TSM 15/38 How do you “JUST LET IT GO”?

September 20, 2015July 7, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and Chris Williams aired from September 22nd-on with instant listening.

What would you do if someone took your loved ones away from you? Would you want revenge? none would blame you, BUT; how do you forgive. How do you JUST LET GO and let love heal? Chris Williams did, this is his story.

On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, each faced a drastically different and uncertain future. But as Chris Williams sat in his demolished vehicle, staring at the car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his nine-year-old daughter, and his eleven-year-old son, he committed to do something extraordinary: he would forgive.

Chris Williams’ story is the cinematic tale of how a person can forgive despite the retaliatory tendencies that surface within the dark corners of the human heart, showing the world that hope, love and forgiveness can overcome all when you let it go. In addition to the inspirational presentation of Just Let Go, audiences will be treated to an exclusive introduction from radio personality Delilah!

TSM 15/40 Spiritual Emergence with our Elders Teachings

September 18, 2015June 1, 2019Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Grandmother Kaariina Saarinen aired FROM October 6th

Grandmother Kaariina Saarinen M.Ed.Coun. is a holder and keeper of her maternal Grandmother’s Medicine Bundle.

Her greatest passion is empowering the genius of young ones, as well as engaging olders through conversation and ceremonies to step into LIVING LEGACIES and initiations into Eldership.

She has lived three distinct stages of the FUll Wheel of LIfe.
A 15-year career as a guidance counsellor in secondary schools revealed a particular knowingness. Student clients walked amongst family constellations as well as ancestors. In those early professional years, Kaariina realized that she was a seer and had the wisdom to intuit what these youth were not saying! Her rapport was strong and those relationships thrived, developing into a peer counselling programme focussed upon bridging the middle years with adolescent rites!

We live in these uncalibrated times when there are generations so unaware of the potency of thoughts beliefs and words, that actions actually hinder their own liberation as well as the liberation of the genius of their children and grandchildren.

AND we also live in the times of the Spiritual Emergence; a time between times when we can serve as the tipping points as the acupuncture needles and release ancestral and epigenetic traumas from our own biologies and resanctify them; as well as release this earth body

For that I am sure Pachamama and Gaia and Mawu and Mother earth would only heave a sigh of relief rather than continuing to volcanically express shake us up with our earthquakes of awakening or tornado through our midwestern minds!

Congratulations; beloved listeners, you are here and may you be in that time of emergence.

My intention in sharing this broadcast with you all is to inspire awaken and activate genetic codes keys glyphs symbols in your etheric bodies so that you are open to resignaturing your forms your bloodlines your lives…

My name is Grandmother Kaariina; Kaa is the soul body RII is compassion in action and NA is the nothing from which everything comes and to which everything returns.

I am a bloodline shamanka and I have passed many initiations and tests in order to stand for this climate change that begins inside each and every one of our hearts.

I serve as one of 7 abuellas for the Danza de Luna in Costa Rica, and offered a voice for Grandmothers at the eagle Quetzal Condor gathering of wisdom keepers in Sedona Arizona this past April. I bow down to my abuella Marguerita Nuez and my elders including Sequoia trueblood , and our spirit grandfathers: grandfather William Commanda, Gfather Silver Fox, Gfather White Buffalo…..and my blood family! the weather of our minds the climate of our hearts and the reflections in our relationships all of them including and especially with our wild ancestral relatives is what wakes me up in the morning and why sometimes I retreat into the forests along wild rivers along the lakes of our lives and now into the jungles of the solitude times to earth listen….

Welcome to this story and I know your story counts as well@!

My global awareness and my current focus is two-fold: the young ones and the women

Today I share with you testimonials from the young and their calling for elders

their need for sanctuaries their co-creative efforts to reinhabit functional families and hopefully sacred partnerships that include gender alchemy

I also include our current call to women in the world to reactivate the wild heart and that indigenous native spirit of mother nature!

Our next launch is our retreat and new moon offering in North and South Carolina

we are aligned with several other sistars all of whom are offering warrior goddess trainings and womb clearings as well as an attunement to the Thirteen Moons, to rites of passage as women and initiations to an adventurous life!

For all of our relations.

Ileana Collazo

I learned all I needed about creating art as a young girl in my grandmother’s garden—where I sat doing what as an adult I call meditating—that quiet spot, became my temple.

Many years passed before I began to birth the creations conceived in my early daydreams. I started to write fiction and poetry, and then my mind exploded into a galaxy of colors, shapes, and, movement, as I started to paint (on surfaces, digitally, and then included digital photography to my artistic spectrum); creating dream worlds that entice observers to travel through my work surface has become one of my key life purposes. My art is representative of the twists and turns we take in the course of our daily lives, and of the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds us.

My work is my gift to the world, and to everyone who falls in love with it.

I was born in Cuba; and have lived in Spain, New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts. I now reside in Miami, Florida where I work and play at Collazo Art Studio with my artist husband Miguel, three dogs, and a cat named Monkey.

http://issuu.com/art_beyond/docs/art_beyond_sept_oct_2015

This is a long-overdue project the artist has been sub-consciously creating since her childhood, and one she plans to continue working on for the rest of her life.

Her hope is to create a collective of like-minded men and women creatives to collaborate on a global project that will yield funds through art sales/sponsorships which will be partially donated to improve women’s lives around the globe; as well as provide well-deserved revenue for artists that dedicate their lives to creating thought-provoking, life-impacting works that benefit society at large.

“Focusing the mind on accomplishing the impossible is how we transform our Dreams, Inspirations, Visions and Aspirations in life into becoming our reality. I am very thankful and fortunate for being blessed with all of my life experiences. For it is through these experiences that I am becoming the person that I am meant to be, a DIVA who believes that anything in life is possible. All you have to do is believe. Then as Nike says…”Just do it!”

My passion and love of for music has always played a very important role in my life. In fact, I spent most of my professional life working in the professional and consumer audio and music industries. Many of the things I have been able to accomplish in my life are to music. Here is a music video that inspired me, my work and in creating The Living Fractals Company and everything that it stands for…
