Originally Aired on 12-5-2013. “Positive Living Vibrations” with Sara Troy and Sheri Fink on the liberating art of storytelling.

When I first interviewed Sheri she was still at the early stages of her journey, now 2 years later she has her own T.V show coming and more books globally being enjoyed.

Sheri Fink is a #1 international best-selling & award-winning children’s author of the books, The Little Rose, The Little Gnome, Exploring the Garden with The Little Rose, The Little Firefly, creator of ‘The Whimsical World of Sheri Fink‘ children’s brand, and an international speaker.

Sheri began writing as a child, and continued throughout her award-winning marketing career. In 2010, she decided to leave the comfort of her corporate job, and pursue her passion for making a difference in the lives of others through her uplifting stories.

Sheri’s first children’s book, The Little Rose, is an enchanting tale about a rose growing in a weedbed who learns to accept and love herself despite her differences. Published in March 2011, The Little Rose has been a #1 best-seller on Amazon for over 60 weeks. The Kindle edition became a best-seller and a #1 top-rated book in Children’s eBooks on Amazon.

Her second inspirational children’s book, The Little Gnome, was published in March 2012 and debuted at #1 on the Amazon best-seller list. Set in a Victorian garden, The Little Gnome is a heartwarming tale about an adorable garden gnome experiencing change and the wonder of the four seasons for the first time.

Exploring the Garden with The Little Rose, debuted on the Amazon best-seller list in October 2012. The story takes young children on an educational alphabetical adventure alongside the Little Rose.
Sheri’s most recent work, The Little Firefly, became a #1 best-seller 18 days prior to its March 2013 release date. The Little Firefly follows the tale of a late-blooming firefly who is surrounded by fireflies already gifted with the ability to glow. Essential themes such as love, friendship, and acceptance are highlighted in this inspiring story.
Sheri’s children’s books have won numerous literary honors, most recently including the esteemed Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Medallion, a B.R.A.G. Medallion Award®, a KART Kids Book List Award®, and a Gold Medal in the Reader’s Favorite International Book Awards®.

Sheri’s first non-fiction book, Dreams Come True: Your Daily Journal for Maximum Success and Well-Being, was published in 2010. Inspired by The Success Principles taught by Jack Canfield, co-creator of the wildly successful Chicken Soup for the Soul series, the Journal empowers adults and teens to dream big and take daily action to achieve their goals so they can live the lives of their dreams.

In 2011 and 2012, Sheri was acknowledged as one of the top “50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading.” She is featured in several inspirational non-fiction books, including three international best-sellers, Self-Esteem Doesn’t Come in a Bottle by Kelly Falardeau, Dare to Dream: This Life Counts by Debbi Dachinger, and 1,000 Tips for Teenagers by Kelly Falardeau and Martin Presse.

0064 Feeding those who need our Support.

November 7, 2013January 7, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Bringing awareness to the URGENCY to feed those who need our support and the food banks that serve them with guest Pat Binette, aired 11-12-2013

letsfeedthehungry-600x251

There are too many hungry people in this world and it is shameful that in this day and age it is so. With an imbalance of abundance, banks, governments and corporations all leaving society poor due to their actions, we have more and more people needing the help of food banks.

Never assume that a person who is hungry is a looser or a lay-about, for today we have so many people in need who have lost their homes, jobs, health, that they need the support of their community to just eat.

Today we discuss the need for food support from one of our Angels Pat Binette at Pitt Meadows “Friends in need food bank”, that has for the last 13 years been feeding the people who have fallen on hard times. I know because I have been one, and without that bridge, I would have been dreadfully hungry.

Pat was asked to start this journey 13 years ago through her councilman and church. At that time she supplied 25 hampers a month to those in need, now 13 years later it is 175 hampers a month plus weekly food and this is a small community and that still is not enough. With over 200 hundred children to feed, seniors, people on disability and those who have lost their jobs and let us not forget the pets in need too, it is imperative that we lend a helping hand. Small or big, food left at your local store, buying a share coupon in support or directly donating to your local food bank, you can make a difference between someone eating or starving.

People think governments support these food banks, but in actual fact, it is Angels like Pat and her team of volunteers that make it happen, without them, many people would not have any food to eat.

Never assume or judge for you never know when you may need this kind of help, and never assume that it is not all walks of life that at some stage in their lives may need help to stand on their own 2 feet again. They have walked in many of the people shoes and know what it is like to know hunger and to feel alone.

Pat and her team give care, an ear, advice, support emotionally, food, and compassion to those who are in need, without these Angels where would the hungry go?

0065 The Blindsided Prophet’s, do we have free will?

November 1, 2013November 14, 2016Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

“Positive Living Vibrations” with Sara Troy and her guest Sonja Lewis, Originally aired 11-14-2013.

God’s role is to guide us in life, he is our custodian so do we have free will?

Author of The Barrenness, Sonja Lewis proudly introduces her second novel, The Blindsided Prophet, a riveting read about a modern day prophet who fails to predict a tragic event, which alters his life forever.

Though psychological fiction at its deepest, the novel is a story about redemption. No matter how broken you are you can be restored. This is God’s message to the people through his prophet, Isaiah Brown. All that is a required is a willingness to look within and exercise the freewill He gives us to govern our own thinking.

Sonja has appeared in national media in the USA including CNN, Black Enterprise, and The Tom Joyner Morning Show and in a host of regional and local media. In addition, she has been featured in media in Canada (The Toronto Star and The Canadian Press) and the United Kingdom.

A former newspaper journalist for The Albany Herald (Georgia, US), Sonja has also written for The Guardian, and has run a successful communications consultancy in the UK. Clients included the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and CBHA, a subsidiary housing association of The Peabody Trust.

Since 2002, the Kelowna native’s rapid growth as a singer/songwriter transpired out of love and encouragement from his unbelievable family, friends, and open hearted strangers. He emerged in Vancouver, BC as an intriguing World Folk Fusion artist in 2004, and his magnetic melodies and warm demeanor have been dissolving woes and changing perspectives ever since.

0059 Easing the Shifts Through Wisdom with The Egyptian Cat Beings

September 30, 2013January 9, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Mary Elizabeth Hoffman,Easing the Shifts Through Wisdom, Truth and Timing. Aired 10-29-2013.

With an understanding of our own personal timing aligned with Cosmic timing, we are able to make wise choices and decisions taking advantage of opportunities we wrote into our own personal scripts. As with any journey, having a roadmap assists in choosing our route – whether scenic, challenging or a combination of the two. Knowledge of the alignment of the astronomy, astrology and the personal birth chart is one such map that when we learn to read the legend, we become more adept in our exploration and understanding of all options open to us.

The Egyptian Cat Beings, Mary’s guides and guardians, have shared with her a variety of tools, techniques and information that she has been making available to clients, family and friends all her life. Today we peruse a variety of topics designed to enhance personal empowerment in ways to create connection, communication, cooperation, passion and joy during the upcoming 13 year Phoenix Fire Initiation all Kingdoms in all dimensions will be experiencing – Devic, Imaginal, Elemental, Angelic, Human, Integral and Creator -, the energy shifts of the solstices and equinoxes beginning in 2014 and the current series of karmic destiny oriented transformations the earth and all inhabitants are participating in.

We each have the choice as to whether we will experience these shifts with ease or difficulty. Learning and applying the techniques of Balanced Reciprocity facilitates the ease.

Mary is also the self-published author of the monthly publication Cat Beings Oracle now available in the magazine The Sedona Journal of Emergence, the books Tefnut’s Techniques, Empowering Sacredness: Wisdom For Everyday Living, Sekhmet’s Secrets, Balanced Reciprocity: Keys to Harmony With Self & Others and Seshat’s Teachings – Introduction to Karmic Galactic Astrology. She recently completed the first volume in the series Awakening the Cat entitled Meet the Cat Beings:Gateway to Ancient Egyptian Wisdom & Initiation. http://sedonajournal.com/

Mary gives fast paced direct readings focusing on creative, empowering solutions to life?s challenges. Mary uses astrology, tarot and psychic intuition. Consult her for questions on timing, relocation, health, career, finance, personal growth and relationships. Mary has led workshops and trips to sacred sites around the world since 1986 on such subjects as astrology, personal growth, earth energies, earth changes, lost civilizations, prophecy, sacred geometry and alternative healing.

She is an author, dowser, astrologer, tarot reader, teacher, minister, personal growth facilitator and healer.

Mary continues to facilitate journeys to a variety of sacred sites around the world offering the opportunity to participate in these life altering trips.

Having been raised a Southern Baptist, Mary Elizabeth’s greatest influence was her grandfather on her father’s side who was an active participant in the Pentecostal Holiness movement. Through him she was exposed to the supernatural, prophecy, laying on of hands for healing and speaking in tongues. Because of this she has researched and studied many varied belief systems, philosophies, mythologies and psychologies the world over for Truth. She has been active since 1962 as both student and teacher of many ancient spiritual paths. These have included Egyptian, Celtic, Native American, Hawaiian Kahuna, Druidism and Wicca traditions as well as other indigenous cultures around the world.

Hoffman has been sharing her expertise with individuals and groups by giving workshops around the U.S. and the world since 1986. She has been doing wholistic consulting with clients since 1975. Mary has studied numerous alternative healing techniques with psychologists and therapists who are on the leading edge in their fields. These include Advanced Sound Healing Intensives with Tom Kenyon (psychologist and president of Acoustic Brain Research) learning ways to facilitate spiritual growth, a greater sense of peace and increase brain wave activity during various states of consciousness. Integrated Awareness with Connie Newton (a technique for balancing the right and left hemispheres of the brain) facilitating whole brain functioning has allowed Mary to develop numerous techniques to assist her clients with their growth. Vivation-Rebirthing with Jim Leonard, Leonard Orr and Tom Kenyon (an ancient Tibetan breath technique for processing emotions) has given her insights into facilitating movement through feelings that might otherwise immobilize us.

Hoffman is an ordained non-denominational Alliance of Divine Love minister through the state of Florida. She has studied Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Tibetan, Jewish, East Indian and many other traditions giving her a greater understanding of the global religious and spiritual perspective. The belief in one true God is at the core of her work. Her personal intensives as well as her audio taped phone consultations act as inspiration, guidance and empowerment for her many clients. Her varied applications of inspirational, spiritual and personal growth techniques, her personal experiences and stories from the many different ancient sites around the world and her outgoing personality makes her a sought after speaker and teacher. Subjects covered during her lectures and workshops include Astrology, Astronomy, Personal Empowerment and Personal Growth, Psychology, Mythology, Symbology, Empowering Sacredness, Earth Energies,Dowsing, Ancient Sites and Earth Changes,Lost Civilizations and Cultures as well as alternative forms of Healing and Spirituality.
