.

SONG OF THE HEART:

Walking the Path of Light

By Francine Vale

Do you want to feel lighter, brighter & mightier?
Your past lives can hold the key to self-healing.

In a world of overwhelming chaos and uncertainty, where more than 200 girls can be kidnapped for simply wanting an education and planes can seemingly disappear without a trace, it is not surprising that the global consciousness has been negatively impacted. Healer and visionary Francine Vale, author of SONG OF THE HEART: Walking the Path of Light (Word of Love Press; $19.99; e-Book $6.99), has the prescription for what ails our collective psyche in the form of a compelling memoir that illuminates the path to a higher level of consciousness & self-healing.

SONG OF THE HEART illuminates what so many of us would otherwise remain blind to: the presence of Guardian Spirits just waiting to assist us, the Oneness of humanity, and the true structure of what Francine Vale calls “All That Is.”

Vale reveals that the title, SONG OF THE HEART, came to her in a vision and the book was dictated to her by Starlight, her lifelong Guardian Spirit and muse from a dimension beyond Earth. The purpose of this celestial dictation was to allow Vale to “bring greater awareness of the absolute necessity for love and the power of love to shift the energy at every turn of our lives.”

SONG OF THE HEART is a uniquely structured volume. The first part is an engrossing fictionalization of the author’s family history, where a tragic tale is told by a special being whose calling is to help us see that we each have a soul, what that soul is, and how all of our souls are connected. In the second part, fiction meets reality as the psychic scars inflicted in the first part manifest themselves in the lives of the actual Vale family. The family actions and interactions in this epic tale will move you deeply while affording you insights into your own relationships. The intention is to help each reader “tap into the Unity Consciousness and be able to create closeness with your guardian angel and spirit guides.” Best of all, Vale teaches us the primary aspects of healing, accessible to all humanity, and at the same time shows why she knows “there is no death, only transformation of energy.”
