I am a senior in some places, and not quite there in others (age 65-70 to be a senior), but I am acknowledging that I am over that ledge of middle age tilting towards the other side.

I am 61 years young, I have 3 wonderful children ages from 27-33 and not one marriage or grand child yet. I have grand puppies, 4 of them and believe me they can be a handful, but I have no idea when I will hold a Grand Child in my arms.

I have friends older than me who also have no sign of a grand-kids yet, they will be in their 70’s when they become a Grand Parent and the question we ask is ,are we going to be energetic enough for them when they do finally arrive?

I am a struggler, story teller, nurturer, love the walks swims the drives, but have never been able to run with my kids never mind grand-kids. I have always had health issues that got in my way of physically living it up, don’t get me wrong, I have lived it up, I danced, and danced, but I was young and even limited then, now those limits are more and a daily challenge.

So will I have that energy to play with the grandchildren? Will I have the patience with their exuberant energy? And in waiting so long to have children was that a mistake?

This is what I will talk about this week on the show, for in today’s world there are so many children waiting to have their children, which I agree on, for children are for life and you must be ready, but it also means being an older Grand Parent and one must think on that too.

C16/12a “Gabriel’s Journey” with Nora Rose

March 16, 2016November 25, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Nora Rose aired from March 22nd on.

Nora Rose is a teacher, author, speaker and coach. Her current book titled “Gabriel’s Journey” is about an 18 year old boy who leaves his family in Naples, Italy to travel by boat to the United States in 1920. This story is based off the actual life of her grandfather Gabriel Iovino. After his brother died in WW1 he had a desire to go to America to begin a new life.

Nora Rose grew up in Chicago, Illinois. She attended St.Bartholomew grade school and Notre Dame High School for Girls. She went to college in Evanston, IL for her B.A. degree and became a teacher. She was a teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes in Chicago and then Evanston Illinois District 65. She was also a teacher at B.J. Hooper School in Lindenhurst Illinois for 1st and 3rd grade. She went on to get her Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from National College of Education. At this time she moved with her husband to Wisconsin and raised three daughters. She started a child care center name Roots & Wings which she owned and operated for 22 years. When her children were young she brought them to work with her. Many years later she went back to college at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a communication degree. She started substitute teaching and wrote a book titled The Story-Telling Cottage in 1997. She was in the process of rewriting this book to make it better when a whole new book evolved as Gabriel’s Journey.

In 2010 she was caring for her mother who had diabetes, hernias and a weak heart. In 2014, her mother died and Nora had a difficult time grieving over the loss of her mother and her business. At this time she also lost her business. Her whole life changed. To learn how to think more clearly and better, she went to a one year workshop with the Canfield Training team and Jack Canfield to become a certified Life Coach. Where she learned many tools and techniques to help people create a better life. She included a picture of Jack Canfield on the back cover with herself to show readers that teachers and mentors want you to learn new ideas and concepts to make your life better. Nora believes learning is a lifelong process. We are always looking for new teachers as we grow and change throughout life.

This inspiring story encourages readers to believe in their dreams and to connect with their own family history. All families started somewhere and it’s interesting conversation to find out from where and how they got here. The book includes beautiful illustrations to enhance the adventure.

timthumb Partnering with an illustrator who listened to her vision then created it was truly a magical experience. It was just as much fun to create the illustrations as it was to write the story. She absolutely loves the illustrations!

She also did many hours of research in the archives of Ellis Island in New York to include original documents from Ellis Island in the book. When students learn that she had to do extensive research before writing this story they are in awe. I was teaching a 5th grade class how to do research for an assignment and after we were done with the lesson I took out my book to share with them. It made it real for them. To see how their substitute teacher did research and wrote a book from it made then realize that this is possible for them to do. Real people write books not just people in hollywood or famous people. They were very inspired.

In the back of the book Nora included how to make a vision board so readers can create one of their own to help reach a goal they might have. She also included a passport activity so readers can make a passport to think about where in the world they would like to travel.

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.

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

Pizzas, parcels, good news bad news are delivered but babies should be really born.

How To Make A Birth Plan

Over the last few years, when hospitals have become increasingly busy and understaffed, creating a birth plan can be a great way to express your hopes and wishes about your upcoming birth. A birth plan will help to ensure that everybody involved in the birth understands what it is you really want.

After months of doing the labour of love, filming and creating …finally, my first “Baby “is born.

IT is my online program for parents to be.

Hello, my name is Jutta Wohlrab and I have been a midwife for over 30 years. I’ve helped bring over 2800 babies into this world and there’s nothing I haven’t seen when it comes to pregnancy, labour and birth. I created the Happy Birthing Days online course so that you and other expectant mothers can learn how to give birth, how birth really works and what to do to make labour easier for you, your baby and your birth partner.

The Happy Birthing Days online course is made up of three modules, each designed to educate you enough so that you know what to do, when to do it, and what decisions to make during your pregnancy, labor, and birth.

The start for this fantastic platform for parents-to-be is:

Happy Birthing Days inside Elements Of Birth my online childbirth education system.

In 60 videos that around 5 to 15 min long I explain and share my knowledge, exercises, tips and tricks and everything I and my parents to be find effective and useful.

Happy Birthing Theory, Happy Birthing Body, and Happy Birthing Mind

I have taught my class already for many years and hundreds of parents have greatly benefited from it.

After more than 30 years of helping and supporting mothers to be in the world, I am asking you to support me. If you have a pregnant friend, sister, daughter, colleague, or anyone else, could you please be so kind as to share my information?

I put a lot of unique exercises , theories and even great stuff from Hypnosis and NLP into my Program In times of 30 to 80 %of a C-section rate , the highest intervention rate at birth ever I felt the need to create a program that women all over the world can easily access to achieve a joyful, fearless safe and happy birth FOR BOTH MOTHER AND CHILD CLICK ON BOOK TO BUY

My life’s work is and has been for more than 30 years to make pregnancy, birth, and the time after a better experience. To summarize, as an international midwife with years of experience, I’ve put all my best tips, trick,s and advice into this online course. Having a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can have. You owe it to yourself and your baby to educate yourself and those around you with the best birth and pregnancy advice so that you can truly have the birth you want. With hours and hours of video tutorials all designed to help you this is the best gift you can give yourself and your baby.

I very much look forward to seeing you inside the online course.
